What occurred throughout recent few days, was a real lesson to us. Starting from ordinary worker, to the highest state circle. We understood, that fight against corruption, rule of law, human rights protection, democracy and other values, are not just simple, nice words. Our fate and that of our country depend on them. Yes, it did cost us dear, but we realized that we need to have a powerful economy to have a powerful army, and for a powerful economy, we need to have a normal country and trust towards the state.
Political aspects of the causes of the start of the April war will be discussed for a long time: many geopolitical, economic and other reasons will be propounded, but the fact is that Azerbaijan has calculated several things. Over the past years Azerbaijan has purchased a large number of new types of weapons and had confidence that this modern weaponry would provide an inevitable victory. At the same time they knew that the Armenian side started major acquisitions, the huge part of which is still underway. If we add the fact that the spending of the Azerbaijani armed forces have been drastically reduced, then it can be assumed that this was the right time for them to try make a “blitzkrieg”.
“The Azerbaijani army simultaneously operated 50 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Through airborne prospecting they attempted to damage the reserve and destroy control system. Of course, they failed.

A criminal case was initiated in General Military Investigative Department on violation of the norms of international humanitarian law provided by international treaties during armed conflicts according to the Part 6 of the Article 390 of Republic of Armenia Criminal Code.
“I see you are interested in peaceful world, I’m speaking from the standpoint of technological initiatives, on account of the fact that industrial initiatives in this regard are of crucial importance as well. Besides, if all people together are for the development of technological initiatives in the world, we just need to walk to the peaceful future. Higher education means best university, and the latter means high civilization and policy. And this leads to adoption of sound domestic and foreign policy posture. Although I’m a scientist, I can speak of war, accordingly, let me speak of this by adopting a scientist’s disposition: in Israel we have 8 million population, but in our free market we have 5000 start-up projects, in case, when Japan has 120 million population and its projects comprise the same amount. I leave conclusions to you…”

Thundering of artilleries were heard from time to time. Positions of the adversary were so close, that it’s already hard to understand, who whom was shooting. We were wandering about the village taking photos of the ruins. The policemen were entering the houses, searching for weapons and documentation there.
