YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan has generated more fake news targeting the Armenian military, this time falsely accusing it of opening fire in the south-western part of the border.

In a statement, the Armenian Ministry of Defense described the Azeri accusations as “the usual kind of disinformation.”

"The [Ministry of Defense] of Azerbaijan has come up with the usual kind of disinformation. The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan as if on September 4, at around 9:50 a.m., the units of the Armenian Armed Forces discharged fire against the Azerbaijani combat outposts located in the southwestern part of the frontier zone, does not correspond to reality,” reads a statement issued by the Armenian Ministry of Defense on Facebook. 

The Azeri authorities had again falsely accused the Armenian military of opening fire earlier on Monday as well.
