â€œTwo children fell victim to the Armenian terrorism this year. Armenian sniper killed a child playing in the yard in Aghdam in March this year. 13-year-old girl fell victim to the Armenian terrorist attack in the region, where I was elected from. I consider that the world community must not close eyes to it. Everyone must take a tougher stance on such cases,â€ he said.
