"I did not give the order to launch a missile attack on the city of Ganja," Arayik Harutyunyan said during the trial, APA reports.
Harutyunyan made a statement saying that he had made a statement regarding the bombardment of Ganja with missiles during the 44-day war and regretted it: "There is an opinion among the Azerbaijani people that I gave this order. This decision was not made by me. Yes, I had a statement regarding this incident. Now I regret this statement, I apologize. I did not have such a right, such an authority, nor the opportunity to express an opinion. I explained why I made this statement in my statement during the investigation."
