YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry continues to disseminate disinformation, the Armenian Defense Ministry warned Wednesday evening.

“The statement disseminated by the MoD of Azerbaijan that allegedly on August 16, at around 6:20 p.m., units of the Armenian Armed Forces discharged fire against the Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern part of the border, does not correspond to reality,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Azerbaijan released three different fake news reports on August 16: twice falsely accusing Armenia of opening fire on the border and falsely accusing Armenia of an attempted raid. All accusations were denied by the Armenian authorities and described as disinformation.
