David Babayan, the spokesperson of Artsakh president, posted on his Facebook account:
“A spokesman for Nagorno-Karabakh’s leader blamed Azerbaijan for the increased tensions, saying the mortars that hit Alkhanli were fired in response to Azerbaijani shelling.
“In fact, the losses among the civilian population favor the ruling regime in Azerbaijan. Thus, they try to distract the population from internal problems, intoxicate, aggravate the image of the ‘hated enemy’,” David Babayan told The Associated Press.
