Artsakh Defense Ministry issued a message which states explicitly:
"The message spread by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that, allegedly, on July 10, the units of the Defense Forces repeatedly violated the ceasefire by opening fire in the direction of the Azerbaijani positions located in the occupied territories of Askeran and Martuni regions of the Republic of Artsakh is another misinformation.
The claim of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan about the suspension of engineering works as a result of their actions is also false.
As we have already reported previously, the false statements of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan aim to justify the fire that is regularly opened in the direction of the citizens of the Republic of Artsakh and agricultural equipment to disrupt agricultural works. On July 10, between 9:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., Azeri units opened fire from small arms at a harvester doing agricultural work in the fields of the Sarushen community.
