[edit] Karabakh War

Regarding the conflict between Nakhchivan and Armenia in the context of the Nagorno-Karabagh war. I was in Ordubad in 2005 and while passing a semi-derelict house was told that it had been hit by a rocket in 1992, fired from Armenia. I don't see any particularly good reason to disbelieve that information. Several people within the house were killed, I was also told. So it would appear that the conflict was wider in scale than just the Sadarak rayon. Meowy 14:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I have actually read that at least four areas in Armenia (specifically in the provinces of Syunik, Vayots Dzor, and Ararat) were shelled from Nakhichevan by Azeri forces in 1992. This then prompted a response from the local residents of those areas (apparently against the wishes of former Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrossian). One of the areas shelled by the Nakhichevan Azeris was in southwestern Syunik (perhaps Karchevan). The semi-derelict house in Ordubad was probably part of the response given by the Armenians. However, I would need to do more research to find out what really happened. I would usually be inclined to believe the Human Rights Watch report, but apparently, it seems to be lacking details. -- Clevelander 15:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
