Armenia announces downed Azerbaijani Air Force plane
The Armenian Defense Ministry reported on the downed Azerbaijani plane in the conflict area on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Representative of the department Shushan Stepanyan stated this.
“Air defense units of the Defense Army of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh – RBK) shot down an enemy aircraft in the southern direction at about 8:30,” the message says.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry denied this information. The Facebook press service of the ministry says that the reports of the Armenian side about the alleged downed Azerbaijani military aircraft “are false and just another invention.”
The parties have repeatedly accused each other of disseminating false information. Thus, on the eve of Baku, it was announced that Armenia had fired missiles in the direction of the strategic Baku-Novorossiysk oil pipeline, most of which is owned by the Russian state-owned company Transneft. As reported in the General Prosecutor’s Office of Azerbaijan, the Armenian missiles were shot down by the air defense forces of the Azerbaijani army, however, some units fell at a distance of 250 meters from the Baku-Novorossiysk oil pipeline, passing through the village of Sitalchay in the Khizi region. Yerevan called these statements an absolute lie.
Military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh resumed at the end of September.
Armenia and Azerbaijan twice agreed on an armistice, but after that there were again reports of shelling.
