In the official statement of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense, it is emphasized that the information spread by some Armenian social media sources is completely false and disinformation.
The military department categorically rejects these unfounded claims and denies the fact that the Azerbaijani armed forces opened fire on the convoy of Russian peacekeepers evacuating Armenian residents.
Nagorno-Karabakh is a disputed region on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The self-proclaimed republic received no recognition from UN member states.
In November 2020, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed an agreement with the participation of Russia on the cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh. The document provided for the entry of Russian peacekeepers into the Nagorno-Karabakh territory, the exchange of prisoners, the transfer of some regions in the region by Armenia to Azerbaijan, and the return of refugees.
The road in the Lachin corridor is the only road between Armenia and Karabakh. The situation became even more complicated last December when a group of Azerbaijanis blocked the corridor. Azerbaijan demands an end to the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in various areas of Karabakh. Armenia, on the other hand, holds Baku responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Previously Baku invited Representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians for negotiations in Yevlakh.
