Spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia Shushan Stepanyan posted the following on her Facebook page:

“The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan has officially announced the launch of a "counterattack", which comes to prove that the actions were planned long before. Anyone with basic military knowledge knows that planning a counterattack operation takes weeks. Minutes after the official announcement of the escalation, the Azeri-Turkish media published materials from the front line, which again proves that the provocation initiated by Azerbaijan was planned in advance.”
