Tragedy of missing persons - one of grave consequences of Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan - President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. The tragedy of
missing persons is one of the grave consequences of Armenia's
aggression against Azerbaijan, said President Ilham Aliyev in his
address to the participants of an international conference on
"Addressing the Issue of Missing Persons: Upholding Families’ Right
to Know the Truth", Trend reports.
"As a result of the First Karabakh War, up to 4,000 Azerbaijanis
have been considered missing for more than 30 years. Among them are
civilians, including children and women. Six Azerbaijani citizens
went missing in the 2020 Patriotic War.
The new facts identified after the liberation of Azerbaijani
lands from the occupation have again confirmed again the witness
testimonies regarding the atrocities committed against the missing
Azerbaijanis. As a result of the exhumation work in the mass graves
discovered in those territories, irrefutable evidence has been
collected that the persons Armenia took prisoner and hostage were
subjected to torture, violence and inhumane treatment, and killed,"
said President Ilham Aliyev.
