STEPANAKERT. – Azerbaijani reports saying that Azerbaijani captain was killed in alleged ceasefire violation by Karabakh are untrue, says the statement issued by Defense Ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh.
“The units of NKR Defense Army respect ceasefire regime and take retaliatory actions exclusively in case of necessity,” says the statement.
“As to the mentioned loss of Azerbaijani army, the situation in neighboring, but nor friendly state, most likely should be considered as not a result of ceasefire violation but in the context of a attempt to infiltrate into Nagorno-Karabakh on the night of January 20,” the statements reads.
The press service of Defense Ministry noted that according to Azerbaijani media, the defense ministry of Azerbaijan registered two fatalities and six injuries on January 20-23.
“The conclusion is Azerbaijani propaganda machine is trying to “delicately” hint at something they had to admit openly.”
