"The foundation is laid for the final victory of the Karabakh army"
- You have returned from Nagorno-Karabakh. What is the situation there now?
- I was in Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. Stepanakert is under rocket fire almost around the clock, and, of course, civilians suffer there. And it goes beyond all limits. You understand, if Azerbaijan insists that Nagorno-Karabakh is a part of it, and they really think that Karabakh and Azerbaijanis can live with each other, then it turns out that they are destroying their own cities. Let's try to understand the train of thought of [Azerbaijani President] Ilham Aliyev. Does he think he will bomb Stepanakert, and after that the Karabakh people will live within Azerbaijan? This approach once again emphasizes that Nagorno-Karabakh cannot and will never be a part of Azerbaijan. This has already been ruled out. 100%. And this is proved by the actions of Azerbaijan.
Destruction and shell craters. What Stepanakert looks like after shelling
- In recent days, Azerbaijan has been announcing its successes at the front, in particular, the capture of several villages on the line of contact. It's true?
“If we take into account the information that comes today from early morning, we can say that the idea of ??the Karabakh military leaders worked - they took tactical steps in the south, left the corridor and lured the Azerbaijani military corps there. Literally in these seconds, this corps receives crushing blows. And I think this will be the key moment of the whole operation. In these minutes, according to my information, a real foundation is being laid for the final victory of the Karabakh army.
- Why do you say that
- I say this because the commanders of the Karabakh, Armenian had a plan: to retreat in the direction of Jebrail and lure there large forces of the Azerbaijani army. Yesterday evening they entered there in large, very large forces, and this morning a crushing blow has been directed at them, and the operation is proceeding extremely successfully.
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. What is important to know
- Is there any data on the losses of the Azerbaijani side?
- Yes, there is data, there is already an official statement from the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, and it is very important that a lot of equipment came there from Azerbaijan. Most of them were destroyed or simply abandoned by the fleeing Azerbaijanis.
