Unlike the occupying country Armenia, during military operations, Azerbaijan complies with the requirements of the regulation of international humanitarian law
Information spread by Armenia about allegedly shooting down of 3 tanks, 2 helicopters, and 3 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) of the Azerbaijan Army is false and disinformation, said Lieutenant Colonel Anar Eyvazov, press secretary of the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
Anar Eyvazov added that the command staff of the Azerbaijan Army decided to launch a counter-offensive operation along the entire front to suppress the combat activity of the armed forces of Armenia and ensure the safety of the civilian population.
“We officially announce that the Azerbaijan Army does not target the civilian population, civilian facilities, and civilian infrastructure. Unlike the occupying country Armenia, during military operations, Azerbaijan complies with the requirements of the regulation of international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions. The Armenian army deliberately places its firing points inside and near human settlements. The Azerbaijan Army makes calls for the civilian population in the occupied territories to stay away from military facilities.
In addition, we report that our units have complete superiority over the enemy at the front. Victory is with us. Currently, there is a large loss of manpower on the part of Armenia. At the same time, the enemy's combat equipment and anti-aircraft artillery complexes were destroyed".
