2022-02-11 10:22:42 Azerbaijanis fired at residential buildings in Artsakh

“On February 11, at about 05:50, shots were fired in the direction of residential buildings from Azerbaijani positions located near the settlements of Karmir-Shuka and Tagavard in the Martuni district of the Republic of Artsakh.

Considering the distance to settlements and that the residential part of the village is visible from Azerbaijani positions, the conclusion is irrefutable that the Azerbaijani side directly attacked the houses of civilians, as a result of which residential buildings were damaged.

During the same actions aimed at intimidating civilians, the window of the house of a resident of the Karmir Shuka community was also hit, and the bullet penetrated into the living room of the house, where there were three minor children and a woman, who woke up from the shot.

The Human Rights Defender of the Republic of Artsakh reiterates that anti-Armenian and terrorist actions carried out near peaceful settlements of Artsakh and Azerbaijani armed strongholds pose a direct and undeniable threat to the rights of the people of Artsakh, in particular, the right to life.”

Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan reported.
