Azerbaijani side continues making contradicting each other statements in connection with the downed Karabakh helicopter.

Another proof of the Azerbaijani propaganda lies is an interview of the “hero of the day” Ilkin Muradov who shot down the helicopter, according to the official version.

In his interview with Azərbaycan Ordusu newspaper, Muradov said a helicopter was discovered three days before the incident. “The helicopter flew in front of Azerbaijani positions heading to the command headquarters and came back. On November 12, the helicopters attacked positions of the Azerbaijani army”, he said.

According to the soldier’s words, the helicopter was in the air for three days.

“I was on full alert. First we heard the sound of approaching helicopters. Then we saw in binoculars small dots,” Muradov said.

The servicemen suggests  two Mi-24 "flew straight at us."

“The message was immediately sent to the command post, and there was an order to destroy the helicopters, if they enter the area of our defensive military unit and violate air borders. Helicopters rapidly approaching our positions opened fire at an army post. Our soldiers also fired at the helicopters with machine guns. At this time, the enemy fighting machines have changed the direction of flight to the left. I took the sight of the second helicopter and opened fire,” he added.

But the authors of this entertaining fairy tale failed, as last night the Azerbaijani media, quoting press service of the Defense Ministry, told “details” of the incident. According to yesterday's version, the fire from Igla-S man-portable air-defense system was opened in the second line of defense from a distance of 2,140 meters. With such a range, the description “they flew straight at us”, looks a bit strange.

Opening the brackets of Muradov’s narrative, it turns out that the Azerbaijani side purposely shot down an unarmed helicopter during a training flight. They were not watching flying helicopters, but deliberately waited for the moment when the helicopter was close to the line of contact.
