  1. Time to fire constantly. The OSCE doesn’t seem to mind when the Azeri’s do it. And they don’t ever seem to point at the guilty party so it continues on. So, its ok. Start destroying Azeri positions. Do not worry.

  2. I wonder sometimes that Armenian news report accuracy of our killed martyrs. What about Axerbaijani Tatar-Turks??

  3. I am disappointed once more in the loss of three more Artsakh Armenian Soldiers being killed with no backup by the Armenian Government as well as no help by Russia whom is supposed to be protecting our borders against the Turks but no pressure by Russia to have the Azeri’s stop killing our Armenian Soldiers in Artsakh. Also, shame on Armenia for not incorporating our Historical Enclave of Artsakh under it’s wing. Does anyone bring forth that Stalin under the Soviets along with Turkey’s Kemal Attaturk back in 1922 whom were two illegals whom took over their governments are the ones whom took away our historic lands among themseleves to Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, etc. These issues must be brought forward by the Armenian Government to the United Nations.
