Armenia continues its provocative policy, spreading false information about the situation in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported that information spread by the Armenian side about the ceasefire violation by Azerbaijan's Armed Forces does not correspond to the real facts.

The Armenian media claims that allegedly the Azerbaijani side does not comply with the agreement on ceasing the military operations along Azerbaijan-Armenian line of contact.

“Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry declares that the Azerbaijani side strictly follows the ceasefire regime from the first day of its announcement and is committed to the reached agreement,” the statement read. “The ceasefire regime has again been violated by Armenian servicemen.”

The information disseminated by the Armenian media is untrue, the ministry concluded.

Earlier, the defense ministry has dismissed the information spread by foreign media outlets, including the Armenian media that allegedly the strategic positions taken by Azerbaijan during the latest military operations have been returned to Armenia.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan flared up again on April 2 when Yerevan, which has pursued an aggressive and occupation policy against Baku, tried to tarnish Azerbaijan’s image by provoking war and repeatedly violating the ceasefire and firing on civilians.

During the counter attack, the Azerbaijani troops retook hills around the village of Talish, as well as Seysulan settlement, and also took over Lele Tepe hill located in the direction of Fizuli region.

Military operations were stopped on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian armies on April 5 at 12:00 (UTC/GMT + 4 hours) with the consent of the sides, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry reported.
