MIXED SIGNALS: ARTSAKH DEFENSE ARMY CLAIMS IT CONTROLS HELICOPTER CRASH AREA
11:10, November 21, 2014
Despite the fact that Armenian forces have yet been unable to retrieve
the remains of the three crew members of an Armenian helicopter shown
down by Azerbaijan on November 12 along the Karabakh Line of Contact,
the Artsakh Defense Army (ADA) issued a statement today that the
crash site and the entire border remains under its control.
Ever since the downing of the helicopter, which was participating in
Armenian military exercises, Armenian and Artsakh military officials
have claimed that they cannot approach the crash site due to constant
firing by Azerbaijani forces.
In its statement, the ADA says it is taking all necessary steps to
prevent Azerbaijani forces from approaching the downed helicopter.
The ADA says that Azerbaijani violations of the ceasefire have
increased of late, especially in the region where the helicopter was
shot down.
