ArmInfo. The RA MFA reacted to the threat of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry to launch a missile strike at the Armenian nuclear power plant in Metsamor.
For example, the statement of the RA Foreign Ministry, received by ArmInfo, reads in particular: "The threat of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry to launch a missile strike on the Armenian nuclear power plant in Metsamor testifies to the degree of despair and crisis of consciousness of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.
The actions threatened by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law in general, and in particular of the First Additional Protocol of the Geneva Convention. Such threats are a direct manifestation of state terrorism and express the genocidal intentions of Azerbaijan. Moreover, making such statements, the leadership of Azerbaijan poses a threat to all the peoples of the region, including its own people.
We strongly condemn the nuclear threats from Azerbaijan, which testify to the absolute lack of common sense and a sense of responsibility on the part of this member of the international community. Azerbaijan must immediately publicly renounce these threats. "
Earlier, the head of the press service of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Vagif Dargahli, said that the Armenian side should not forget that the most modern missile systems in service with the Azerbaijani army allow hitting the Metsamor nuclear power plant with high precision, which will lead to a big catastrophe for Armenia.
