Azerbaijan MFA calls upon the international community to strongly condemn Armenia’s aggression
“The military-political leadership of the aggressor Armenia continues to commit acts of terrorism against the civilian population, grossly violating the norms and principles of international law” the Azerbaijan Embassy in Islamabad said.
At least 46 civilians have been hospitalized with various injuries, and 14 have been killed so far as a consequence of heavy artillery shelling of Azerbaijani densely populated areas.
Armenian military units continue to subject densely populated areas – regional and rural centers, civil infrastructure objects – hospitals, medical centers, school buildings, kindergartens, administrative buildings of public agencies and household premises areas to intensive artillery bombardment.
As a result of the shelling of civil infrastructure facilities by the enemy armed forces, 116 houses, as well as 26 civil facilities, including a carpet weaving factory in Terter city, a modular school building in Tazakend village, Aghdam District, secondary school No.1 building in Shikharkh settlement, Tartar District, the building of school-lyceum No.2 in Terter city, the cotton plant of “MKT Istehsal Kommersiya” LLC located in Azad Garagoyunlu village of Terter District, the medical center in Gapanly village, Tartar District have fallen in disrepair. Vehicles belonging to civilians were severely damaged, and numerous small and large horned animals and haystacks were destroyed.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Azerbaijan is taking all necessary steps to ensure that servicemen of the Armenian armed forces who have committed various crimes are prosecuted and punished within the frames of international law.
Border clashes broke out last week when Armenian forces targeted Azerbaijani civilian settlements and military positions, leading to casualties.
International community should condemn Armenia’s aggression
Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry has said that the “Full responsibility for the present situation falls on the political-military leadership of Armenia.” It also stated that “the international community should strongly condemn Armenia’s policy of aggression and provocative activities against Azerbaijan and force Armenia to comply with the international law”, including its commitments under the international humanitarian law.
The illegal presence of the armed forces of Armenia in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions of Azerbaijan is a serious threat to regional peace and security” Azerbaijan MFA said.
