In response to the claims of Arman Tatoyan, head of the “Wings of Unity” political initiative, about Azerbaijani advances, the RA Ministry of Defense disclaimer was distributed, in which, in particular, it is mentioned.

“The connection of Google Earth space photos with reality has deviations, and the above boundary line has no legal basis. The RA Armed Forces General Directorate is guided by topographical maps of the USSR of 1975, which have legal force and were approved by the head of the Transcaucasus territorial inspection of the State Geodetic Control.

In addition to this, the Ministry of Defense announced through the spokesperson.

“Azerbaijan’s position does not cross the state border and is located in the territory of the Republic of Armenia.  There are concerns that the said location may pose a threat to the Sotk mine, Kut settlement and surrounding areas. It should be noted that the distance from the mentioned location to the Sotk mine is about 4 km, and the distance to the Kut settlement is 6.4 km. Furthermore, visibility is not possible between the settlement of Kut and the indicated position because of the presence of Mount Katar.

Arman Tatoyan, head of the “Wings of Unity” political initiative, which submitted an application for participation in the NA elections, today, March 25, at the meeting with journalists, during which he presented their security plan, also referred to the denial of the Ministry of Defense.

“After the press conference, we sent a letter to the person holding the position of the Minister of Defense with the coordinates that we received through satellite photos. We did a study that lasted several months, as a result of which, with the help of Chinese and French satellites, through their photos, we discovered that there were both invasions and strengthening of positions in the territory of Armenia starting from July 2025.

Here, the Ministry of Defense clearly lied and manipulated the issue, focusing it entirely on one position. In fact, they lied there too, because according to our calculations, we have up to 3000 square meters of encroachment there, which is equal to about 9 hectares.

We gave them precise coordinates, both from Chinese and French satellites. And it is based on the results of these satellites that the Google map is formed. They started to manipulate with their lies that we took it from Google map, it is not so, we took it from satellites, based on which the Google map is also formed,” explained Arman Tatoyan, emphasizing that they are speaking with facts, and the statements of the RA Ministry of Defense and Nikol Pashinyan that their facts are lies clearly helped Azerbaijan.

“You are the minister of defense of the country, or the prime minister of the country, how can you say that such things are lies when satellite photos prove it? This means that you clean up Azerbaijan, you clean up Azerbaijan in front of the eyes of other countries and you don’t allow their invasions to be seen,” said Arman Tatoyan.
