According to a recent report by “Fact” newspaper, the ongoing conflict in the Azerbaijani-occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region has resulted in numerous casualties and a large number of displaced residents. One tragic incident occurred on September 25, near the Stepanakert-Askeran highway, where a benzene depot was hit by a projectile, resulting in approximately 220 casualties. The majority of the victims were civilians, raising the question of whether their families should receive financial compensation for the hostilities.

While there have been rumors about providing assistance to the victims and the wounded, no official statement has been released by the government. However, medical authorities have taken measures to provide necessary assistance to those injured in the conflict. Mesrop Araqelyan, the President of the “Country of Survival” Association, recently voiced his opinion on Facebook, stating that the government should provide appropriate compensation in cases like this. He emphasized that if the warehouse explosion is unrelated to military operations, it cannot be overlooked by the authorities, as they have previously provided support in similar incidents.

In light of Araqelyan’s comments and our own belief, it is crucial for a clear decision to be made regarding compensation for any sincere individuals affected by the conflict, including those impacted by the recent tragedy near the Stepanakert-Askeran highway.
