09/15/2023 Kut, Armenia. Outskirts of Kut in Gegharkunik province, Armenia, one of several provinces which has experienced countless cross border shootings and border violations since 2020. On September 12th, 2022 Azerbaijani Armed Forces launched a major attack on sovereign territories of Armenia targeting not only military installations but also civilian settlements in the regions of Gegharkunik, Syunik and Vayots Dzor.

Azerbaijan is currently occupying at least 215 square kilometers of Armenian territory and has not withdrawn its troops from internationally recognized Armenian territory despite calls to do so by the European Parliament, United States and France.
