Yerevan, 20 March: In an interview with an Arminfo correspondent the
press service of the Defence Ministry of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic
[NKR] has dismissed as not true and open disinformation the Azerbaijani
reports that Karabakh's armed units fired on Azerbaijani positions in
Agdam, Mardakert and other areas in the period between 14 and 19 March.
The press service noted that the Azerbaijani side has, itself, been
periodically violating the cease-fire regime, using small arms,
including large-calibre machine-guns. "The NKR defence army has
rigorously been observing the cease-fire regime," the NKR Defence
Ministry press service stressed.
We should note that the Azerbaijani media reported that the Karabakh
side had violated the cease-fire regime on 18 and 19 March as a result
of which two Azerbaijani servicemen were allegedly killed.
However, no names were given by the media. There is no official
confirmation from the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry either.
[Azerbaijani ANS TV said on 19 March that soldiers Huseyn Bandaliyev
and Elcin Bayramov, 19, were killed by Armenian fire]
