Yerevan denied the claim of Baku media

The Ministry of Defense of Armenia denied the news published by the Baku media about the gathering of Armenian forces on the border of the two countries and said that the usual change of deployed units has been done.

According to the report of Ria Novosti, it was stated in a post on the Baku site Axar.az yesterday: Armenian army movements have been observed on the border of (the Republic of) Azerbaijan and Armenia. The Armenian side is gathering its forces on the border in the direction of Zangzor (southwest of Armenia).

On the other hand, the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia states: The propaganda machine of the Republic of Azerbaijan, by publishing false information yesterday, tried to present the usual change in the units of the Armenian armed forces as an alleged gathering at the front line.

According to this statement, on the night of April 5th and 6th, the units of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan fired at the positions of the armed forces of Armenia in a number of axes in the border area with different intensities from light weapons of different calibers.

In the statement of Armenia, it is emphasized that last night the shooting by the Baku forces took place without a target.

With this, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia added: It is clear that these actions of the Baku side had a provocative purpose, and that is to push the Armenian army to return fire to continue its false media news, but the Armenian army did not do this.

Relative peace prevailed for some time on the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, and no case of ceasefire violation was recorded. The two sides worked on organizing the final draft of the peace treaty, but in February, Baku and Yerevan again accused each other of bombing.
