YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan planned the offensive against Artsakh for a long time, Armenian Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said in a statement.

According to her, the fact that Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry has officially announced a “counterattack” shows that the actions were pre-planned. This is proven by the fact that only minutes after the official reports on the escalation the Azerbaijani and Turkish news media are reporting from the frontline.

“Anyone having elementary knowledge on the military will state that it takes weeks to plan a counterattack operation. Minutes after the official reports on the escalation the Azerbaijani and Turkish news media are reporting from the frontline, which also shows that Azerbaijan’s provocation was pre-planned,” she said.

On early Sunday morning the Azerbaijani military launched a massive cross border artillery attack on Artsakh (Karabakh). The Azerbaijani bombardment also targeted civilian settlements, including Stepanakert city. 

Heavy battles are taking place at the entire length of the line of contact as Azerbaijani forces are attacking with helicopters, tanks and UAVs.

The Artsakh military said it shot down two attacking helicopters, three tanks and three UAVs.

Casualties are reported among the Artsakhi civilians.
