The Ministry of Defense (MoD) of Azerbaijan on Monday disseminated another false statement claiming that from 10:15am to 10:23am, the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army units blocked out the GPS positioning system of a civil aircraft flying on the Fizuli-Baku route, the Artsakh Defense Army reported, citing Artsakh MoD press service.

"The Azerbaijan MoD's statement, which has nothing to do with reality, cannot withstand professional examination. As we have already mentioned before, the aircraft flying the mentioned route does not cross the AR [(Artsakh Republic)] air borders. By periodically disseminating such false statements, Azerbaijan aims to divert the attention of the international community from the daily deepening humanitarian disaster [in Artsakh] caused by the [ongoing] illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor [by Azerbaijan]," the Artsakh MoD press service added.

"It is needless to remind again that during and after the 2020 war operations, it is the Azerbaijani side that has consistently targeted the civilian infrastructure of the Artsakh Republic—by blocking the Lachin corridor, disrupting [natural] gas and electricity supply pipelines, and suppressing access to the internet and mobile communications," the Artsakh MoD press service concluded.
