Azerbaijan conducted seven diversionary operations so far this year,
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Minister Movses Hakobyan
stated during a press conference on Thursday.
Last year the adversary was able to infiltrate into Karabakh territory
several times. "This year seven such attempts were made and all of them
were prevented on time. Suffering losses, the adversary was forced
to retreat," Hakobyan noted adding that, except for one attempt,
the adversary was unable to cause any losses to the NKR Defense Army.
As per the Minister, Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire in NKR's
direction 12,000 times since the beginning of the year until October
1. It had breached the truce 9,519 times within the same time period
last year. As Hakobyan noted, in the case of firing shots, the Karabakh
side likewise opens retaliatory fire. "The adversary is attempting
to maintain a tense situation at the line of contact," NKR Defense
Minister noted, and added: "I don't know how much they have managed
to raise the spirit of their own army, but they have not achieved
[any] success in other respects."
Movses Hakobyan informed that an analysis has been conducted on the
causes for the NKR Defense Army servicemen being killed by Azerbaijani
snipers. "We have done much work to correct the situation at the line
of contact," the NKR Defense Minister noted.
