02 Nov 2020
On November 2, 2020, the Confederation of Trade Unions of Azerbaijan hosted a meeting of the chairman of the organization, MP Sattar Mohbaliyev with the heads of leading public organizations in Turkey.
The
meeting was attended by the Confederation of Trade Unions of Turkey (TURK-ISH),
the Confederation of Trade Unions of Workers (HAK-ISH), the Confederation of
Trade Unions of Employers (TISK), the Confederation of Trade Unions of Public
Workers (T. KAMU-SEN). The leaders of the Confederation of Trade Unions
(MEMUR-SEN) were present.
Welcoming
the guests, S. Mohbaliyev said that the Armed Forces of the Republic of
Azerbaijan launched a counter-offensive on September 27 in connection with the
attack of the Armenian armed forces along the entire front. Unlike the Armenian
armed forces, the Azerbaijani army only silences the firing points of the
opposite side. As a result, you know that part of our occupied territories,
including 4 cities, 3 settlements, about 200 villages were liberated from the
occupiers, and a number of strategically important heights came under the
control of our army.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
all our Turkish brothers, including the President of the Republic of Turkey,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for their unwavering support for the war for justice in
Azerbaijan. I believe that our brotherhood is irreversible and eternal.
The ATUC
chairman further said that the Armenian side violated the ceasefire and used
banned weapons against the civilian population of Azerbaijan. As a result of
this tactic implemented by the Armenian fascists, only the civilian population
suffered. On October 4, 11 and 17, 26 people, including 10 women and 6
children, were killed by rocket fire into the city of Ganja, far from the front
line. At the same time, 26 civilians were killed and about 70 were injured in
an attack by Armenian vandals on October 27-28 in Barda. Civilian
infrastructure, apartment buildings, private homes and vehicles in both cities
were severely damaged.
At the
same time, the Armenian armed forces in Tartar, Agjabadi. As a result of rocket
attacks on Goranboy, Naftalan, Aghdam and Goygol regions, civilians were killed
and their personal property, including houses and other property, was severely
damaged. In general, as a result of vandalism carried out by the Armenian armed
forces against the civilian population since the beginning of military
operations, 90 people were killed, 392 were injured, 2406 houses, 92 high-rise
buildings and 423 civilian facilities were damaged.
These
atrocities, the gross violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, are evidence of
the continuation of the genocidal policy pursued by Armenia against the
Azerbaijani people since the early twentieth century.
The main
goal of the Armenian leadership in firing on the territories far from the front
line and without any military facilities is to create alarm among the
population living in those territories. However, they forget that today's
Azerbaijan is not the Azerbaijan that just gained independence in the 1990s.
Today,
there is a strong Azerbaijan led by the President of Azerbaijan, Supreme
Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev. At the same time, the Armenians intend to
involve a third party in the ongoing operations. However, they forget that
today all of Turkey stands by Azerbaijan, including Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan.
Of
course, regardless of the goals of Armenia, their armed forces knelt before the
Azerbaijani army. Armenia will have to answer for all its actions against
Azerbaijan.
The
world community also knows that the use of ballistic missiles, cluster bombs
and banned weapons by Armenians against the civilian population is a crime. The
Azerbaijani government has submitted reports, appeals and statements to
international organizations regarding their crimes. These reports should be
analyzed by relevant international organizations, and the perpetrators of the
Armenian government and those who make these decisions should be held
accountable for crimes against humanity and violations of humanitarian law.
I think
it will be so. I believe that in the near future, our victorious army, led by
the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham
Aliyev, will wave the Azerbaijani flag in all settlements of the former
Nagorno-Karabakh region, including Shusha and Khankendi.
