Nagorno-Karabakh reacts to news of shootout near Shushi

Soldiers of the Defence Army were not involved in a shelling attack on the positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces near Shushi, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of Nagorno-Karabakh reported.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on September 3, the Azerbaijani side claimed the shelling attack on its positions near the city of Shushi (the Azerbaijani name is Shusha, – note of the “Caucasian Knot”).

The armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh did not shell the positions of Azerbaijani soldiers near Shushi, the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh claims. “The message disseminated by the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan claiming that allegedly from 1:00 to 2:15 a.m. on September 3, the Armenian side fired at one of the positions in Shushi <...> is a new piece of disinformation,” reported the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh as quoted by the “Armenpress” news agency today.

“The [Nagorno-Karabakh] Ministry of Defence declares that units of the Defence Army are strictly observing the ceasefire,” the “News.am” quotes today the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh as announcing.
