Azerbaijani MFA: 'Armenia has engaged in glorification of terrorism'

Today is International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to Victims of Terrorism, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Report informs.

"On this day, we remember and honor memories of innocent victims of Armenian terrorist attacks," MFA posted on X.

"Azerbaijan is not the only victim of Armenian terrorism. It is well-known that being a country supporting terrorism at the state level, Armenia's terrorist organizations, including ASALA committed more than 235 terrorist acts in 22 countries over the world. Following territorial claims against Azerbaijan, Armenian terrorist organizations targeted Azerbaijani civilians since the 1980s. About 30 large-scale terrorist acts, including bombings of public buses and metro trains were committed against Azerbaijani civilians," reads the message.

"Accompanied by terrorist attacks, genocides, crimes against humanity were committed against the civilian population during the occupation of Armenia. Khojaly Genocide, in which 613 Azerbaijanis were killed within one night is one of the vivid examples of these crimes. Instead of denouncing terrorism, Armenia has engaged in the glorification of terrorism. The recent unveiling of a monument in Yerevan dedicated to the terrorist Nemesis operation is one of the indications of that. Such irresponsible steps must be strongly condemned by the international community.

On International Day For Victims Of Terrorism, as a country suffering from terrorism that is threatening international peace and security, we are committed to further contributing to international counter-terrorism efforts."
