ANKARA, December 28. /TASS/. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry asserted on Monday that shooting in the Hadrut district is a ceasefire violation.

"Attacks upon Azerbaijan’s Armed Forces by Armenian elements who refused to lay down the arms and retreat in Nagorno-Karabakh are an obvious violation of a ceasefire established by the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement," the press release said.

Earlier on Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh will check reports of shooting in the Hadrut district. At the same time, according to the ministry, the ceasefire regime is observed along the entire line of engagement.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
