The so-called Supreme Court of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) has sentenced Georgian citizen Kakhaber Amiranashvili to 13 years and six months in prison *in absentia*. Russian media reported the news, citing the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
Armenia has not received information from the Russian Federation about Azerbaijan’s plans to begin military operations in Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Yerevan expects Russian peacekeepers to take action to stabilize the situation.
“The main goal of this operation is to involve Armenia in a military operation. Armenia is not involved in hostilities; there are no our armed forces in Nagorno-Karabakh,” Pashinyan said at a Security Council meeting.
Nagorno-Karabakh Ombudsman Gegham Sepanyan reported that as a result of shelling from Azerbaijan, 2 people were killed and 11 were injured. Among the victims were 1 dead and 8 wounded children.
In Yerevan, protesters gather near the government building, demanding that Azerbaijan cease fire. The crowd also chants “Nikol is a traitor.”
