BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. Azerbaijani Ombudsperson Sabina Aliyeva issued a statement on
opening fire in the direction of a checkpoint on the
Lachin-Khankendi road by the Armenian Armed Forces on June 15, as a
result of which a serviceman of the State Border Service of
Azerbaijan Elshan Rustamov has been wounded, trend reports.
The shelling of the Lachin state border checkpoint
from the territory of Armenia on June 15, 2023, at 08:45 (GMT+4),
as a result of which a serviceman of the State Border Service of
Azerbaijan who was serving there was wounded, is another clear
proof that Armenia is not interested in peace.
The Lachin border checkpoint, established on April 23,
2023, on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border on the Hakari River in the
Lachin district, ensures the safe passage of Armenian residents
living in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and the passage of
vehicles.
The shelling of this border checkpoint used for
humanitarian purposes should be considered as an encroachment on
the peace process in the region and the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, as well as a threat to the life and health of
servicemen performing their official duties there and the civilian
population using this checkpoint.
“As the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsperson)
of the Republic of Azerbaijan, I strongly condemn this military
provocation, which is a gross violation of and humanitarian
international law, and call on international organizations,
Ombudsman institutions and national human rights organizations
working in the field of human rights to show a firm position
regarding the prevention of such actions by Armenia, which pose a
threat to peace and development in the region," she said.
