Azerbaijan declares martial law
Azerbaijan has declared martial law that includes a curfew in several cities between 09:00 and 06:00.
President Ilham Aliyev signed a relevant decree on martiallaw on September 27 after Armenia launched attack on Azerbaijan’s army positions and civilians along the entire line of contact.
