If Azerbaijanis Suddenly Decide to Use Weapons First, Who Will Answer for Any Casualties or Captives? Vrtanesyan
Military expert Karen Vrtanesyan wrote on his Facebook page:
"Two days ago, I made a closed post. 'Our people have been ordered not to fire, and now they are literally having hand-to-hand combat in various places to restrain the Azerbaijanis. If at some point the Azerbaijanis suddenly decide to use weapons first, and we have casualties or captives, who will answer for that?'
Today, Azerbaijanis who have invaded Armenia opened fire in the Verin Shorja area and killed an Armenian defender.
It didn’t require great foresight to predict this; it’s simple logic: If you allow the enemy to enter your territory without firing a single shot, at some point, he will start shooting.
Furthermore, the "negotiations," as we initially stated, only served to buy time for the Azerbaijanis to consolidate in the seized territories and amass enough troops.
