STEPANAKERT. – In the recent period, an unprecedented rise is
registered in ceasefire violations at the line of contact between
Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces. And these violations intensively
continued in the past week, too.
In the last period of the month of September alone, the Azerbaijani
army’s vanguard subdivisions fired more than 6,000 shots in the
direction of Armenian positions, thereby violating the ceasefire
approximately 900 times. It is noteworthy that nearly 35 percent of
these violations was registered past week.
It is also noteworthy that such activeness in the offensives by the
Azerbaijani side was more constant close to the festive days in
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) and Armenia. And naturally, this had
the objective of affecting, in any way, the course of celebrations
being organized and, of course, the Armenian public mood.
Based on the created situation, NKR Defense Army’s vanguard
subdivisions took adequate responsive steps, and, in case of extreme
necessity, also dealt the deserving counterstrike to the adversary,
NKR Defense Army Press Service informed.
