Karabakh army "wearing out" Azeri forces in the south of the front

The Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Defense Army units are "wearing out" the Azerbaijani forces, Armenian Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan said on Facebook Monday, October 19.

According to Stepanyan, heavy battles are currently underway in the southern direction of the frontline.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.

Donations can be made to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, which has launched a fundraising campaign to support humanitarian efforts in Karabakh.
