Azerbaijani NGOs appeal to int’l organizations over war crimes

A conference organized by the Agency for State Support of Non-Governmental Organizations of the Republic of Azerbaijan was held in Ganja.

The conference, held at the Heydar Aliyev Center, was attended by about 100 representatives of NGOs who appealed to the world community in connection with the war crimes committed by Armenia in the cities and regions of Azerbaijan.

“As a result of the successful military operations conducted by the Azerbaijani army under the leadership of the President, Supreme Commander Ilham Aliyev, the Armenian armed forces were virtually destroyed. The Armenian government, in order to compensate for the defeat on the battlefield, targeted civilians living far from the war zone. As a result of the attacks undertaken, including the use of various heavy military equipment (artillery and ballistic missiles), civilians, including women and children, were brutally killed, and serious damage was caused to the infrastructure and property of citizens.
