(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11. The
Azerbaijani army launched a counter-offensive operation, later
called the "Iron Fist", on September 27, 2020 in response to the
large-scale provocation of the Armenian armed forces along the
frontline.
The erupted 44-day Second Karabakh War ended with liberation
of Azerbaijan's territories from nearly 30-year Armenian
occupation.
First Vice-President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban
Aliyeva has made a post on her official Instagram page on the
Armenian armed forces' firing rockets on the city of Ganja.
Trend presents
the post:
“Armed Forces of Armenia continue intensive bombardment of
residential areas of Azerbaijan which is the blatant violation of
the humanitarian ceasefire regime and of the Geneva Conventions of
1949.
Today, around two o'clock in the morning, the rocket strike
unprecedented by its cruelty was made against the city of
Ganja.
As a result of this rocket attack, as the data show, 9 people
(including 4 women) have died, 34 are wounded while numerous
civilian facilities came under serious blow.
It can be said that the attacks against our cities and villages
continued the entire previous day. Since the moment of the entry
into force of the humanitarian ceasefire regime, the Armenian side
has launched 548 shells into several districts of the Republic of
Azerbaijan.
Entangled by its inability to reconcile with its defeat on
battlefield, the Armenian side is deliberately attacking civilian
population.
I call upon the international community not to remain
indifferent to all happened.
International organizations, rights advocating entities, mass
media and public opinion leaders must firmly condemn such barbaric
cruelty to the civilian population of Azerbaijan.
Yerevan must stop ignoring international conventions, and UN
Security Council resolutions urging Armenian occupational forces to
halt aggression against Azerbaijan.
Showing a straight disrespect to the agreements reached with the
mediation of Russia in Moscow, Armenia provokes a new stir up of
war in South Caucasus of which the consequences will be devastating
for itself.
Dear compatriots!
Today, you demonstrate such best qualities of our people as
unity, solidarity, compassion and mutual assistance. All it can do
is to create a feeling of immense pride! Truth and justice are on
our side! We will win! May Allah rest the souls of the dead. I wish
the soonest recovery to all injured. May the Almighty Lord protect
our Army, our People and our Motherland! Karabakh is
Azerbaijan!”
