The information spread by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense that the units of the Defense Army shelled the Azerbaijani positions in the occupied territories of the Martuni region of the Republic of Artsakh is an absolute lie and does not correspond to the reality, the Artsakh Ministry of Defense reported.

"The Azerbaijani side, staying true to its style, is preparing the information ground for provocations against the Republic of Artsakh.

At the moment the situation on the front line is relatively stable," the statement reads.
