Armenia's artillery attacks killed 24 Azerbaijanis, injured 121: MFA

According to Report, the press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan reads:

In the framework of its new aggression against the Republic of Azerbaijan, Armenia's armed forces are deliberately targeting the civilian population and infrastructure of Azerbaijan in violation of fundamental norms and principles of international law, including international humanitarian law, as well as Armenia's relevant international obligations.

As a result of Armenia's artillery and missile attacks, 24 Azerbaijani civilians were killed, 121 injured, more than 300 residential buildings and civilian objects destroyed. 

Missile attacks on Azerbaijan's second-biggest city Ganja, industrial town of Mingachevir, as well as the Khizi and Absheron regions of Azerbaijan, targeting densely populated areas and critical infrastructure from the territory of Armenia, is an intentional provocation designed to enlarge the zone of hostilities and bring the third countries into the conflict. 

Azerbaijan disposes of concrete facts on Armenia's shelling the Azerbaijani civilians and infrastructure from Armenia's territory, namely from Gorus, Sisian, Vardenis, Jermuk, and Berd towns of Armenia. 

This evidence collected with local and international experts, including the foreign journalists on the ground, will be presented to the relevant international organizations. 

We urge Armenia to obey international law norms and principles, including its obligations under the international humanitarian law, and implement the UN Security Council's demands for immediate, complete, and unconditional withdrawal from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. 

We reiterate that Armenia's leadership bears full responsibility for the results of the counter-offensive measures to be taken by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan to ensure the security of its civilians and residential areas deep inside the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan.
