Azerbaijani police discover Armenians-left weapons in Zangilan

The Azerbaijani police officers found automatic rifles and grenades left by Armenians in the city of Zangilan.

On April 27, police officers found 4 automatic rifles, 1 machine gun, 3 magazines and 251 different calibre cartridges, were found and seized in Zangilan’s Taghly village, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Interior Ministry's press service.

The fact is under investigation.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched anti-terror measures to disable Armenian army forces and military infrastructure in the Karabakh region. The operation came on the heels of the intensifying Armenian attacks on the Azerbaijani positions and a mine incident in the Khojavand district that killed four Azerbaijani police officers and two road construction workers.

By the time of the cessation of hostilities on September 20, the Azerbaijani military disabled artillery systems, radio-electronic warfare, military equipment, ammunition depots, military strongholds, and shelters of the Armenian army formations stationed in the Karabakh region.

The counter-terrorism measures concluded after the Armenian military formations agreed to full disarmament by laying down arms, handing over the military hardware, and withdrawing from their battle positions and military outposts.

Armenia's armed forces were also obligated to leave Azerbaijani territory, and illegal Armenian armed groups were to be disbanded.
