Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) denied opening fire at Azerbaijani positions. Nagorno-Karabakh said Azerbaijan is again “distorting reality” by spreading false accusations. “The statement released by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accusing the Defense Army units of opening fire around 08:45, June 15 at Azerbaijani positions deployed in the occupied territories of Martuni region of the Republic of Artsakh is yet another disinformation”, the Artsakh Defense Ministry said in a statement.
“The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, trying to substantiate the fire by its units targeting civilians carrying out agricultural work, is once again distorting reality, once again claiming to have disrupted alleged engineering works in the Martuni region. As reported earlier, the Azerbaijani side opened small arms fire around 09:15 - 11:14, June 14, at civilians conducting agricultural work in the Matchkalashen and Tchartar communities of Martuni region”, the ministry added.
