The US-based Azerbaijani community has demanded international
organizations to take urgent legal actions to bring persons
responsible for war crimes to justice, Azernews reports via the
State Committee for Work with Diaspora.
The appeal was issued by Azerbaijanis living in the US over the
mass graves found in Khojavand District's Edilli village and the
bombing of Azerbaijani cities during the second Karabakh war.
According to the committee, appeals were addressed to Human
Rights Watch, Freedom House, Front Line Defenders, Open Society
Foundation, and other international organizations on behalf of the
head of the United Charities for Azerbaijan Gunduz Tahirli, head of
Azerbaijani Women of America (AWA) Lala Rahimova, diaspora
activists Sevda Tahirli and Gunay Asgarova.
The appeals stressed that the Azerbaijani community in the USA
strongly condemns these crimes against humanity and peace and that
international organizations should not be silent about the
commission of these bloody crimes.
Furthermore, the appeal once again informed the global community
of the recent discovery of human remains in Edilli village. The
diaspora representatives emphasized that the remains belong to
Azerbaijanis, who went missing during the First Karabakh War and
that Armenia still refuses to provide information about the fate of
up to 4,000 Azerbaijanis and places of other mass graves.
Besides, it was noted that 93 Azerbaijani civilians, including
12 children and 27 women, were killed and 454 civilians got
injuries of varying severity as a result of the military aggression
committed by Armenia during the Second Karabakh War.
The appeal stated that Yerevan is attempting to hide the
committed war crimes from the international community.
The statement further noted that the Azerbaijani community in
the US honors the memory of Azerbaijanis, whose graves in Edilli
exposed another Armenian war crime, and civilians who died as a
result of missile attacks by the Armenian armed forces on
Azerbaijani cities during the 44-day war.
