Major General Hussein Mahmudov, @wwwmodgovaz Major General Hussein Mahmudov, @wwwmodgovaz, in Ministry of Defense, in re: In late September, active hostilities began: on 27 Sept they launched artillery shelling on our civilian on the then-frontline and that morning killed four civilians. It was decided to put an end to these long-running hostilities, to protect tour civilians, and to create a lasting peace. On the eighth day of the offensive, we managed to liberate the first region. Thereafter, we totally controlled the situation on the ground aiming to cut lines of communication between the Armenian armed forces and Armenia. We posed no threat to Armenia, whence came all supplies. The ceasefire was on 9 Nov. Liberating the ancient village of Shusha was very important: the highest point from which you can control all of Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia was compelled to sign the trilateral statement. We now exercise control over our own territory. We spilled blood—2,800 dead, many wounded, families grieving. They not only destroyed, they pillaged and looted, you’ll find no detail left on the houses, all was taken [that wasn’t burned down].
