failures from public

19 February 2010 [20:11] – Today.Az

"Armenian troops violated ceasefire in various directions and
uninterrupted shooting occurred on Feb. 18, but they try to
misrepresent this fact,’ Spokesman for Azerbaijani Defense Ministry,
Lieutenant-Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu said.

He was commenting on Armenian media reports that the ceasefire was not
violated by Armenia and no loss was recorded on Feb. 18.

`Armenia is accustomed to tell lies. It acts the same way. They hide
their losses. The main reason is that they beware of the people. The
distrust in the army is growing. Therefore, Armenian military
leadership tries to conceal even minor failures on the front line.
They have rarely confessed something so far. Even the local TV
channels, press have been banned from covering the funerals of the
killed soldiers," Sabiroglu said.

"Armenia tries to misrepresent the fact that they violated ceasefire
and uninterrupted shooting occurred on Feb. 18. This is called
Armenian slyness,’ he said.

`The shooting began in the afternoon and lasted till the evening. At
18.00 the losses were equal. Soon after that, the enemy was obliged to
stop firing because of extra losses,’ he said.
