  Azerbaijan informs UK about Armenia’s deliberate targeting of civilians

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on Wednesday held a telephone conversation with Wendy Morton, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Minister for European Neighborhood, and the Americas of the United Kingdom.

Minister Bayramov informed his interlocutor on the deliberate targeting of civilian Azerbaijani population in gross violation of the agreed ceasefire for the third time, as well as the norms of international humanitarian law. He stressed that Armenia’s missile attacks at the Barda city situated far away from the conflict zone constitutes a war crime and crime against humanity. The minister emphasized that Armenian leadership bears full responsibility for the heinous attacks against the peaceful population of Azerbaijan.

Wendy Morton, in her turn, expressed serious concern over the civilian casualties and noted the inadmissibility of attacks against civilians, and stressed the importance of decreasing tensions in the region.
