BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 24. Armenia is
trying to cover up its armed provocations with disinformation, the
Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense said in a statement, Trend
reports.
“On February 24 at 12:45, units of the Armenian armed forces
from positions located in the direction of the settlement of
Yukhari Shorja, Basarkechyar region, fired from small arms at the
positions of the Azerbaijan Army in the direction of the settlement
of Yellidzha, Kalbajar region.
The corresponding surveillance means clearly established that
the fire was opened from a post of the Armenian armed forces
located at the indicated coordinates (40°05’04” N; 45°52’28”
E).
In order to conceal the committed armed provocation, the
Armenian Ministry of Defense disseminated information that the fire
was allegedly opened by the Azerbaijani units, and, to make this
misinformation look plausible, indicated the coordinates of the
positions of the units of the Azerbaijani Army.
The Azerbaijani units did not open fire from this direction and,
in order to ensure sustainable stability on the conditional border,
no retaliatory actions were taken in connection with the
provocation of the opposite side,” the statement reads.
