Armenia’s Defense Ministry admitted that the operational-tactical missile systems (OTRK) destroyed by the fire were on alert on the territory of the occupied Kelbajar region of Azerbaijan without civilian facilities and infrastructure and were in a state of readiness for use.
These OTRKs were targeted at civilian facilities and infrastructure in Azerbaijan. The allegations of the Armenian Defense Ministry that the settlements of Azerbaijan were not shelled from the territory of Armenia are an obvious lie.
It is an indisputable fact that Ganja, Mingachevir and other settlements of Azerbaijan came under fire from the territory of Armenia.
Azerbaijan has no military goals and interests in the territory of Armenia. On the contrary, Armenia, opening fire from its territory on the populated areas of Azerbaijan, deliberately tries to expand the geography of the conflict.
The ministry declared that in order to ensure the safety of its civilian population and settlements, Azerbaijan will continue to reserve the right to neutralize legitimate military goals.
