At least 8 Azeri soldiers killed in Karabakh’s punitive action: ArmeniaJune 28, 2017 - 17:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At least eight Azeri soldiers were killed during the 10 days that followed Azerbaijan’s provocations on the line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh, Armenian defense minister Vigen Sargsyan told a press conference on Wednesday, June 28. Sargsyan added that the number of unconfirmed losses is even bigger as the Armenian side is sometimes unable to obtain relevant evidence after successfully carrying out punitive steps. “According to the information we have, none of those eight soldiers have been buried so far,” the minister said. “Azerbaijani media haven’t been reporting on the matter, and this is all we need to know about our rival.” As a result of Azerbaijan’s sabotage on the contact line on June 16-17, four servicemen of the Karabakh Defense Army were killed. Also, the defense minister ruled out the resumption of a large-scale war, stating that the Karabakh conflict cannot be settled through hostilities.
