Former RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page:
The military attacks of Azerbaijan in the direction of Syunik, Vayots Dzor, Gegharkunik provinces of Armenia (Jermuk, Vardenis, Goris, villages of these communities, etc.) are absolutely criminal, they are a clear aggression towards RA. In particular, the attacks against Armenia are currently in the direction of Goris, Jermuk, Vardenis communities and a number of villages.
These heinous acts are the result of impunity for Azerbaijani war crimes, a consequence of their genocidal policy.
It is clear that Azerbaijan was creating artificial grounds for attack under the guise of false peace. Not only did they never stop sponsoring enmity and hatred towards Armenians, but they deepened it.
