"Those, who carried out vandalism, destruction, and committed war crimes against Azerbaijan, were even glorified and presented as heroes in the Armenian society," said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the 6th Summit of the Council on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in Astana, APA reports.
"As a result of the victory gained in the Second Karabakh war two years ago, Azerbaijan liberated its territories from the occupation of Armenia, put an end to the three-decades-long Karabakh conflict, ensured justice and itself, enforced the implementation of the 4 UN Security Council resolutions adopted in 1993, demanding unconditional withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from Azerbaijan’s occupied territories.
Our cities and villages, cultural and religious monuments, and mosques have been purposefully destroyed, desecrated, and plundered throughout almost 30-year occupation by Armenia. Even mosques were used as stables for keeping animals.
Unfortunately, during three decades, we never heard any opposition from Armenian society to such vandalism, vice versa, this destruction and Armenian vandals, war criminals were even glorified and presented as heroes," Ilham Aliyev said.
