The information spread on October 5 that the Azerbaijan Army units allegedly subjected to fire the positions of the Armenian armed forces by the use of mortars and large-caliber weapons is another disinformation of the opposing side, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry told AZERTAC.

“Yesterday, during the evening, the Armenian side from combat positions in the direction of the Istisu settlement of the Basarkechar region using small arms subjected to fire the opposing positions of the Azerbaijan Army.

We declare that the Azerbaijan Army units take retaliatory measures only against provocations committed by the Armenian side.

The responsibility for the next escalation of the situation entirely falls on the Armenian military-political leadership,” the ministry said.
