AZERBAIJAN MAKES BEWILDERING STATEMENT ON ARMENIAN CHOPPER'S DOWNING
12:13, 19.11.2014
Azerbaijani officials seem to be continuing to compete with one another
as to who will make the most controversial statement in connection
with Azerbaijan's unprecedented aggression against the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Air Force helicopter.
Within the past one week since the chopper's downing, the Azerbaijani
side has put forward a variety of hypotheses--including, the helicopter
was "trying to attack," and it was "attacking," on the Azerbaijani
positions--as to why it had shot this helicopter down.
But Samad Seyidov, Head of the Azerbaijani delegation to the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), surpassed them
all. According to him, the helicopter was "assaulting on Azerbaijani
civilians."
So, what remains for us is to guess what the "civilians" were doing at
the military positions.
The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down an
NKR Air Force helicopter on November 12. The chopper was downed during
a training flight, and it crashed nearby the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line
of Contact. As a result, three pilots are believed to have been
killed: the commander of the helicopter, Major Sergey Sahakyan, as
well as Senior Lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan and Lieutenant Azat
Sahakyan. Information was disseminated some time thereafter, however,
that a member of the helicopter crew may still be alive. There were no
weapons in the chopper. The adversary, on the other hand, continues to
fire intensive shots toward the crash site, thus, not allowing access
to the area.
