BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. Armenian Armed
Forces, grossly violating the requirements of international law,
including the Geneva Convention of 1949 relative to the protection
of civilian persons in time of war, committed war crimes against
Azerbaijani citizens, servicemen, in particular, injured and dead,
accompanied by torture and inhuman actions and continue to commit
such crimes, reports.
Azerbaijani Ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva made a statement in
connection with this. She said that video footage circulating on
social media in recent days once again proves the inhumanity of
acts committed by Armenian servicemen against the dead Azerbaijani
servicemen.
There are a significant number of videos confirming the numerous
facts of brutal murders of Azerbaijani prisoners of war by Armenian
soldiers with shots at close range in the head and heart area,
robberies, dismemberment into parts of the bodies of military
personnel, torture and insults by committing inhuman acts during
the First and Second Karabakh Wars.
'Facts related to this footage that shows war crimes committed
against Azerbaijani servicemen during the Second Karabakh War were
collected and brought to the attention of international
organizations in the form of appeals, statements and reports, and
this process continues on a regular basis,' Aliyeva said
She noted that by pursuing this policy based on racial, ethnic
and religious hatred, along with the presentation of unfounded
territorial claims against Azerbaijan, Armenia, instead of
suppressing war crimes against the country and bringing the
perpetrators to justice for previously committed crimes, prevents
the security and peace process in the region, committing
provocations.
'Once again bringing these facts to the attention of the UN, the
EU, European Council and their structures, and other competent
international and regional organizations, Azerbaijan calls for
urgent legal measures to be taken to account for those who have
committed these crimes against peace and humanity,” Aliyeva
stated.
