The visit by foreign diplomats accredited to Azerbaijan to the near front zone is a PR campaign, David Babayan, Spokesperson for the Nagorno Krabakh President, told ArmInfo.
"If these diplomats are real professionals, they should conduct a comprehensive and deep analysis of what has happened in fact. They should inquire into the facts and do not Baku's bidding," he said. It is no secret, Babayan said, that during the "four-day" April war, the residents of the populated areas located close to the Line of Contact of the troops were evacuated.
"It is no secret that ISIS militants and Azerbaijani soldiers robbed the property of the evacuated villagers, burnt and destroyed some of their houses. Let the diplomats inquire into those facts. Let them ask how many young Azerbaijani soldiers were raped by the ISIS militants fighting on the side of the Azerbaijani forces. If the foreign diplomats really want to learn what in fact has happened, let them start with those facts," Babyan said.
As for the situation on the Line of Contact of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops, the spokesperson of the NKR president said the situation is relatively calm as compared to the April of the current year and the general situation of the last 1-2 years.
On May 6, Azerbaijan's leadership organized a visit of the foreign diplomats to the Terter and Aghdam regions. The diplomats were taken to the areas were houses and infrastructures were destroyed allegedly by the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh.
Earlier, the NKR Defense Army published pictures proving that Azerbaijan has emplaced its military facilities in the populated areas along the Line of Contact, which runs contrary to the International Law.
