The statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that 60 Armenian servicemen were encircled in the Sev Lake section is disinformation. This is stated in the press release issued by the Ministry of Defense of Armenia.

“On November 10, certain Azerbaijani presses disseminated information according to which there was allegedly a brawl between Armenian and Azerbaijani servicemen in the territory of Sev Lake of Syunik Province of Armenia and that some Armenian servicemen were encircled.

Later, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan also spread disinformation by declaring that 60 Armenian servicemen had been encircled and that only through the mediation of the Russian side were they released. The statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan is blatant disinformation. What’s more, after the operations of the units of the Armenian Armed Forces that followed the provocation of the Azerbaijani side, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces applied to the Russian side with the request to solve the situation, and it was thanks to the active efforts of the Russian side that the situation became stable.

The Ministry of Defense of Armenia reaffirms that the situation in the territory of Sev Lake is under full control of the Armed Forces of Armenia,” the press release reads.
