“The statement of the Azerbaijani side that the Armenian units allegedly tried to hit the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline is a blatant lie,” tweeted Shushan Stepanyan, Press secretary of the Minister of Defence of Armenia.

“We have repeatedly stated, that we are not targeting oil and gas infrastructure. However, regardless of the location all military facilities and objectives from which #Artsakh will be fired at, will be destroyed,” stated Stepanyan.
