Armenia pursued policy of illegal settlement in occupied territories of Azerbaijan

11:43 - 24.09.2021


September 24, Fineko/abc.az. In gross violation of international law, including Geneva Conventions, Armenia was blatantly implementing the policy of illegal settlement of people mainly from Middle East with Armenian origin in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. Encouraged by the long-lasting sense of impunity, Armenia was also announcing construction of new roads from Armenia to occupied territories to further consolidate the result of its aggression and speed up the illegal settlement.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated about this at the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly.

The Azerbaijan president said that in July 2020, Armenia perpetrated military provocation along the state border with Azerbaijan.

“As a result of the artillery strike inflicted on Azerbaijan’s Tovuz district, 13 military servicemen and civilians were killed. Later in August last year, Armenian sabotage group attempted to penetrate through the former line of contact to commit terror acts against Azerbaijani military servicemen and civilians but it was successfully neutralized.

In my statement at the General Debate of the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly on 24 September last year, I had warned that, “hostile, Azerbaijanohobic statements and provocations of Armenian leadership demonstrate that Armenia is preparing for a new aggression against Azerbaijan,” the president underlined.
