[Presenter] Defence Minister Col-Gen Safar Abiyev has said that
Azerbaijan will respond appropriately to every gunshot fired by
Armenian troops.
[Safar Abiyev, speaking to microphone] This is an ordinary case.
Shoot-outs take place every day. Truly, the exchanges of fire have
become very intense over the past few days. Azerbaijan and Armenia
have sustained casualties. The Armenians have always been active. We
should be twice as active.

Akbarov, 19, was heavily wounded in a mine blast in the village of

“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
