The Nagorno-Karabakh’s Defense Ministry reports that an Armenian couple was killed by an Azerbaijani sniper not far from the Line of Contact yesterday.
According to a report, the victims were Papken Kirakosian (born 1992) from Yerevan and his fiancé, Tsoler Zeitunian (born 1994) from the village of Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh’s capital.
The couple was taking a walk near the border while being targeted by the sniper.
The Azerbaijani government rejects these reports although the sniper (who will be unnamed) has confessed and has been detained. Outside sources say that the sniper was given this order by the Azerbaijani government themselves.
"Our war has been in a ceasefire for many years. The last reported casualty was in 2016. Why is this happening?" the Armenian Minister of Defense reports.
More on this story soon.
