Azerbaijani FM comments on destruction of Azerbaijani cemetery by Armenians

Spokesman for Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov said that the ministry was waiting for results of the investigation.

“Azerbaijan will appeal to the international organizations once it is proved that it was committed by Armenians,” he said.

According to the diplomat, Azerbaijan raised the issue of destruction of historical monuments in the occupied Azerbaijani territories to the UN two years ago.

The cemetery in the occupied Gizilhajili village of Gazakh region has been destroyed by Armenians on Jan. 8, Deputy Chief of Gazakh region Police Office Adalat Sadigov said.

According to him, though the village is under occupation, the cemetery has not been occupied.

The residents of the village bury their relatives there.

Sadigov said they did not doubt that the vandalism had been committed by Armenians.

He added that the fact was being investigated.
