First Vice-President: I call upon the international community not to remain indifferent to all happened

The First Vice-President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva, has made an Instagram post on Armenian armed forces' firing rockets on the city of Ganja.

In a post on her official Instagram page Mehriban Aliyeva says:

"Armed Forces of Armenia continue intensive bombardment of Azerbaijan residential areas, which is the blatant violation of the humanitarian ceasefire regime and the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

Today, around two o'clock in the morning, the rocket strike unprecedented by its cruelty was made against the city of Ganja.

As a result of this rocket attack, as the data show, nine people (including four women) have died, 34 are wounded while numerous civilian facilities came under the severe blow.

It can be said that the attacks against our cities and villages continued the entire previous day. Since the entry into force of the humanitarian ceasefire regime, the Armenian side has launched 548 shells into several districts of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Entangled by its inability to reconcile with its defeat on the battlefield, the Armenian side is deliberately attacking the civilian population.

I call upon the international community not to remain indifferent to all happened.

International organizations, rights advocating entities, mass media, and public opinion leaders must firmly condemn such barbaric cruelty to Azerbaijan's civilian population.

Yerevan must stop ignoring international conventions and UN Security Council resolutions, urging Armenian occupational forces to halt Azerbaijan aggression.

Showing a straight disrespect to the agreements reached with Russia's mediation in Moscow, Armenia provokes a new war stir-up in South Caucasus. The consequences will be devastating for itself.

Dear compatriots!

Today, you demonstrate such the best qualities of our people as unity, solidarity, compassion, and mutual assistance. All it can do is to create a feeling of immense pride! Truth and justice are on our side! We will win! May Allah rest the souls of the dead. I wish the soonest recovery to all injured. May the Almighty Lord protect our Army, our People, and our Motherland! Karabakh is Azerbaijan!"
