The deliberate killing of a peaceful population in the city of Barda by the armed forces of Armenia constitutes an act of genocide, a war crime, and a crime against humanity
On 28 October 2020, the armed forces of Armenia hit the city of Barda of Azerbaijan with a "Smerch" multiple rocket launcher system causing serious civilian causalities. As a result of the treacherous missile attack on the city of Barda 21 civilians, including children were killed and more than 70 people seriously injured.
Targeting yet another time the residential area in the city
situated far away from the conflict zone, which has no signs of military
targets exposes once again the terrorist nature of Armenia.
The deliberate killing of a peaceful population in the city
of Barda by the armed forces of Armenia constitutes an act of genocide, a war
crime, and a crime against humanity.
It is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law
by Armenia and the leadership of Armenia, including the Prime Minister and
Minister of Defence of the country bear full responsibility for this crime.
By attacking the Azerbaijani residential areas and civilians
during the formally declared humanitarian ceasefire and on the eve of the
Geneva meeting of the Foreign Ministers of both states with the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs, Armenia obviously aims to undermine the negotiations, increase
the tensions and involve the third states to the conflict.
Remaining silent about the barbaric acts of Armenia and
impunity for these crimes against the Azerbaijani peaceful population equals
inciting perpetrators for further atrocities. The international community
should take necessary steps to stop Armenia from violating international law,
purposefully killing the civilians, and demand to withdraw its armed forces
from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan will do its utmost that those responsible for these inhuman acts do not escape justice and are held accountable.
