Another ‘Tactical Withdrawal Lie’ by the Armenian MoD
As Armenia is facing defeat against the successful military operations by the Azerbaijani Army, Yerevan is resorting to circulating yet more fake news. Armenian leadership, occupied territories seeping through their fingers, has begun spreading abnormal information about the battles. The Armenian Ministry of Defence reports that the army has retreated in different directions along the front during the night, especially in Khojavand.
‘Battles continued throughout the night in the eastern, southeastern, and southern directions of the front. Our units have made a tactical retreat from several positions in the eastern portion of the frontline (Aghdam-Khojavand) to establish more favourable positions for defence.’
Thus, acknowledging the high combat preparedness and full control over the operational-tactical situation by the Azerbaijani Army, the Armenian side is trying to sugarcoat the reality for the Armenian society with the tales of a ‘tactical retreat’.
