Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry has commented on the statements made by Deputy Defense Minister of Armenia David Tonoyan at a briefing with foreign military attaches, who presented military maps and claimed that Azerbaijan was first to launch attack.

Defense Ministry’s press service informed that though Tonoyan was in military uniform, making unprofessional judgments, he tried to cover up the Armenian military leadership's failure in these operations and deceive representatives of foreign states.

“Those maps are operation charts used during trainings and reflecting certain targets, flight routes of aircrafts. Thus, they don’t prove that Azerbaijan was first to launch the attack,” says statement.
