YEREVAN, April 2. /ARKA/. A spokesman for the Armenian defense ministry has denied rumors that the authorities have announced a mobilization in the country saying also rumors about large losses sustained allegedly by the Armenian side during the latest escalation of tension in Karabakh are not true.
The spokesman, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, wrote in his Facebook page that the situation on the border remains tense with fighting continuing in different sections of the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh.
'This in mind, I ask our country fellows not to spread misinformation and not to play in the hands of our enemy. Rumors about heavy casualties suffered ostensibly by the Armenian side, evacuation and mobilization do not correspond to reality," he said.
