Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry dismisses reports on invasion of Armenian territory as nonsense

The reports in the Armenian media and the segment of social networks about Azerbaijan's invasion of Armenian territory is nothing more than nonsense, Report informs referring to the Ministry of Defense.

"The Republic of Armenia is the aggressor and occupier state in the region. The presence of personnel and equipment of the Armenian armed forces in the Karabakh economic zone of Azerbaijan continues to this day.

In response to the Armenian provocation, Azerbaijan is implementing local countermeasures and neutralizing the enemy's firing points," the ministry said.

"The ongoing policy of military adventurism and revanchism on the part of Armenia, the intensive shelling of the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the Kalbajar, Lachin, Dashkasan and Gadabay directions over the past month and the large-scale provocations committed today are the main reasons for the escalation of the situation. Therefore, the responsibility lies with the military-political leadership of Armenia" , said the Ministry of Defense.
