The Armenian Defence Ministry has flatly denied the report that on the
night of 21 September, Azerbaijanis fired from their positions in
Qazax District [northwestern Azerbaijan] at an Armenian bus on the
Kirants-Voskepar sector of the Idzhevan-Noyemberyan highway [Armenia’s
Tavush District], the press secretary of the Armenian Defence
Ministry, Seyran Shakhsuvaryan, has told an Arminfo correspondent.

The newspapers which put out this report wrote that Gayane Petrosyan,
