Air Defense units of the Artsakh Armed Forces shot down an Azerbaijani warplane and an unmanned aerial vehicle at 07:55 October 2 in the north-eastern direction of Artsakh, Armenian Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said.
Overnight October 1-2 the situation in the Artsakh-Azerbaijani conflict zone has been relatively stable-tense.
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.
