The Azerbaijani forces launched an offensive attempt in the eastern direction of the frontline with Artsakh at around 10:30, with the use of armored vehicles, the Defense Ministry of Artsakh said.
The Azerbaijani military is bombarding the towns of Berdzor and Shushi in Artsakh.
The towns of Martuni and Shushi in Artsakh have come under intense Azerbaijani shelling, with Martuni being hit by heavy artillery and Shushi shelled with the most various types of munitions, the Artsakh State Service of Emergency Situations said.
In a conversation with 168.am, Davit Babayan, Advisor on Foreign Relations to the President of the Artsakh Republic said that he had repeatedly explained that one of the enemy’s short-term plans was the capture of Shushi.
Major destructions and civilian casualties happened in the town of Shushi as a result of the latest Azerbaijani bombardment, the State Service of Emergency Situations of Artsakh said.
The Artsakh Defense Army says the situation overnight November 3-4 was “relatively stable but tense” in all directions of the frontline.
Therefore, I can say that the majority of the people of Israel understand our struggle, they have compassion for us. Nevertheless, there are some groups in the Israeli government that are cooperating closely with Azerbaijan and Turkey, and a very strange situation is being created. In other words, they back Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who says that Jerusalem should be liberated, who called Adolf Hilter an effective ruler, considers himself an idol, etc. In fact, it turns out that some official circles in Israel are making a deal with the Nazis. This is not true only from the point of view of international law. One can say, it turns out that the heirs of the Holocaust enter into a deal with the fans of the fascists.
