Azeri Media Distort Information on Fires in Karabakh
There are no facts proving arsons in Nagorno Karabakh, chairman of the permanent committee on defense, security and order at the NKR National Assembly Rudolf Martirosyan stated in Stepanakert today. In his words, presently the Fire Fighting Service of the republic stands on duty round the clock to help the population to reap harvest. "The NKR government assigned funds for the efficiency of the Fire Fighting Service activities. We keep the situation under control and being informed of all the local fires do our utmost to prevent them," Martirosyan said. As for the recent reports of the Azeri media, in the deputy's words, this information is completely distorted. "Speaking of arsons set to Azeri houses is absurd," he said, reported Novosti-Armenia.
