YEREVAN. – The removal of the bodies of the pilots of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Air Force helicopter, which the adversary had shot down, is not joy, but rather a slight recovery of honor.

Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party Spokesperson Davit Sanasaryan, who is also a member of the opposition “Barev [Hello], Yerevan” faction at the capital city Yerevan Council, has commented the aforesaid in his Facebook account.

Sanasaryan was on a sit-in and a hunger strike outside the OSCE Office in Yerevan since Monday, and with a demand for the international community to take concrete actions for the return of the aforementioned three pilots.

“We have the remains of the boys. Eternal glory to them, resilience to the relatives, high spirit to the soldiers, [and] thanks to our intelligence [agencies],” the opposition member wrote.

The remains of these three military servicemen were removed from the helicopter’s crash site through a special operation by the NKR armed forces.

The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down an NKR Air Force helicopter on November 12. The chopper was downed during a training flight, and it crashed very close to the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of Contact. As a result, three pilots were killed: the commander of the helicopter, Major Sergey Sahakyan, as well as Senior Lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan and Lieutenant Azat Sahakyan. The adversary, on the other hand, was firing intensive shots toward the crash site, thus, not allowing access to the area.
