JERMUK, SEPTEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS. Video surveillance monitoring shows that a 50-60-man Azerbaijani military group has pulled back from the northern part of Jermuk, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Edvard Asryan told reporters.

He said that now only one Azerbaijani military team is located near Jermuk some 4,5 kilometers away on a hilltop, but this group is surrounded.

“They didn’t reach the outskirts of Jermuk with the entire front, only one group is on the hill. And in terms of vitality, if this adversary group doesn’t get food or water supply they will deplete their resources in a few days and will have to leave. The group is surrounded by our detachments,” Asryan said.

He said the tactical situation is stable.

Asryan said he is convinced that this Azeri group will withdraw as a result of the skilled actions of the Armenian side.

“We won’t allow their vitality to be ensured, there won’t be vehicle movement into our territory, there is none right now too, they are unable to bring food or water and by losing vitality this group will pull back and join their main detachments which are farther away from the outskirts of Jermuk, 7 to 10 kilometers,” he said.
