"International journalists who visited Aghdam, or rather those left behind, called it Hiroshima in the Caucasus. I say it's worse than Hiroshima. " The statement came from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of State via video conference, Gadin.Net reported. He said that Hiroshima was a nuclear tragedy, but that barbarians and vandals did not pass through it. “The city of Aghdam was completely destroyed during the occupation.
Deliberately, purposefully. Just like the city of Fizuli. When I liberated this city and I ordered a flag to be raised in one of the buildings, they said there was not a single safe building. Thousands of people lived in this city. Everything was destroyed here. " The head of state noted that the situation was the same in Jabrayil and dozens of villages.
"This is a war crime, an event the world has not seen in the last 100 years." The President of the Republic of Azerbaijan reminded that there were settlements in the cities inhabited by Armenians, but they were also destroyed when the residents left the region. "This vandalism has continued to this day," said President Ilham Aliyev.
