The Azerbaijani armed forces are entitled to use any military
equipment, including the unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters,
aircraft, space satellites on the contact line, the Defense Ministry
said on January 12.
The Ministry commented on the recent Armenian media's reports on the
flight of Azerbaijani drones over the contact line of the Azerbaijani
and Armenian troops.
"The planes and other aircraft of the Azerbaijani armed forces make
regular flights over the line of contact and this is not something new
for Armenia, occupant of Azerbaijani territories," the ministry said.
The Ministry added that Azerbaijan does not need any permission
from the aggressive Armenia or puppet regime in the separatist
Nagorno-Karabakh region to use any kind of equipment in Azerbaijan's
lands.
"The Azerbaijani armed forces use and will use all available military
equipment to control the actions of the occupiers," the ministry said.
The Armenian Defense Ministry has once again spread illogical
misinformation about the situation on the frontline on January 11-12,
the Defense Ministry noted.
"This information is part of Armenia's next attempt to blame the
opposite side for its failures," the ministry said.
"Armenia lies to its people and world community by spreading
misinformation. The Armenian Defense Ministry conducts a proxy
war against Azerbaijani "saboteurs". Then it allegedly creates some
conditions to take "corpses remaining in the neutral zone" on the basis
of "compliance with international humanitarian law". It is now trying
to accuse the Azerbaijani side of the death of an Armenian shepherd,"
the Ministry added.
The Defense Ministry once more said the country's armed forces are
in full control of the situation on the contact line and has suffered
no losses.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
