/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The village of Talish of Mardakert region of
NKR is a historical Armenian settlement and it’s absurd to suppose
that Armenians demolish and set fire to their homes, head of the
department of information and propaganda at the NKR Defense Ministry,
lieutenant colonel Senor Asratyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter when
commenting on the reports of Azeri Press new agency which said that
"no single construction was left in the village Talish after the
fires set by Armenians."

In his words, the village was reconstructed upon completion of
hostilities and now its residents cultivate agricultural products.

Senor Asratyan underscored that such propagandistic statements by
the Azeri side are primitive and meant for ignorant people. He also
remarked that these statements cast a shadow on the OSCE Monitoring
Mission, which contributes to the maintenance of the ceasefire. "As for
the fires, people all over the world know that the inflammation of dry
grass is quite possible over heat and lack of precipitation," he said.
