The Azerbaijani armed forces have been shelling the Azerbaijani city of Tartar since this morning. Enemy forces purposefully target civilians and facilities in the city.
The Foreign Ministry issued a statement in this regard.
It was stated that by firing on the civilians of the city of Tartar, Armenia demonstrates its use of terrorist means against civilians and once again grossly violates international humanitarian law:
"Responding to the new act of aggression by Armenia, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces are carrying out counter-offensives, declaring that they are not waging war against civilians, women and children, and are carrying out counter-attacks within the framework of international humanitarian law.
The actions of the Armenian side, contrary to international law, demonstrate that the country uses all means, including war crimes, to achieve new plans of aggression.
We call on the international community to strongly condemn the war crimes that purposefully target Armenian civilians. "
