The Artsakh Defense Ministry has dismissed Azeri claims of having hit Armenian headquarters in Martuni.
The Azerbaijani said it had hit several positions, which were being used as headquarters by Armenian soldiers in Martuni region.
A statement released by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said that Azerbaijani forces responded to an “intrusion attempt by Artsakh Forces.”
The NKR Defense Ministry described the statement as “fabrication” that has nothing to do with reality.
The Ministry stated “the Artsakh forces never attack first, but are ready to respond to any provocation with a crushing blow.”
