Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev praised the destruction of the Armenian helicopter on the border.
Contact.az reports that while visiting the staff of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Shamkir on Saturday, Aliyev expressed confidence that "our armed forces have high combat capability and will continue to provide an adequate response to any provocation of the enemy."
The Azerbaijani President also gave relevant instructions in relation to the situation.
To remind, the Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down an NKR Air Force helicopter on November 12. The helicopter was downed during a training flight, and it crashed nearby the Karabakh- Azerbaijan line of contact. As a result, three pilots are believed to have been killed: the commander of the helicopter, Major Sergey Sahakyan, the Senior Lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan, and the Lieutenant Azat Sahakyan.
