State Minister of the Artsakh Republic (Nagorno-Karabakh) Artak Beglaryan reports that he visited the Stepanakert Military Hospital and the Republican Medical Center, presenting information on the health condition of the wounded servicemen in Artsakh.
“As reported by the Defense Army, on the evening of October 14, the Azerbaijani armed forces opened fire on a military base of the Defense Army located on the eastern border of the Artsakh Republic, as a result of which six servicemen were wounded.
I urge everyone to refrain from spreading disinformation and the temptation to become a source of ‘scandalous’ information. There are no other wounded or victims except the six mentioned. There were six servicemen at the base at the time, all of whom were wounded. And three people were out of the base, they were not injured.
Together with the Minister of Health, I visited the Stepanakert Military Hospital and the Republican Medical Center, followed by the medical services. I'm still there. After some research, the doctors assure that the condition of both of them is assessed as severe, and, fortunately, that neither's life is in danger.
According to the Defense Army, shootings were reported at some points of the line of contact, but there were no other reports. Now the situation has stabilized along the entire line of contact.
The political and military leadership of the Republic of Artsakh is taking emergency steps to stabilize the situation by making the necessary decisions and communicating with the relevant parties.
I ask our compatriots to be calm, not to give in to false information and gossip. The relevant bodies will provide operative and regular information on the further course of the situation,” Beglaryan wrote.
