Armenia refutes fresh disinformation from Azerbaijan

The Armenian side has once again refuted a statement from Azerbaijan.

“The statement by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, alleging that on April 8, between 7:20 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia opened fire towards Azerbaijani combat positions located in the southeastern section of the border, does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

It recalled 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 Defense reaffirmed 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 Defense of Azerbaijan, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia.
