"Today, the Armenian armed forces once again grossly violated the terms of the humanitarian ceasefire by shelling the city of Barda outside the combat zone." First Vice President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva wrote about the Armenian rocket attack on Barda on her Instagram account: Four civilians, including a seven-year-old girl, were killed when Smerch cassette rockets fired. Fourteen people, including four children, were seriously injured. The killing of civilians during armed conflict is a gross violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law as a whole.
How many more innocent people must be killed by the Armenian aggressors so that the world community can stop watching these crimes in silence? I offer my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to the injured. We will liberate our land from aggressors and put an end to these crimes. May Almighty God protect our Motherland! ”
