Armenia has refuted fresh disinformation from Azerbaijan.
“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defiance of Azerbaijan, alleging that on March 19, from 7:00 p.m. to 7:10 p.m., the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire on Azerbaijani combat positions in the eastern part of the border, does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
It reminded 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 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.
“As of now, the Republic of Azerbaijan has not provided the Republic of Armenia with any factual evidence or justification regarding the alleged ceasefire violations by the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia,” the Defense Ministry stated.
