Yerevan, 5 September: The defence ministry of the Nagornyy Karabakh
republic [NKR] has refuted Azerbaijani media reports about cease-fire
violation.
Lt-Col Senor Hasratyan, the head of the NKR defence ministry
press service, told Arminfo that Azerbaijani media reports about a
cease-fire violation by the Karabakh side was a lie. "On the contrary,
it is Azerbaijan that periodically opens fire from assault weapons,
and does it so constantly that fires from the Azerbaijani side have
become a usual thing," Hasratyan said.
