Karabakh soldiers

STEPANAKERT—Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Ministry announced that three soldiers were killed and two were wounded over the weekend by Azeri sniper fire and vowed retaliation.
The Karabakh defense ministry said Vazgen Bashkhian was killed on Friday, while two other soldiers were killed Saturday during a barrage of sniper fire from the Azeri direction.
The top military brass is prepared to take measures to prevent “acts of sabotage,” according a source at the defense ministry.
Speaking to Tert.am on condition of anonymity, the source said the defense ministry is planning “large-scale punitive” actions on the Karabakh-Azerbaijan border,
The Karabakh defense ministry also said the sabotage by Azerbaijan comes to prove that Azerbaijan is not committed to implementing agreements reached during negotiations with international mediators.
The statement added that Azerbaijan was continuing its unrestrained attacks with impunity.
“This behavior deserves the most severe condemnation by the international community,” said a statement issued by Armenia’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday.

    This contitinuous killing is unacceptable and frustration for all Armenians
    It’s unbelievable that Azeri-Turks can beat Armenians.
    The source said ,
    “The defense ministry is planning “large-scale punitive” actions on the Karabakh-Azerbaijan border”?
    SIR, DON’T TALK ABOUT YOUR PLAN ? JUST DO IT.

    Turkere irents ouzatsin hasan – mez jeghainatsrin. Any response should be necessary and proportional – just take out any and every sniper along the line of contact. Start small and take out five. If they continue, respond accordingly.

    If might is right, then Armenia should do the right thing. Just talking about condemnation of Azeri aggression does not safeguard the lives of young Armenian soldiers. The Azeri thugs in Baku must “feel” the Armenians’ voice and not just hear it.
    If not, then Armenia should announce major compromises and let the Azeris impose their will.

    Yes, enemy snipers killed the soldiers…….but I’m sure the Azeri were using large caliber anti-materiel rifles like 12.7mm (.5 inch), or the Azeri made Istiqlal rifle chambered in the more powerful 14.5mm Vladimirov caliber. I don’t think they were using “mere” 7.62mm Dragunov rifles.
    The moral of the story is this….as long as an Armenian head or torso shows itself, it will be shot at by Turks. The warzone borders may not move an inch for another 20 years, and Azeri threats of war may be anounced regularly yet without them daring to resume the war, but that doesn’t mean enemy sharpshooters will hesitate to kill. The Armenian forces are slowly being bled one or two casualties a month, or sometimes even per week. The solution is to heavily mine the current strip of land where the border posts are, then withdraw all personnel another 400 meters to the rear, replacing their posts with robotic machine gun turrets. Theres no need for personnel to stand there…..in the face of an enemy heavy weapon attack those infantry are no use, and as long as they stay there they will simply tempt the Turks to take pot shots at them and spray some fire around the line. The Armenian military will say it has built extensive defensive works and fortifications at the contact line….they will say the enemy has no hope of victory and that’s why they simply take opportune sniper fire because they have no other chance….they will say there is a useful balance of power and Azerbaijan is only fooling itself if it thinks of winning. Yet the brutal reality is Azerbaijan isn’t thinking long term, whether or not it will win the war…..it is instead relishing each and every chance of killing an Armenian conscript with snipers, no matter if that means just 20 or 30 deaths per year. Azerbaijan wants blood…..the Armenian military is foolish enough to give them the opportunity. Bottom line…the poor conscripts and their weeping families pay the price.

    How can this go on with no response from the Armenian side. Don’t our boys on the front have 50 caliber sniper rifles that have a range of a mile or more? Why not respond in kind — Tell those bastards “You shoot one of ours we shoot 10 of yours.” And do it – teach them a lesson they won’t forget. Teach them that they can’t murder Armenians any longer without paying a heavy price.

      i guess theyre trying to make it clear to the world who the aggressor is. but that point has been shown long ago and its not helping us prevent a war (no US or european threats if azerbaijan starts a war)
      we’ll just keep it in mind, we wont forget a thing, and we’ll unleash all of our anger, fustration and revenge when they start their war

    Unfortunately there is only one language that the Azeris undersrtand and taht is the language of power and strength. Armenians now need to show that they too can stoop low and deal with Azeris appropriately at their level. Armenians shouldn’t look to Europe and the US to condemn their cowerdice acts as they are currently loved by most in Europe and probably in US because of their oil and gas abundant energy supplies. Europe/US are unlikely to offer any reaction over these atrocities favouring the Armenians or condemn the Azeri Authorities who openly commission such acts. Armenia and Arcakh need to act and deliver a message that Azeris recognise and undwerstand. Azerbaijan may have asperations to join Europe but their mentality and their thinking is far removed from that of the democratic Europeans.

    Necati Genis you need to wear some hearing aid devices! It seems your ears don’t hear your
    Azeri Dictator’s (his father’s inheritor) daily threats against the Armenians. Perhaps when Nakhitchevan from
    the west, the Gour river from the east and the Russian Border from the north is back in Armenian Control,
    only then your eardrums might blow up from suffering from true justice service and start hearing again!!! (7)
    And only then Geidar Aliev can come back from Heaven (sorry from Hell) and drink tea in Shousi and
    have a turkish bath there! Let him rot in hell and not even dare of looking into our eyes!!!

    Who remembers the Armenians “said Hitler in 1939. Turkey will always help Azerbaijan against Armenia “said Erdogan in 2011. Justice has been served “said the monkey Obama when they killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. It is not Saudi Arabia or Europe have killed Osama Bin Laden because he did acts of terrorism against the United States. It is U.S. who have done justice to themselves. That’s enough. We Armenians can and have land and weapons to defend our country independently without appealing other countries which do not care.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
