The Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Ombudsman) Sabina Aliyeva has reacted to the mass burial, which was found in Edilli village of Khojavend district of Azerbaijan, liberated from the occupation.
Another mass burial was found in Edilli village of Khojavend district of Azerbaijan, liberated from the occupation. In that place of mass burial, 12 human remains whose hands and feet were tied with wire and rope, were discovered.
"Based on objects and clothing found, it was identified that those remains belong to servicemen. And this proves many statements about the torture and killing of Azerbaijani prisoners of war. There is a possibility that these remains found belong to our compatriots, who disappeared during the First Karabakh War, and until today no information about their life was known.
However, despite repeated calls, the Armenian side abode to provide the information about places of mass burial of Azerbaijanis in order to hide its war crimes from the international community, the discovery of this fact once more proved that Armenia blatantly violates the 1949 Geneva Conventions and pursues a policy of ethnic hatred against Azerbaijanis," Aliyeva stated.
Ombudsman also stated: "We have to recall that another mass grave of Azerbaijanis was found in this village in February of this year. To prevent Armenia's next similar crimes, the international community should respond adequately to these war crimes and hold perpetrators liable."
