Baku. Mahbuba Gasimbayli-APA. "Armenian President Robert Kocharian has
started spreading misinformation in order to clam down the situation
inside the country in connection with the recent developments on the
frontline," Spokesman for Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-General Eldar
Sabiroghlu told APA.
Taking a stance on Robert Kocharian’s statement at the press conference
that only two Armenians were wounded Eldar Sabiroghlu underlined that
it was a lie.
"One fact is enough to prove it. When Robert Kocharian held a press
conference two days before, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan
made a statement that a number of people were wounded during the
shooting and asked the international organizations to be helpful in
stopping the shooting. A day later, Armenia’s military leadership
asked Azerbaijani Defense Ministry to stop exchange of fire. Which
of them tells the truth? Conclude it yourselves," he said.
The Ministry’s Spokesman said that Armenian leadership tried to
disguise the fact that 12 Armenians had been killed and 15 wounded.
"There is also another intention. Azerbaijani army has upset the
myth that Armenian army is too strong. This is the main essence of
the misinformation spread by Armenian leadership.
