Azerbaijan again falsely accuses Armenia of border shooting in fake news campaign

The Azerbaijani authorities have again falsely accused Armenia of border shooting in an ongoing disinformation campaign, the Armenian Ministry of Defense said Thursday.

“The statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, alleging that on April 9, at approximately 11:50 p.m., units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire towards Azerbaijani combat positions located in the northeastern section of the border, does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Ministry of Defense said.

“It is worth recalling that the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia has proposed the establishment of a joint Armenia-Azerbaijan mechanism for investigating ceasefire violations and related reports. However, Azerbaijan has yet to respond to this initiative.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms that, in accordance with the position of the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, it stands ready to investigate the facts supporting the statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia,” it added.
