&#39;I&#39;ll cut missiles in half and use them to feed my pigs&#39;: Nagorno-Karabakh defiant in face of Azeri shelling

Posted: 02 Oct 2020 09:58 AM PDT

'I'll cut missiles in half and use them to feed my pigs': Nagorno-Karabakh defiant in face of Azeri shellingAs a senior fireman in Stepanakert, the capital city of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armen Naremanian knew he'd be busy when war erupted with Azerbaijan last weekend. Yesterday, though, rather than putting out fires or rescuing people from bombed buildings, he was running for cover himself. Just as he was eating lunch, a rocket landed in Stepanakert's main fire station compound, the blast echoing across the city and wrecking part of the building, injuring 11 of his colleagues. "We saw some Azerbaijan drones in the sky looking for targets, but we didn't think the fire station would be a target because we're a humanitarian service," said Mr Naremanian, as he surveyed the two-foot wide crater that the rocket tore in the compound's car park. "Now it's going to make it harder for us to rescue innocent victims of this war. They are doing this shelling just to cause panic among people." The rocket was part of a constant barrage of Azeri artillery around Stepanakert in the last week - some hitting military targets, some smacking harmlessly into nearby hills and gorges, some wrecking civilian homes and farmsteads. But while much of the shelling appears to be almost indiscriminate, there is nothing random about the choice of Stepanakert as a general target.
