On August 28, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry continued its disinformation campaign, falsely accusing the Armenian military of two cross-border shootings at 6:45 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
These claims, aimed at destabilizing the region, were promptly refuted by Armenia’s Defense Ministry (MoD).
Documented Falsehoods by Azerbaijan in 2024:
August 28: Allegations of Armenian fire at 6:30 p.m. and 6:45 a.m. in the southwestern border region”both refuted by Armenia’s MoD.
August 18: Allegations of Armenian fire at 11:50 p.m. (eastern border) and 7:30 p.m. (southwestern border).
August 16: Claim of Armenian fire at 3:20 a.m. in the western border region.
August 15: Allegation of Armenian fire at 6:10 p.m. in the southwestern border region.
July 28: False claim of Armenian reconnaissance flights at 5:40 p.m. in the southeastern border region.
July 20: Allegation of Armenian fire at 10:10 p.m. in the eastern border region.
June 22: Claim of Armenian fire at 1:00 p.m. in the eastern border region.
June 21: Allegation of Armenian fire between 12:25 p.m. and 3:35 p.m. in the eastern border region.

June 12: Allegation of Armenian fire between 10:05 a.m. and 5:50 p.m. in the southwestern border region.
Armenia’s Defense Ministry has consistently refuted these allegations with evidence, affirming Armenia’s commitment to truth and peace, unlike Azerbaijan’s continuous spread of misinformation. This ongoing disinformation campaign by Azerbaijan demonstrates a clear intent to escalate tensions, undermining efforts toward peace and stability in the region.
The Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia has proposed establishing a joint mechanism to investigate ceasefire violations, to which Azerbaijan has yet to respond.
