Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s statement on “unilateral ceasefire” is misinformation, the NKR Defense Ministry says.

The Azerbaijani side launched large-scale military actions against Nagorno Karabakh on April 1 and 2, using all possible types of military equipment in its arsenal, the Ministry said in a statement.

According to the report, the Azerbaijani side shelled the Armenian settlements, namely the city of Martakert, from MM-21 volley fire rocket installations and 152 mm cannons after issuing the statement.

“The above-mentioned facts, as well as the use of the terms “counterattacking actions” and “reinforcement of the liberated territories” demonstrate the false nature of the document, which aims to create an imitation of ceasefire.”

“The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army is ready to meet to discuss the proposal to enact a ceasefire within the context of restoring the original positions of the sides,” the statement reads.
