The defence ministry of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic has flatly
denied Azerbaijani media reports that all facilities located on the
contact line between the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Karabakh were
set on fire on the night of 12 July.

The Azerbaijani side insists that all villages in the foothill area
of Agdam and Agdam airport were set on fire as well.

The Karabakh defence ministry recalled that the monitoring held by the
OSCE factfinding mission on the contact line between the armed forces
of Azerbaijan and Karabakh, as well as the latest three monitoring
missions held at the request of Karabakh proved that all allegations
of Baku propaganda are groundless.
