summoned to rule these armenian reservists and leaving the capitol. president nicol passion un called on men into military service after fighting erupted on sunday over the disputed province of new going on karabakh they will fight their neighbors as a by john for control of the territory. on the front line armenia says it is bombarding his eery forces and winning what both sides are calling a war the last time they force a 4 war was in the early 1990 s. after the collapse of the soviet union 30000 people were killed a cease fire was brokered in 1904 but sporadic fighting has continued ever since. nearly 3 decades later with twitter cell phone and drone videos information is a new frontline. in the 1st 24 hours of fighting amenia and

azerbaijan released videos and boasted of their military superiority each accusing the other of killing civilians and of hiring mercenaries from syria and the wider middle east to bolster their forces both of also released videos of so she's they've coote climbing casualties the other denies russia the e.u. and the us a calling for calm well turkey is backing as a by john. a little i doubt it will go away worth of i want to declare that not only is a by john but also to is at war with us using the main modern weapons and ammunition available in the turkish army drawings and aircraft. hospitals in a going or karabakh have received dozens of wounded soldiers and civilians they have moved some patients into bomb shelters. we have 30 wounded in their operations undergoing some push. in hospitals were evacuated into the bunker

and the seriously ill people are in the hospital we are working on high alert in a ready to receive the wounded. as a by john c. the violence has spread outside of nagorno karabakh with 5 family members killed in the city of nuff to learn many more were hurt. as the casualty figures climb amenia in azerbaijan and pushing on both appear determined to settle rooms nagorno-karabakh using weapons and words. dallas. here's our team this hour sitting course in the capital but we're starting with robert forester walker who is monitoring developments from georgia's capital tbilisi. actually we're going to go to send him 1st of all i said i'm sorry i got myself a little bit confused there you were at a government briefing i believe. yes exactly

came out as soon as we landed we attended a government briefing by the presidency and the ministry of defense let's begin with the casualties that are reported by the azerbaijan government here they say 20 civilians have been injured and 6 civilians have been killed during the attacks from the are many inside it to not going to be out. as a bridge on government doesn't give any number on the casualties. of the bridge on military side that's why some people also say that the numbers of civilian casualties even might be higher by the way the numbers need to get. to welcome all the rhetorical both as our bridge on our menu are in a way similar to each other because they both accuse each other of in mating each other provoking each other for aggression and today a presidential advisor he met again repeated these claims that our main yes should

stop its aggression especially toward civilian areas. that the villagers there are 7 villages that have been recaptured by the us average up the street from the iranian side and he said that families have been targeted houses have been targeted and it's in the script the iranian side have been targeting the civilians in the not going to fight about he said i have been hearing from my colleagues here that as a ridge on government actually evacuated some parts of the area some villages that's why there were less people in the in the area but it currently as of today the tension of the conflict is actually intensified in qatar city which has been attacked at tech but attacks by dire mania side then the president say advisers had

some interesting calls on foreign mercenaries at that they claim to have been grilled by the iranian side let's listen to that. it's an accomplice the baseless undrawn close to the earth and as a piece of propaganda point i mean you know where to. deflect attention from their side and deflect all the responsibility for doing that i think it's an actual army or. recruiters and terrorists from middle eastern countries. oh well both sides accuse each other for bringing foreign mercenaries especially from the middle east there are many inside accused turkey actually bringing free syrian army fighters to the as a bridge on site and as our base unofficial claim that iranians have been bringing fighters from syria and lebanon and says they're not officially registered on their guard and military they're not counted as casualties but c'mon coco says area is

a very colorful area it's multi-ethnic multi-cultural that's why it's a very complex and given the attention of the situation in the area if foreign mercenaries are involved and he accusations continue like this and there are solid grounds on these accusations this will be this area will be facing some more difficult days we can say about. as a by john thank you. turkey has been a traditional ally of john and president reject typer once as a medium must withdraw its troops from the disputed areas. so by john. once again i condemn which attack as a regime's lands yesterday turkey will continue to stand with the friendly and brotherly as a raging with all its resources and heart it is time to end the crisis in the region which started with the occupation of the nagorno-karabakh the region will

