Azeri media unable to clarify who was allegedly “killed” by Armenian armed forces

Azerbaijani media reports about an Azerbaijani boy allegedly killed by the Armenian armed forces are untrue.

The press service of the NKR Defense Army stated that the Nagorno Karabakh units maintained the ceasefire both on March 8 and previous days, proving reports to be another misinformation of the Azerbaijani propaganda machine.

The reports of various Azerbaijani sources are controversial – some of them state that the boy was eight, others speak about resident of Orta-Karvend settlement Farid Badalov, a ten-year-old boy.

“Misinformation of the kind is aimed at questioning the Armenian side’s willingness to settle the Karabakh conflict peacefully,” NKR Defense Army said.
