Edmon Marukyan, Ambassador-at-Large of Armenia and Chairman of the Bright Armenia Party, reflected on the recent statements by Azerbaijan that, allegedly, the Armenian side is firing shots at the Azerbaijani side.

"Naturally, the relevant defense departments of the Armenian side dismiss these reports (...).

Many people ask why Azerbaijan carries out this disinformation in an organized and consistent manner. We all know that when Azerbaijan plans another border provocation, before carrying it out, it organizes a false basis of informational legitimization of this provocation.

All actors of the international community who are interested in the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process and the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh [(Artsakh)] conflict need to follow very carefully and clearly realize that Azerbaijan has once again started a preparatory process of provocation.

In this situation, an international targeted reaction can prevent this new provocation being prepared," Marukyan wrote, in particular, on Facebook.
