Armenian ombudsman shares photo of house under direct Azerbaijani target in Verin Shorzha
Armenia’s Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Arman Tatoyan has shared a photo of a house under direct Azerbaijani target in the village of Verin Shorzha in Gegharkunik Province of Armenia.
“This is the civilian community called Saradeghy of Verin Shorzha village in Armenia’s Gegharkunik Province, and this picture presents one of the resident’s home where they live with the family and have their cattle barn. The Azerbaijani military position is immediately above civilians,” he wrote on Facebook late on Friday.
“It is obvious from this picture that people are under the direct target of the Azerbaijanis. These are the situations I mean, especially when I say that the presence of their armed forces is in itself a violation of the right to life (along with other rights, of course).
“Yesterday we were in this particular place when Azerbaijani shootings started. The Azerbaijani military fires from this position as well; one of the residents' cattle was shot dead on July 23,” Tatoyan said.
