“There have been no changes in the positions of the Azerbaijan Army in the village of Farrukh and on the surrounding high grounds, which are part of the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan,“ the country’s Defense Ministry said in a statement.
“The information about the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani army units from those positions does not reflect the truth. Our army is in full control of the operational situation," it added.
The Azerbaijani armed forces regained full control over the village, clearing it of illegal Armenian armed groups, who had to leave Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territories in Karabakh under a cease-fire deal signed by Azerbaijan, Russia, and Armenia on Nov. 10, 2020.
The ministry also denied the Russian Defense Ministry’s claim that Azerbaijan had violated the cease-fire in Karabakh and pointed out that “no cases of injuries among Azerbaijani servicemen have been recorded.”
It noted that the expression “Nagorno-Karabakh" was used in recent statements of the Russian Defense Ministry.
“The use of the expression ‘Nagorno-Karabakh’ in the statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense dated March 26 and 27 is disrespectful to the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which is recognized and accepted by the international community, including the Russian Federation.”
“We remind you once again that there is no administrative and territorial unit called ‘Nagorno-Karabakh’ in the territory of Azerbaijan.” it stressed.
Referring to a declaration on allied interaction between Azerbaijan and Russia which was signed in February 2022, It underlined:
“The statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense also demonstrates disrespect towards the declaration signed by the President of the Russian Federation, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin."
