Ombudsman: Both Azerbaijan and int'l community responsible for war crimes against Artsakh people
The Azerbaijani armed forces attacked different parts of Artsakh’s capital Stepanakert and Shushi town more than 15 times on Wednesday, October 28, deliberately targeting the maternal and child health center and some residential and public objects, the Artsakh Ombudsman’s Office said in a statement.
One civilian was killed and two others were wounded in Shushi as a result of the attacks. The casualties in Stepanakert are being clarified. Large-scale destructions are reported in Stepanakert, including at the Maternal and Child Health Center.
“The Human Rights Ombudsman of the Artsakh Republic states that the Azerbaijani armed forces continue their deliberate war crimes against the civilian population, even targeting the Maternal and Child Health Center. These new crimes are a consequence of the international community's silence to the previous crimes, which encourages Azerbaijan. Therefore, both Azerbaijan and the international community are responsible for these crimes,” the statement said.
