Azerbaijani Ombudsman Calls Int'l Organizations To React To Mass Grave Found Inside Shusha Prison
(MENAFN- AzerNews) Another mass grave was discovered in Shusha, proving that people
had been killed and buried en masse in Azerbaijan's liberated
territories during the Armenian occupation, Azernews reports.
According to preliminary information, the remains of at least
four people were found in that cemetery.
One of the special highlights is that a mass grave was
discovered on the territory of the Shusha prison. This fact has
once again confirmed the allegations and witness statements that
the Azerbaijanis who were illegally detained in Shusha prison were
subjected to terrible torture and inhumane treatment in that
prison.
We regret to inform that the number of facts about crimes
committed by Armenia in violation of the requirements of
international humanitarian law is not affected by this. Thus, the
Ombudsman addressed appeals to the world community regarding the
previously discovered mass burial sites in Azerbaijan's liberated
territories and prepared a separate report on the results of
on-site investigations conducted in the graves found in Edilli
village of Khojavend district.
The continuous discovery of mass graves in the liberated
territories once again proves the genocide and ethnic cleansing
policy carried out by Armenia against Azerbaijanis. At the same
time, we would like to emphasize that Armenia's failure to provide
any information about the fate of nearly four thousand Azerbaijanis
who disappeared during the First Karabakh War has been causing the
family members of those persons to suffer deeply for many years.
The Armenian side has evaded its responsibility in this matter as
well and avoided providing information about mass burial sites.
As the Azerbaijani Ombudswoman, I once again call on the world
community to take necessary measures against Armenia in connection
with such cases, which prove a gross violation of international
legal norms, human rights, and freedoms, and to provide support in
obtaining information about the fate of our missing
compatriots.
