YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS. “Karabakh war veterans” NGO issued a statement on the occasion of civilian casualties resulted by rival shooting in Berdavan community of Tavush Province on September 24 and the recent escalation of tension on Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

“It was with great sorrow and wrath that we got informed about the fatal shelling of Tavush bordering communities and the civilian casualties caused by it. Elderly people died during the days of the ceasefire achieved by us, and also those who remained with them trying to save them at the time of shelling were killed or injured, including young mothers.

We walked through the entire path of the Artsakh war and we well remember the innocent victims, as well as the grievous, but fair response that we gave against the shedding blood. We stood at the roots of the creation of the army and always stood side by side with the Armenian army and accept the famous statement of the Defense Ministry of the Republic of Armenia as an order.

And today, we remind the Azerbaijani army using the citizens of emptying bordering communities, frightened by the revenge, as a shield, about our encounters until 1994 and after and clearly announce that everything, including our tolerance, has its limits. On September 24 you again turned into murderers. We clearly say that the next time, instead of reaching the bullets and shells fired by you to our civilians, we, together with the soldiers of Armenian army will encounter you.

Thus, we urge instead of being always cautious, to awaken”, “Armenpress” reports that the statement issued by “Karabakh war veterans” NGO reads.
