Let us go over to the front-line now. Sahin Rzayev, an ANS
correspondent in Karabakh, is on the line. Good evening, Sahin. Where
exactly are you? What is the situation like there?
[Correspondent, by phone] Good evening, Aytan. We are now in the
village of Qapanli in Tartar District. According to local residents,
Armenians have stepped up activities over the past three days. This
village borders on the occupied village of Seyidsuvanli in Agdara
District. The distance between the villages is about 200 to 300
metres. According to the residents, Armenians have been subjecting
the village to intensive fire over the past three days. The Armenians
fired on the village for about 15 minutes at about 2200 [1800 gmt]
yesterday [15 September]. The case was repeated today. The enemy
again fired on the village from large-calibre guns for 10-15 minutes
at about 1915 [1515 gmt]. The Armenian positions are located higher
than the positions in Qapanli. For this reason, they can clearly see
the village. The village is fenced in order to protect it from the
enemy fire.
