Territory chief announced Nagorno Karabakh The separatist, today, Thursday, announced that Azerbaijani forces are within a few kilometers of the strategic city of Shusha.
Araik Harutyunyan said in a video posted on Facebook: “The enemy is within a few kilometers of Shusha, five kilometers as a maximum.”
He added that “the main objective of the enemy is to invade Shusha, and whoever controls it controls its stability,” referring to the Armenian name for the region Nagorno Karabakh.
Shusha is located about 15 kilometers from Stepanakert, the main city in this mountainous region, on a road linking the Nagorno Karabakh region with Armenia.
The control of Shusha, which is located on a high altitude, allows targeting the separatist capital.
“In the coming days, the situation on the front should be reversed and the enemy punished directly at the gates of Shusha,” Harutyunyan confirmed in a video clip taken near an Armenian historical cathedral located in this city. He added, “Let us unite and fight together!”
Since the outbreak of the fighting on September 27, Azerbaijani forces have regained lands that have been out of their control since the 1990s, when a war took place between the two sides, which resulted in 30,000 deaths, and led to the secession of the Nagorno Karabakh region, which is predominantly Armenian.
This Armenian-backed region declared its independence after the 1994 war, but it was neither recognized by the international community nor by Armenia.
