ANKARA - Dozens of soldiers and civilians were reportedly killed in the clashes that broke out early Sunday.
 
Clashes started yesterday (September 27) between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Karabakh region.
 
While both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire in the area, other countries and international organizations have called Yerevan and Baku to end the clashes.
 
The Upper Karabakh administration announced that it lost 31 soldiers while Azerbaijan stated that Armenia's attacks caused civilian casualties.
 
Azerbaijan today issued a "final warning" to Armenia, which it said was continuing to "attack civilian settlements."
 
"The Ministry of Defense gives the last warning to Armenia that adequate retaliatory measures will be taken against them if needed."
 
Shushan Stepanyan, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, said today on her Facebook page that "Early in the morning, Azerbaijan resumed its offensive operations, using artillery, armored vehicles, including the 'TOS' heavy artillery system," news.am reported. https://news.am/eng/news/604537.html
 
"The Armenian subdivisions firmly have been repelling encroachments of the Azerbaijani subdivisions, undertaking appropriate actions, causing significant losses of the adversary's personnel and equipment," Stepanyan added.
 
Amidst the clashes, both countries declared martial law in some areas.
 
"At the decision of the Government, martial law and general mobilization is being declared in the Republic of Armenia. I call on the personnel attached to the troops to present themselves to their district commissariats," Armenia's PM Nikol Pashinyan said on Twitter yesterday.
 
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev also declared general mobilization yesterday.
 
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED
 
Armenia declared martial law and called in reserve soldiers. The Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh announced that 15 more soldiers lost their lives this morning, but regained some of the lands they lost yesterday.
 
CALL TO THE PARTIES FROM CHINA AND RUSSIA
 
Due to the escalating crisis, calls for restraint continue to both parties. The Chinese Foreign Affairs called for dialogue and restraint to the two countries, emphasizing that regional peace and stability are in the interest of all parties. Russian Foreign Affairs also called the parties for restraint.
