So they now have the high ground in that area? Why was our MOD saying that it holds no strategic importance?

You can't have high ground everywhere. I don't know where is that exactly.
I think some opposition media in Armenia are after political gains and are trying to tell us we lost more than it is officially claimed.

Read on facebook we lost 20-30 km.

So they are near stepanakert all of a sudden? Lol they couldn't even get 1 Km with their horde of morons attacking 1 position. Don't buy anything they say. They will tell you that they landed on mars.

Shan't jan, our MOD is saying it is important tactically, but not strategically. I was confused at first about this, just like you seem to be. But this helped. Take a look aper.

See attached. If we could have pushed them into the valley most of the area would have had better security.
White line is the old trenches divide, now they got the hill (dotted line) they have visual of Talish, they can use small arms 50mm to harass residents.

Yes, as you can see it was a small strip that they had on our side of the valley, now they have the hill. The rest of the border the valley was the divide.
