One Civilian Killed, 3 Injured as Azerbaijani Forces Open Fire Near Shushi
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Azerbaijan forces opened fire on workers of the Artsakh Water and Sewage Service who were repairing a damaged water pipe near the road leading to Shushi on Monday, killing one civilian and injuring three others, Artsakh’s National Security Service reported.

The incident took place at around 3 p.m. local time. The victims were transported to the Stepanakert Hospital, where one of them, a 48-year-old truck driver, was pronounced dead and the other three were being treated.

Angelina Isakhanyan, a spokesperson for Artsakh’s Health Ministry, told Artsakh Public Radio that one of the wounded workers were taken into surgery, adding that the injuries sustained were not life threatening. She said they had sustained gun shot wounds to their arm, neck, and chest.

The shooting forced the closure of the nearby Stepanakert-Shushi-Berdzor road, which later was opened to through traffic on both sides.

Artsakh’s law enforcement bodies, together with the Russian peacekeeping forces, are currently investigating the circumstances of the incident.

Armenia’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the attack, pointing out that this was the second incident Azerbaijani attack in a month that has resulted in civilian casualties.

“We strongly condemn the gross violation of the ceasefire regime by the Azerbaijani armed forces, which was established by the Statement of November 9, 2020. It worth noting that the incident took place on the eve of the first anniversary of the signing of the Trilateral Statement and on the day of the visit of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to Shushi, where another statement full of Armenophobic rhetoric and threats of use of force was delivered,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

“The consistent Armenophobic rhetoric of Azerbaijan’s top leader, the repeated incidents of violation of the ceasefire clearly demonstrate the hollow nature of the statements made by official Baku on the normalization of relations between Armenia and the Armenian people,” the ministry added.

“We are convinced that the proper investigation of such crimes and the bringing of those responsible to justice can prevent further attacks on the civilian population,” the ministry said.

    What defeatists we have become under the inexperienced reporter Nikol with absolutely zero skills in politics, diplomacy or leadership. The man and his even less experienced FM are destroying our nation bit by bit, giving away lands, acting like cowards and refusing to protect our borders.
    This has emboldened the turks and that is the worst outcome. Fear has crept into the minds of our pathetic leaders.

    All this is happening and still they want to sit and have talks for opening the borders. So far not a single agreement was honored by this terrorist “AZ” criminal state. I cant understand why bother to have further negotiations. Just as well Iran is pushing for its involvement of borders.

    It can’t be that stupid for the Armenians. Wouldn’t the people who committed massacre and genocide in 1992 not see the fascist Armenians?
    the children who escaped that day at the age of 4 or 5, those children who ran away with my bare feet, 40% of the Armenian army was destroyed in 2020
    The children who survived that massacre saved their homeland.
    KARABGH IS AZERBAIJAN.

      You are a typical mentally-handicapped Azerbarani sheep. Institutionally brainwashed since childhood to believe all the nonsense you printed here and to hate the indigenous Armenians whose lands your filthy tribe has occupied for over a century. The lands of several native ethnic groups, such as the Talysh, Lezgi, Avar,Tat and Udi, are still under the occupation of your despicable Azerbarani tribe. There is NO truth in anything you said. It is all a bunch of lies and without lies fabricated by your fake historians and coward leaders you would not have a homeland.

      You fake Azerbarani state, a gas station disguised as a country, was artificially invented 103 years ago in 1918 for the first time in the history of the region on occupied Armenian and Persian lands by pseudo-Russian criminal Soviets and your genocidal terrorist Turkish pimps from Central Asia. Up until your devastating and humiliating defeat in 1994 no one knew who you were. No one knew what Azerbaijan was or where it was located. It took the Armenians bringing you down to your knees, handing you a humiliating defeat, despite your massive oil wealth and three to four times the population, to put your artificial state on the map! You need to thank the Armenians for that!

      In 1994 Liberation War, Armenians lost 6,150 soldiers but killed 37,500 Azerbarani soldiers (65% of total Azerbarani armed forces) and gave you the “alley of shehids” to remember what Armenians can do to you when you alone come face to face with them. But the 2020 war was not a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It was an imposed war preplanned by terrorist Turkey because for thirty years you could not do anything. It was a war between a small Armenia defense force of the conflict zone, with some conscripts and volunteers from Armenia, AND the combined forces of terrorist Turkey (NATO), incompetent Azerbaijan, terrorist Pakistan, fatherless Syrian ISIS jihadists AND advanced weapon supplies from former Soviet republics such as Belarus and morally-bankrupt Zionist Israel.

