So essentially the Azeris launched a very costly offensive, lost many troops (cannot be sure how many), equipment, threw the kitchen sink (less their air force) at the NKR and gained perhaps 200 meters in the Hadrut direction and seemingly nothing in the Mardakert direction, lost face internationally and managed to show the world they look like bloodthirsty maniacs. To top it off, their leader is now well-known internationally to be a corpulently corrupt oligarch who has robbed his country; their economy which relies 90% on fossil fuel is reeling- they have nothing to show for it.

I must say I am not so ok with a ceasefire now. I do not think we did enough damage to the Azeris to prevent them from doing this again. They not only killed our people but did damage to homes and infrastructure as well. This is very costly and I do not feel we have exacted enough costs on them to serve as a deterrent for future attacks. The only justification I see is that we do not want Alieve to fall so we are not going to press the issue, otherwise this is not a good ceasefire for us.

I agree. The only thing to be done at this point to counter the Azeri false propaganda- how can they claim to have won anything?

Good News from Border Hotspots. Artsakhpress Sources report

The aggressive offensive measures taken by the enemy in all directions of border were relatively passive within several hours, informed Artsakhpress sources.

STEPANAKERT, APRIL 5, ARTSAKHPRESS: According to our reliable sources, during the last few hours there is a considerable calmness along the entire length of the contact line of Nagorno Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces.

With corresponding actions, the Karabakh army suppressed the rival’s activeness, returning the lost positions.

In the southern, south-eastern and north-eastern directions of the contact line, on April 1 and early morning of April 2, the adversary carried out attack operations, using artillery, armored vehicles, and air force. In addition to the contact line battles, the adversary hit civilian areas and permanently deployed military units by artillery fire.
