David Babayan: Azerbaijani side made several failed attempts to infiltrate into Artsakh territory

YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS. Today the Azerbaijani side again made a number of attempts to infiltrate into Artsakh Republic territory, but the attempts were a failure. Moreover, they suffered dozens of casualties and have 5 destroyed T-90 tanks, which is a huge blow for them. In total, Azerbaijan has already lost over 2 dozens of tanks, Artsakh President Spokesperson David Babayan told “Armenpress”. “Though the situation continues to remain tense on the frontline, but overall it is under control”, Babayan said adding the aggression of the enemy are suppressed by all possible methods.

He documented that the both the army and the population are in a high psychological state, there is no panic, which is best demonstrated by non ending flow of volunteers wishing to leave for the frontline. “There are schoolchildren, even girls, who come and try to enroll; of course, they are not accepted for age and other reasons. There are also young girls and women ready to serve, of course they are not conscript as well, but this demonstrate the psychological state, there is no fear or panic”, David Babayan mentioned, adding that “at this moment the Defense Army is capable of protecting the borders of the motherland by its own”.

As refers to the barbarism of the Azerbaijani subversive group in Talish that took place on April 2, when elderly people were tortured and killed in their house, David Babayan noted that it is the true portrait of insane Azerbaijan.  “An Azerbaijani subversive group infiltrated into Talish, entered an ordinary house, where elderly people lived, tortured and killed them. This is their handwriting and psychological state. They torture and kill elderly people, who are unable to self-defense. This is fascism and terror; we deal with an abnormal adversary, rational beings cannot act like that”, David Babayan said.

He added that Azerbaijan will hardly take lessons and regret for its deeds, at the same time stating that it is the mistake of the international community, which must restrain and sober up Azerbaijan. “In any case, we will continue to defend our freedom and independence and will give a powerful blow to Azerbaijan”, NKR President’s press secretary David Babayan said.

Peace talks between Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan have been facilitated by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe since March 1992 within the frameworks of Minsk Group, co-chaired by Russia, United States and France.

Ceasefire agreement between Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, facilitated by Russia's representative to the CSCE/OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov, was signed on May 5, 1994, which had been maintained with only sporadic violations along the Line of Contact and international border till the latest Azerbaijani large scale offensive in the night of April 2, 2016.

 Over the last two years Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs and over 80 U.S. Congressmen (Royce-Engel bill) proposed concrete measures to de-escalate situation and establish ceasefire monitoring equipments along the borders. Azerbaijan has been repeatedly rejecting these calls. 

Azerbaijan has unleashed unprecedented offensive military actions in the contact line of Nagorno Karabakh. Due to the timely and professional actions of the Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army, it was possible to take the situation under control, and make the enemy suffer considerable losses. On April 1 and 2, the Azerbaijani forces sustained 200 casualties. Around 20 enemy tanks and 1 “Grad” missile system were destroyed.
