YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: By the decision of the administration of the administrative region, the women and children of the border village of Khramort in Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] did not return to the village yesterday either, as safety is not ensured [yet].
We learned from Artsakh sources that the men of the village, together with the [Artsakh] Defense Army and Russian peacekeepers, have been brought to combat-readiness, positioned in the area of the village—ready to resist possible provocations by the Azerbaijanis.
Also, group of Artsakh MPs visited Khramort in the afternoon to express support to the people of Khramort. One of them conveyed to us that the mood of the men of Khramort was more combative yesterday than in the previous days. "The presence of women, children was constraining for some actions," he said.
Let us recall that due to the provocations being carried out by the Azerbaijani armed forces in recent days, the women and children of the village have temporarily been transferred from Khramort community of Askeran region to other settlements. As of yesterday, it was not clear when they would return to the village. The thing is that the positional advantage of the Azerbaijanis has put the people of Khramort under the direct fire of the adversary; and being on the hill, the Azerbaijanis are shooting at the village as a target.
