Artsakh has dismissed Azeri reports claiming that the Armenian side tried to down a helicopter carrying the country’s Defense Minister.
“This unserious misinformation that has nothing to do with reality aims to solve two issues – justify the attack on Defense Ministry’s military objects and improve Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov’s image among the public, to show the “dangerous” conditions Hasanov works in,” Senor Hasratyan, Spokesman for the Artsakh Defense Ministry, said in a Facebook post.
“There is no need to down the helicopter carrying the Defense Minister, at least for now,” Hasratyan said.
