BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 7. As a result of
the aggressive war waged by Armenia’s armed forces and illegal
armed formations, a total of 925 settlements in Azerbaijan –
including 12 cities, 18 settlements, and 895 villages – were
occupied for many years, causing significant destruction. The
occupation led to damages exceeding 19 billion manats across 37,168
private and state-owned properties, Trend reports.
State Prosecutor Tarana Mamedova made these remarks during
today’s court hearing on the criminal cases against Armenian
citizens Arayik Harutyunyan, Arkady Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Davit
Ishkhanyan, Davit Babayan, Lyova Mnatsakanyan, and others. The
defendants stand accused of committing crimes against peace and
humanity, war crimes—including the preparation and waging of an
aggressive war—genocide, violations of the laws and customs of war,
as well as terrorism, financing terrorism, violent seizure of
power, and numerous other offenses.
