Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry has rejected Armenian media reports alleging that seven Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in an armed incident on the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border on Dec. 29.
The leadership of Armenian army, in order to justify a failed diversion on the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border, disseminated information about the death of seven Azerbaijani servicemen, the Defense Ministry told AzVision.az.
“This information is false and baseless. Armenian essence once again proved itself,” the ministry said, confirming again that an Azerbaijani soldier is missing as a result of the shootout.
“Some local media reports suggesting that a private house in Ahmadaghali village of Aghdam district was shelled by Armenian armed forces have not yet been confirmed,” the defense ministry added.
A reconnaissance group of the Armenian Armed Forces tried to violate the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border on Dec. 29 morning. The Armenian group found itself in the ambush of the Azerbaijani army while violating the borders. The enemy suffered losses in the ensuing clash and had to retreat.
A soldier of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, Gurbanov Chingiz, is missing as a result of the shootout. He is being searched for.
