“The concept of “ordinary neighbor” is unacceptable when it comes to Azerbaijan. We are dealing with a terrorist state,” Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told reporters on Tuesday, while commenting on the downing of an Artsakh Mi-24 helicopter by Azerbaijani forces and the statements of Azerbaijan following the incident.

“Ramil Safarov is the symbol of Azerbaijan,” he said.

A MI-24 helicopter of the NKR Air Force was shot down on Wednesday in the airspace in the eastern direction of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani border due to a ceasefire violation by the Azerbaijani armed forces. The area where the helicopter was shot down was at a very short distance from the Line of Contact. The enemy opened heavy fire from guns of various calibers at the incident site.
