Comment by Spokesperson of the NKR Foreign Ministry Ani Sargsyan to Panorama.am News Agency
Question: How would you comment on the accusations of the Azerbaijani side that the NKR Defence Army is shelling the civilian population of Azerbaijan?
Answer: With such statements Azerbaijan has once again demonstrated that its cynicism and zeal to justify the failed military aggression unleashed against the NKR and numerous war crimes being committed by the Azerbaijani army know no bounds.
Undeniable proofs of the NKR Ministry of Defense that Azerbaijan deploys its military objects in the settlements along the frontline in violation of the norms of the international humanitarian law and thus turning them into firing positions, which threaten the peaceful population of the NKR, demonstrate the utter falsehood of the claims and criminal nature of the tactics of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.
