Situation in two villages attacked by Azerbaijan discussed at Security Council meeting

Situation in two villages attacked by Azerbaijan discussed at Security Council meeting

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan chaired a special meeting of the Security Council. Besides the members of the Security Council, attending the meeting were the Speaker of the National Assembly Ararat Mirzoyan, the Minister of Territorial Administration Suren Papikyan, the leader of the “My Step” faction of the National Assembly Lilit Makunts, the leader of the “Bright Armenia” faction Edmon Marukyan, representative of the “Prosperous Armenia” faction Arman, Chief of Staff of the President Emil Tarasyan.

To begin with the Prime Minister referred to the tension in Artsakh and on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

“First, in the Khtsaberd, Hin Tagher section of Artsakh, yesterday our positions were attacked by Azerbaijani units, according to some information, Turkish special forces also too part,” the Prime Minister said, adding that the attack took place as the Russian peacekeepers had not yet been deployed in the area.

“Units of our Armed Forces, the Artsakh Defense Army fought and resisted,” he said, noting that at least six were wounded in clashes.

“Shortly after the start of hostilities yesterday, a small Russian peacekeeping unit approached the combat zone, as a result of which the fighting stopped, but the Azerbaijani special forces took control of the villages of Hin Tagher and Khtsaberd. Russian peacekeepers deployed more forces in the section this morning, and the situation is relatively stable at the moment, at least the presence of peacekeepers there gives some confidence that there is a high probability of avoiding further escalation,” the Prime Minister said.

According to him, the primary issue now is to ensure that the situation in the section fully complies with the provisions of the November 9 statement, which stipulates that the troops remain at their positions occupied along the line of contact at the moment of signing. The villages were under the control of the Artsakh Defense Army at the moment of signing of the statement.

Therefore, he said, regardless of the presence of Russian peacekeepers, yesterday’s actions of the Azerbaijani forces definitely violate the provisions of the joint statement of November 9.

Next, the Prime Minister stressed the need to make decisions connected with Kubatlu and Zangelan regions.

“Of course, there is no mention of these areas in the joint statement, because at the time of signing the statement, these areas, unfortunately, were mostly under the control of Azerbaijani forces, i.e. only small parts remained,” the Prime Minister said, adding that the borders should be clarified here to avoid possible tensions in the section.

“The process of exchanging prisoners is also very important, here we have some progress or a serious opportunity for progress and we have to make concrete decisions in the coming days,” PM Pashinyan stated.

Azerbaijan has been unable to break through the front line during the day – Armenia MoD

The Armenian Defense Ministry confirms that the Azerbaijani side has taken control of Kubatlu.

“Unfortunately, during the battles last night the adversary managed to take control of Kubatlu and advance in some directions,” official representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan told a daily briefing today.

He will present the exact areas throw interactive maps tomorrow.

“Early this morning, the Azerbaijani armed forces, joined by various terrorist organizations, as well as units of the armed forces of other countries, launched a large-scale offensive in the south-eastern direction, simultaneously shelling and bombing the cities of Artsakh,” Hovhannisyan said.

During the whole day, those bands failed to break through the front line. The enemy seemed to be successful in some places, but our units managed to restore the front line through successful counterattacks.

“In the forested part of the villages north of Hadrut, the search and destruction operations of subversive groups continued. Some subversive groups left their vehicles and fled, but fighting continued in several villages,” Hovhannisyan stated.

“Yes, the enemy achieved success in certain areas, yes, they approached the outskirts of Syunik. But the situation is not catastrophic. I believe in the strength of the Armenian soldier. We must win, because this is a battle for our existence,” said the representative of the Armenian Ministry of Defense.

Armenia rejects Azeri claims of firing on Karabakh-held territories as absurd

New Post has been published on https://armenia.in-the.news/society/armenia-rejects-azeri-claims-of-firing-on-karabakh-held-territories-as-absurd-63714-24-10-2020/

Armenia rejects Azeri claims of firing on Karabakh-held territories as absurd

October 24, 2020 – 17:36 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenia has not opened artillery or rocket fire towards Azerbaijan, and reports of shelling the Lachin and Kubatlu regions from Goris and Kapan are false too, Armenian Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan told PanARMENIAN.Net on Saturday, October 24

“Armenia has never opened fire, and is not firing now too. Meanwhile the statement that Armenia is shelling territories controlled by the Artsakh Defense Army (Lachin and Kubatlu – Ed.) is absurd,” Stepanyan added.

The spokesperson also denied that an Armenian military plane has been downed.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.
