Many Italian mass media, including the prestigious ‘Il Giornale’ newspaper, ‘Adnkronos’ news agency, ‘Kmetro0’, ‘Notizie Tiscali’, ‘Notizie Yahoo’, ‘Occhio Notizie’, ‘Telenicosia’, ‘Politicamente Corretto’, ‘Agenzia Nova’ and other media outlets published the statement made by Azerbaijani ambassador to Italy Mammad Ahmadzade, regarding the recent rocket attack by the Armenian armed forces on the city of Ganja and the war crimes committed against the civilian population of Azerbaijan.
The diplomat called on the Italian government, members of parliament, political parties, and mass media not to remain indifferent to Armenian military provocation against Azerbaijan and Armenian war crimes against Azerbaijani civilians. The ambassador noted that 60 civilians were killed, and 270 were injured as a result of the Armenian rocket attacks on Azerbaijan’s civilian settlements starting from September 27.
The ambassador also emphasized: “Finally, it is necessary to understand that this conflict has nothing to do with religion! It is necessary to understand that Armenia does not want peace! It should be understood that Armenia wants to continue the occupation of Azerbaijani lands. It should be understood that Armenia does not want the more than 1 million Azerbaijanis expelled from the occupied territories to return to their native lands. To achieve this, Armenia carries out propaganda against Azerbaijan full of lies and frauds.”
The ambassador stated: “If Armenian wants peace, it must withdraw its armed forces from Azerbaijan’s occupied territories. The existence of Armenian armed forces in Azerbaijan’s occupied territories is a main threat to peace in the region.
