Italian TV channel Sky TG24 prepared a reportage about the cruelties and murders of civilians in the village Talish of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) by the Azerbaijani armed forces .

The report starts with an interview with LevonHakobjanyan, a soldier of the Defense Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, who was at the hospital. He told the Italian journalist about the attack of the Azerbaijanis and the murders of the civilians.

According to the Italian journalist, LevonHakobjanyan serves in the region Talish, and Nagorno Karabakh is Armenia’s Christian “enclave,” which has been fighting against Azerbaijan for its independence for a quarter-century. 

Abelyan, a Talish resident, told the journalist how the Azerbaijani soldiers had begun to fire the village when the inhabitants were still asleep. He said the residents first evacuated children and women.
“Azerbaijani missiles leveled everything to the ground,” Abelyan said. He showed the reporter his house, which was entirely destroyed as a result of the firing. He told him how difficult it had been for him to save the children when several missiles fell on the roof of the house.

The journalist drew the audience’s attention to the traces of blood of the residents wounded as a result of firing by the Azerbaijani armed forces.

Another Talish resident, Vanik, also showed his destroyed house and told the journalist that he did know what his family would do. Vanik said the Azerbaijani reconnaissance officers had broken into his house after that and turned everything upside down.

Then the crew of the Italian TV channel visited the house of the elderly couple Valeri and RazmellaKhalapyans, who were shot by the Azerbaijani soldiers. The journalist notes that the photos demonstrate the Azerbaijani soldiers’ cruelty.

In his turn, photojournalist Hakob Poghosyan said that after he had photographed Khalapyans’ yard, he entered into the house to find the couple already dead with their ears cut off.

It is also noted in the reportage that the authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic have due evidence that the bodies of the Armenian soldiers have been defaced. Everything is documented and is being investigated in a criminal case.

The journalist also notes that volunteers and Karabakh War veterans arrive in the NKR to be enlisted in the Defense Army and protect the independence of their homeland.

“If the Turks and Azerbaijanis kill us, we are ready for anything,” one of the volunteers stated
