"We still cannot approach the crash site of downed Karabakh helicopter MI-24," Artsrun Hovannisyan, Armenia's Defense Ministry Spokesperson, told ArmInfo.
He said the fate of the three pilots of the downed aircraft is still uncertain. The Azeri party keeps shelling at the crash site for already a week.
To remind, the Azerbaijani armed forces downed an Armenian Mi-24 while it was conducting a training flight near the Line on Contact on 12 November. Three officers of the NKR Armed Forces, Sergey Sahakyan, Sargis Nazaryan and Azat Sahakyan, were on board. The NKR State Committee for POWs, Captives and the Missing has requested the ICRC assistance in returning the crewmembers of the downed helicopter. The Azeri officer that shot the helicopter down has been awarded a medal.
