Well off the main highway travelling North in Nagorno Karabagh,
on the way to the monastery at Gandzasar,
Overnight October 1-2 the situation in the Artsakh-Azerbaijani conflict zone has been relatively stable-tense.
But diplomatic English has one vulnerability: it works only in peaceful times, when you can mingle around with glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, enjoying tasty snacks and finding the right people to get acquainted.
On October 1, the fifth day of the war unleashed against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and Armenia with the overt support of Turkey, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces targeted journalists performing their professional duties in Artsakh.
The journalists of French Le Monde newspaper and their guides has been targeted in Artsakh’s Martuni city. Independent journalist Hermineh Virabyan who was accompanying “Le Monde” journalists in Artsakh in her interview with “Hetk” said that their guide, a citizen of Martuni has died.
The Ambassador offered condolences over the military and civilian victims of the recent-days military operations, noting that France is extremely worried over the escalation and attentively follows the developments.
Any militaristic rhetoric or actions by 3rd countries over the situation in Nagorno Karabakh can lead to destabilization of situation in the region of South Caucasus, citing TASS, official representative of the Russian foreign ministry Maria Zakharova said.
The authorities of Baku, with the obvious instigation by Turkey, have started yet another large-scale offensive against the Republic of Artsakh on September 27, 2020, thus restarting active military acts. In reality, this time around one of the core intentions to restart the war is the expansion of Turkey’s influence in this region for which the ethnic minorities of Azerbaijan will shed their blood, will die or become disabled. None of the ethnic minorities of Azerbaijan will benefit from this war. Your interests and the interests of the Armenians of Artsakh are not in conflict.
