[Regnum] Large-scale clashes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, during which small arms, armored vehicles, artillery and aircraft were used, are over. The parties return troops to their places of permanent deployment, refugees go to their native villages. The victims are being counted and the damage caused is being recovered.
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have officially accused each other of aggression. Information confrontation is taking place in the media, social networks, as well as at the diplomatic level. The incident became a new and, alas, a sad milestone in the history of the region - this is the first open armed conflict between the countries of Turkestan.
Determining who is responsible for the death of dozens and the injury of hundreds of people is a long-term and highly controversial matter. As long as the parties exchange accusations and question each other's arguments, the facts can be compared.
It is possible to understand the scale of what happened and draw preliminary conclusions about the course of events by comparing the numbers of victims and destructions. IA REGNUM has collected data on the number of people killed and wounded during armed clashes, as well as material damage.

[REGNUM] Azerbaijani political scientist Fuad Abbasov, who was previously deported from the Russian Federation and also known for his pro-Turkish propaganda, called to prevent the Victory Parade in Stepanakert on May 9 with the participation of Russian peacekeepers and to shell the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh from Grad multiple launch rocket launchers. Abbasov said this during one of his streams. Grad is the Russian made BM-21 rocket artillery rocket launcher system. Used by many nations.
Abbasov was outraged that in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian forces, together with Russian peacekeepers, would hold a parade in honor of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
“Yes, two Grads should be put there so that they don’t repeat this again,” Abbasov said.
Abbasov was immediately reminded of the situation in 2008, when Georgia struck with "Grads" on the base of Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali (South Ossetia). Then it ended with an operation to enforce peace on the part of Russia - the Georgian troops were defeated, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia gained independence.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two Syrians captured by Armenia during last year's war over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh were on Tuesday sentenced to life for fighting alongside Azerbaijan's army in the conflict, Armenian prosecutors said.
Clashes broke out late September between the ex-Soviet rivals over the ethnic Armenian enclave that for decades was controlled by Armenia-backed separatists.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... supported its ally Azerbaijan in the fighting and was widely accused of dispatching mercenaries from Syria to bolster Baku's army. Turkey has repeatedly denied the charges.
The two Syrian nationals, who were accused of acting as mercenaries for Azerbaijan, were sentenced to life in jail by a court in Armenia's southern Syunik region, a spokeswoman of Armenia's prosecutor general's office, Arevik Khachatryan, told AFP.
She added that the two men admitted their guilt. Important legal tip: Never, ever admit guilt. Caught standing over a bloody corpse with a knife in yer hand? Answer is "Wudn't me." Witnesses?? Your evil twin, Skippy. The defendants were found guilty on several criminal charges, including terrorism and violations of international humanitarian law.
In an earlier statement, Armenia's judicial system said the two men received "financial compensation" in exchange for taking part in the "aggressive war" that according to Armenia was started by Azerbaijan.
"Their actions were directed at destroying civilians" who were not involved in military action and "inflicting grave bodily harm", the statement said.
