Artsakh Defense Army dismisses Azerbaijan’s false claims

The Artsakh Defense Army dismissed Baku’s false claims, according to which, on September 18 the Defense Forces had suppressed the GPS positioning system of a civil aircraft flying on the Baku-Tbilisi route through the Artsakh airspace.

The Artsakh Defense Ministry stressed that the statement of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry was an absolute lie, since the aircraft flying on the Baku-Tbilisi route did not need either cross the airspace of Artsakh or even approach it.

“By periodically spreading such false statements, Azerbaijan aims to divert the attention of the international community from the humanitarian disaster caused by the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor and to prepare an information ground for another provocation.

We remind you once again that in 2020, throughout the entire period and after the military operations of 2020, it was the Azerbaijani side that consistently targeted the civilian infrastructure of the Republic of Artsakh, blocking the Lachin corridor, disrupting the supply of gas and electricity and suppressing access to the Internet and communications,” the press service of the Artsakh Defense Ministry said in a statement.
