Ilham Aliyev should be tried by an international tribunal for the crimes in Nagorno-Karabakh, the statement of the Assadakah Italia Federation and Arabic-Italian and Mediterranean center Onlus says.  

The statement of the organization reads:

“The organization condemns the military attack of Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh and states about the military crimes of Baku army, about constant violations of international law, such as irregular firing by the Azerbaijani artillery at residential settlements and schools, beheading of Armenian soldier in Karabakh and the solemn demonstration of his head, as well as the barbarian murder of an elderly Armenian couple in their home in Talish village. They were killed together with their daughter.

Assadakah Italia Federation demands that the Azerbaijani dictator Ilham Aliyev be taken to international tribunal and be tried as a military criminal together with other officials responsible for such violence.

The Federation expresses serious concern about the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and is uptight about ethnic and religious cleansings of the Armenian and Christian population by Azerbaijan. This danger can be exclaimed by the presence of an unknown number of Islamic State fighters among the Azerbaijani soldiers. During the last months, Ankara and Baku media outlets published a number of articles on the Azerbaijani fighters who have returned home. They mention about 3,000 fighters, many of whom are now in Azerbaijan and must be considered as dangerous terrorists.

Assadakah Italia  Federation states that a century after the Armenian Genocide, the danger lies in that Turkey and Azerbaijan can together commit a new crime against humanity.

Assadakah Italia Federation calls on the Government and Parliament of Italy to take decisive measures against Azerbaijan. Italy should also take a tough stance on the consequences of terrorism, which can follow from Azerbaijan.  The Federation urges the [Azerbaijani] authorities to observe the agreements on ceasefire.”
