The Defense Ministry of Nagorno Karabak informs on September 16 at 13:00 the Defense Army soldier Narek G. Patatanyan (born in 1997) was mortally wounded in one of the military units of the Defense Army. Investigation is underway to clarify the details of the case.
According to professor Luhterhand the April war by Azerbaijan against the people of Artsakh was an act of aggression, whole responsibility of which lies on Baku’s political leadership.
The fact that, as compared to other documents, that of Key West is kept secret until now, already seemed not only strange, but rather hazardous, as there may be 2 explanations for that. Either the document plans unequal concessions, or it yet may be put on the negotiation table.
“We should be grateful to those, who are sincere and don’t hide that they again intend to take Artsakh, that they don’t observe any possibility for recognition of the Republic of Artsakh, they always say there won’t be a second Armenian state.”
“I think there is a conflict escalation risk which can lead to negative consequences. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict requires huge attention from all sides. He said if someone considers the Nagorno Karabakh conflict manageable, he is mistaken,” OSCE U.S. Co-Chair said.
“I consider, we can’t find a direct connection between NK conflict and Syrian crisis, it lacks, thus, it’s complicated to discuss its impact. Russia-USA agreement is a positive milestone in bilateral relations, which may be reflected on cooperation of these two mediators in negotiations.
Reflecting to NK conflict, Eduard Sharmazanov stated, that Artsakh will never be a part of Azerbaijan. He recorded that Azerbaijan doesn’t even tolerate existence of centuries-old Armenian cultural heritage on its territory. Vivid proof for this, according to the NA Deputy Speaker, is destroying of ten thousands of khachkars of Julfa in Nakhchivan.
According to the speaker, some political and social organizations activate and say “president, don’t concede” and prior to the elections the president comes and says “not a single inch,” “And we all say, look he was able to confront Putin’s pressure.” According to Zolyan at the moment there is no any serious process, what goes on, simply has a cosmetic nature.
“Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev, by declaring war in Baku, raised and strengthened his own power, initiated a process of constitutional amendments, which strengthen his personal authority. Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan in Yerevan, seemingly, is getting prepared for certain regulations in the country’s foreign policy.”
On September 7 at 01:30, as a result of the violation of the combat service rules, soldier Arman A. Ghandilyan (born in 1997) was mortally wounded in one of the military units of the north-eastern direction of the NKR Defense Army.
