“HE STOPPED AND SHOT FOR NO REASON WHATEVER”

Deterioration of Armenian-Azerjainai relations is well perceived in Armenian frontier villages Aygedzor and Chinari. The Azeri side opens machine gun-fire on Armenian settlements almost every day.
The villages of Aygedzor and Chinari are respectively 1700 and 800 metres away from Azeri posts.
Residents of Chinari don’t leave their homes for fear of the worst. Even burials take place at night as people don’t want to die of an enemy bullet. Local residents say Azeris have turned their village into “a bomb-sight” and continue bombarding with massive shells.
“As soon as Azeri servicemen get blind drunk they become fearless and open fire at Armenian posts and settlements. This mainly happens in the evenings when they get used of the command’s absence,” say Armenian commanding officers.
“Everyone shoots there. Once I was looking through binoculars, and saw a man with a knapsack passing by. All of a sudden he stоpped, picked up a machine-gun and began shooting in our direction,” said Commander of N front-line unit Movses Sargsyan.
He says Azeris' unruliness knows no limits. They violate ceasefire even before the monitoring when representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross are deployed on the contact-line.
During intensive bombardments residents of Chinari hide in the neighbouring village, Aygedzor, which lies in a gulf and is inaccessibility for the enemy gun. Nevertheless, people don't feel secure in Aygedzor either.
I am afraid to till the land. Hectares of lands lie uncultivated. A few days ago one of our fellow villagers lost 20 pigs but he didn't dare to look for the astray animals,” said Aygedzor resident Hamlet Saghamyan.
