ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Pakistan on Friday refuted the Indian media reports that Pakistan army is fighting alongside the Azerbaijani forces against Armenia over the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh.

In a statement, Pakistan Foreign Ministry said such reports are “irresponsible, speculative and baseless".

However, the ministry, reiterating its country's position on the issue, stated Pakistan is deeply concerned over the deteriorating security situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

“The intensive shelling by Armenian forces on civilian populations of Azerbaijan is reprehensible and most unfortunate. This could compromise peace and security of the entire region. Armenia must stop its military action to avoid further escalation," said the statement.

"Pakistan supports Azerbaijan’s position on Nagorno-Karabakh, which is in line with the several unanimously adopted United Nations Security Council resolutions," the statement added.

On Tuesday, some Indian media outlets reported that Pakistani soldiers are fighting along with Azerbaijani troops against the Armenia aggression.

Border clashes broke out early Sunday when the Armenian forces targeted Azerbaijani civilian settlements and military positions, leading to casualties.

Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been volatile since 1991 when the Armenian military occupied Upper Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan.

World powers, including the US, Russia, France and Germany, have urged an immediate halt to clashes along the frontier.

Turkey, meanwhile, has voiced support for Azerbaijan's right to self-defense.

Four UN Security Council and two UN General Assembly resolutions, as well as many international organizations, demand the withdrawal of occupying forces.
The OSCE Minsk Group -- co-chaired by France, Russia, and the US -- was formed in 1992 to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, but to no avail. A cease-fire, however, was agreed to in 1994.

Shouldn't the title be Pakistan dismisses baseless Indian accusations.
Denying is a very small word typically used where the chances of something done might be there.

It's a no brainer. Pakistan never engages itself in foreign wars.

Its written policy in the era of Raheel Sharif , Pakistan army only moved under UN flag. No military moved in any country on mere request to attack opposing country. Because, in such events Pakistan army and govt can be dragged in any International court of justice in the name of war crimes etc etc ....Plus, for the last many years Pak army is busy on all borders.d
Pak army provide best training to Azeri soldiers, but at the end of day, they have to fight there war. Not even Turkish govt will send its regular army. Because if national army lands in such type of situation then it will turn into international issue and other nations will walk in to support there friends. And it turn into massive fire.

For the world with sense, dignity, intelligence, self respect understands the meaning of denying except for fake news factory or people on the mars. Pakistan addresses the former and the latter will continue in their own world of lies and propaganda.

It may be a bit like Pak volunteers during the Arab-Israeli wars. Soldiers volunteering on their own, and taking a flight to Baku cannot be claimed as official Pakistani soldiers sent by the government.
