"For several days now, the enemy has been bombing the capital Stepanakert along with other settlements with "Smerch", "Polonez" and other various super modern long-range missile systems", said Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan today. He stressed that various drones are flying over Stepanakert every second, which do not stop shelling the capital.
"Today for the first time by my order the units of the Artsakh Armed Forces fired a rocket at Gandzak. I warned. I am sorry that we hit our historic Gandzak (Ganja), but we hit it because it has become a permanent location for their troops. We hit because they forced it.
Get sober, because we will continue to hit other cities, if necessary, bigger ones. That fire was a warning fire. By the way, I have ordered to stop firing rockets at large cities for some time, giving the enemy time", Harutyunyan said.
The President of Artsakh said that "we will continue the struggle, we are ready to die - to the last person, to the last soldier".
"You started this war, you first of all violated the rules of humanism by targeting the civilian population", the President of the Artsakh Republic stressed.
