Armenia tries to conceal its failures at front: Defense Ministry

By Nazrin Gadimova

Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said that by spreading false information, Armenia tries to conceal its failures at the front, as well as numerous losses of the recent days.

“The strategic environment is completely controlled by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan,” the ministry stated on March 9.

Earlier, the Armenian media reports urged that Azerbaijani military forces conducted an intelligence and subversive operation on the contact line of troops. Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry refuted the announcements, saying they do not reflect the real situation on the front line.

For more than two decades Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under occupation over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.

Despite a fragile ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenia keeps violating armistice with Azerbaijan. The ministry reports the country shattered ceasefire by almost 125 times throughout the last day.

Thus, Armenian military stationed in Paravakar village and on nameless heights in Armenia’s Ijevan district opened fire at the Azerbaijani army positions in Kohnegishlag village of the Aghstafa district and the nameless heights in the Gazakh district of Azerbaijan.

Armenians also fired from their positions in Mosesgeh village of the Berd district upon the Azerbaijani positions in Alibayli village of Tovuz district. Moreover, Armenians stationed on nameless heights in Armenia’s Krasnoselsk district fired at Azerbaijani army's positions, located on nameless heights in Azerbaijan’s Gadabay district.
