Baku – APA. Some Armenian e-media reported that an outpost of the Azerbaijani armed forces was destroyed by the Armenian military and the Azerbaijani side suffered heavy losses. This information is wrong and baseless, said the statement of Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry dated Sept.25.

“Undoubtedly, such information disseminated by the criminal regime in Armenia which has been subjected to political and military collapse seeks to justify to the Armenian people the military failure and heavy losses on the frontline and cover up the crimes committed by the Armenian troops against Azerbaijani civilians in border villages,” said the statement.

The Azerbaijani armed forces, stationed in favorable conditions along the border with Armenia, are capable of destroying any military targets of the enemy and maintaining control over the settlements located at the bottom of the contact line of troops as well as communications lines, the ministry noted.

“The Armenian government, particularly the civil population should know that Azerbaijani soldiers were ordered not to open fire only at civilians. In other cases, any Armenian military targets in motion will be destroyed by Azerbaijani soldiers without waiting for an order of command,” said the statement.

For this reason, for any deployment of military equipment in residential areas and the damage inflicted on the civilian population, the responsibility falls on the Armenian authorities, deliberately using its citizens as hostages. The criminal military-political regime in Armenia bears full responsibility for the escalation of the tension on the state border and the damage inflicted on its civilian population, the ministry stressed.
