Do Not Believe the Azerbaijani Side's False Claims; They Are Aimed at Defaming the Armenian Soldier - Defense Army

The Azerbaijani propaganda machine is spreading the photos of conscript soldier Arayik Ghazaryan, who was found on the Azerbaijani side under unclear circumstances on August 12 of this year. It is claimed that the soldier left his place of service due to non-statutory relations, and the light scratches and scars on Ghazaryan's body are presented as evidence of violence against him.

Distorting reality and attributing one's own atrocities to the opposing side is a well-known tactic of Azerbaijani propaganda. The press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Artsakh urges the public not to trust the false claims of the Azerbaijani side, which are solely aimed at undermining the image of the Armenian soldier, and to await the conclusion of the ongoing investigation, the results of which will be made available to the public.
