The Azerbaijani Army continues anti-terrorist operations in the occupied territories.

Axar.az reports that Armenian servicemen are fleeing en masse.

Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan called on the fugitives to be "men."

"Be a man and fight to the end. Even the students formed their own gangs and fought. They are ready to die, but you?” he said.

Hovhannisyan called on Armenian youth.

"By hanging flags on cars and singing patriotic songs in Yerevan, you do not bring victory closer. Take a gun and move on," said Artsrun, sitting in his warm office.

The Armenian military leadership cannot prevent the escape of soldiers and officers. Last night alone, 300 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 5th Mountain Rifle Regiment fled, leaving a large amount of military equipment, dead and wounded.
