Azerbaijani General Prosecutor's Office files criminal case over shelling of BTC oil pipeline

Armenia, grossly violating the norms and principles of international law, including the 1949 Geneva Convention "On the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflicts" and additional protocols to it, continues to terrorize the civilian population, the Azerbaijani General Prosecutor's Office told Trend on Oct. 7.

A criminal case was filed on the fact of shelling of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline upon the relevant articles of the Azerbaijani Criminal Code.

Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of the Azerbaijani army on the front line, using large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery on Sept. 27.

Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire front. As a result of retaliation, Azerbaijani troops liberated a number of territories previously occupied by Armenia, as well as take important, strategic heights under control.

The fighting continued into October 2020, in the early days of which Armenia has launched missile attacks on Azerbaijani cities of Ganja, Mingachevir, Khizi as well as Absheron district.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
