YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani 1news.az news agency disseminated a “sensational” news, Azg daily writes. According to the information, the Armenians have floated two mines, along the Khachen River, which were discovered and informed about by residents of Ayaz Garvand village of Aghdam region’s Azerbaijani-controlled area. And the experts concluded these mines were made in Armenia.    

“Of course, the Azerbaijani medium writes nothing as to how ‘the Armenians floated mines,’ and this reveals the apparent absurdity of this information, since it is impossible float mines along rivers for the simple reason that mines are not wood.    

And even if the Armenians had intended to send firewood to the Azerbaijanis, they would have been unsuccessful because the Khachen River’s water is scarce and the ravine’s watercourse is dry.   

What remains is to assume that the Azerbaijanis themselves had put mines in that area and forgotten about it. Or, perhaps, the authorities had placed mines there so that the inhabitants would not leave the near-front zone and thus remain captives,” Azg writes.
