The information spread by certain Armenian users on social networks about the shelling of a convoy of the Russian peacekeeping contingent evacuating Armenians of Khankendi by Azerbaijani Army is completely false and disinformative, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan said.
“We categorically reject such unfounded allegations,” the ministry stressed.
Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense also refuted disinformation spread by Armenia on social networks about the alleged use of attack UAVs by Azerbaijani Army and about the alleged shelling of an ambulance.
Anti-terrorist operation in Karabakh
The local anti-terrorist activities of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan have been launched to restore the constitutional order in the entire territory of the Karabakh Economic Region. The civilian population and civilian infrastructure are not targets, only legitimate military targets of the Armenian Armed Forces are taken out of action.
The anti-terrorist operation will make it possible to ensure the rovisions of the Trilateral Statement signed on 9-10 November 2020, supress military provocations, sabotage and terrorist attacks in the Karabakh Economic Region, secure the withdrawal of formations of Armenia’s armed forces from Azerbaijan, and thereby provide the safety of the civilian population and restoration work in the region.
