STEPANAKERT. – The adversary launched a reconnaissance-sabotage operation in the early morning hours on Thursday, in a northeasterly (Talish village) direction of the Line of Contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that the vanguard units of the Defense Army, however, detected, in timely fashion, this advance by the hostile group, and started a well-organized defense.
As a result of the close battle, the adversary was pushed back leaving behind the corpse of Azerbaijani Armed Forces captain, Naftalan town resident Vaqif Bayramov, who was born in 1979.
This incident once again proves that Azerbaijan not only does not respect the ceasefire agreement that was reached on Tuesday, but also attempts—with provocative actions—to deliberately destabilize the already volatile situation.
