The Azerbaijani side heightens tension in the line of contact spreading
misinformation about the death of an Azerbaijani soldier last week,
NKR defense ministry's press service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to the report of NKR Defense Army situation in the line
of contact was unstable within recent days. In this regard the NKR
Defense Ministry issued a statement.
"During this period aggressive actions of the Azerbaijani units were
characterized not only by intensity of fire damage, but also variety
of used weapons. In this context attempts of Azerbaijan's official and
unofficial propaganda machine to condition tension in the frontline
by aggressive actions of Defense Amy are ridiculous.
The recent example of misinformation spread by Azerbaijani Defense
Ministry is a report issued on March 23 which says that two Azerbaijani
soldiers were killed as a result of alleged ceasefire violation by
the Armenian side. This is a regular misinformation presented by the
Azerbaijani side. After a trilateral meeting in Sochi (between the
Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia) and prior to it, the
armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh continue fulfilling arrangements on
strengthening confidence-building measures between the conflicting
parties," said Senor Hasratyan, head of information department,
NKR Defense Army.
"By force of habit Azerbaijan is trying to attribute to the Karabakh
side any fatal incident in their armed forces caused by interpersonal
relations, including cases of March 21 and 23. Doing so Azerbaijan
is pursuing two goals: firstly to hide real situation in demoralized
army from local citizens, and secondly - to present Defense Army as
an aggressive side.
If Baku is really concerned over fate of its guards and rushes to
present any fatality as a result of violations of ceasefire, then why
the Azerbaijani side not only refuses to implement proposals of the
relevant international agencies on withdrawal of snipers from the
contact line, but, moreover, periodically violates arrangements on
conduction of the OSCE monitoring.
It is clear that the Armenian side, unlike Azerbaijan, not only
expresses readiness to implement the arrangements as a gesture of
goodwill, but even today continues to refrain from any attempts
to aggravate tension. We must conclude that tension in the line of
contact between the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh
is a result of non-constructive policy periodically and consistently
carried out by Azerbaijan. This fact first of all should arouse
concern of Azerbaijani society," the statement reads.
