Soldiers of the 543rd Regiment of the Armenian Armed Forces refused to go to Nagorno-Karabakh en masse. The statement came from the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry. It was reported that the military prosecutor's office, which arrived at the military unit immediately, threatened the servicemen who refused to go to war with arrest and forced them to sign an undertaking to perform any combat mission.
A similar incident took place in a military unit stationed in the Armenian settlement of Koti. The servicemen were arrested by the military police for refusing to go to war. Despite all the sanctions, the leadership of the Armenian Defense Ministry is powerless to prevent those who refuse to go to Nagorno-Karabakh. The reason for the mass withdrawal of Armenian servicemen from the battle is the video footage of the Azerbaijani Army's victories on the battlefield and the destruction of a large number of combat equipment and manpower as a result of accurate fire strikes on the enemy
