Azerbaijani soldier behaves within norms established by international law

Using all means and resources, Armenia attempts to attack our country in the information environment after the Azerbaijani Army has begun a counter-offensive operation. Thereby, the enemy spreading information, videos, and photographs that do not reflect reality, is trying to form a negative opinion about Azerbaijan in the international arena.

Report informs referring to the Press Service of the Ministry of Defence.

The fake videos and photos demonstrate an alleged cruel treatment of Armenian prisoners and corpses by Azerbaijani soldiers that stepping out of the norms established by international law.

We declare that, unlike the Armenian armed forces, the Azerbaijani Army treats prisoners of war, wounded service members of the enemy, civilians, including corpses, following the requirements of the Geneva Conventions and the protocols attached to them, as well as shows mercy and respect.

The Azerbaijani soldier's behavior is based on the idea of respect for human being individuals and his dignity, and, unlike the Armenian military, our servicemen distinguish peaceful population, civilian and military facilities during a combat operation.
