Turkey denied, today, Tuesday, that it shot down an Armenian military plane, as the Armenian Ministry of Defense accused it, with the continuing battles in the Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh region occupied by Armenia.
“The allegations that Turkey shot down an Armenian fighter,” said Fakhreddin Altun, the media director in the Turkish presidency.
He added, “Armenia must withdraw from the lands it occupies instead of resorting to this ridiculous propaganda.”
Also, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense rejected Yerevan’s accusations, and its spokesman told reporters that “this information is another lie of Armenian propaganda.”
The spokeswoman for the Armenian Defense Ministry, Shushan Stepanyan, had earlier claimed that “an Armenian Su-25 plane shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter … came from Azerbaijani lands,” confirming that the Armenian pilot was killed.
