Armenians refusing to serve in Garabagh over cold weather
Armenian military men serving in the occupied Upper (Nagorno)
Garabagh region are refusing to deliver on their duties on the
contact line of the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops due to freezing
cold that hit the area in the past few days.
Military sources said the arch-foe nation's army is experiencing hunger and lack of basic conditions.
The temperatures in the frontline districts are well below zero, with negative 9-17 degrees registered in several regions.
Inclement weather has complicated things for the Armenian military. Icing on mountainous roads has cut off communication with Armenia and the lack of heat and food has sent the country's army into disarray. The challenges are so immense that Armenian soldiers are refusing to serve on the frontline and some of them are said to have suffered from freezing.
The Armenian forces are trying to put aviation to use to find a way out of the predicament.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven adjacent Azerbaijani districts in defiance of international law. Despite numerous rounds of OSCE-brokered negotiations, peace talks have been fruitless so far and refugees remain stranded.
