Azerbaijan’s disinformation campaign seeks to misrepresent own provocations as Armenian aggression, warns minister

 16:55, 14 June 2023

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. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
