Appeal of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation to international organizations regarding the next attack of Armenian terrorists on Ganja

17 Oct 2020

On October 17, 2020, at around 1 am, 13 people were killed and 52 others were injured when Armenia again attacked Ganja, the second largest city in Azerbaijan, 80 kilometers from the conflict zone, with a SCUD / Elbrus ballistic missile many people were injured.

Among the dead and injured were minors, women and the elderly.
 
This is the third time in the last two weeks that the city of Ganja has come under heavy rocket attack by Armenia. It should be noted that 27 civilians have been killed and more than 100 injured in Ganja so far as a result of these attacks.
 
 The deliberate and deliberate bombing of Ganja, a city of 500,000, far from the conflict zone by the Armenian military and political leadership, and the killing of innocent civilians using high-powered SCUD missiles are among the bloodiest war crimes against humanity in the 21st century will receive.
 
This act of savagery, barbarism and terrorism committed by Armenia in the eyes of the whole world deeply worries us - the Azerbaijani Trade Union Confederation - as an organization that protects the rights of the Azerbaijani public and workers. This is not the only thing that worries us, it is the fact that the UN Security Council, created by the world community to stop and punish the aggressor in the world, is still silent about the humanitarian tragedy in Ganja, genocide and war crimes.
 
According to the UN Charter, international law and international humanitarian law, at least the political and military leadership of Armenia, Pashinyan and Tonoyan, who issued the order, and other military personnel carrying out the order must be declared war criminals and UN Security Council procedures must be put in place to arrest and punish them immediately. .
 
If the UN Security Council remains silent on the crime committed by Armenia, it will mean the full protection of the Armenian military leadership, which is an aggressor and murderer of the civilian population, and the justification of international crimes and complicity in these crimes and history will never forgive anyone!
 
Therefore, on behalf of the 1.5 million members of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation, we urgently convene the UN Security Council to condemn Armenia's crimes against humanity, to use its mandate to order the bombing of Ganja, and to kill a large number of civilians. We demand that appropriate steps be taken to severely punish Minister Nicole Pashinyan and Defense Minister David Tonoyan.
