fromfalsifications during the [19 February] presidential election in
Armenia, and this yielded no results.
"One of the aims of the large-scale violation of the cease-fire was
an attempt to put the blame for thedevelopments on Azerbaijan.

is informed about the tricks of the Armenian side. Their two-faced
mask has been torn off, and the whole world knows that Armenia is
anoccupier," he said.

casualties, Armenia is currently disseminatingbiased information. He
said this was not happening for the first time.
