Azerbaijan Armed Forces’ units have captured a video surveillance device installed in one of the Armenian army's positions at the line of contact of the Armenian-Azerbaijani troops, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported on May 31.

During the preliminary investigation it was revealed that the device was a hand-made as it consisted of a balloon (probe), a small parachute, a camera installed inside the foam box, various antennas with transmitters and wires.

"This once again confirms that the statements of the military and political leadership of Armenia about allegedly equipping the posts on the line of confrontation with the most modern video surveillance equipment of American production are nothing more than a myth and are designed for the internal Armenian audience," noted the Ministry.

For more than two decades, Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under control over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.

Despite a fragile ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenia keeps violating armistice with Azerbaijan.
