"Rumors spread by the media on the penetration of subversive groups
in the territory of Armenia do not correspond to reality," spokesman
for the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote
on his Facebook page.
"The fact is that some of the units of Armenian Armed Forces conducted
exercises. However, let us note that once again we face how the media
spreads disinformation purely on its interests, in the course of
which it may also promulgate a state secret, thus helping the enemy
in a combat situation and the information space to gain an advantage
over us.
We have repeatedly urged to refrain from spreading such misinformation,
to clarify information before spreading it, to avoid supporting
the enemy intentionally or negligently. Information about military
operations or exercises contain some secrets the disclosure of which
could seriously hamper the success of the action, even endangering
the lives of people," the statement said.
