Attacks by Azerbaijan continued on Artsakh after the ceasefire went into effect
Attacks by Azerbaijan continued on Artsakh after the ceasefire went into effect
Azerbaijani forces continued their aggression against Artsakh, ignoring a humanitarian ceasefire agreement that went into effect at noon local time Saturday, by launching attacks on the southern borders of Artsakh at 12:05 p.m. targeting the Hadrut region, reported Armenia’s Defense Ministry.

Hadrut continues to remain under complete control of Artsakh, the republic’s president Arayik Harutyunyan declared on Saturday saying “I just returned from Hadrut.”

“As you know, by ignoring the humanitarian ceasefire agreement, the enemy had launched a sabotage raid in the direction of Hadrut. Currently the situation is under the full control of the Defense Army,” added Harutyunyan who said he would elaborate on ceasefire breaches during a press conference on Sunday.

Hadrut has been a target of Azerbaijani attacks for several days now, with Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev falsely claiming on Friday, during a nationally-televised speech, that his forces had taken over the area.

That distortion was debunked because as he was making the announcement, Armenia’s Defense Ministry representative Artsrun Hovhannisyan was in Hadrut from where he said: ‘’I am in Hadrut right now and ‘for some reason’ I only see Armenians here.’’

Reporters from the Russian WarGonzo news site were posting photos from Hadrut on the Telegram social media site saying “the town is under the control of the [Artsakh] Defense Army.’’

The Artsakh Defense Ministry on Saturday said that Azerbaijani forces made a sabotage-reconnaissance infiltration attempt in the direction of Hadrut before the ceasefire went into effect.

“Prior to the establishment of the humanitarian ceasefire, the Azerbaijani side launched a sabotage-reconnaissance infiltration attempt in the direction of Hadrut. Although three hours have passed since the establishment of the ceasefire, the countermeasures for blocking and neutralizing the incursion team continue. It is relatively calm in the other sections of the frontline,” said the Artsakh Defense Ministry

“Azerbaijan’s actions are perhaps dictated with the purpose of proving Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s statement of yesterday on having captured Hadrut,” added the Artsakh Defense Ministry.

Artsakh’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned Azerbaijan’s blatant violation of the humanitarian ceasefire agreement.

“Particularly egregious is the fact that the three-way axis of Azerbaijan, Turkey and international terrorist groups have launched an offensive immediately after the Defense Army of the Republic of Artsakh announced cessation of fire, as part of the humanitarian truce. Azerbaijan’s actions have once again demonstrated that it is a rogue country, which is not willing to fulfill its obligations even for minutes,” said the foreign ministry in an announcement.

“Today’s deceitful attack is conclusive evidence that Azerbaijan uses the negotiations exclusively as a cover for planning military aggression,” said the foreign ministry.

“Under these conditions, the recognition of the independence of the Republic of Artsakh remains the only way for the international community to stop the rogue country. The international recognition will provide the necessary legal and political mechanisms to guarantee peace and security both for the Republic of Artsakh, and for the entire region,” added the Artsakh foreign ministry.

“The Azerbaijani armed forces are trying to use the hours left until the ceasefire, but our army is heroically fulfilling its mission by successfully repelling all kinds of attacks,” Hovhannisyan, the Armenian Defense Ministry representative said on Saturday before the ceasefire agreement went into effect.

“Combat operations of varying intensity continue at the frontline. More intense battles are taking place in the southern direction. The enemy is widely deploying combat drones. The Defense Army units are successfully withstanding the enemy attack dealing suffering blows through strikes,” the Artsakh Defense Ministry said Saturday.

Firefights and rocket-artillery attacks continue in isolated sections, added the defense ministry. Azerbaijani forces also continued shelling Stepanakert ahead of the noon ceasefire.

Azerbaijani forces bombed the the village of Artsvanik in Armenia’s Syunik Province using combat drones, Armenia’s Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said.

“The enemy has used an attack UAV in the direction of the Yeritsvank village of Artsakh, and also the Artsvanik settlement in the Kapan region of Syunik Province in Armenia. There are no casualties,” she said.

Azerbaijani forces have increased the use of combat drones in Artsakh’s southern border after the ceasefire announcement was made.

“The enemy is maliciously attempting to change the situation until the cessation of hostilities at 12 p.m. on October 10 that has been declared for humanitarian purposes. The Artsakh Defense Army units are ready to neutralize the enemy’s attack intentions,” added Stepanyan.

    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.

    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
