"Using the unstable psychological conditions of 12-day army recruits,
who have not even made their oath, by special tools of pressure,
the mission of Azeri special service is to improve the demoralized
reputation of their armed forces within their own society by spreading
invented and fanciful information about the Armenian Armed Forces and
Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army," Defense Ministry press service says.

It is important to remind that on 31 May, at 14:10pm by local time army
recruits of Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army Ohan Harutyunyan and Gevorg
Tovmasyan voluntary deserted their military unit in the direction of
Azerbaijan. Using the current fact, the Azeri mass media reports that
the Armenian recruits have been telling about the rough situation in
the Armenian armed forces and about various unlawfulness.

"Current techniques of Azeri campaign are the evidence to the
fact that Azerbaijan makes attempts to be compared with the
Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces which excels them both in military and
psychological preparedness. It’s a shame that the Azeri armed forces
authorities direct their society and armed forces to self-deception
and venture. The mass publication of recruits’ testimonies violates
Geneva 13th convention and 27th article of fourth convention," the
official source says.
