Azerbaijani military opens gunfire at tractor in Nagorno-Karabakh to obstruct harvest

YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan violated the Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire on August 18 in the Martuni region, the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Defense Ministry said Friday.

In a statement, the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry said that the Azeri military opened small arms fire in the direction of a tractor working in the fields of Myurishen village.

“It is obvious that by consistently obstructing agricultural work, Azerbaijan seeks to further deepen the humanitarian disaster in the Republic of Artsakh resulting from the blockade,” the ministry added.

The Azeri military twice targeted Nagorno-Karabakh farmers on August 17 as well.
