“Azerbaijani MoD has spread disinformation as if on July 15 at 10:00 am, the Defense Forces carried out fortification works in Askeran region of Artsakh, which were allegedly suspended by AZE units”, NK Defence Army reports.
“Thus, AZE MoD is trying to justify the fire on civilians doing agricultural work.
On July 15, at around 09:50 am, the Azerbaijani side opened fire from small arms on the civilians doing agricultural work in the Nerkin Sznek community of Askeran region of the Republic of Artsakh”, the Ministry added.
