Welcome to the program as a buyer john has vowed to take revenge after an alleged armenian missile strike killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens meanwhile our media says azerbaijan has continued to shell Populated Areas within the disputed. Region both sides accuse each other of violating a truce brokered by russia last week fighting broke out over the region in september and is the worst since the 1990 s. Parts of the azerbaijani city of god in ruins in the early hours of saturday the destruction of the missile attack was not yet fully visible but what was clear was the shock brought here Officials Say at least 20 residential buildings were destroyed during saturdays attack while most people were sleeping. We have been living in fear for days and we try to hide from that attack but that wasnt of any use where suffering a lot of pain a little of it is that we did use then you know the field was in the right now we cant even identify the bodies. According to azerbaijan he officials the missiles were fired from 2 different locations in armenia are mean and all sorts hes have not responded to the claims gunja is the 2nd largest city in azerbaijan and lies far from the disputed region of a car a buck since september the hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan have escalated to an all time high i once frozen conflict flaring up again the not going to care about the region lies within azerbaijan but is governed by ethnic armenians. Residents there are bracing for new bombardments while fearing death from the sky medical officials are also warning that the corona virus is spreading quickly. Said are you still a bit of war of course are a small country has a growing number of coleridge 1000 cases where we dont just like adequate medicine but with difficulties isolating and evacuating patients from our republic. If. The conditions are especially dire in bomb shelters just now in these basements many people are coughing have a fever many have high blood pressure. Here self isolation is not an option people in the corner car back are trapped between the visible and invisible threats to their lives. Im joined by richard gere goes in hes the head of the Regional Studies Center of Foreign Policy think tack in yerevan armenia richard welcome to you can you confirm what john claims which is that the missile strikes on gunja were a deliberate attack by the Armenian Army actually no i cant but i can be begin with whoring the indiscriminate violence the loss d of life of civilians on all flights this is only a demonstration of the intensity of the algebra johny offensive but theres also a degree of asymmetry year where iraq where in a devastating round of retribution unfortunately this is why the b. D. S. Cease fire is an imperative an immediate unconditional cease fire unfortunately fergie and its patron azerbaijan ever refused to abide by the offer d of opportunity but in many ways its the civilians will bear the brunt of this war and at the same time we need to actually turn to diplomacy forceful arms is not as simple as that. Richard are you calling for a return to diplomacy which is totally understandable given the situation but its clear that there is a tit for tat going on here with both sides lobbying accusations at the other shouldnt you be able to concede that an attack that took place at the night where there are civilians of very close by is in fact not a good look for armenia. Oh i would go even further its all acceptable lets be honest it is followed several days of indiscriminate shelling and bombardment of civilian Population Centers in the goal of our wall and the expansion of the fighting into armenia opera but this a 2nd attack on gaza in no way should be excused the bodys seeking a military target in other words the you shall all of locating military areas within civilian visited these it is the horrible what moreover this has to and no side is a completely new moon from this devastating cycle downward hence the need for an imperative of these fire on all sides assists a tional hostilities immediately i agree a cessation of hostilities immediately however what do you expect is going to happen now should we be looking now for a wider escalation of this conflict. Well let me start with the optimistic no the momentum is much in the hands of azerbaijan and the turkish back to dispense it now they are taking territory in their advances in their lighting with no border are all troops im only ringback hopeful that they have seized of territory to satisfy and perhaps herald this as a victory militarily to return to lucy or diplomatic negotiation and i would also expect the army in our own thought to concede all the territory of the last in terms of the necessity to return to diplomacy and in this context we may be approaching a Tipping Point of a conflict with key where the price for continued hostilities far outweighs the necessity to get back to you. I think weve lost richard gere goes your buddy ends on a good no may we all hope for a conflict fatigue richard gere goes in the head of the Regional Studies Center Foreign Policy think tank and rev on armenia thank you thank you.
