Stepanakert again called on the international community to recognize  the independence of Artsakh, thereby eliminating the existential  threat over its people

ArmInfo.Continuing unsuccessful attempts to achieve any set military goals and suffer  serious losses in manpower and equipment, the armed forces of  Azerbaijan, under the direct control and command of Turkey, continue  the rapidly increasing intensity of attacks on the civilian  population and civilian infrastructure of the Republic of Artsakh.  This is stated in the statement of the Artsakh Republic Foreign  Ministry.

"The cities of Stepanakert, Shushi, Martakert, Martuni, Adrut and  other communities throughout the republic continue to be subjected to  massive missile strikes and bombings. Continuing attacks on civilians  and civilian objects leave no illusion that the real goal of the  aggressive war unleashed by Azerbaijan and Turkey with the support of  fighters terrorist organizations from the Middle East, is to  exterminate the people of Artsakh in the continuation of the Armenian  Genocide policy.

We emphasize that the countries providing military support to the  triple alliance, in particular the suppliers of offensive weapons and  ammunition that are used against civilians and civilian  infrastructure, undoubtedly bear their share of responsibility for  the ongoing crime against humanity. Particularly egregious is the  fact that the supply of weapons occurs during the evolution of  military aggression, and the entire civilized world has condemned the  use of force and called for an immediate end to hostilities.  We call  on the governments of the relevant countries to stop feeding the  ongoing aggression against Artsakh by two rogue states and  international terrorists, as well as to suspend the supply of weapons  to the criminal triple alliance, and also not to provide their  territory and airspace for military supplies to Azerbaijan and  Turkey.

We once again call on the international community to recognize the  independence of the Republic of Artsakh, which will allow eliminating  the existential threat over the people of Artsakh, stopping the  inhuman aggression against Artsakh and restoring long-term peace and  stability in the South Caucasus years ago, "the NKR Ministry of Trade  and Defense said.
