A spokesman for Armenia's Defense Ministry has discarded as
misinformation the reports in Azerbaijan alleging that as many as 11
Armenian servicemen were killed in the most recent ceasefire violations
near Nagorno-Karabakh.
Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote on his Facebook account on Thursday that
the Armenian servicemen presented by Azerbaijan as victims of the
latest clashes in fact died at different times and under different
circumstances over a long period of time.
The Karabakh side said three of its servicemen, including one
lieutenant-colonel, were killed and one soldier was wounded since
early last week. It also reported at least two major raids by Azeri
troops that were successfully repelled by Armenian soldiers, who also
inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
At least two Azeri commandoes were killed and one was wounded in the
latest foiled attack on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Defense Ministry spokesman Hovhannisyan went on to accuse
Azerbaijan of also misleading its own citizens as military officials in
Baku claim that the attacks were launched by Armenians. In particular,
he drew the readers' attention to the photograph of a killed Azeri
captain with a distinguishing task force badge.
"What is more logical - that a task force officer was on combat duty
in the trenches or that he was part of a sabotage group?" Hovhannisyan
wrote.
