Tatoyan presented footage showing Azerbaijani servicemen firing what appears to be sporadic, celebratory gunfire using live ammunition near the border villages of Agarak and Yeghvard at daytime.

“We also have other evidence proving that Azerbaijani armed forces are firing shots,” he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
