Egyptian official: Armenians` killing civilians is despicable
By Laman Ismayilova
A deliberate murder by the Armenian military of civilians including a women and a toddler is the heaviest crime and despicable, said chairman of Egypt-Azerbaijan Friendship Group Abdulrahman Sad.
The official was commenting on the killing by the Armenian military units of Azerbaijani civilians in Alkhanli village, Azertac reported.
The Armenian armed forces, using 82-mm and 120-mm mortars and grenade launchers, shelled the Alkhanly village of Azerbaijan’s Fuzuli region on Kuly 4 As a result of this provocation, the residents of the village Sahiba Allahverdiyeva, 50, and Zahra Guliyeva, 2, were killed. Salminaz Guliyeva, 52, who got wounded, was taken to the hospital and was operated on.
Abdulrahman Sad reminded that the Armenian military units previously committed an awful genocide in the town of Khojaly, brutally killing 613 civilians, including women, children and the elderly people.
“It is important that Armenia commits itself to peace negotiations and fulfills all four UN Security Council resolutions,” he said, stressing that this is a key to solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and restoring peace and stability in the region.
For about three decades Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under control over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.
Despite a fragile ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenia keeps violating armistice with Azerbaijan.
