The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs made an official statement, the department’s position was expressed regarding the accusations of the Azerbaijani side of “war crimes” by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia in connection with videos, reconciled in social networks. This was stated by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Leila Abdullaeva.
“The military prosecutor’s office of Azerbaijan made a statement about the beginning of a comprehensive investigation of videos common on social networks. We would like to emphasize that this investigation was not started in response to any calls, namely, that Azerbaijan is always seriously referred to international obligations, ”said Abdullaeva.
Further, Abdullaeva points out that the world community has never been in 30 years, as well as during the Second Karabakh war in the fall of 2020, the war crimes committed by Armenia condemned. “As for the calls of some Western states, it is interesting what calls these persons made for 30 years in connection with numerous military crimes committed by the Armenian side in front of the world community, as well as during the 44-day war of 2020, in connection with the investigation of these crimes, the punishment of the perpetrators? Why and today they ignore the fact that the mines of Armenian production kill civilians in the territory of Azerbaijan? Or the installation of mines on the territory of another state at a time when no military operations are underway, is not considered a war crime? Responsibility for death up to 250 A person, the vast majority of whom are civilians, definitely lies with the military-political leadership of Armenia. However, so far not a single person in Armenia has been held accountable for numerous war crimes, crimes against humanity, committed since the early 90s and ongoing continuing still “.
“If those who are calling for Azerbaijan want to demonstrate impartiality and a fair position, they should approach the issue comprehensively, investigate numerous crimes committed so far by Armenia, and demand holding the perpetrators accountable. Otherwise, this is nothing more than a one -sided statement , made as a result of Armenian propaganda, ”said Abdullaeva.
