Well-known analyst on the South Caucasus Thomas de Waal is convinced that Azerbaijan was the first to launch hostilities on the Artsakh-Azerbaijani line of contact, as Armenia has no motive to start a war. As reported by “Armenpress”, Waal said this in an interview with “Ahval” agency.
“The Armenian side won the war in the 1990s, they have the territory they want. “Their motive is to regulate the status quo,” Waal said.
Thomas de Waal added that for several reasons, Azerbaijan believes that hostilities will bring it victory.
Early in the morning of September 27, Azerbaijan started active shelling along the line of contact. Peaceful settlements, including the capital Stepanakert, are also being shelled. The population was called to take refuge. Stepanakert stated that the answer will be proportionate, “the entire responsibility for the situation lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan, personally Ilham Ali.” The Defense Army stops the enemy’s actions with strong blows. According to verified information, the enemy has about 200 casualties, about 30 dozen armored vehicles, about two dozen ATS and other equipment. There are casualties among the civilian population of Artsakh, one woman and one child were killed in the Martuni region.
According to preliminary data, the Armenian side has 16 victims and more than 100 wounded. A state of war has been declared in Armenia և in Artsakh ահ mobilization.
If Aliyev and HerrDogÂne are not stopped, there will be a Third World War‼️
They call it dirty Politics!
For. Me it is totally absurd that Armenia should start a war just now when all countries are busy with Corona virus
My opinion is that Armenia is a peaceful country
I have lived in Armenia back and forth for 15 years
Armenia is the most peaceful country I have visited
The Europeans are prostitutes. They think they need Azerbaijan’s oil.
Europe criticizes America on many issues such as military aggression for economic gain, oil, etc. But they don’t acknowledge their own actions and hypocrisy. The EU inked a 20-year deal with Brazil to supply cheap palm oil to the EU. Palm oil… one of the most environmentally destructive crops and one that results in clear-cutting the Amazon rain forest and contributing measurably to global climate change.
Europe is controlled by the same globalists (you can figure out who they are) as the people they criticize.
European civilization must condemn Turkey, why has Europe gotten so weak ?
Europe has always guided by its own benefits; it isn’t weakness,, it is selfishness
Yes it’logic. No need for Armenians for this war, else for Azeri leasership and Erdogan. The fact that a Nato member supports and shouts out involment for Azeri is not a good sign for Europe and no reaction will be fatal to Nato it’s self.
