Defense Ministry spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan presented on his Facebook page an overview of recent events:
"On northern and southern directions of Artsakh and Azerbaijani armed forces front-line, there are still ongoing battles, with Armenian side having the initiative in its hands. We continue retaliating the adversary, however they are dictating in many parts of front-line. There are still ongoing battles on some parts of front-line, since the adversary has accumulated large forces here. I would like to mention several points.
Watch the so - called Azerbaijani “front releases” carefully and pay attention to a specific peculiarity: There is no clear information on Armenian casualties, loss of military equipment, not even showing any exact positions occupied by them. We have suffered casualties, which have been talked about, however they are not even able to present that, meaning that violent classes are taking place on their frontiers and the initiative is in the hands of Armenian side.
Also pay attention to the attitude of the two communities towards the military actions taking place for 2 days already. The society is enthusiastic with a great flow of volunteers heading to front-line, accompanied with songs and dances, while the adversary has completely the opposite image.
I would also like to highlight the accurate and balanced behavior of Armenian media, refraining from adversary media traps, demonstrating alert, patriotic and proficient opinion, which is, of course, a significant progress during the past few years.
To end with, I would like to once again emphasize about not paying attention to every possible release on the casualties, territorial and military equipment loss designed to cause panic among the society. Informational attack is considered to be an integral part of a modern war.
We possess a complete and precise information, currently being deciphered, and will soon be available to public".
