"We do not attack civilians. After the ruthless attack of Armenia on the city of Ganja with ballistic missiles, which killed dozens of people, we openly said that we would take revenge, but on the battlefield.
We do not attack civilians. We do not attack religious places. What happened in the church in Shusha was either wrong - I have already openly commented on it - or it was committed by the Armenians themselves to blame us.
The statement came from President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Fox News in response to the reporter's allegations of attacks on civilian targets by Azerbaijan, AZERTAC reported.
Continuing his conversation on the subject, the head of state said:
There were military targets in Khankendi, the capital of the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and our attacks there took place only before October 9. Since then, we have not attacked any civilians or cities in Nagorno-Karabakh. But they attacked. Have you seen pictures of what they did in Ganja? ”The President of Azerbaijan asked.
President Ilham Aliyev said that the Azerbaijani Army was targeting military infrastructure in Khankendi, the capital of the so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic", because military bases and military infrastructure are located in the city.
As for the drones, the President advised the reporter to look at the pictures on the Internet:
"So far, our drones have destroyed more than 230 tanks. We destroyed six S-300 air defense systems and hundreds of armored vehicles. We do not use drones against civilians. This is false information. "
