Azerbaijan wants to take our military posts, and our soldiers aren’t allowing this. The situation is currently peaceful, and there are no gunshots. This is what resident of Shaki village of Syunik Province said during a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“If the Azerbaijanis take our military posts, they will approach us 30 km on ground and 20 km by air. Azerbaijan wants the Meghri corridor. It’s not only Azerbaijan, but also Turkey and Russia. If the corridor is granted, there won’t be peace in not only Armenia, but also the region,” he said.

Azerbaijan hasn’t shot in the direction of Shaki, but the gunshots are heard in the direction of the nearby territories. “They constantly fire gunshots. We follow the news on television at home. We don’t have anywhere else to go. We’re encircled. People can’t focus on their work and start panicking when they hear gunshots,” another resident said.
