Expert: Armenian army constantly attacks Azerbaijani civilians, including children, women and elders
Baku, August 10, AZERTAC
“The Armenian armed forces constantly attack Azerbaijani civilians, including children, women and elders. They want to exert psychological pressure on servicemen and civilians on the frontline,” said military expert, editor-in-chief of AzeriDefence magazine Rashad Suleymanov. He commented on the Armenian armed forces` recent shelling of Azerbaijani peaceful citizens in Tovuz district, which saw 12-yer-old local resident Ramin Yusifov get severe wounds.
Suleymanov noted that nearly 10 Azerbaijani children have been wounded as a result of Armenia’s aggression in the past seven years. “Moreover, in Aghdam, Fuzuli and Tovuz districts, children were killed by Armenian snipers,” Suleymanov noted.
The expert said the Azerbaijani army has never attacked or opened fire on peaceful citizens.
“Two years ago the Armenians who lived in Talish and Madagiz villages of Nagorno-Karabakh admitted in their talks with foreign media that if the Azerbaijani servicemen wanted, they could shoot them. But they don’t. The Armenians themselves acknowledge humanity of the Azerbaijani troops,” Suleymanov added.
