YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan has spread fake news claiming to have thwarted alleged fortification attempts by the Defense Army of Nagorno-Karabakh in the Askeran region, the Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Defense said in a statement Friday.

“The statement released by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense claiming that the Defense Army units conducted fortification work in the Askeran region around 09:30 on September 15, which was allegedly thwarted by the actions of the Azerbaijani units, is yet another disinformation,” the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Ministry of Defense said.
