"The shootings are not against soldiers, but rather against the
public," says Jamalyan.
An Armenian military psychologist, member of the Public Council at
Ministry of Defense of Armenia, believes that the sniper shootings
from the Azeri side at the Karabakh-Azerbaijan line of contact have
a political context in that the Azeri side wants to keep Armenians
in tension, and make them concede.
"The shootings are not against soldiers, but they are rather against
the public. The panic is less in the line of contact, soldiers put
up with irregular shootings easily and there is even a military
psychological term - adaptation under conditions of danger," said
military psychologist Davit Jamalyan, at a press conference on Tuesday.
More than 15 cases of ceasefire violation were registered in different
sections of the Karabakh-Azerbaijan troops' line of contact in the
early hours of November 1 and throughout the day, press service of
Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Defense reports.
According to Jamalyan, with the shootings Azerbaijan tries to show
the international community that it does not agree with the recent
developments over the Karabakh issue.
"Azeri mass media preaches that the Armenian side violates the
ceasefire regime all the time, and they respond to the shootings in
their turn. This is one of the elements of anti-Armenian propaganda,"
the military psychologist says. "If caution and security rules were
obeyed on the border, we would not have victims."
