Now, there is some tension, as compared with the situation a week ago.
The Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic/NKR) Defense Minister and Defense Army Commander, Levon Mnatsakanyan, stated the abovementioned at a press conference on Tuesday. He noted this reflecting on the Azerbaijani armed forces’ firing of Spike anti-tank guided missiles twice on Monday.
He noted that this tension is due to Azerbaijan’s violation of the ceasefire, and recalled that a serviceman was killed by an Azerbaijani sniper on October 19.
Mnatsakanyan added that tension along the line of contact may gradually increase.
“We have already informed that if such strikes [by Azerbaijan] occur later on [as well], there will be a response,” said the NKR defense minister. “We will meet with representatives of the OSCE Minsk Group in the coming days, and we will discuss the created situation.”
