During the ongoing trial at the Baku Military Court on May 5, video footage related to the occupation of Azerbaijan’s Lachin district by the Armenian Armed Forces was shown.
The video footage recorded by Armenians on May 18, 1992, shows burning houses in the Lachin district and Armenian soldiers. In the video, one Armenian soldier points to a burning house and says to another, "Ashot, see how it burns."
After this, victims were questioned.
Victim Jamal Mammadov stated that he was a resident of Jijimli village in Lachin district, and the village was occupied by the Armenian armed forces in May 1992. He noted that his father, Mehdi Mammadov, was killed by Armenian soldiers on August 12, 1989: "According to Russian soldiers, my father was shot by an Armenian named Kamo. I was 18 years old at that time."
Victim Aghali Ibrahimov said he was born in 1961 in the village of Jaghazur in Lachin district and lived there. He also stated that his village was occupied by the Armenian armed forces through an armed attack on May 18, 1992.
The victim mentioned that the village was located on the border with Armenia and was regularly shelled from the direction of Armenia's Gorus district, including its Digh village, before the occupation: "Until May 8, 1992, there was a sense of disorder in the Armenian attacks. But from May 8, the attacks were carried out under unified command. They especially used 'Grad', 'Alazan' rockets, and long-range artillery."
Ibrahimov stated that he left behind a two-story house with six rooms in Jaghazur village, auxiliary buildings in the yard of his house, fruit trees, cattle and small livestock, poultry, and household items and property. That is, he suffered great damage.
The trial continues for Armenian citizens accused of crimes against peace and humanity, including war crimes, acts of terrorism, the preparation and execution of aggressive war, genocide, violations of war laws and rules, forcible seizure and retention of power, as well as financing terrorism, among other offenses stemming from Armenia's military aggression.
