ArmInfo. For almost a week now, the people of Artsakh and the people of Armenia have resisted a large-scale Azerbaijani-Turkish terrorist attack. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in his address to the Armenians.
According to him, the scale of the attack is unprecedented. The enemy is attacking on a scale that, according to military experts, in the 21st century has not often happened in any country in the world. Hundreds of tanks and combat vehicles, thousands of shells and missiles, dozens of planes, hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles and tens of thousands of people following them have been attacking the positions of the Artsakh Defense Army along the entire confrontation line for one week.
Nikol Pashinyan noted that the analysis of the previous day showed that one position of the Artsakh Defense Army is attacked by 150-200 enemy soldiers.
Moreover, such attacks are repeated several times during the day, accompanying them with rocket and artillery shelling and the use of armored vehicles and UAVs. According to the testimony of the Armenian military personnel, in addition to the Azerbaijani armed units, Syrian mercenaries and terrorists, and special Turkish units are involved in the hostilities. According to the Armenian side, about 150 high-ranking Turkish military are at various command posts, leading the hostilities. This, according to the prime minister, should testify to the heavy fighting going on on the front lines. For a week now, units of the Artsakh Defense Army, detachments of volunteers have been fighting for life and death on the sacred land of Artsakh. At the moment, there are already numerous casualties, both military and civil. A large number of military equipment was out of order, but the enemy did not manage to solve a single military-strategic problem. The heroism shown by soldiers, officers and generals is unprecedented. Our soldiers do not spare anything, demonstrating examples of unparalleled heroism. Today, on the battlefields, there are hundreds of destroyed enemy military equipment, dozens of aircraft and helicopters, hundreds of UAVs, and enemy casualties exceed several thousand people. And today heavy fighting continues in various sectors of the front line. In some areas, the units of the Defense Army are in a difficult situation, in others they are confidently controlling the situation.
"Dear compatriots, dear brothers and sisters, we live in the most crucial period in the last millennium. The Azerbaijani-Turkish attack is not only a military or military-political issue that they pursue, they came not only for Karabakh, not only for territories, villages and cities, their goal is Armenians and the continuation of the policy of genocide, '' the head of the Armenian government said , adding that today's Armenians are no longer the exiles of Der-Dzor. He became convinced of this when he spoke on the phone the night before with the commanders of the defensive areas, division commanders, with officers, warrant officers and soldiers.
He also stressed that the Armenian people faced a new Sardarapat. And the Armenian people must achieve their goal, whose name is Victory, and each of us must be ready to be at the forefront of this victory. "And we will win, we will definitely win, and let no one doubt it," the RA Prime Minister said
