Baku, Azerbaijan, April 9

Trend:

Armenia’s provocations will be decisively suppressed, and the enemy will get hard and devastating retaliation, the press service of Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said in a statement April 9.

In recent days, the Armenian mass media, referring to the official structures of the country, have been disseminating provocative information trying to mislead the public, according to the statement.

On April 8-9, Armenian mass media disseminated information that the units of the Azerbaijani army subjected to fire Armenia’s territory on the Nakhchivan, Gazakh and Tovuz directions of the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, the statement said.

The units of the Azerbaijani army fully observe the ceasefire regime along the state border with Armenia, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry noted.

The information spread out by the Armenian side is untrue and paves the way for subsequent provocations, and possibly, such information will be further spread out, the statement said.

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 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
