Olympic, world, European and European Games champion Artur Aleksanyan posted the following on his Instagram page:

“I would like to draw the attention of all international organizations to the Azerbaijani Armed Forces’ operations in the Tavush Province of Armenia and the threats that the Azerbaijani authorities are making.

The collective newcomers disturb the peace on the state border of Armenia and Azerbaijan several times, the most the cowards can do is to dare to attack secretly and at night.

An army is not determined by number, but by the glorious soldiers who have taken an oath to serve the homeland, lead an unwavering battle and give counterattacks.

I stand with you, boys and men!

I am one of you!

I am the soldier of my HOMELAND.”
