    2nd Armenian soldier killed in 2 days over Azeri ceasefire violation

    November 20, 2011 - 17:55 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - On the morning of November 20, at 8.50 am local time,
    NKR defense army soldier Mihran Margaryan, born 1992 was killed over
    Azeri ceasefire violation, while on military duty.

    `The incident at contact line is another proof of Azeri disregard of
    mediators' efforts aimed at conflict settlement and a clear attempt to
    escalate regional tensions, which forces Artsakh side to resort to more
    stringent actions in future,' NKR defense army stated.

    The situation at the contact line between the Nagorno Karabakh and
    Azerbaijanis armed forces remains strained. Over the past week, Azerbaijan
    violated the ceasefire 150 times, firing 1000 shots from various caliber
    weapons, NKR defense army press service reports.

    Special activity at contact line was observed on November 13 and 19 with
    over 500 shots fired, 70 out of which from sniper rifles.

    As a result of ceasefire violation by the Azerbaijani side, 19-year-old NKR
    defense army conscript Armen Simonyan was killed by a sniper shot during
    military duty on November 19, 8.40 am by local time. Investigation is
    underway.Besides, over the past week Azerbaijani drones making
    reconnaissance flights were reported.
