Two years have passed since the first missile attack by the Armenian Armed Forces on Azerbaijan's Ganja city during the Second Karabakh War.
According to Report, on October 4, 2020, at around 10:00, rockets fired by Armenians hit a civilian settlement in the second largest city of Azerbaijan, including a two-story building, as well as private houses.
As a result of the enemy's bombing of Ganja, one civilian - Tunar Aliyev was killed, and 32 civilians were injured. Along with houses, civil infrastructure and ancient historic buildings were damaged.
This missile attack by Armenia was the first serious attack outside the war-torn Karabakh region.
After the incident, Azerbaijani Prosecutor General Kamran Aliyev issued a statement. The statement said that the preliminary investigation had gathered enough evidence that the so-called 'President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic' Arayik Harutyunyan directly violated the requirements of the Geneva Convention and committed acts of deliberate killing of civilians and creating panic among the people.
"Therefore, I have initiated a criminal case against Arayik Harutyunyan under articles 100.1, 100.2 (planning, preparation, initiation or conduct of aggressive war), 116.0.1, 116.0.6, 116.0.7, 116.0.8-1 (violation of norms of international humanitarian law in the event of an armed conflict), 117.2 (giving a criminal order during an armed conflict), 120.2.1, 120.2.4, 120.2.12 (premeditated murder), 186.3 (deliberate destruction of property), 214.2.1, 214.2.3 (terrorism), 218.3 (creation of a criminal association (organization), 279.3 (creation of armed groups not provided by law) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan and the investigation has been entrusted to the Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office," Kamran Aliyev noted.
During the Second Karabakh War, the Armenian Armed Forces attacked Ganja five times (on October 4, 5, 8, 11, and 17) with rockets and heavy artillery. As a result, 26 people were killed, 175 were injured, and civilian infrastructure and vehicles in the city were severely damaged.
A total of 93 civilians, including 12 children and 27 women, were killed, 454 civilians were injured, 12,292 residential and non-residential areas, 288 vehicles were damaged, and facts of damage to 1,018 farms were revealed during the Second Karabakh War.
