Armenian serviceman killed by Azerbaijani fire in Yeraskh

Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia’s Ministry of Defense has reported that an Armenian serviceman has been fatally wounded today at about 11.10AM by Azerbaijani fire.

“The units of the Azerbaijani armed forces resorted to another provocation opening fire from firearms and sniper rifles in the direction of Armenian positions in Ararat province, in particular, Yeraskh section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border as a result of which contract serviceman of the Armenian Armed Forces, junior sergeant Gegham Sahakyan, born in 1982, has received a fatal gunshot wound.

The Ministry of Defense strongly condemns the actions of the Azerbaijani side and warns that they will not remain without response. Azerbaijani military-political leadership bears the full responsibility for the aggravation of the situation,” Armenia’s MOD said in a statement.

“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
