Armenian troops have left their equipment and weapons on the roads leading to Fuzuli and Jibril cities in Nagorno-Karabakh region and are retreating.
The city of Fuzuli will probably be completely recaptured by the Azerbaijani army soon.
The Armenian Defense Ministry publishes new footage of strikes on targets of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the conflict zone in Nagorno-Karabakh.

-The foreign ministers of Russia and … Turkey called for an immediate cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh.
They also noted the inadmissibility of involving militants from other regions in this conflict.
-Armenia Ministry of Defense publishes footage of the destruction of Azerbaijani Armed Forces aircraft , called a drone.
/ presumably An-2 “Kukuruznik” in an unmanned version /
-Numbers of combat losses of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces according to the version of the Armenian Ministry of Defense / NKR JSC as of October 1.
1,280 servicemen were killed and 2,700 were injured, 90 drones, 4 aircraft, 12 helicopters were shot down, 181 units of military equipment, 3 TOS-1A “Solntsepek” and MLRS “Smerch” were destroyed.
-The Armenian Foreign Ministry declared the unacceptability of Israel’s position against the background of reports on the supply of weapons to Azerbaijan during the “hot” phase of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Armenian Ambassador to Israel has been recalled for consultations.
So important key of the day:
The main event was the coordinated declaration of the great powers on this issue, in which the warring parties called for a ceasefire. At the same time, the veils of Turkish participation in the conflict were finally thrown off, which the troika also announced in various forms.
At the same time, everything seemed to be unchanged at the front itself. This is confirmed by both the lack of intelligible news with a demonstration of success, and the active use of “video conserves” from the achievements of previous days. Moreover, both sides.
The tactics of the Azerbaijani army on the maximum dehydration of the air defense of the Armenian forces by destroying combat vehicles and provoking the launch of missiles became more obvious. It became clear that the Azerbaijani side is actively using various false targets and traps, including the unmanned version of the An-2 aircraft. This explains the fantastic applications of the Armenian anti-aircraft gunners.
At the same time, on the battlefield, the Azerbaijanis also actively used artillery and heavy flamethrower systems to destroy individual strongholds.
In these conditions, the main task of the Armenian side was the maximum preservation of manpower and equipment, as well as slowing down the pace of the enemy’s advance through the conduct of individual counterattacks and the application of fire raids, including long-range artillery.
It seems that tomorrow may bring a number of important injections, and these will largely depend on the rhetoric and actual actions of the United States, Russia and France.
