Foreign media
Japan’s media outlets covered the next military provocations committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh and the retaliatory measures taken by the Azerbaijani Army to ensure the safety of civilians.
Japan's influential agencies such as NHK TV channel, Kyodo, Jiji Press, Mainichi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun newspapers and other media outlets reported that the situation in the region is tense and that the fighting could lead to a bigger conflict.
Touching on the history of the conflict, the Japanese media outlets emphasized that Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan, but it was occupied Armenian armed forces on the eve of the collapse of the USSR.
It was mentioned that the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is the territory of Azerbaijan, began in 1988, and the fighting that lasted for about six years ended in 1994 with a ceasefire agreement. It was also reported that Azerbaijan does not agree with the occupation of its territories and the conflict continues today. Japanese readers are also informed about provocations committed by Armenians in the direction of Tovuz in July.
“We are fighting on our land. We will triumph,” the Japanese media outlets quoted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as saying.
