Nagorno-Karabakh accused Azerbaijan of 200 bombardments during week

On September 2-8, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces made more than 2000 shots at the positions of the Defence Army, the MoD of Nagorno-Karabakh has stated.

Earlier, during the previous week, from August 26 to September 1, Nagorno-Karabakh counted 150 bombardments delivered from the Azerbaijani side.
