Information distributed by the Armenian side that units of the Azerbaijani army allegedly opened fire on the military facility and automotive equipment of the Russian armed forces located in the Garkanik region is completely false. This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan.
disseminating such information, the Armenian side is aimed at attracting international attention to large-scale provocations committed on the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, and use the CSTO for its dirty purposes.
We emphasize once again that the Azerbaijani army takes retaliatory measures only against the legitimate military goals of the Armed Forces of Armenia in order to prevent large -scale provocations.
