Sattar Mohbaliyev: "Armenia's war crimes continue"

22 Apr 2021

"Another military crime of Armenia is the failure to provide Azerbaijan with mine maps of the liberated territories.

Armenia must answer to the international court for both these and other crimes. ” The statement came from MP, chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation Sattar Mohbaliyev.
 
In an interview with Azerbaijan Television on April 20, the MP stressed that the views expressed by President Ilham Aliyev on the Zangazur corridor are of great importance for the interests of our country and people. One idea is entirely in the interests of Azerbaijan and puts the national interests of our people as a priority against the background of new realities in the South Caucasus. Speaking about the reconstruction work carried out in the liberated territories, the head of state said that work was underway in all directions to establish road infrastructure. As noted, the construction of the Fizuli-Shusha road is underway. The foundation of the Horadiz-Zangilan highway will be laid in the near future. The construction of Fuzuli-Hadrut, Fuzuli-Jabrail, Barda-Agdam, Goygol-Toganali-Kalbajar highways has already begun, and in parallel, the Barda-Agdam and Horadiz-Zangilan-Agband railway infrastructure is being created. This road will reach the Zangazur corridor. The President of the country voiced very important views on the Zangazur corridor in particular: “The establishment of the Zangazur corridor fully meets our national, historical and future interests. We will implement the Zangazur corridor, whether Armenia wants it or not. If he wants, we will solve it easier, if he does not want, we will solve it by force. As I said before and during the war, voluntarily renounce our land or we will evict you by force. That's what happened. The fate of the Zangazur corridor will be the same. Our main rival is time. Because the construction of railways and highways takes time. Therefore, all forces have been mobilized to implement this project. Thus, the people of Azerbaijan will return to Zangazur, which was taken from us 101 years ago. ” Not only the people of Azerbaijan, but the whole world knows that the President of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, keeps all his promises without exception. Therefore, it is safe to say that the commissioning of the Zangazur corridor is only a matter of time. "
 
Sattar Mohbaliyev noted that the Armenian government has not yet renounced war crimes and it is inadmissible for international organizations to take any measures in return. “As noted, today Azerbaijan has already launched major infrastructure projects in the liberated territories. Our President has repeatedly informed the Azerbaijani public about this. Work is underway to supply electricity to the liberated area. Also, work is underway in all areas to create road infrastructure. However, if all this work can be done faster, Armenia's next war crimes will significantly delay the implementation of this work. The point is that the Armenian side still refuses to provide Azerbaijan with mine maps. However, the head of state said that they had accurate information that they had such maps. By not giving these maps, Armenia commits another war crime. Under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan fought a restrained war. Damage to the civilian infrastructure of the opposite side and the loss among civilians was minimal. During the war, not a single civilian was harmed by our servicemen. The loss of less than 40 civilians on the Armenian side is a clear proof of this. However, Armenian armed forces have always targeted civilians. Even now, more than 100 Azerbaijani civilians have been injured and killed since the end of the war because mine maps have not been issued. Armenia must answer to the international court for all war crimes it has committed. ”
