That training base could use some maintenance, a whole new cover that is.

One can easily distinguish this slim lady by her thin shoulders, among her heavy sniper peers tasked with protecting the nation in the long conflict with its neighboring country.
Not passion, but a strong desire to put an end to a long-standing injustice was the key driver to her joining the militia. Now her only mission is to her motherland, which fell victim to an aggressive neighbor's attack. Over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory has been under Armenian occupation for over two decades.
Azerbaijani sniper Vusala Mammadova, a mother to a child, is a woman endowed with courage, bravery, and intelligence, and who is keen on liberating the 1/5 of her motherland from foreign control.
Modern military history offers many accounts of female heroism, demonstrating the tough responsibility taken in preventing bloodshed and restoring territorial integrity.
Her childhood desire to become a soldier, made 25 years old Vusala an attractive candidate for the national army. She has served in the Azerbaijani army since 2014.
Currently, she is taking sniper classes and is trained in using an OSV-96 sniper rifle.
“The main quality of a sniper is infinite patience, skilled disguise,” Vusala said. “This sense is well developed in women. Opening fire is not all the sniper should do. You should be able to be masked, lying motionless for hours. Whoever moves first in snipers duel is doomed to death.”
Vusala’s uncle was killed by bullets from the Armenian army. “People say that the uniform that we put on is the shroud of our martyrs. All Azerbaijanis like me, whose heart beats with love for the motherland, have the only desire to avenge our martyrs, and liberate our land,” she said.
Armenia captured Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts from Azerbaijan in a war that followed the Soviet breakup of 1991. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and nearly 1 million were displaced as a result of the war.
33 years old, Konul Mammadli, who has also served in the Azerbaijani army since 2014, also wanted to be in the military since her childhood.
Early on, she fulfilled her family’s desire to become a teacher. She, however, had always wanted to put on a uniform.
Although she was born in Sumgayit, Konul’s grew up in Azerbaijan’s Gazakh region, a contact area, where young Konul often heard the sound of gunfire.
“My biggest supporter is my father. I told my father I want to be a servicewoman. Years earlier, he prevented me from joining the military, but this time, seeing my desire and firm decision, he supported me,” Konul said.
Konul, shooting an SVD sniper rifle, says that when aiming at a target, she imagines the enemy in front of her. The sniper believes that the most important task for the Azerbaijani people is to liberate the occupied lands.
"We should not forget our sacred duty..." she said.
Azerbaijan is proud of her female soldiers who could write history during previous wars.
Ziba Ganiyeva, fighting during the Great Patriotic War, the conflict fought along the many fronts of the Eastern Front of World War II, was the first Azerbaijani sniper to take this path.
The extraordinarily beautiful 17-year-old girl was well known throughout the Soviet Union as a sniper, scout, and radio operator.
She killed 129 enemy soldiers during the war. During combat, she nearly died of blood poisoning and was bed-ridden for 11 months. She returned to her duties following treatment. For her personal exploits and courage, Ganieva received numerous state awards. She died in 2010 in Moscow.

Why have you posted this fraudulent nonsense???
The turcs (any turc) does not originate from these lands. It's easy to trace their ancestry.
The --- fraudulent --- claim that this is their (sacred homeland) is just that ...fraudulent.
It's not difficult to determine which turc groups came to these lands and when they came.
Murder, rape, torture, and theft followed with each successive wave of these jerks.
This group to the east is as the group to the west ... They don't long for their homeland, (but) long for someone else's homeland.
Our people showed heart to the non combatants in kojoly and made provisions for their safe exit. The kojoly non combatants were killed by their own military , not ours. There is plenty of evidence ...PLENTY.
This piece of propaganda is just that ...propaganda.
Lots of evidence we've been there for millinea, and lots of evidence they are nomadic oportunistic murdering thieves.
That's their culture and history.
If you want to know what a turc looks like before their rape of the indigenous people's they attacked, go to Tajikistan, Turkmenistan , etc..… only trible/clan affiliation seperates them.

Armynia I have no idea what half your posts mean... anyway.

Moscow (AFP) - The Russian military ordered Tuesday a snap combat readiness check of its troops stationed in Armenia as the Caucasus country grapples with anti-government protests.

"During the snap inspection, a commission will assess the readiness of duty troops in the air force unit stationed in Erebuni and at the military base in Gyumri to perform assigned tasks," Russia's southern military district said in a statement.

The military drills will take place in the mountainous areas of Kamkhud and Alagyaz, and will be monitored by drones, the statement said.

Russia has recently intensified its surprise combat readiness checks, testing its troops' capabilities from the Arctic to the Far East as relations with the West have soured over the Ukrainian crisis.

The most recent snap check comes amid more than two weeks of protests in Armenia, sparked last month over plans by a Russian-owned company to increase electricity prices by more than 16 percent.

Hundreds of riot police last month clashed with protesters in the largest anti-government demonstrations the ex-Soviet country has seen in years.

Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian has denied that the demonstrations, which have dwindled over the past week, are anti-Russian.

Some politicians in Moscow have expressed fears that the demonstrations could come to resemble those that toppled a Kremlin-backed government in Ukraine last year.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned the West against attempts to foment revolution in Armenia, one of Moscow's staunchest allies.

Bilateral ties received a huge blow in January after a Russian soldier stationed in the Armenian city of Gyumri murdered a local family of seven, including a six-month-old.

Russia's current lease on the Gyumri base expires in 2044.

In March, more than 8,000 Russian ground troops took part in military drills in Armenia, Crimea and the breakaway Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, among others.

Right! So until 2044 Armenia has to become an powerful nation and still keep the Russian base, otherwise if Armenia be like today in 2044, Russians will laugh and say you still need us.
What I'am saying be powerful and still keep the base, if you stay weak Russia will laugh and say you still need me my little lion.
