Information of the Ministry of Defense

In recent days, websites that are under the control of the Armenian Defense Ministry continue to spread false and untruth information about the Azerbaijani Army that are intended for internal audiences.
Spreading such misinformation, the Armenian side is trying to prove itself aware of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. In fact, the demonstrated "letters with secret data" are so illiterately compiled that their falsification starting from the beginning to the end does not cause any doubt. All this is nothing more than a fictitious and carelessly glued piece of paper prepared by the secret services and "experts of counterpropaganda" of Armenia in a hurry way and not at the professional level.
Falsifications and mistakes made in the last letter quickly attract attention. It should be pointed out that due to the periodic oral report of the Chief of the General Staff to the Minister of Defense on the situation in the Army, the written report on the service issues distributed by the Armenian media is not as necessary. Prepared in the discrepancy with the style of preparation and with a lot of grammatical mistakes, the letter (in the letter you can find up to 20 mistakes) has nothing to do with internal correspondence and record keeping, which are provided in the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan. As official forms with inadequate symbolism, the signatures that are available there are generally forged, and the dates, figures, places and names indicated in these documents are entirely invented.
Presenting such bloated information, the enemy is trying to negatively affect the level of combat readiness and the moral and psychological state of the personnel of our army, as well as the growing authority of our Armed Forces.
One of the falsified data indicated in the letter is an incredibly bloated information about the casualties and losses of the Azerbaijani side during the April fights in 2016, which is deliberately increased several times. All the public and the press of the country took part in the funeral of the shehids (martyrs) at that time, and everyone witnessed the high appreciation and awards given by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to our Army, and also how solemnly and at a high level these processes were organized. Therefore, the replication of the Armenian press with information about the alleged concealment of losses after quite a long time, which has passed since then, is nothing more than a bluff and does not correspond to any ethical norms. At the current stage of technical progress, the concealment of such losses from the population is not possible. Moreover, these figures on the losses in the April battles are an indicator of the losses of Armenia itself, which the Armenian public has not yet been informed about.
The Armenian leadership, which did not recover from the April battles, deliberately and at times increased the losses of the Azerbaijani side, trying to distract the attention of the Armenian population. For some reason, they forget the crushing strikes of the Azerbaijani Army, which resulted in the liberation of up to 2,000 hectares of territory from the occupation.
The reason for announcing the ceasefire during the April fights, contrary to the statements of the enemy, was the mediation of a third party as a response to the pleading, humiliating and persistent request of the Armenian leadership, which panicked from the successful raming ahead of the Azerbaijani Army. The only reason for the consent of the Azerbaijani side to such a step and a meeting was the suspension of additional bloodshed.
Enemy’s such falsification is another unsuccessful Armenian-like step in response to the facts of the negative cases taking place in the Armenian occupation army, which was recently spread in the Azerbaijani media. Trying to justify themselves in front of their own people, with such information, the leadership of Armenia's criminal military and political regime tries to divert the attention of the Armenian public from the deplorable state of the army, due to which suicides, military hazing and other war crimes increased.
Unable to succeed in the fighting at the front, Armenia unleashes a war in the media, virtual space, registers profiles on social networks with fake IP’s and "fights" under the name of allegedly Azerbaijani bloggers who have never served in the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
The Ministry of Defense declares that the disseminated information and documents are false and fictitious starting from the beginning to the end, and their distribution in the Azerbaijani media and discussion in social networks is unacceptable. Because the disseminated misinformation serves the enemy’s interests, we urge not to succumb to this kind of propaganda.
