ArmInfo.Defense departments of Armenia and Artsakh refute the disinformation spread by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

Thus, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia noted: "The Ministry of  Defence of Azerbaijan spread a disinformation claiming that units of  the Armenian Armed Forces allegedly opened fire towards the  Azerbaijani combat positions located in the Eastern part of the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border zone on March 15 from 12:10 a.m. to 2:30  a.m."

In its turn, press service of the Artsakh Defense Army stated:  "Yesterday, on March 13, the Azerbaijani media spread another  disinformation that servicemen and weapons were transported from  Armenia to Artsakh accompanied by servicemen of the Russian  peacekeeping troops, attaching a video of a small convoy of vehicles.   In fact, in the video published by the Azerbaijani side, there are  not military vehicles, but vehicles belonging to the State Emergency  Service. The employees of the State Emergency Service, accompanied by  Russian peacekeepers, escorted the civilians of the Artsakh Republic  to the village of Hin Shen of the Shushi region.  Considering the  mountainous and extremely heavy-going nature of the road, the rescue  workers of Artsakh had to organize the transportation of citizens by  Russian-made UAZ mini-buses.  The Russian peacekeepers have performed  their duties to ensure the safety of civilians, especially in the  face of additional threats posed after the March 5 sabotage attack."
