ArmInfo. Against the background of the turbulent events of recent days in the country, the incident that took place at one of the combat positions of the Artsakh Defense Army, not far from Shushi, faded into the background. Tigran Abrahamyan, a former adviser to the President of Nagorno-Karabakh, an opposition MP from the "I Have Honor" bloc, wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"If on the day of the incident the Defense Army reported that the Armenian soldier had received a fatal gunshot wound" under unknown circumstances, then yesterday the Investigative Committee clarified that the soldier died from an enemy bullet, "the MP stated, adding that, according to the investigation, the fire was fired from 5-7 meters, which means that there was a sabotage operation.
"This part of the contact line is quite dangerous, the distance between the positions is small, nevertheless, but we have a casualty due to the exchange of fire that took place at a short distance. I have repeatedly said and I repeat today that, despite the fact that our servicemen are responsible for serving in rather difficult conditions on the front line, we must radically change the approach to combat duty. Time is working against us - it is not even subject to discussion, "Abrahamyan said.
It should be noted that the day before yesterday the Artsakh IC presented details of the death of a conscript soldier of the Artsakh Defense Army Gor Martirosyan near Shushi.
According to the investigative body, Gor Martirosyan was killed by an adversary near the former Noyan Tapan hotel in Shushi. "The friends moved a little from their position, to uncontrolled territory, near Shushi, to the former Noyan Tapan hotel. There they noticed the enemy's movement. A friend of Gor Martirosyan offered to return to his position, but Gor refused, the IC said, adding that it is not yet known from which side they fired first, but Gor died from a gunshot wound to the head, while the enemy had no losses.
The IC believes that either the Azerbaijani servicemen fired at close range, or he was killed by a sniper shot. "The Azerbaijani servicemen invaded the neutral territory, their appearance was a surprise, because the position of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces is quite far from this territory, they do not descend from this position," the IC reported, adding that a criminal case was initiated on points 7 , 13 part 2 of article 104 of the Criminal Code (murder committed by a group of persons or an organized group on the basis of national, racial or religious hatred).
