Military denies ordering high-ranking personnel to disengage

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Ministry of Defense is denying as fake news the newspaper report claiming that during the November 16 Azerbaijani attack the Armenian military had ordered officers above the rank of Major to disengage from the combat zone.

“A media outlet report claimed that “During the latest military operations in Syunik officers above the rank of Major were not allowed to man positions in active combat zones”. This report has nothing to do with reality. We once again strongly call to refrain from spreading fake news,” the Ministry of Defense said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
