YEREVAN, MARCH 27, ARMENPRESS. Workers at a pomegranate garden in a Nagorno Karabakh town came under Azeri gunfire Monday morning, local authorities said.

No casualties were reported after Azerbaijani military units opened small arms fire from combat outposts at "workers who were carrying out agricultural activities in a pomegranate garden" in Martakert, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Nagorno Karabakh said in a statement.

The agricultural work was suspended.

Nagorno Karabakh police said they’ve notified the Russian peacekeepers on the shooting.

“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
