“A while ago the Azerbaijani agitprop spread another delirium about another “success” of its armed forces during the day. This time a destroyed Armenia UAV has appeared in the imagination of the neighboring propagators. Of course, they did not forget to attach “irrefutable proves” of the incident, this time a photo… Don’t be surprised. Take it as another demonstration of stupid habit,” Senor Hasratyan posted on his Facebook page.
“The Azerbaijani side continued to violate the ceasefire regime today by firing 68 shells from different-caliber mortars and automated grenade launchers in the direction of the Defense Army positions in the eastern (Akna) and northeastern (Martakert) directions of Artsakh-Azerbaijan contact line.
“I realize the conflict has entered a new stage after the escalation recorded in April 2016. However, I don’t realize what happened on February 25 and which the primary reasons of the occurrence were. I consider, any of the parties to the conflict may have its motives for the escalation. I can’t understand how Azerbaijani soldiers died during recent developments.”
