Funny incidents from the years of Artsakh war: Artsakh national-liberation fighter, the commander-founder of the first intelligence unit Vladimir Vartanov in a talk with "Аrmedia" IAA.

In Getabek region, to weaken the existing Azerbaijani pressure, we resorted to an interesting trick. We decided and organized a football tournament between the Azerbaijanis fighting against us.  As a result, those who should fight against us, were playing football. I should say they were playing quite well, we were following them with binoculars. This took them about two or two and a half months. They were playing football and we were giving them big prizes.

Of course, they did not know that the tournament was organized by us, Armenians. Instead, they thought that this is organized by a huge organization. Fortunately, for a certain period of time the Azerbaijanis were busy with playing football and there were fewer attacks on the villages of that region.
