Of the 197 wounded, about 45% are serious, 15% are extremely serious, unfortunately, we also have such injuries that have resulted in death; we have 12 cases of death, because there was an injury incompatible with life. We performed surgery on more than 30% of the injured, the rest are receiving treatment at home. Now all the wounded are lying in the Republican Medical Center and are receiving appropriate treatment," explained Mher Musayelyan. According to him, the medical center also lacks equipment, and there are injured people who need to be transferred to different medical centers of the Republic of Armenia. "From the point of view of the equipment, we do not have laboratory research, but there are such wounded who need further treatment or the second stage of surgery, who may have to be transferred to RA medical institutions," he added.

On September 20, it became known that the authorities of the Republic of Artsakh accepted the proposal of the command of the Russian peacekeeping mission regarding the cessation of fire. Proposal by Azerbaijan envisages the withdrawal of the remaining units and servicemen of the RA Armed Forces from the deployment zone of the Russian peacekeeping troops and the dissolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh armed formations, the complete disarmament of the Defense Army, as well as the withdrawal of heavy equipment and weapons from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to quickly eliminate them. In addition, on Thursday, the representatives of Artsakh and Azerbaijan will meet in Yevlakh, a city in Azerbaijan located about 100 km northeast of Stepanakert, and the issues of ensuring the security of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians will be discussed.
