According to the Press Service of the National Assembly of the  Republic of Armenia, the members of the National Council of the Swiss  Confederation, who paid a four-day working visit to Armenia, visited  Jermuk on October 16, which was shelled by the Azerbaijani military  on September 13. The Azerbaijanis, using weapons of various calibers  and ranges, damaged the infrastructure of the resort city. The Jermuk  sanatorium, guest houses, roads were damaged. The Kechut cemetery was  also attacked in order to exert psychological pressure on the local  population.
