On November 3rd, videos surfaced showing Azerbaijani soldiers cutting off the ears of dead Armenian personnel.
The videos are quite graphic, and will not be shared below, however, they could easily be found in open sources.
Regardless, the level of animosity and ethnic hate against Armenians from the Azerbaijani side is evident in them.
On the battlefield, according to the State Emergency Service of Artsakh, Azerbaijani Armed Forces hit the city of Shushi with large caliber artillery.
Injured have been reported among the civilian population, and there is a lot of destruction in the city.
A video was also released of the shelling of the city center of Stepanakert in the late hours of November 3rd.
The Armenian side released an alleged updated map of the war.
On November 3rd, photographs were shared of a destroyed column of Azerbaijani special forces, and WarGonzo appears to have made a video on the matter:
On the Azerbaijani side, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced his readiness to stop the war in Nagorno-Karabakh on condition that Armenia withdraws its troops from the “occupied territories”.
“The sooner the war ends, the better. <…> I have repeatedly said <…> and I can repeat once again that <…> if the Prime Minister of Armenia undertakes a commitment to liberate the remaining territories, then we are ready stop today. So far, he has not undertaken such obligations,” Aliyev said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
The head of state recalled that, according to the basic principles of the UN Security Council resolutions, first five regions must be liberated, then two more.
“We have already unilaterally liberated four regions. Therefore, Pashinyan, must say that the troops should be withdrawn from the territories of Aghdam, Kelbejar, Lachin regions that remained under occupation. But he does not give such a statement, that means he does not want an end to the war,” Aliyev summed up.
In an interview with Al Arabiya TV channel, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Yerevan is ready for negotiations on the settlement of the conflict in Karabakh, but Baku does not make compromises. According to Pashinyan, “as soon as a compromise becomes acceptable for Armenia, it immediately becomes unacceptable for Azerbaijan.”
Azerbaijan forces keep pushing.
During the day on November 3rd and night on November 4th, the Armenian armed forces fired at the positions of the units of Azerbaijan Army in different directions of the front and our human settlements with various small arms, howitzers and mortars.
The combat operations continued with varying intensity, mainly in the Tartar, Aghdam, Khojavend, Zangilan and Gubadli direction of the front. The enemy was forced to retreat with casualties on personnel and military vehicles in some areas of the front.
“During the day and at nighttime, a large number of enemy forces, 2 – T-72 tanks, 3 – D-30 howitzer-guns, 1 – “Zastava M-55” anti-aircraft gun, 1 – tactical UAV, 3 – military trucks were destroyed and wrecked.”

Ups, so AZ recognise it can’t sustain this agression towards an independent state any longer…sooner or later I was expected to hear this statement
How is liberating one’s own land “aggression”?, Frankly I am a bit confused by your statement.
You were already confused before my statement … Rep. Artsakh is an independent self-determined state … It is NOT the territory of any other country … in your ignorance, you may not know that this independent state is not part of Armenia … There are a lot of self-determined states in the world that have separated from other countries mainly on ethnic grounds, as was the case here with this territory inhabited by ethnic Armenians which has opted to separate from AZ … as far as I know, international laws condemn any aggression against any state …
Ps…
And, leting aside the hipocrisy, tell me, what do you feel about kosovo??…is it an independent state or it is part of Serbia and further it should be re-incorporated back into the serbian teritory??…
PPS…
That’s exactly what I thought…
Serbia was a genocidal failed state and no country supported it. Azerbaijan is a different case.
is this your “legal” argument?! … wow !! … “I am speechless” …
from this I deduce that you are deeply impartial due to your belonging to the so-called “nation” of islam as well as probably to your ethnicity … I have nothing more to add …
And, dude, the statement “no country supported” Serbia is a fucking lie…don’t talk bulshit please
Serbia was bombed by NATO and name any country that was willing to support it. Even Yeltsin and Russia abandoned it. Armenia faces similar isolation.
He is illiterate He won’t understand
I try to remain objective and treat people with respect, but some of these trolls just distort facts to suit their agenda. Armenia had over 25 years to negotiate borders and security arrangements with all its neighbors, but it fell into hubris and the mistaken view that Russia will come to its aid. The world has changed and nations need to be flexible.
So, in case Serbia will attack Kosovo and occupy it, everybody needs to be flexible, to understand that the world has changed and you, as an objective person who treat people with respect, will respect also the reunification of kosovo with its mother land and the returning home of the force-exiled serbian population after the muslim kosovars ethnic cleansed the christian-orthodox serbian population from that serbian province…
I already know that you are stupid, you have already proved this, but just as a note, there are countries within NATO that have tacitly “supported” the aggression of the US-Germany-Turkey led coalition against Serbia but that did not recognize or recognize even on today the so-called Kosovo state …
And I have bad news for you morone…96 countries out of 193 in the world don’t recognise kosovo as a state while 5 are in fluid stance…
Probably, the only states that are recognizing kosovo are US, some of their puppet states, very few in number and the muslim states, that’s it…
https://fort-russ.com/2020/03/major-kosovo-loses-majority-in-un-more-states-do-not-recognize-kosovo-than-do/
What different? We have a christian incumbent and a fake muslim invader?
