Civilians of Armenia at the at gunpoint of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan

This is the civlian community called “Saradeghy” of Verin Shorzha village in the RA Gegharkunik province, and this picture presents one of the resident’s house, where they also live with family and cattle barn. The Azerbaijani military position is immediately above civilians.

It is obvious from this picture that people are under Azerbaijani direct target. I mean these situations especially when I say that the presence of their armed forces is in itself a violation of the right to life (along with other rights, of course).

Yesterday we were in this particular place when Azerbaijani shootings started.
Azerbaijani Military fires from this position as well; one of the residents’ cattle was shot dead on July 23.
