Karabakh army spokesman extends condolences over Azeri deaths

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan on Tuesday, July 4 violated the ceasefire on the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) using various caliber mortars and even employed a TR-107 rocket engine in the south of the frontline. Artsakh Defense Army opened retaliatory fire. During the incident two civilians - a 52-year-old woman and 2-year-old girl from Azerbaijan’s side - were killed.

Karabakh army spokesman Senor Hasratyan expressed condolences to the families of the victims in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

“No child is an enemy, especially a two-year-old one. But sometimes a kid may die because of cowardly and brainless people,” Hasratyan said.

“Unlike our neighbors, we are compelled to register this fact and express condolences. Consider this as a personal opinion.”
