ArmInfo. Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan criticized the Armenian media, accusing them of circulating Azerbaijani propaganda.
Thus, confirming the fact of the wounded Armenian soldier on the front line, he expressed indignation that this fact was connected with the misinformation of Azerbaijan about an attempt to sabotage the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border." Thanks to Armenian's media, the thesis of Azerbaijani propaganda, the dream of sabotage and a wounded soldier are interconnected. It is irresponsibility. At the border they shoot every day and there may be wounded soldiers. I've been repeating for several years that we don't report about wounded soldiers, and you don't need to write about it. Baku was very happy, "Hovhannisyan wrote on his page.
Today, the Armenian media reported that a contract soldier was wounded in the Tavush direction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border on the night of October 2. Meanwhile, as ArmInfo previously reported, the Armenian Ministry of Defense today denied Baku's information about the alleged suppression of Armenian sabotage at the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border. The Armenian Ministry of Defense called this information another misinformation of the Azerbaijani side. "In this case, we are dealing with yet another misinformation of the Azerbaijani side. And the mention in the media exerted by the Azerbaijani media that the border combat posts of Azerbaijan were repeatedly fired from a large-caliber gun from the Armenian Armed Forces is additional evidence of the absurdity of this charge," said Press Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia Artsrun Hovhannisyan. It should be noted that in the Azerbaijani media today there were a lot of headlines about the suppression by the border troops of Azerbaijan of the provocation of the Armenian Armed Forces. Referring to the press center of the State Border Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan, it was reported that allegedly on October 1, 2019, at about 10:00 pm on the state border with Armenia in the direction of the Gazakh region, border guards serving in combat positions discovered and prevented the movement of sabotage groups to the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan from the combat positions of the Armed Forces of Armenia. According to the information, on the same day, the Azerbaijani border combat posts were repeatedly subjected to intensive firing from large-caliber weapons by units of the Armed Forces of Armenia.
