Armenian Side Reports on Capture of Hundreds of Its Soldiers in Shusha Region

Several dozen residents of the Shirak region of Armenia are surrounded or have already been captured near the village of Khin Shen (Boyuk Galaderesi) of the Shusha region of Karabakh, Armenian sources report.
In particular, residents of the Shirak region claim that volunteers from this region were surrounded for three days. On December 15, an Azerbaijani video appeared showing how this detachment surrendered.
Most of those who were surrounded and captured were residents of the villages of Sarapat and Ashotsk, Shirak region of Armenia. “We are talking about 150 volunteers, including two dozen officials from the Shirak region,” Sputnik Armenia reports. Another group of military men from Armenia was captured near the village of Khtsaberd (Chalaggala).
Previously, all these "volunteers" were filmed and posted on the Internet along the Lachin road, boasting that Russian peacekeepers were standing nearby and did not interfere with them. However, now, they managed to report that the Azerbaijani military had surrounded them and only civilians were allowed in, and the military were being taken prisoner.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry and other power structures have not yet commented on these messages.
Note that according to the trilateral statement of November 10, all Armenian troops had to leave the occupied territories, including Nagorno-Karabakh, before December 1. However, this was not done. Moreover, the Armenian Armed Forces carried out several acts of sabotage, killing and wounding several Azerbaijani servicemen and civilians near the aforementioned villages. Azerbaijan was forced to conduct an anti-terrorist operation and take control of these points.
