November 4, Fineko/abc.az. By attacking civilians, they (Armenians) simultaneously wanted to sow chaos and panic. But they could not correctly calculate the spirit of the Azerbaijani people.

ABC.AZ reports that the above-said statement was made by President Ilham Aliyev in an interview for Italian newspaper La Repubblica. The head of state invited the journalist to recall the chronology and look at it.

“Look at the chronology of events. First, ceasefire was agreed in Moscow. In less than 24 hours they attacked Ganja with ballistic missiles from the territory of Armenia. It is proven. Russia, France and United States and many other countries can detect the launch of ballistic missiles. So, they know, it was launched from Armenia, and Pashinyan was lying when he said that it was not them. So, that was in less than 24 hours. They attacked at night, in a very mean way. They attacked deliberately the residential settlement. And as a result of two attacks almost 30 people, innocent people, including children were killed. The second ceasefire was violated by them after five minutes of the announcement of that. And the third ceasefire they violated attacking Barda. So, it was not us. What were we supposed to do? Sit and wait when they are killing us? Of course, we respond and will continue to do it,” the Azerbaijani leader said.
