Azerbaijani, Private soldier Farid Agayev Rufat oglu was killed at
the front line, reports the press service of the Ministry of Defense
of Azerbaijan. The report is posted on the official website of the
Ministry. As it is noted in the report, the soldier of the Azerbaijani
Armed Forces died on February 5 as a result of severe wounds received
during the shootout. Azerbaijani Defense Ministry did not specify
where exactly the soldiers died.
At the same time, the Azerbaijani side decided to extend another
disinformation about the losses of the Armenian side. Thus, the
Azerbaijani news agency "APA", referring to "the Armenian media,"
reports that allegedly last night two soldiers of the Armed Forces
of Armenia were killed, at the same time it claims that the name
of the second soldier is not reported. However, the press service
of Artsakh Defense Army has officially confirmed the death of one
of the soldiers on the line of duty - Shakespeare Hakobyan (born in
1990). There are no reports of the second unconfirmed combat losses
from the Armenian side in the Armenian media.
In order to clarify the situation Panorama.am turned to the press
secretary of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan. "No
wonder, another disinformation extended by Azerbaijan. The Armenian
side has given one combat loss which the official website of the NKR
Defense Army had published. We are not tended to hide information
about our losses from our society," Artsrun Hovhannisyan said.
According to Azerbaijani media, at night the Armenian troops
had allegedly "opened fire at direction of the residents of the
Azerbaijani border-close village of Alibeyli at Tovuz region, as
a result of which 32-year-old resident of the village was injured,
and one of the houses was sat on fire."
Responding to Panorama.am request on this issue, the spokesman for
the Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun Hovhannisyan noted that the
Armenian army has never been at war with the civilians and is not
at war today as well. "The Armenian side reported that the frontier
units of the NKR had to resort to a proportionate responsive action
with the Azerbaijani Armed Forces just yesterday, as the Azerbaijani
armed forces intensively violate the ceasefire, because of which our
soldiers was killed. However, we do not shoot on Azerbaijani villages.
Azerbaijani side is disinforming the public," said Artsrun
Hovhannisyan.
According to the Armenian media, last night, as a result of intensive
fire from the Azerbaijani inhabitant of Armenian border-close
village Nerkin Karmiraghbyur of Tavush region Vanik Ghoukassian who
is 60-year-old was killed. According to the mayor of the Armenian
border-close village of Movses Ararat Avalyan, the Azerbaijani units
fired at the village, damaged the pipeline, church and 7 houses.
According to the press secretary of the Armenian Defense Ministry
the day before the Azerbaijani units had opened heavy fire mainly
from large-caliber weapons, on their own villages which have border
with Armenia in Tavush region; it was aimed at further accusing the
Armenian side.
Since the beginning of 2015 the state structures of Azerbaijan have
acknowledged the death-facts of 6 soldiers: According to official
figures 5 of them died in combat conditions on the front lines.
Although the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry claims that the career
soldier Babashov Nizami Shamil oglu died as a result of careless
handling of a gun, from funeral photos it becomes clear that the
funeral ceremony was accompanied by honor guard, honorary salvo
in presence of high-ranking militants. It's very strange when you
consider the fact that they were burying a soldier who died as a
result of careless handling of a weapon. Moreover, the Azerbaijani
news website "Qafqazinfo.az", which was the first to report about the
death of the soldier, became unavailable shortly after the publication
of the photos of Babashov. According to the chief editor of Elbrus
Scrabble the website has undergone a powerful cyberattack.
