Spokesperson of Artsakh Republic President Vahram Poghosyan commented on Facebook the Azerbaijani media recent disinformation and the swift amendments to it, following the tough reaction of Russia's Foreign Ministry.

"After the tough reaction of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Azerbaijani media swiftly amended its own disinformation released yesterday where it had distorted the words of Russian FM Sergey Lavrov during the meeting with the Speaker of Azerbaijani Milli Majlis and attributed number of anti-Armenian formulations to him regarding the Nagorno Karabakh issues ," Poghosyan wrote.
