Vahram Poghosyan, Spokesman for the President of the Artsakh Republic, writes: “Early this morning, the enemy started active shelling along the entire line of contact. Peaceful settlements, including the capital Stepnakert, are also being shelled. We call on the population to take refuge.

At the same time, we declare that our response will be proportionate, the entire responsibility for the situation lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan, personally with Ilham Aliyev.”
