Statement of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia

13 September, 2022 21:00
As of 21:00 on September 13, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border remains tense. Nonetheless, the intensity of the shelling of Armenian positions, settlements and civilian infrastructures, as well as the fire intensity of the positional battles in the direction of Nerkin Hand, Verin Shorzha, Artanish and Sotk, has significantly weakened.
The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia continue to fully carry out the combat tasks assigned, demonstrating the necessary resistance to the enemy.
The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, continuing its style of outright falsification, trying to justify the large-scale aggression against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, issued a statement that the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia allegedly violated the agreement to establish a cease-fire today, starting at 09:00, by shelling the Azerbaijani positions.
This statement of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan is an absolute nonsense, because since midnight, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have not stopped shelling Armenian positions, settlements and civilian infrastructures for a single minute.
This lie once again proves that Azerbaijan's military-political leadership deeply disregards the opinion of the international community, spreading lies about Armenia's allegedly aggressive actions.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia declares that it exclusively responded to the large-scale aggression unleashed by official Baku.
