Air siren wailing in #Stepanakert. Video taken from the open-air cafe, I always go when visiting #Karabakh.
Streets empty, people are in basements under air strike.

This woman's father, husband, brother and son are at front line. They are safe and brave. It's a war. We are going to win like in previous war, she says.

Official of #Azerbaijan complains of #Karabakh strike, that eventually hit also civilian district near Ganja airport zone - hypocrisy, considering days long heavy shelling of #Stepanakert, #Martakert, #Martuni, #Hadrut - lots of other #Karabakh settlements by #Azerbaijan army.

A fake from #Azerbaijan says, Ganja is away from war zone, must not be targeted.
Guys, #Karabakh is away from Azerbaijan, has nothing to do w/ Azerbaijan, and must not be targeted first of all. Or you want war, but complain it eventually targets your cities too? Weak point.

#Artsakh President @Pres_Artsakh says, he commanded to hit several missiles against military objects located in Ganja, #Azerbaijan. Now fire is stopped to prevent casualties among civilians.

#Aliyev claims they captured Jabrail. #Armenia|n side denies it.
No matter what, intense attack in South is I think the main objective. We must prevent them advance to reach #Armenia border. My point - #Karabakh is just a pretext to unite w/ Nakhichevan & #Turkey for #Azerbaijan

Along w/ dozens of media reports, footage, people killed & wounded resulted by #Azerbaijan shelling civilian areas across entire #Karabakh, Azeri defense ministry says, their do not target civilian areas. They call on ppl to leave. They need to have Karabakh w/ no population.

* #Azerbaijan intensely shells #Stepanakert & #Shushi civilians to spread panic. To neutralize press, they staged rocket, nicely inserted into asphalt to say #Karabakh does the same to them. I'm we wouldn't waste rockets to shoot strategically unimportant areas

IMPORTANT:
* We must prevent arms sales to #Azerbaijan by all means. Support of our diaspora is of greatest importance here. Key players here are #Turkey, #Israel and #Georgia.
* Support to Azerbaijan must be condemned at all governmental & NGOs levels. Use all ways to help.

This is what's happening in #Karabakh now. A precious illustration by John Tiedeman.

#Azebaijan media spreading video of #Karabakh soldiers loading bodies of #Azerbaijan soldiers into truck, kicking several times half-naked bodies, pulling up an ear to show face. All the action is disgusting sure, but need to note:
* No mutilation of bodies occur,unlike…

when in 2016 #AprilWar dozens of Armenian soldiers were beheaded, ears cut and so on. Fact presented in #Artsakh Ombudsman report karabakhfacts.com/wp-content/upl…
* Action takes place without knowledge of commanders, just three soldiers in the truck, dragging the bodies for some time,

* Bodies have been lying here for days, since Azerbaijan failed to provide truce, for sides to take their bodies from battlefield, hasn't stopped attacks around the front-line, though formally both sides declared readiness for a short break. Now as I see that, Karabakh side has

to pic up & take away all the semi-decomposed bodies somehow, and that's what they do here.

Anyway, I believe every single soldier in the army has to be trained how not to treat a dead body of the rival. And commanders has to do that asap.

Amid break in #Karabakh battles & Russian interference, #Azerbaijan Defense minister orders to continue attacks.

If the truce is really achieved, then this is for local ppl to show readiness to continue. Otherwise they keep on resisting, sending messages to Moscow.

IMPORTANT:
Report as fake, please!
Fake page of #Artsakh defense army commander Jalal Harutyunyan registered in Twitter.

Meanwhile, #Azerbaijan Defense Minister says, he ordered to continue attacks.
Turkey says, they are ready for talks w/ Moscow over #Karabakh.

I.e. they involve Turkey as full scale party in talks, playing good & bad officer game. Like Aliyev refuses to stop fights, Turkey not.

Russian Vesta war journalists group, allegedly tied to Russia govt, reports of planning a massive attack on terrorists camps in Syria, recruiting them to #Azerbaijan for war against #Karabakh. Locations were revealed after Russia announced reward for any info.

About Jabrail:

* Aleksander Kots says, Jabrail was neutral zone in the morning, than recaptured by #Karabakh army.
* Artsakh Defence Army now reports, #Azerbaijan with additional reserves launches attack in South direction.

"Nusra was when Christian villages in Syria were devastated in a night, when 60y.o #Armenia|n woman Suzan Der Kirkur was raped by group of militants for 9 hours, then stoned her to death…"

What I don't like in this war is
1. Threats like we can destroy this or that in an hour. Go & destroy, if you have military task. If not, stay calm & drink Coca Cola.
2. Ppl at homes, calling army to hit this or that location. Like calling guys in your neighborhood how to fight

w/ other guys, while watching all thru your window. Go to General Staff, share thoughts there if they are that valuable. If not, let armies do what they are meant for. Both sides are ready for war, though we don't obviously want that, unlike Azerbaijan. If war, than let it be so.

Today 2nd #FakeNews of from #HaqqinAz:
They claim Pashinyan's assistant says "Our task is to hit civilian population of Azerbaijan". No video attached.

In original video, Pashinyan's assistant says "THEIR task is to hit civilians to spread panic"

My favorite from #HaqqinAz: in 2016 #AprilWar claimed letter appeared online (!), as if Karabakh MoD letter to ArmMoD w/ 7 mistakes (!) on official letterhead (!), says Armenians in panic flee from advancing Azerbaijan army:)
And they think it doesn't affect credibility in future

#Azerbaijan #KarabakhWar

#Azerbaijan recruited hundreds #AlNusta terrorists to fight against #Karabakh. When confirmed, accused other side in doing the same, while only Syrians who according to videos joined are some Armenian refugees from Syria war, once migrated to Armenia, now joining homeland troops.

Then #Azerbaijan started using cluster bombs against civilian population of #Karabakh. And when confirmed, accuses Armenia in doing the same,while #Armenia|ns don't even have the Israeli bombs they show.
It's good they have such "propaganda Gods" in service of Aliyev's ambitions.

Even after Russian Intelligence head accusations of Jihadists fighting in #Karabakh, they try to present it like "He didn't mention which side jihadists fight".
It's marvelous to watch ppl who may believe just 1% possibility that jihadists may join Christian Armenian troops:)
