Armenian Government Issues Statement on False Information from Azerbaijan

The press service of the Government of Armenia has issued a statement.

“In recent days, official sources from Azerbaijan have resumed publications regarding violations of the ceasefire regime by the Armenian Armed Forces along the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border. The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia has denied this information. Despite this, Azerbaijani sources continue to publish similar reports, seasoning them with geopolitical insinuations.

The Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia reaffirms its proposal to establish a joint mechanism for investigating cases of ceasefire violations and/or related information between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We reiterate the commitment of the Government of Armenia to the peace agenda within the framework of already reached public agreements,” the statement reads.

It should be noted that yesterday morning, the Azerbaijani side disseminated misinformation alleging that on July 20, at 22:10, units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire toward Azerbaijani positions located in the eastern part of the border zone. The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia has refuted this information.
