Azerbaijani forces committed more than 55 ceasefire violations on the LoC on the night of Jan. 22-23. According to the NKR Defense Ministry, Azerbaijani forces employed large-caliber firearms, 82-mm mortars, and sniper rifles to fire some 800 shots.
NKR Defense Army troops retaliated and protecting their positions according to the Ministry statement.
Another precious Armenian young life is lost.
This carnage, ceasefire violations, disregard to human life ,has to stop.
It is simply flabbergasting that members of the Minsk group incompetently continue their deafening silence and do not take a forceful stand against the Azeri transgression s to put a stop to it.
What the hell is wrong with them?
Artsakh has no choice- It has to respond and react. No one seems to care- The destiny of Artsahk is in the hands of the Government and The Ministry of Defence.
Please, please, pleas, take action.

May God bless his soul, for this young brave Armenian soldier!
