ArmInfo. The attack on Ganja was a warning to the Azerbaijani authorities. Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan stated this in his address to compatriots on October 4.
He stressed that for several days the enemy has been shelling the capital of Artsakh, Stepanakert, from "tornadoes", "polonaises" and other modern long-range missile systems. Unmanned aerial vehicles appear over the city every minute. "In response to these actions, today for the first time I gave an order to launch a missile strike on Ganja, since we were forced. Wake up, because if necessary, these strikes will continue," the head of the Artsakh said.
He added that he gave the order to stop the shelling to give the enemy time to think. <Stay away from civilians. It was you who started the war, violating the norms of humanitarian law, making civilians a target, " said Arayik Harutyunyan.
He noted that the Armenian soldiers, everyone, to the last are ready to die for the sake of the Motherland. This is a holy patriotic war, which requires uniting the forces of the people around the authorities, since today, as never before, the role of the authorities of the Republic of Armenia is high.
The Artsakh President expressed confidence that the Aliyev family will be punished for this crime. The people of Azerbaijan fell victim to their rulers. Therefore, it is necessary to fight with a united front against the Azerbaijani authorities.
