The Azerbaijani armed forces which entered Armenia in the direction of Nerkin Hand village have not caused any difficulties for life in the village, as they are far from the village. Nerkin Hand village mayor Khachatur Baghdasaryan told about this to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

"The Azerbaijani armed forces are located far from the village, our Ministry of Defense has deployed positions in front of them," he said.

Baghdasaryan noted that there is no emigration in the village, and the locals are not afraid and are engaged in agricultural work.

To note, Sputnik Armenia website had reported that the Azerbaijani armed forces advanced 9 square kilometers, or about 900 hectares, into Armenia—in the direction of Nerkin Hand village. In addition, the Azerbaijani positions are located on the dominant hills, and this enables to monitor more territory.

“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
