In the first night of the April 2, Azerbaijan launched a major military offensive against the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. This irrational attack occurred while the day before, President Ilham Aliyev gave in Washington fallacious pledges of good will to John Kerry, US Secretary of State.
For the first time since the cease-fire of 1994, the attack of Azerbaijan has mobilized assaults tanks, combat helicopters, drones and even Grad missiles that targeted the cities of Nagorno-Karabakh and caused casualties among civilians, including children. The attack has been contained and even pushed back so that the dictator Baku accepted the principle of a cease-fire that contrasts with his previous statements and martial that sounds like an admission of defeat. With more than 200 dead, about twenty tanks destroyed and no territorial gain, this inept offensive has indeed shown especially military weakness of Azerbaijan.
