Armenian Armed Forces units did not open fire on Azerbaijani positions: Ministry of Defense

Azerbaijan has once again falsely accused Armenia of border shooting in a disinformation campaign, the Armenian Defense Ministry reports.

“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, alleging that on April 28 at approximately 12:25 a.m., the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia opened fire on Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern section of the border, does not correspond to reality. It is important to note 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 of Defence of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms 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 Defence of Azerbaijan, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
