Azerbaijan continues intense disinformation campaign against Armenia, defense ministry warns

 20:30,

YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry continues to disseminate disinformation, the Armenian Defense Ministry warned Wednesday evening.

“The statement disseminated by the MoD of Azerbaijan that allegedly on August 16, at around 6:20 p.m., units of the Armenian Armed Forces discharged fire against the Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern part of the border, does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Azerbaijan released three different fake news reports on August 16: twice falsely accusing Armenia of opening fire on the border and falsely accusing Armenia of an attempted raid. All accusations were denied by the Armenian authorities and described as disinformation.

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
