Armenia – Aug 2 2022

The situation on the line of contact in Artsakh did not undergo significant changes last night and on Tuesday morning, the Artsakh Defense Ministry said in a statement.

“The stable tension is maintained,” it said.

“The Artsakh leadership, together with the command staff of the Defense Army and the Russian peacekeeping troops, are taking steps to defuse the tensions and prevent further escalation,” reads the statement.

Azerbaijani forces began attacking the Artsakh army positions in the country’s north and northwest on Monday morning. The Artsakh troops thwarted all Azerbaijani attempts to cross the line of contact, the ministry said.

An Artsakh soldier, identified as Albert Bakhshiyan, was injured in the Azerbaijani attack. His life is not in danger.

Emil Lazarian: “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
