Azerbaijani media disseminates a statement issued by the Ministry of
Defense of Azerbaijan dated on 10 August, which reads that allegedly
"Armenia under the supervision of the International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) uses the humanitarian activities to achieve a
military advantage on the Azerbaijani-Armenian borderline" near the
Armenian village of Movses.
In this regard the reporter of Panorama.am asked for a comment to the
press secretary of the Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun Hovhannisyan.
"Such behavior is not characteristic to Armenian side but it's rather
characteristic to the Azerbaijani side, which can allow itself to open
fire targeting ICRC car," stated Artsrun Hovhannisyan.
Press secretary of the Defense Ministry of Armenia refuted the
statement of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, noting that there is
nothing of the kind, and that the Armenian side will never allow
itself to endanger the lives of civilians.
"No measures have been undertaken to get more favorable combat
positions in the vicinity of the village Movses, and those who are
well familiar with the terrain, such a statement can seem ridiculous,"
stated the spokesman of the Defense Ministry of Armenia.
The Armenian delegation of the International Committee of the Red
Cross, was forced to stop the initiative of supporting the residents
of the villages in Tavush region of Armenia during the harvest season,
because of the fire opened on July 26 of this year. According to the
local residents, the fire was opened from the Azerbaijani positions.
Later on the Armenian delegation of the International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) issued a statement in which expressed regret that it
had to stop supporting the residents of the villages in Tavush region
of Armenia during the harvest season, due to ceasefire violations on
July 26.
