Hard response of Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan Moscow

“The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan regrettes that items reflected in the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of March 27, 2022 are not true. No changes in the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the village of Farruh and on the surrounding heights, which are part of the sovereign territories of Azerbaijani The republic has not happened. ” This Haqqin.Az reported in the press service of the department.

As reported in the Ministry of Defense, information on the retreat of parts of the Azerbaijani army with these positions does not reflect reality.

“Our army fully controls the operational situation. The statement of the Ministry of Defense of Russia states that information about the alleged violation of the cease-fire regime by Azerbaijan also does not correspond to reality and cases of injury among Azerbaijani servicemen not recorded.

I would like to recall once again that there is no administrative-territorial unit on the territory of Azerbaijan called “Nagorno-Karabakh”.

Using the expression “Nagorno-Karabakh” in the statements of the Ministry of Defense of Russia of March 26 and 27 is disrespect for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan, recognized and adopted by the international community, including the Russian Federation.

I would like to remind the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that in the first paragraph of the Declaration on the Allied Cooperation, signed by the Presidents of the two countries on February 22, 2022, it was noted that “the Russian Federation and the Republic of Azerbaijan define their relations as allied interaction based on mutual respect for Independence, state sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of state borders of the two countries, as well as on the principles of non-interference in internal affairs. They are based on the commitment of the principles of peaceful resolution of disputes and non-violence or threats. “

In addition, according to paragraph 18 of the Declaration, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Azerbaijan, bring together efforts to combat the threats of international terrorism, extremism and separatism and their neutralization.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also demonstrates disrespect for this Declaration signed by the President of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Armed Forces of Russia Vladimir Putin.

The Ministry of Defense again declares that there is no village in the Khojaly district of Azerbaijan called “Furuh”. The name of the mentioned village is Farruh. We hope that in the following statements the name of the village will be indicated in the correct form, “the message says.
