Azerbaijan opens gunfire at farmers in Nagorno-Karabakh to disrupt grain harvest and exacerbate humanitarian disaster
17:26, 17 August 2023YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan violated the Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire for the second time on Thursday, once again targeting farmers in what Nagorno-Karabakh authorities said is an attempt to disrupt their grain harvest.
In a statement, the Ministry of Defense of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) said that the Azerbaijani military opened small arms fire around 17:00, August 17, in the direction of a combine harvester working in the fields of Sarushen village.
The Ministry of Defense said that it is obvious that by trying to disrupt the grain harvest Azerbaijan seeks to aggravate the humanitarian disaster in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from its blockade.
