Karabakh urges Iran, Russia, Armenia to create counter-terrorism center
PanARMENIAN.Net – The National Assembly of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) has called on Armenia, Russia and Iran to create a center for counter-terrorism coordination to identify and neutralize international terrorists who have penetrated the region, as well as their points of deployment and military bases.
In a statement published Sunday, October 11, the parliament said international terrorists and members of extremist groups from Syria, Iraq, Libya and other countries have been deployed in the region by Turkey, which is openly supporting Azerbaijan’s aggression against Karabakh.
Armenia was the first to report on Turkey’s deployment of thousands of Syrian fighters to Azerbaijan on September 28. International media publications followed suit, as did reaction from France, Russia, Syria and Iran.
Karabakh’s National Assembly called on Russia and Iran to condemn the use by Azerbaijan of international terrorist groups in military aggression against Artsakh.
Armenia, Iran and Russia were also urged to create a joint counter-terrorism coalition for the prompt and effective physical neutralization of terrorists and that have reached the region.
Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey, launched a large-scale offensive against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27, shelling Armenian positions and civilian settlements with large caliber weapons and rocket systems. Armenia and Karabakh have introduced martial law and total mobilization. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. International and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages, as well as the iconic Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi. Before a humanitarian ceasefire could begin on October 10, Azerbaijan launched a new offensive and struck settlements both in Karabakh and Armenia.

Karabakh will ask Armenia and the world’s recognition if Azerbaijan violates ceasefire
PanARMENIAN.Net – Nagorno-Karabakh President Arayik Harutyunyan has said he will ask Armenia and all countries of the world to recognize Artsakh (Karabakh), if Azerbaijan fails to fulfill commitments under a humanitarian ceasefire agreement reached on October 9.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, October 11, Harutyunyan said Artsakh cannot accept conditions from a country whose goal is to eradicate the people, the millennial culture and history of Karabakh’s Armenians.
According to him, he will appeal to the world to recognize his country’s independence if he doesn’t see Azerbaijan’s readiness for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the next one or two days.
“We’ll have a list of all the countries that respect human rights, international law, the right of nations to self-determination, and another one with countries that support international terrorism,” Harutyunyan said.
The shelling of Stepanakert and other settlements throughout the night showed that the humanitarian ceasefire is not working, though he said the situation is relatively calm in the morning.
Harutyunyan said if the ceasefire agreement is not honored in the coming days, it will mean Azerbaijan will accept a ceasefire only when forced by long-term heavy losses.
“They want a long war, they have chosen that path, we will not reject a war that has been imposed on us,” he added.
Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey, launched a large-scale offensive against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27, shelling Armenian positions and civilian settlements with large caliber weapons and rocket systems.

Karabakh leader: Israel aware Azeris using its weapons to attack Armenians
-In 2019, Israel’s Defense Ministry suspended the export licenses of three senior officials from aircraft manufacturer Aeronautics Ltd. for testing one of its “suicide drones” against the Armenian military in 2017 at the behest of its client Azerbaijan in violation of Israeli law.
PanARMENIAN.Net – Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) President Arayik Harutyunyan has said that Israel is “certainly” aware of Azerbaijan’s use of Israeli weapons to attack the Armenian troops and civilians.
Israel appears to continue shipping advanced weapons systems to Azerbaijan even throughout the war, local media reports show. When contacted by PanARMENIAN.Net Israel’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the country’s defense exports.
“During the April War in 2016, not only did the Israeli authorities know that Azerbaijan was using their weapons to attack, but experts from Israel were handling those weapons back then,” Harutyunyan told briefing on Sunday, October 11 morning.
“So if Israel says they had no idea, that’s another mockery of humanity. They are most definitely aware and continue shipments today.”
The Karabakh President said the authorities of Israel – representatives of a nation that has gone through a genocide – are too responsible for the genocide being perpetrated against the Armenians of Artsakh by Azerbaijan and Turkey.
“Money runs the world. And Israel’s actions are evidence that they violete the values of humanity and those of God for money,” Harutyunyan added.
