Press
service of the Defense Ministry told APA the enemy was silenced

The two southern Caucasus countries fought a six-year war
over the territory which broke away from Muslim Azerbaijan
with the help of Christian Armenia during the collapse of
the Soviet Union. The mountainous territory, and considerable
lands around it, were wrested entirely from Baku's control.
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, who
has ramped up his country's military power with recent
arms deals, has said Azerbaijan is willing to go to war
with Armenia to reclaim Nagorno-Karabakh.
