Media reports periodically disseminated by Azerbaijan that allegedly the units of the Armenian army burned the territories adjacent to the settlements of Bash Karvend, Bayramlar and Kangarli of Agdam region do not correspond to the reality and are a primitive propaganda trick with the aim of misleading its own and the international community. This was stated by the Ministry of Defense of Artsakh Republic.
"Moreover, harvesting has already been completed in Azerbaijan and it is the Azerbaijani side that burns its crop areas, as a result of which the fire often spreads to the neutral zone," the Artsakh Defense Ministry said.
