BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 5. Commissioner for
Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan Sabina
Aliyeva has released a statement on the second anniversary of the
first missile strike on Mingachevir by the Armenian armed forces,
where the Mingachevir hydropower station, the largest thermal power
plant in the South Caucasus, is located, the Ombudsman's Office
told .
'Thus, five people acquired severe injuries, and their houses
suffered significant damage as a result of Armenia's rocket attack
on Mingachevir with a population of more than 100,000 people. The
enemy's attack on the dam and power station in the city was aimed
at causing heavy losses and serious environmental consequences for
South Caucasus,' said the statement.
In this regard, Azerbaijan called on international organizations
to stop Armenia's war crimes leading to the risk of a deadly
environmental disaster in the region and a gross violation of the
civilian population's right to a safe life, Aliyeva noted.
'Armenia's large-scale military provocations against Azerbaijan
and landmine plating policy on our internationally recognized lands
with the help of sabotage groups are yet regular attempts to
exacerbate the situation, slow down the reconstruction activities
in liberated territories, thereby constituting obstacles for
sustainable peace and security in the region,' the Office
stated.
