Armenian MoD reacts to statements on Azerbaijani border trespassing

The Armenian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has treated the Azerbaijan's statement about "violation of the border" by Armenian militaries as unjustified, and blamed Baku for spreading disinformation.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Azerbaijani MoD had stated that "on June 1, about 40 Armenian soldiers entered the Azerbaijani territory, after which the Azerbaijani Armed Forces forced them to their initial position."

In response, the Armenian MoD has stated that Azerbaijan "is trying to create an impression among the international community about the attempts of the Armenian Armed Forces to aggravate the situation on the border, as well as a counterbalance to the invasion of Azerbaijani militaries into the Armenia territory on May 12."

Armenian servicemen didn't cross the border either on June 1 or earlier, the Armenian MoD has noted.

Taron Ovannisyan, an expert of the "Orbeli" Analytical Centre, presented maps on his Facebook of the border areas indicating the locations. He has noted that "Azerbaijan had made false accusations and published false coordinates."
