Armenia recruits old men

The regime of the party of war has no mass support among the population in Armenia. That is why even old men are sent to the front.

Mothers do not want their sons to sacrifice their lives for some absurd ideas of such people as the chairman of Yerkrapah Volunteer Union Manvel Grigoryan, a war criminal, who confessed that he held at his house an Azerbaijani captive as a slave for four years.

Recall, on the night of April 2 all frontier positions of Azerbaijan were exposed to heavy fire from large-caliber weapons, mortars, grenade launchers and guns. In addition, Azerbaijani settlements near the front line, densely populated by civilians, were shelled.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20% of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US, are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
