YEREVAN, JUNE 14, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan’s intensified disinformation campaign seeks to misrepresent the reality and falsely accuse Armenia of aggression, Minister of Defense Suren Papikyan has warned.
“By constantly spreading disinformation over the past week, Azerbaijan is creating the foundation to be able to misrepresent its own provocations as attacks by the Armenian side,” Papikyan told lawmakers during question time in parliament.
Minister Papikyan said the Ministry of Defense of Armenia is constantly releasing reports on the border situation.
“The reasons of this all is Azerbaijan’s goal to accuse the Armenian side of seeking aggressive actions. There is no such thing, in line with all our statements, the Armenian side will continue to advance the peace agenda around the negotiation table, certainly also by defending the sovereign territory of our country,” Papikyan said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Azerbaijani forces shot and wounded two Indian construction workers at a construction site of a steel plant in Yeraskh, a village in the Ararat Province.
