MI-24 crew return internationally praiseworthy act to silence enemy
15:13 * 22.11.14
The Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army's special military operations to
recover the dead bodies of the downed Armenian helicopter's crew
constituted a brilliantly organized act deserving an international
attention, says a spokesperson of Armenia's Ministry of Defense.
"Against the backdrop of the extremely large-scale counteractions by
the adversary in the form of fire and other [attacks], these
operations were unprecedented in character and complexity. The
performance was simply brilliant in light of the non-trivial losses by
the adversary, who had prepared a trap. In the couple of few days to
come, we will be hearing the names of those who may naturally have
died in different casualties. The Nagorno-Karabakh special forces
demonstrated a striking result on their [professional] holiday. Glory
to them! It was an internationally praiseworthy brilliant act
silencing the black cannons," Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote in Facebook.
The Armed Forces of Nagorno-Karabak had to launch special operations
on Saturday to access the crash site of the downed MI-24 helicopter
for pulling out the crewmembers' bodies.
Speaking to Tert.am, the Defense Army's Commander Movses Hakobyan said
he expects the operations to raise the military's efficiency. "A
soldier of the Nagorno-Karabakh army is always in a high fighting
spirit," he said.
Tert.am's sources say that the defense authorities of the two Armenian
republics are now considering the place and the procedures of the
martyred crewmembers' funeral.
The special operations by the Nagorno-Karabakh Armed Forces were a
reaction to the calls voiced by the OSCE Minsk Group in a recent
statement, said Styopa Safaryan, the president of the Armenian
Institute of International and Security Affairs (AIISA).
"The situation is very much similar to the early-1990's, with the
international community repeatedly making calls for ensuring a
humanitarian corridor for the Nagorno-Karabakh people or ceasing the
military operations," he told Tert.am, citing a corresponding
resolution by the UN Security Council.
The pilots on board the crashed helicopter were Major Sergey Sahakyan,
Senior lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan and Lieutenant Azat Sahakyan. All
three have been honored with posthumous awards.
