The Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) of Armenia, Arman Tatoyan, has reacted to the statement of Azerbaijani presidential aide Hikmet Hajiyev that the Armenian side allegedly fired a missile at civilian infrastructure in Mingachevir, but the missile did not explode, and Hajiyev had posted a photo on Twitter to substantiate the allegations.

It can be seen from the picture that the metal object resembling an empty pipe was most likely carefully placed in a hole in the paved asphalt.

Tatoyan noted as follows on Facebook: “What an intelligent behavior of this ‘Armenian’ missile. It penetrated into the Azerbaijani asphalt so gently. Such an obvious falsification, very hilarious:)

P.S. One has to see the disaster and casualties, including killings caused by Azerbaijani attacks and cluster bombs in civilian settlements of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and Armenia.”