Kosovo is Serbia.
Ahahahahaha. You are a funny guy:)))) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fcc0cf9a3a385b11fae012008851c919eac5030796567ad2bb29827a919c1daf.jpg
Azerbaijan brother handsome and STRONK!
Nice sarcasm. But try to be a bit more serious at least in such themes about wars.
Armenia’s position is untenable and an inept and warped Pashinyan is only prolonging the agony and suffering of innocent people on both sides. Only a withdrawal followed by security guarantees and secure borders will ensure peace in the Caucasus.
Pashinyan come to office in 2018. he just inherited of this situation. The only thing he can do is negotiate for the Armenian minority / by the way Azeri national they have to stay loyal where they live.
He is right, i will cite kosovo as precedent.
Anyways, to make it simple for you simpletons, we dont want an AZ victory, as you have shown to be animals and will ethnic cleanse the region.
Nobody wants to see that, except you bloodthirsty apes.
I see genocide Mike, go tell everyone in Southfront… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b653e9c22052cc5ce1b4f617b6bf5c33a8c13374927d5634a3d7d2a52fb1ad7c.jpg
You are distorting facts and international law. Even Iran which previously was sympathetic to Armenia has changed its position, largely due to Armenian obstinacy and desperate attempt to bring in religious dynamics into a land issue. Not a single country in the word condones Armenia’s illegal occupation of NK, not even Armenia or Russia.
So, I’m talking here with a legitimate expert in international law … tell me then, as an expert in international law, how the occupation of Albania over the Serbian province of Kosovo can be legitimate … I remind you that many countries do not recognize this “country” , meaning kosovo …

Don’t spam with cartoons, kid.)
Majority of Karabah/Artsah was and still is armenian for many centuries. So it’s not liberation obviously, Aliev said he can stop the war in any moment, it’s the right of aggressor, not defender.
The Armenians must a diplomatic solution. There is no possibility that the Armenians will win the war. The Armenian government needs to think about the survival of Armenia itself.
Armenia’s survival isn’t under threat. The survival of the unrecognised by anyone including Armenia “Republic of Artsakh” is.
What do you think will be the consequences of a long war that will kill tens of thousands of young Armenians (a country of less than 3 million citizens), as well as spending and destruction worth tens of billions of dollars for a poor country like Armenia.
Nothing. They’re a poor and isolated landlocked country with no great geopolitical leverage and they’ll remain a poor and landlocked country with no great geopolitical leverage.
Frankly, that is the only logical option left and is the Iranian peace plan.
The explosions in the city is not rocket artillery anymore, most likely 152mm. Which means Azerbaijani artillery is very close, which means troops that are supposed to stand in front of the artillery is even closer.
Khankandi soon free of Armeni loser rats…Great Khan know the future…hahahhaha
Meaning a maximum distance of 25 kilometres, probably much less given the necessity of firing at high angles in the mountains. Probably no more than ten to fifteen.
Almost same. I calculated about 15 for the artillery and 10 for motorized infantry.
Iran’s Khamenei says Armenia-held land in Karabakh ‘must be returned’
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday that Armenian-held territory in Azerbaijan “must be returned” and warned the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was threatening regional security. Hundreds of people have been killed since new fighting erupted in late September over the disputed Karabakh region, which broke from Azerbaijan’s control during a war in the 1990s. Iran has recently launced its own comprehensive peace process in consultation with Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
which hosts like 80% Armenians.. who we already know will all be killed off.. so easy..
Because close to a million Azerbaijanis were ethnically cleansed from their homes. Azerbaijan had so much internal pressure that this war was inevitable. Armenia should have negotiated a peaceful solution. Now this is a war to the end.
True enough. The Azeris ethnically cleansed have a right to return and those who ethnically cleansed them cannot be permitted to continue to rule over them.
100 million azeris! Why not? 7 regions of Karabah were the most populated lands in the world.
But with the other hand Iran provide Armenia with Intel and weapons route….Iran is not a naive contry and know that Israel are behind the NK war supplying weapons to NZ while Turkey want to create a pseudocalifate there full of Syrian terrorist and surely also Chechen, Uzbek, Uygour..etc…among others!
Their support are only verbal. They are hypocrites who tell lies openly while dreaming of leading the Muslim world.
If anyone believes this bullshit, they must be retarded. Iran had traditionally stood with Armenia against a Shiite Azerbaijan.
No. Wrong.
Every country (except AR) have the same position, because officially it’s the part of AZ. It’s just a diplomatic statement, not more. Iran doesn’t support AZ or especially Turkey in its will to grab this land for the sultan. And Iran is not alone in this.
Aliev just proved that he started this round of war being the aggressor, despite AZ propaganda, which is saying about aggression of AR side. You cant’ stop a war in any moment, if you are under attack, because it’s a lost of war or even death for your country. If you are defender, you have to defeat your enemy first before stopping a war.
No one is going to give back land taken over in a war without a fight! Get that through your stupid heads Turks! You haven’t won this war not by a longshot! Now we will see if your soldiers and mercenaries have balls or a vagina….? the Armenian infantry is second to none!
