Ministry of Defense: Reports in the Armenian media on Azerbaijan's intervention in the territory of Armenia are nonsense

Baku, September 13, AZERTAC The reports about Azerbaijan's intervention in Armenia's territory circulated in Armenian mass and social media are nothing but absurd, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan has told AZERTAC. The report states that the Republic of Armenia is the region’s aggressor and occupying state. The presence of military personnel and equipment of the Armenian armed forces in the Karabakh economic zone of Azerbaijan continues to this day. “In response to Armenia's provocation, the Azerbaijan Army is taking local countermeasures and neutralizing firing points. Armenia's ongoing policy of military adventurism and revenge, the intense firing on the positions of the Azerbaijan Army in Kalbajar, Lachin, Dashkasan and Gadabay directions over the past month, as well as the large-scale provocations it committed today, are the main reasons for the escalation of the situation. Therefore, responsibility rests squarely with Armenia’s military and political leadership,” the ministry said.
