Azeri jet didn't violate Armenian border
The Armenian Defense Ministry refuted reports on violation of the Armenian airspace by an Azeri jet. "The information is not true. Our anti-aircraft system prevents any violation," RA Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan told reporters Friday.

"However, the frequency of Azeri flights grew during the past week," he noted.

"They do not violate our border but conduct maneuvers. Azerbaijan is aware that Armenia possesses the best anti-aircraft system in the region. No one can violate our border. Our military will perfectly perform the task they are charged with," the Minister said, Novosti Armenia reports.

Some Armenian media circulated information that an Azeri jet made an attempt to violate the Armenian airspace.
