The Government of Armenia has committed systematic human rights violations in the Lachin road, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan told Report.
As noted, recently discovered evidence shows that Armenia’s military is continuing to plant landmines and booby-trap civilian homes in the areas from which Armenia was required to withdraw under the November 2020 Trilateral Statement: “This includes landmines manufactured by Armenia in 2021 that were transported into Azerbaijan through the Lachin road, in direct violation of the Trilateral Statement.”
“Armenia’s 'scorched earth' destruction of houses, combined with its deliberate and specific targeting of civilian properties with explosive devices, continues to prevent displaced families and communities from returning to their former homes and land over thirty years since they were forced to flee as a result of Armenia’s illegal occupation,” the Foreign Ministry said.
