The head of the press service of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan
has recently come up with a number of announcements, where he
has disseminated the recurrent lie about the RA population, the AF
recruitment and about frontier incidents. The information, that Armenia
has lack of human resource and is unable to raise certain sub-units,
is very far from being true. In this regard the RA Ministry of Defence
announces – the autumn roll-call advances according to the schedule
and about 70% of the troop recruitment has already been realized.

As for the frontier incidents, it is worth mentioning, that the
announcement of the head of the press service of the Ministry of
Defence of Azerbaijan E. Sabiroghli, that the Armenian side has had
twice more losses than the Azerbaijani side, is also a misinformation:
during the last three months two Armenian soldiers were wounded,
because the Azerbaijani side broke the ceasefire. It is more than
obscure that the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan should come to
such a conclusion, while it has never announced the number of victims
and the wounded both from Armenian and from Azerbaijani side. In
this regard the Azerbaijani media themselves have expressed their
doubt. It is noteworthy, that this "sabiroghlian" self-deception has
been disseminated only in Russian, thus it bears a propagandistic
nature and is mostly intended for its compatriots. It is also worth
reminding, that the information disseminated by the press service
of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan is the imitation of the
"guideline" ideas from the speech of the president of Azerbaijan Aliev,
made on the 17th of November, 2009.

Once again we underline that the RA and NKR Armed Forces have high
battle readiness and the necessary armaments for giving appropriate
counterblow to any encroachment.