      Even with all these forces you could not get what you wanted. Armenians with 100% Armenian population of 150 thousand are still in Stepanakert with their armed forces living there like they always did. Before the war there were no Russians here in thirty years. But now your Russian enemies are now back again with their big guns and are not going anywhere. You are surrounded. What are you going to do now? How are you going to drive the Russians out this time? Along with the Armenian armed forces the Russians have full control of “karabakh” now and today you are facing not just the Armenians but the Russians too. You may have won the battle, run and dictated by terrorist Turkey and all the other forces I mentioned, but you have lost the war because in reality you have not gained anything. You have much bigger problems now than you had before. Your plans failed once again. Other than a few regions “karabakh” is still under Armenian control and guarded by Russian forces. Your biggest nightmare has come true!

      You Azerbarani illiterate sheep, whatever happened in 1992 was the work of pan-Turkic Azerbarani Islamo-fascist Popular Front, headed by Abulfaz Elchibey, to steal power from pro-Russian Azerbarani first post-Soviet president Ayaz Mutalibov by using civilians as human shields. Filthy Azerbarani Popular Front sacrificed your own people to force Azerbarani president out and take over his government. You are not fooling anyone! We know all about your terrorist tactics you Azerbarani subhuman scum.

      1994 Armenian Liberation War Casualties
      Armenian: 6,150
      Azerbarani: 37,500 (65% of total Azerbarani armed forces)

      2016 4-Day April War Casualties:
      Armenian: 109
      Azerbarani: 1,000 with 2,000 wounded

      2020 War Casualties:
      Armenian: 3,800 – 5,000
      Azerbarani: 22,000 – 25,000 (30,000 according to Najmaddin Sadikov ousted Azerbarani army chief)

      Şəhidlər xiyabanı mubarek olsun!!
      Qarabağ (ARTSAKH-Արցախ) Ermənistandır!
      Azərbaycan Ermənilərin və Farslarin dir!
      Yaşasin Ermənistan!
      Yaşasin Iran!

    Armenia is the third world African country in this region. There is no annual income of 3 billion dollars. a poor hungry country will save my russia and prepare you for the azerbaijani citizenship by the Armenian minority in 25 thousand khanates.

      Go back to kindergarten and get some education you illiterate idiot. You are talking from your rear end. A typical Azerbarani sheep who does not know anything about history and politics except for what his coward filthy leaders tell him to repeat. You don’t have a brain of your own to think for yourself and it is quite obvious from your poor writing and empty nonsense. I don’t know who and what you are but if I were to guess I would say you are either a street shish-kebob vendor, a cab driver or a garbage collector.

      Here is a piece of real history for you:
      For the sake of discussion, let’s put aside and forget the fact that Azerbaijan is a terrorist illegitimate state which never existed in the entire history of the region and was artificially invented 103 years ago on occupied Armenian and Persian lands.

      Now, according to artificial Azerbaijani constitution adopted in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, this illegitimate terrorist state declared itself as the successor state to the first so-called Azerbaijani democratic republic of 1918. But at this time and during this illegitimate republic and until 1921 “karabakh”, real name Artsakh, was part of Armenia and NOT Azerbaijan democratic republic. The illegal transfer of “karabakh” from Armenia to artificial Azerbaijan took place in 1921 under Soviet Union when Azerbaiajn republic had become Azerbaijan-SSR. Since according to your own leaders Azerbaijan of 1991 is NOT successor state to Azerbaijan-SSR but a successor state to Azerbaijan democratic republic of 1918 THEREFORE “karabakh” stays outside of Azerbaijan and NOT inside! In other words, even according to your own leadership, you have NO legal rights to “karabakh” at all. Furthermore, the Soviet Union was internationally an unrecognized state in 1921 and became recognized internationally only a year or two later which means whatever territorial criminal acts was committed by Soviet Union is also illegal!

      Your Russia you say? Are you the love child of a drunk Russian sailor? I can’t stop laughing at you. If Russia is your daddy then what is Turkey? Your step-daddy or 2nd daddy? Does coward Aliyev’s pimp Muslim Turkish terrorist Er-dog-an take second place next to your Orthodox Christian daddy Russia?

      Armenians with Azerbaijani citizenship? NOT even in your wildest imaginations! I am betting you will cease to exist long before that happens. Iranian massive army is getting ready to invade you now that you have their arch-enemy Zionists there. Your pimp Er-dog-an looks like he is suffering from a deadly disease and is kept alive with drugs and he won’t be around much longer for you to pimp out against the Armenians any more. A 67 year old man who looks like 87. All illegitimate states come to an end. Your illegitimate and artificial state will be destroyed sooner or later. It is just a matter of time!

    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.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • 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.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. 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
