Azerbaijan tries to put the blame for its soldiers’ deaths on Armenia

Baku is constantly accusing Armenia of violations of the ceasefire to screen the murders and suicides in the Azeri army.

“The Azeri propaganda machine is spreading lies because of frequent casualties and harassment among servicemen leading to the death of soldiers, who are later on reported to be killed at the frontline,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said.

The Ministry stated that Armenian servicemen observe the ceasefire and resort to retaliatory measures to stop the fire commenced from the opposite side of the contact line. “The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia reiterates that Armenian armed forces are up in arms to rebuff any attack,” it said.
