Armenia accusa azeri di aver aperto fuoco, Baku smentisce

epa10879198 People examine a T-72 tank installed in the War Trophy Park in Baku, Azerbaijan, 23 September 2023. In 1992 Armenians had installed the tank at the entrance to the city of Shusha as a symbol of their victory in the first Karabakh war. The military operation 'Wedding in the Mountains', carried out by Armenian forces in May 1992 under the leadership of Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, resulted in the defeat of Azerbaijani troops and the loss of Baku's control over Shusha, the cultural capital of Karabakh. The Armenian T-72 tank number 442, commanded by Gagik Avsharyan, was the first to approach the city, but was shot down by the crew of an Azerbaijani tank under the command of Albert Agarunov, who died in Shusha on the same day and was posthumously awarded the title 'Hero of Azerbaijan'. The tank was dismantled during a military action carried out by Azerbaijan in the Karabakh region on 19 September 2023. EPA/ROMAN ISMAYILOV
