Monday was the ninth day of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two countries continue to ignore calls for a ceasefire and Azerbaijan emphasized that Turkey must play its role in ending the conflict.
The State Press Center of Armenia has published a video report showing Azerbaijani artillery firing at the city of Stepanakert. Armenian authorities blame Azerbaijani troops for the civilian population who died on Sunday. The video report shows the buildings in ruins and the rubble that paved the streets.
Al Jazeera correspondent Bernard Smith left Stepanakert last Sunday night for an intense shooting that killed five people.
Representatives of the Armenian Defense Ministry wrote on Twitter that the Azerbaijani armed forces were shooting at Shush and Stepanakert, “fierce clashes are taking place”.
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anna Naghdalyan said on Monday that the Azerbaijani armed forces were constantly firing cluster bombs at Stepanakert.
Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said Armenian armed forces fired at its three cities, Beilagan, Berde and Terter, and last Sunday they fired at the country’s second and fourth largest cities, Ganges and Mingechevyr.
Azerbaijani Assistant President Hikmet Gadzhiev wrote on Twitter that four Tochka ballistic missiles had been fired at Mingechevir, a city of 100,000 inhabitants 100 km from the border with Armenia.
But Shushan Stepanyan, a spokesman for the Armenian Ministry of Defense, denied that Armenia had fired at Mingechevir.
Al Jazeera correspondent Sinem Koseoglu from Mingechevir reported that three missiles had been launched: “Two near the hydroelectric plant. One hit the city center, another near the maternity ward, damaging its building and wounding two civilians.”
According to Koseoglu, the Mingechevir hydroelectric plant supplies electricity to the entire country and Armenia has also threatened to set fire to a large urban water reservoir.
“If it hits the water reservoir, it will flood 14 Azerbaijani cities. Azerbaijanis say the conflict is taking on a different scale, with the use of long-range missiles targeting densely populated cities and strategically important locations. There are catastrophic consequences if the missiles they reach those places, “Koseoglu said.
