Armenia denies Azeri accusation of targeting Gabala, Kurdamir

The announcement of the Azerbaijani side on Armenia allegedly firing ballistic missiles in the direction of Gabala and Kurdamir is utter nonsense and a cynic lie, Armenian Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan said Thursday, October 22.

"No missile has been fired from the territory of the Republic of Armenian in the direction of Azerbaijan," Stepanyan added.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.
