Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s Assistant Hikmat Hajiyev has accidentally confirmed Turkey’s direct participation in the Azerbaijani war of aggression against Artsakh.
The Azerbaijani Armed Forces are again bombarding Stepanakert city, the capital of Artsakh.
Hence by using cluster-warhead LAR-160 and Smerch missiles Azerbaijan is systematically committing grave breaches of international humanitarian law, demonstrating a blatant disregard for its human rights obligations.
President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan says he has ordered the Artsakh military to stop firing at military facilities of Ganja in order to avoid possible innocent victims among the civilian population of the Azeri city.
The Artsakh Defense Army units have inflicted heavy hardware losses to the Azerbaijani forces in the southern direction on October 4.
The Ministry of Defense of Artsakh has released images of seized Azerbaijani military equipment and ammunition.
The international community is well-aware that this imposed or instigated war has been well-planned jointly with Turkey. It is very obvious and documentally proved, Armenia’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Avet Adonts said in an interview to Indian media outlet WION, commenting on the ongoing Azerbaijani aggression against Armenia and Artsakh.
The Azerbaijani military continues striking the civilian population of Artsakh, including in the capital city Stepanakert, with internationally prohibited munitions, the Defense Ministry said, posting a video showing the heavy damages to civil infrastructure and remnants of the munitions.
The Defense Army of Artsakh is targeting exclusively military facilities of the Azeri forces, Armenian Defense Ministry representative Artsrun Hovhannisyan told ARMENPRESS.
