YEREVAN, November 8. /TASS/. One civilian died and three more were wounded near the city of Shusha in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of shelling by Azerbaijani troops, Armepress agency reported on Monday citing the National Security Service of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic.

"The National Security Service of Artsakh (unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic — TASS) received reports that around 15:00 local time (14:00 Moscow time) civilians conducting works on a water pipeline at a crossroads near the city of Shusha came under shelling by the Azerbaijani side. As a result, one person died, three more were wounded," it said, adding that a probe is underway.

Renewed clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia erupted on September 27, 2020, with intense battles raging in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. On November 9, 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint statement on a complete ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. Under the document, the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides stopped at the positions that they had held and Russian peacekeepers were deployed along the engagement line in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor that connects Armenia with the enclave to exercise control of the ceasefire observance. Apart from that, several districts came over to Baku’s control.

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
