Baku: The Armenian Ministry of Defense is allegedly attempting to shape a misleading perception within the international community and lay the groundwork for future provocations. This accusation follows claims by Armenia regarding Azerbaijan Army units firing towards the Khanazakh settlement, resulting in damage to a residential building, as reported by the Ministry of Defense in a statement.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense refutes these claims, asserting that their army units do not target civilians or civilian infrastructure. The statement aims to counter the Armenian narrative by emphasizing Azerbaijan’s commitment to avoiding civilian harm.

The recent incident involved Armenian armed forces, purportedly using small arms from positions in the Chambarak region, firing upon Azerbaijan Army positions on May 10 at 09:55. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense’s statement appears to position this event as part of a broader pattern of alleged misinformation and provocation by Armenia.
