The “news” disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan according to which on October 13 at around 2 p.m. the troops of the Defense Army (of Nagorno-Karabakh) allegedly opened fire at an Azerbaijani military police car escorting a motorcade transporting “non-military cargo” and damaged the military police car, is complete disinformation and is aimed at not only creating artificial tension in the region, but also at casting a shade on the significance of the Russian peacekeeping mission. This is stated in the press release issued by the Defense Army of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“The units of the Defense Army remain fully committed to maintaining the ceasefire regime,” the press release also reads.
