This is a war of attrition which Armenia cannot afford to sustain. I presume that the leaders of Armenia are under orders from Russia not to attack. What we as a people need is the will to act and to properly demand conditions. The NK region should be recognised by Armenia. We are going to be demonised anyway. The international community will always call us an occupier and take the other’s side. So we might as well retaliate in kind.
So where are the Russians, Armenia’s security pact partner?
Armenian serviceman was killed by Azerbaijani fire on the eastern direction (Martuni) of the Line of Contact (LoC) in Artsakh. Russians have defense agreements with the Republic of Armenia.
John,
Yes, Russia has a treaty obligation to come to Armenia’s defense only IF Armenia is in serious trouble and Yerevan officially asks for military assistance. Moscow will not respond to cross-border skirmishes that take place periodically between Armenia and Azerbaijan. That said, please realize that Moscow covers Armenia’s western border with Turkey, giving Yerevan the freedom to concentrate all its resources on a more manageable threat on Armenia’s eastern border with Azerbaijan.
seems to me, that Axeri dictator wants to get closer to Stepanakert as much as possible, if Artsakhi army do not respond a crushing respond ASAP!
I suggest that couples preparing to marry identify to guests the opportunity to donate to the heroes and their families. One of many such funds is created by The Paros Foundation of Berkeley.
It will make the donors feel better than buying the couple a gravy boat.
I am sure our political and military leaders know what is going on and how to deal with it. They must be under great pressure in resisting an all out retaliatory attack for good reasons. But the loss of Armenian lives is very concerning and should be avoided any way possible while maintaining secure borders. Ours should be a tactical approach, adapting to the situation as necessary. Our soldiers on the LoC should be given any body armour and protection that is possible, regardless of cost. This should be our priority at the moment. Every time the Azeris break the peace they should receive severe punishment to discourage such further actions. Also we need to double our efforts in detecting UAVs and destroying them. That’s the only way the Azeris will learn to leave us in peace.
why r u talking like that….you armenians occupied our land Nk region and now u call us as a invader?!you say lie yourselves….world is beside us couse they know reality….ok we want peace with giving back the part of our country otherwise we are always ready for war….
