Well the number of the that is rise and has rise and by one person and there are more people who are known to be injured right now the general prosecutors and the minister of state of emergency were in the field investigating the scene at the end but old officials are actually in a way implementing a social media diplomacy both the president and his aides his assistants and ministry of defense and Foreign Affairs have been tweeting since morning basically. President hu address this nation just health an hour ago announced that his army to control of more villages and physically in south of now going to karbala and they have full control of the city center for me it was it has been one of the areas that have been where there was a heavy abouts along going along with the territory also besides that minister of defense announced that since the morning attacked at. The end hour that were under heavy fire by the Iranian Forces i spoke to one of the sources in the presidency and i asked him about our many insides rigid declined about the comments with regard to scott and i was told that they are just denying it but they have to prove that those missiles have been fired from our main territory and also turkish officials are tweeting support messages. For as our base john and just a half an hour ago Turkish Foreign minister just waited that they are siding with us our john and our mania is continue to follow what he called war crimes this is the situation for now but while the people are upset about what happened in ganja last night they have good news in their terms from their president in how many have just south an hour ago or to many thanks to some consumer there in baku. Media watch armenia saying about the shitter. Armenia denies that any missiles have been fired from armenian territory into. Territory although slightly different from suggesting that anything is gone from the territory of Nagorno Karabakh no specific comment from the authorities in karabakh at the moment and the Foreign Ministry of armenia has released a tweet and it says that consistence attempts of azerbaijan to extend the geography of the conflict was irreversibly undermining Regional Security should be condemned in the strongest terms and this is because the leadership of armenia is now under intense pressure it has lost control of some territory to azerbaijan territory that Armenian Forces of controlled since the 1994 cease fire armenian consider this territory essentially as a buffer zone between nagornokarabakh. Its this territory that theyre supposed have been negotiating the status of over the last more than 26 years but those negotiations have gone nowhere near as areas now with turkish support have pushed to take some of this territory militarily that is putting enormous pressure on the armenians who are suffering a lot of casualties more than 600. 00 armenian fighters have been killed so far we understand so armenia is accusing us of taking this territory militarily rather than the negotiations over which both sides agreed to take part in it of course is that it was these areas will say have gone nowhere in the last 26 years but administration did i was there. Is assistant to the president of the republic of as about a show and he joins us now via skype from good to have you with us many a says that its missiles dont have the range to hit ganja whats your response to that. Its a couple of really immoral denial. Of the ship and political issue an armenian on the forces since theyre all cloaked for say attacking azerbaijans because it is an include again just if you or the budget is not that it was a 1st attacked in deliberate discriminate manner as a word in a serial yes and get you home isnt what was 1st but scott to me starts but in a sense got me started but used by Saddam Hussein tickles and civilians and intercity and all his own money and youre just living part of the people came on as that was got missed out on particularly then slit is the actual ad you can just see azerbaijan and was the sole purpose of farming inside wells to cause a panic and holes looked at as much as soon as possible but just hours earlier. Azerbaijan to chose to panic. Absolutely not than a 2 person as the name of the city is a cat the army has acquired it and named it to. The us of a town is not target and my president also at least i feel to azerbaijan but once again we are not quite it was a suit yes but in a difference between armenia and azerbaijan azerbaijan only uses precision guided munitions and me sas it is a legitimate military targets but in a but in a different between army and azerbaijan but this account of the contrary. And again is one of the examples of that is in the sky the attack they have killed serbs in azerbaijan is really nice once and for the app and cities that want it and just we see again killed 11 hours over to see if we are and also want to modernise ot this in a deliberate act on the lisbon and its an act of terror and so are also war crime and all the ability to lie is also a political matter that is required. For international attempts to end this conflict i mean it can go on like this can it. Exactly there was an unlimited interest but where is it money to the troops army on a deliberate manner that destroys all management troops in the immediate aftermath of this the men existence or is it that candace each of us a vote on the scud missile lets speak out against it continue to i think azerbaijan is really nuts when where is money going to through we cant have any confidence joe army has side but it will not attack and kill azerbaijan. And also against joe graphical far away from the sea it off their operations it was a normal to the necessity to at tekken again to see that practical its a civilians on the circumstance where we can while i was a silence of the International Community and lack of a serious condemnation of stone as condemnation are meaningless was illegal actions are also war crimes these are mean yes a sense of impunity they will we expect by the International Community so seriously calm down it also means you have to look from some program and some military Appropriation Research on that there are once again proof but armenia is a Single Source of so it the way it is not peace and security theres a lot of the thats all right so many thanks indeed drive the system to the president of Public Affairs suppression.
