Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs again spreads misinformation, according to a tweet from the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Aykhan Hajizada, APA reports.
“The mentioned 68-year-old person, Vagif Cherkezovich Khachaturyan, is an internationally wanted fugitive of Meshali massacre, Khojaly,” he said in response to Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Ani Badalyan’s false information.
According to him, the investigation established that in 1991 he was among Armenian armed criminals who raided the village of Meshali and killed 25 people of Azerbaijani nationality, injured 14 people, and expelled 358 Azerbaijanis from their homes.
“It is unfortunate that instead of apologizing and helping to bring war criminals into justice, Armenian officials still try to justify illegal actions, including the abuse of International Committee of the Red Cross facilitation for deviation from the trial.
Moreover, the Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, who refers to international law and international humanitarian law, is unaware that the Lachin Checkpoint has been established by Azerbaijan in its sovereign territories, and no one can judge its legitimacy. The International Court of Justice has also rejected this claim by Armenia," Aykhan Hajizada underscored.
Notably, Vagif Khachaturyan was detained today by military personnel of the Azerbaijan State Border Service at the Lachin border crossing point of the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border while attempting to go to the Republic of Armenia under the guise of receiving treatment through the International Committee of the Red Cross mediation.
