Azernaijani MoD spreads another disinformation

On February 15, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry once again spread disinformation, claiming that on February 14 and 15, units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire on Azerbaijani combat positions located on the northeastern and eastern sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia reports.

The situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is relatively stable and is under full control of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.

Bill on occupied territories of Artsakh to be an important document

The bill on the Occupied Territories of Artsakh, which has been recently put into circulation in the Parliament, is going to be an important document and is a very significant step in terms of settling the Artsakh issue and clarifying the approaches on determining the international status of Artsakh, Foreign Minister of Artsakh Davit Babayan told Armenpress, highlighting the importance of the draft law from political, historical and moral perspectives.

“It, of course, is going to be a very important document. And this is our vision, it’s important both from political, historical and moral perspectives. It’s an important step in general, and this process itself is very important. Therefore, these discussions will take place in the National Assembly of Artsakh, and we are preparing that active discussions are going to happen. Of course, that will be a comprehensive law involving different aspects”, the Artsakh FM said.

According to him, the law is highly likely to be adopted, and this view is shared also by all parliamentary factions and political forces of Artsakh.

All factions represented in the parliament of Artsakh put into circulation a draft law on the Occupied Territories of Artsakh, according to which there will be a ban on those foreign companies which will want to carry out activity in the territories of Artsakh occupied by Azerbaijan, without the permission of the Artsakh government.
