When Armenians shoot a bullet, a `Great War` starts in an information field. The same thing happened again. The political and information field have recently witnessed much greater provocations.

Armenians claim that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have attacked Armenian positions near the frontline. Furthermore, they asserted claims that the Azerbaijani side had withdrawn when one soldier went missing. The Armenian side`s aim in spreading this allegation is crystal clear: They want to prove the whole world that as if the Azerbaijani side particularly violates the ceasefire by pursing the same policy since the April fights.

They precisely prepared the plan this time. The Armenian correspondent of the `TASS` agency, Poligon Baghramyan disseminated the statement of Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Nikolay Bordyuzha immediately after the diversion in the frontline. Bordyuzha explicitly blamed the Azerbaijani side for the provocation on the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.

At the same time, the use of the`Nagorno-Karabakh Republic` expression in the news posted in the website of the CSTO shows that the incidents root from the same source. It is no exception that the plan has previously prepared: Armenia will commit provocation and then Bordyuzha will shift the blame onto Azerbaijan. The provocative statement will appear in the website.

Concordantly, `Azerbaijani` blogger and media which closely work with Armenia became active: they supported the Armenian logic by saying that if the Armenian side committed provocation, why did our soldier go missing? Moreover, they disseminated unscrupulous news as if 7 Azerbaijani soldiers had fallen a martyr.

There is no doubt that the people whose children or closed ones are on the contact line have experienced psychological trauma. Let`s leave the moral side of this incident, out of account. There is not any difference between being Armenian and disseminating news citing the Armenian media at such times. Armenia wants to see such an information landscape: Azerbaijanis attacked and withdrew because of great losses. If any Azerbaijani serves to complete this landscape, he/she is one of the Armenian commandos in the information arena.

Let`s get into the details: Chinarli village where the provocation happened is located on the border with Armenia; so if the Azerbaijani intelligence officers get across this place, they will enter the Armenian land. We had not conducted intelligence exercises in the Armenian land and there is no need for it. So, the cross of Azerbaijani intelligence group to the opposite side is nonsense. Meanwhile, it would be more comfortable for Armenia to send the intelligence-diversion group to the Azerbaijani positions from the Armenian land.

When it comes to how and why the soldier went missing, the Armenian diversion probably aimed to take hostage. Or they had taken the body of the soldier in order to put forward argument against Azerbaijan. This is a secret detail of the military action and no judgement can be made on its basis.

Armenia has motives to do this.

Primarily, one motive could be to present Azerbaijan to the world as the side of conflict violating the peace.

Secondly, the diplomatic plans of Yerevan failed because Armenia could not draw the attention of the CSTO members to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict sufficiently at the CSTO meeting in St Peterburg. Instead, they intended to compensate the failure by committing such provocation.

In such situation, every Azerbaijani citizen and social network user are required to act relevantly by understanding the interests of his/her state and nation. Any sentence, status or tweet is a bullet thrown into the information arena in such a sensitive moment. In the war situation, shooting yourself is a military crime.
