(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Vugar Khalilov
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has dismissed Armenia's alleged
ceasefire breach allegations, Azernews reports, citing the
ministry.
The information spread by Armenia on October 16 about the
alleged firing of positions of its armed forces by the Azerbaijani
army units does not reflect the truth and is completely false, the
ministry underlined.
'We categorically refute the distributed information,' the
ministry stressed.
Armenia periodically shells Azerbaijani military positions on
liberated territories. Since early September, Azerbaijani positions
have multiple times come under Armenian fire.
The major border clashes since the 44-day war (2020) erupted
between the sides on the night of September 12 leading to 13, when
units of the Armenian armed forces carried out large-scale
provocations along the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border in
Dashkasan, Kalbajar, and Lachin directions.
Following the October 6 meeting in Prague between Azerbaijani
and Armenian leaders under the auspices of EU Council President
Charles Michel and French President Emmanuel Macron, all parties
reaffirmed their commitment to the peace negotiations while
recognizing each other's territorial integrity.
President Ilham Aliyev praised the EU's efforts in the peace
talks during an interview with Azerbaijani TV channels, emphasizing
that Azerbaijan and Armenia are gradually reaching peace.
Aliyev added that the peace talks are still ongoing and should
not be disrupted.
