Armenian leadership involves children in battles

Baku, October 24, AZERTAC

The problem of shortage of soldiers and officers has reached its peak in the Armenian army.

AZERTAC reports that the Armenian army, which was defeated by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, suffered heavy losses, and hundreds of servicemen fled, laying down their arms. The Armenian leadership, which could not find anyone to send to the front line, started to involve the battles children, along with elderly and women.

Video footage disseminated depicting the forced participation of minors and teenagers in the war in Armenia.

As it is seen from the footage, a teenage Armenian is taking part in the war against Azerbaijan. By doing so, the Armenian leadership is clearly violating international law, the requirements of the UN, UNICEF, the Paris Convention on the Rights of the Child.