once again see peace after are many immediately withdraws from the lands it is occupying any impositions and proposals other than this will not only remain unjust and unlawful but will also continue to spoil armenia from farsi walker in tbilisi how the i mean is reacting to that sort of rhetoric from the turkish president. who they've been on an offensive today to state the it's not only the words of comfort that president at the one is giving to the years aries but also military support as well that is that is their claim not only in the form of facilitating mercenaries assume he was referring to there but also. equipment in the form of aerial drones unmanned aerial drones and f. 16 fighter aircraft. but again important to emphasize that

we've not been able to independently verify these statements. this is a this is an information war that is going on further more so the turkish elements of this let's not forget russia's. let's say its own military presence in armenia not incur but the russian rule so has significant role to play in keeping the 2 sides apart. but i think we should focus as well on what's been happening on the grounds what the armenians say they at least giving more let's say specific details about the casualties that they have sustained who are now at 59 confirmed soldiers dead and more than 200 wounded. i mean in defense ministry stating that the intensity of the bombardments of areas around town the

town of martyr kit is unprecedented we know that armenian civilians in these areas are sheltering underground in bunkers trying to avoid being caught up in this forest or walk with that update thank you robins in tbilisi. on to other news and hundreds of refugees on the greek island of last boss are expected to be moved to the mainland in the coming hours this group has been granted asylum after the maria camp was destroyed by fire early this month stephanie deca lives on the island of lesbos stephanie these are the very refugees you were speaking to only what a week or 10 days ago. but certainly among the same group of people wanting to leave the island which is spoken the last hour the ferry has now set sail you can probably make it out just about in the distance making its way to. mainly we watched around $700.00 people were told families and

also those classified as vulnerable being brought here by bus to boff they got off . holding their lives really in their hands in plastic bags you can see children very excited boarding the ferry they waited outside as the ferry started moving a lot of waving we heard some singing certainly i think safe to say we weren't allowed to speak to them but a very happy moment this is the dream come all for people to get official asylum status to be taken off the island to move to the mainland but of course you know it does remain a challenging time ahead but certainly this moment i think bittersweet really because just behind us we can see a lot of asylum seekers how they watch them go you still some of them waving i think to people they may have known and of course the dream is to get off the island so this is a very small group still around 12000 people remain here all with the same dreams you know this is what they all wanted wasn't it stephanie they wanted to get to the mainland but i wonder really what awaits them there.

well from what we understand from sources in the ministry of migration when it comes to these these people this group of around $700.00 is that they will be housed in hotel rooms where on the mainland and then at some point in the future they're going to be relocated to several european countries we don't have any more detail as to that but i think that certainly is the ultimate dream and i think that is also not certainly the common route many times come on i think this is important to stress even if people are granted asylum it remains a very difficult road there often particularly comes here to greece they have a month or so after they're gone to the side and then they're on their own and we've been talking to many n.g.o.s in greek lawyers who help with the whole process and lengthy process it's a complicated process and they will tell you that sometimes the life can be even more difficult because you're on your own there's very little interest integration programs after people have been here languishing in these camps for months and months if not years on and you know helping give integrate into society finding jobs speaking the language so certainly even though this is

a very happy moment it seems for these specific people things are there's a bit of a plan in general i think it's still very difficult for people moving forward even when they get their dream which is asylum stephanie decker on the island of lesbos thank you. in the news ahead as the world nears a sobering milestone of a 1000000 coronavirus deaths infections in india alone of top 6000000 and we will meet lebanese youths who are growing increasingly disillusioned as political paralysis dampens they are the change. hello the weather is set faffing japan over the next couple of days by a lot we have got a lot of nasty little circulation out into the open waters that says developing thai food actually but it will stay offshore so that won't cause us any problem
