YEREVAN. – The news, with respect to an Azerbaijani soldier being killed by an Armenian sniper shot, is misinformation, Armenian defense minister’s press secretary, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“This information is not true; the Armenian party adheres to the ceasefire,” Hovhannisyan stressed.   

According to Azerbaijani media, Azerbaijani soldier Ali Abilov (born in 1994) was allegedly killed, on Sunday at the line of contact, as a result of an Armenian sniper shot.    

To note, the Azerbaijani party, as a rule, portrays as “victims of ceasefire violation” its soldiers that die in its own army, and under extraordinary circumstances.
