    "Azerbaijani news agencies distort the facts"

    11:51 am | September 11, 2009 | Official


    Armenia's Defence Ministry today issued a statement refuting Azeri
    media allegations about yesterday's skirmish at the contact-line which
    reportedly left five victims.

    "Azerbaijani media reported yesterday about an exchange of fire in
    Agdam district which left five Armenian servicemen killed and three
    injured. Spokesman for the NKR Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant Colonel
    Senor Hasratian refuted the information.

    Later in the day the Azeri side decided to charge the obvious
    misinformation by fake facts and publish a photo of the "killed"
    Armenian serviceman. The article is available in Russian on Vesti.az
    which also published an interview with an Azeri military expert Uzeir
    Jafarov. To the question how they could speak of an exact number of
    victims, if the bodies were not found, the Azeri expert said: "Any
    attack is accompanied by losses, irrespective of the fact whether the
    Armenian side reveals the number of victims or not."

    "Azeri media are again cheating and distorting facts in an effort to
    raise fighting spirit of its army and public simultaneously
    destabilizing the situation. In fact, the photo at Vesti.az is a shot
    of 2008 August war in Georgia with a dead Georgian soldier taken by RF
    Communist Party official website

    (http://kprf.ru/international/59203.html). To make sure it is true,
    you can visit the photo session of the website."
