Artsakh Ministry of Defense: Azerbaijan has fire points in its settlements (video)
Artsakh's Ministry of Defense says Azerbaijani forces violated the ceasefire regime on July 7, firing shots from various caliber weapons, as well as D-44 cannons and anti-tank grenade launchers in the southern direction of the frontline. "Azerbaijani official propaganda continues to adhere to its policy of lie and disinformation. Another such manifestation took place on July 6 when the Azerbaijani Ministries of Defense, Foreign Affairs and the Office of Prosecutor General organized a visit of military attaches accredited in that country and foreign media representatives to Alkhanlu village where they were allegedly provided with “irrefutable” evidence about absence of Azerbaijani fire points and military headquarters in the settlement. We want to remind you that Azerbaijan’s strategy to mislead the international community, in particular, the foreign military attaches accredited there is not a new phenomenon. After the military operations of April 2016 their visit to Jojuk Marjanli settlement was organized where they were introduced to the achievements of Azerbaijani “glorious” army as a result of which that settlement had been “liberated”. Meanwhile, Jojuk Marjanli was under the control of the Azerbaijani armed force since January, 1994. We reiterate that the Defense Army of the Republic of Artsakh has never targeted civilians and objects. But when the adversary, using its own people as a human shield, shells Artsakh posts from fire points located near its civilian settlements, as always these fire points will be silenced. Committed to our strategy to speak with facts, we present to you a video which clearly shows the cannon deployed in the area adjacent to Alkhanlu village. Rational people can draw conclusions after watching the video. At the end we want to add that on July 7, starting from 09:00, the Azerbaijani forces violated the ceasefire regime from various caliber weapons, including D-44 cannons and anti-tank grenade launchers across the southern direction of the frontline. The units of the Artsakh Defense Army continue to control the situation along the Line of Contact," the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
