Five members of Azerbaijani family killed as result of Armenian shelling
As reported, on September 27, at about 06:00 the Armenian armed forces conducted a large-scale provocation along the entire front line. Positions of the Azerbaijani army were intensively fired from large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery of various calibers. The military-political leadership of Armenia, pursuing a hypocritical and unconstructive policy, also committed various crimes against the civilian population, deliberately and purposefully shelling densely populated areas of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and violating the fundamental norms and principles of international law.
As a result of Armenian shelling, five members of one family in the Azerbaijani village of Gashalti, Naftalan region, i.e. the head of the Gurbanov family Elbrus and four members of his family were killed.
We express our deep regret over the death of civilians and servicemen as a result of enemy provocations.
A criminal case was initiated under Art. 120.2.1, 120.2.4, 120.2.7 and 120. 2.12 and 100.2 and other articles of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. Currently, the necessary investigative and operational measures are continuing.
