BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 27
Trend:
As a result of 'Smerch' missile attack by the Armed Forces of Armenia on the Barda district of Azerbaijan four civilians, including a child were killed and 13 civilians, including children and women, were seriously injured on October 27, 2020, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry told Trend on Oct. 27.
This is yet another war crime committed by Armenia in recent days in gross violation of the agreed humanitarian ceasefire for the third time through the continued efforts of international mediators and its commitments under the international humanitarian law.
Another bloody crime committed by the Armed Forces of Armenia on the eve of the meeting of the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Geneva is a clear demonstration that aggressor state Armenia is not interested in a political solution to the conflict and aims to undermine negotiations by all means, said the ministry.
The leadership of Armenia bears full responsibility for this crime against humanity against the Azerbaijani peaceful population, said the ministry.
“We call the international community to take a firm position to bring the perpetrators to justice,” the ministry said.
