YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 10, ARMENPRESS. There haven’t been any incidents in the line of contact of the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides from December 2020 until now, the Defense Minister of Armenia Vagharshak Harutyunyan told lawmakers in parliament on February 10. 

“Since December until now, we don’t have any fatality at the line of contact, we have one wounded in Shushi,” he said. “Ceasefire violation happened, but not directed at our positions. They [Azeri military] shot in the air. We are recording all cases, if it happens in the Nagorno Karabakh section we convey it to the peacekeeping forces,” Harutyunyan said.

Harutyunyan says he has raised the issue of the Azeri irregular gunfire during his meeting with the Commander of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno Karabakh Lt. General Rustam Muradov.

“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
