The bodies of 11 war victims who were considered missing-in-action in the 2020 Artsakh war were transferred to the Armenian side by Azerbaijani authorities on November 2.
Beginning November 8, adult foreign nationals who fly to the United States, with limited exceptions, must provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19, as well as a negative test taken in the past three days, the US Embassy in Armenia said in a statement.
On 5 October 2021, a new law went into effect in Armenia, raising the maximum threshold for “insults” and “defamation” fines by three times their previous amount. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) joined their affiliate the Union of Journalists of Armenia (UJA) in denouncing this law and its impact on the right of freedom of expression.
Former US Ambassador to Armenia John M Evans (2004-2006) says Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan’s proposal to create demilitarized zone around the borders of Armenia, in particular on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, “is fully justified”.
It is important to note that the Constitutional Court decided to examine the constitutionality of this extremely important law through a written procedure in order to avoid public open discourse.
Azerbaijan’s policy of terrorism seeks to achieve the exodus of Armenians from Artsakh, Stepanakert warned in wake of renewed Azeri ceasefire violations.
The Azerbaijani military opened fire at a medical ambulance of the Artsakh Defense Army in the north-eastern direction.
It is about the Norshen community of Artsakh, in the immediate vicinity of which the positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces are located. Attacks were launched in the direction of Harav and several other civilian communities of Artsakh.
The Defense Army of Artsakh informs that following the border incidents the situation is calm at the moment. The Armenian side has no territorial losses.
Another “information” spread by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, according to which a serviceman of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces was killed by a shot fired by the units of the Artsakh Defense Army at around 18:15 on October 14, is false and does not correspond to reality.
