While expressing confidence that the commission will fulfill its mission with dignity, Kurt said that the commission will be recognized as a messenger of justice thanks to the expansion of its activity.
By assessing the victorious Azerbaijani troops’ liberation of the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia as a historical event, Kilic stressed that everyone's moral duty is to investigate the merciless destruction and war crimes committed by Armenia.
