There are casualties among the personnel, damage to the military infrastructure has been caused. “The information disseminated by Armenia about the alleged shelling of the civilian population, facilities and infrastructure by the Azerbaijani army does not correspond to reality.
The information disseminated by the Armenian side that the Azerbaijani Army is allegedly targeting the civilian population, civilian facilities and infrastructure is not true. This is another misinformation of the Armenian side”, another post by Defense Ministry.
What's going on at the border?
Political observer Elhan Shahinoglu talks about this in the program "Difficult Question".
From the very beginning it was clear that the daily shelling of the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the direction of the Lachin, Kalbajar, Gadabay and Tovuz regions, which began on September 2, would cause a clash, Shahinoglu said.
“After the meetings of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Brussels, daily shooting was observed These firing points had to be suppressed sooner or later, and it happened,” the expert stated.
According to Shahinoglu, until a peace agreement is signed between Azerbaijan and Armenia, until communications are opened, the border is not delimited, tension will persist.
“So far, there has been no progress on any of these issues,” he said, adding that due to the aggravation of the situation, France is convening a meeting of the UN Security Council.
“An information war is ongoing against Azerbaijan, and it looks like it will again need the support of another member of the UN Security Council, Great Britain. Obviously, Azerbaijan should increase its diplomatic activity,” the political scientist believes.--0---
