BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. There is
sufficient photo and video evidence in open sources and on the
Internet of the inhumane acts committed by Armenia against
Azerbaijanis during the First Karabakh War. Although some of those
who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity are facing
justice in Azerbaijan today, not a single person has been held to
account for this in Armenia. On the contrary, they have been
treated as heroes, 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.
“At the same time, military criminals and commanders in Armenia
stated at different times that they had information about mass
graves. Nevertheless, Armenia still refuses to provide information
about the location of these graves, including the remains of the
National Hero of Azerbaijan, Natig Gasimov.
Armenia should abandon its destructive position and fulfil its
obligations arising from international humanitarian law. If Armenia
is genuinely interested in achieving peace with Azerbaijan, then it
must strongly condemn the atrocities committed against the captured
Azerbaijanis hostages and prisoners and punish the perpetrators.
This could also be an effective confidence-building measure between
the two countries,” noted the head of state.
