Asbarez: Azerbaijani Forces Open Sporadic Fire in Artsakh’s Martuni Region

Artsakh's Karmir Shuka was targeted by Azerbaijani forces

Azerbaijani forces opened sporadic fire directed at the Karmir Shuka village in Artsakh’s Martuni region, Suren Sargsyan, a spokesperson for Artsakh’s Defense Ministry told Artsakhpress on Tuesday.

“According to preliminary data, no casualties have been reported,” Sargsyan said, adding that the Russian Peacekeeping command had been notified.

It was in the Karmir Shuka region that on Tuesday, Azerbaijani forces, accompanied by Russian peacekeepers, returned the remains of 11 people who were killed during last year’s Artsakh War.

The remains will be identified through forensic examinations, according to Artsakh’s Emergency Situations State Services.

Remains of 1,697 Armenians—including civilians—have been confirmed as a result of search operations and exchange of dead bodies since November 13, 2020.

Emil Lazarian: “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
