On 8 November, at 3:00 pm, at the intersection near the entrance to the city of Shushi in the Artsakh Republic, the Azerbaijani side fired at civilians carrying out construction works on water supply pipes, as a result of which 4 civilians were injured, one of whom the 22-year-old E.M, died, three (41-year-old S.A., 31-year-old M.G., and 43-year-old D.G.) are receiving medical treatment. The condition of the injured is assessed by doctors as moderate.

Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan informs about this.

Relevant works are being carried out by the law enforcement bodies to find out the circumstances of the incident, due to which the traffic in the Shushi section of the Stepanakert-Berdzor road section has been stopped for a short time.

The recorded incident is another proof of the Anti-Armenian, genocidal and fascist behavior of the Azerbaijani side towards the Armenian people, about which we have stated many times since the signing of the trilateral statement.

Azerbaijani arbitrariness and impunity must be stopped, which is possible by investigating the criminal actions of the Azerbaijani side, and by introducing clear mechanisms to bring the perpetrators to justice.
