The allegations that a Su-25 fighter jet belonging to the Armenian Armed Forces was allegedly shot down by an F-16 aircraft belonging to the Turkish Armed Forces are completely absurd and are another disinformation of Armenia.
Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, told APA.
According to him, according to the information on the Azerbaijani side, on September 29, two Su-25 aircraft took off in Armenia:
"Both planes hit a mountain, exploded and were destroyed. This shows that the Armenian military leadership does not provide accurate information to its citizens and the public. It would be good if the Armenian military leadership would provide information about the second plane and its pilot, rather than accuse any other party.
Armenia's statements about the alleged involvement of a third party in the conflict are completely absurd and have no basis. This is nothing but an attempt to divert Armenia's attention from its aggressive policy. Therefore, we recommend that they investigate the purpose of the departure of two Su-25 aircraft from the territory of Armenia and the circumstances under which they crashed into the mountain, the death of the pilots and inform the Armenian public.
