Azerbaijan again falsely accuses Armenia of ceasefire breach

Azerbaijan again falsely accused Armenian forces of violating the ceasefire last night.

"The statement issued by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, alleging that from the evening of April 6 until 4:30 a.m. on April 7 units of the Armenian armed forces opened fire on Azerbaijani combat positions located in the eastern and southeastern sections of the border, does not correspond to reality," the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Armenian Prime Minister's Office has proposed the establishment of a joint Armenia-Azerbaijan mechanism for investigating ceasefire violations and related reports. However, Azerbaijan has yet to respond to this initiative.

"The Defense Ministry of Armenia reaffirms that, in accordance with the position of the Prime Minister's Office, it stands ready to investigate the facts supporting the statement issued by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, should they be provided to the Republic of Armenia," the ministry stressed.
