Three years have passed since September aggression by Azerbaijan  against Armenia, resulting in  the loss of  224 Armenian lives

ArmInfo.  Three years have passed since the September aggression by Azerbaijan against Armenia, resulting in  the loss of  224 Armenian lives.

On the night of September 13, 2022, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan  began large-scale military operations on the border with Armenia  using UAVs and large-caliber weapons. Armenia appealed to Russia, the  CSTO and the UN Security Council in response to Azerbaijan's  aggression against the sovereign territory of Armenia. During the  two-day fighting, the Armenian side suffered the loss of 224 people,  including women who were killed with particular cruelty. Azerbaijan  confirmed the death of 80 of its servicemen. 

The UN Security Council, at the suggestion of France, convened a  special session on September 14-15 to address the situation on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Armenia called for a special session of  the OSCE Council. Following the special session, the CSTO sent a  mission to Armenia to prepare a report on the situation. 

The Azerbaijani Armed Forces also attacked a Russian Border Guard  Service post  in the Gegharkunik region of Armenia. With the  participation of the international community, a ceasefire agreement  was reached along the entire  Armenian-Azerbaijani border from 20:00  on September 14. On the evening of September 17, the Azerbaijani side  returned the bodies of 32 Armenian soldiers who had lost their lives  defending their homeland. It is worth noting that among them  was  David Gishyan, whose medical treatment by Azerbaijani soldiers  was  captured on camera. However, it was later revealed that they had  ultimately killed  the wounded soldier.  Also, a video showing the  brutal dismemberment of a female Armenian  soldier by the Azerbaijani  Armed Forces was circulated online. She was captured alive. And then  she was raped and brutally murdered, with her body mutilated and  violated. All this was posted with delight on the World Wide Web.  These images make your blood run cold.

As a result of this enemy aggression, more than 240 square kilometers  of Armenian sovereign territories were occupied in the Gegharkunik,  Vayots Dzor and Syunik regions.
