“Fierce battles” took place today on the front line of Nagorno-Karabakh, where soldiers from this autonomous region “managed to stop the large-scale attack” by the Azeri army, according to the Armenian Defense Ministry.
The Nagorno-Karabakh army “has managed to stop the enemy attack on a large scale,” ministry spokeswoman Susan Stepanian said on her Facebook page, noting that “fierce fighting” is currently taking place in many areas of the front. In one of them, “our forces fought back,” Stepanian explained.
Today, violent clashes are taking place for the seventh day between the army of this autonomous region of Azerbaijan, which has the political, economic and military support of the Armeniaand Azerbaijan.
Since hostilities began last Sunday, only a few 191 deaths have been reported: 158 Karabakh soldiers, 14 Armenian civilians and 19 Azeri civilians, as Baku reports no casualties.
Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly Armenian city, separated from Azerbaijan, sparking a war in the early 1990s that killed 30,000 people.
The front has been almost “frozen” since then, although there are regular clashes, as no peace agreement has been signed.
