YEREVAN, JUNE 19, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani forces have again opened cross-border gunfire at a U.S.-affiliated steel mill construction site in the Armenian village of Yeraskh, the ministry of defense said Monday.

“On June 19, at 1:25 p.m., the units of the Azerbaijani AF opened fire from different caliber small arms targeting the metallurgical plant in Yeraskh, which is being built with foreign investment,” the Ministry of Defense of Armenia said in a statement.

The construction site was again targeted by Azeri forces last week, resulting in two Indian workers getting shot and wounded.

“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
