YEREVAN. – Special operation by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the crash site of the downed helicopter lasted several days, a source told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

 The operation was complicated by the fact that the parts of helicopter fuselage were scattered over a large territory.

“The Azerbaijani side denies the fact of special operation and, of course, denies the losses, but in reality the opponent suffered heavy losses,” a source said.

The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (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. But the remains of these three military servicemen plus some necessary parts of the chopper were removed from the helicopter’s crash site through a special operation by the NKR armed forces.
