The statement reads that on March 8 of the current year, 9-year-old Fariz Bedelov died as a result of the sniper fire opened by Armenians from the occupied territory of Aghdam region. It is one of the most horrible incidents not only in the history of Armenian aggression, but also in the history of the whole international wars: “On the day of World Women’s Day, Armenians committed one more inhuman act by making unhappy one more mother. And it caused anger of all Azerbaijani women, children and young people. Fariz Bedelov is one of the thousands of peaceful children killed by Armenian military forces.

That is, 20% of our lands were occupied as a result of the Armenian aggression toward our country. Over 20 000 innocent people, as well as children were killed with special rudeness, their rights determined by international humanitarian law norms, in the main international law acts were violated, thousands of people, children were captivated….

…Despite ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenian side does not obey this agreement, ceasefire regime is violated constantly. Consequently, Azerbaijani servicemen and civilians are killed and captivated every day.

The murder of the child is the inhuman act, the infringement of international legal documents and necessitates the usage of the certain sanctions by UNO.

Despite Azerbaijani Ombudsman’s addresses with the statements to the international organizations, foreign countries’ ombudsmen, Diaspora organizations on Armenian aggression, Khojaly genocide, 31st March – the Genocide of the Azerbaijanis, January 20 tragedy, these issues have not been still legally evaluated and declared. Nobody must remain indifferent to such cruelty, mercilessness and inhuman incident.

Azerbaijani people want to live in a peaceful condition and restore their violated rights. Therefore, addressing to the world community we call everybody to support our just work. We believe that, the murder of innocent child will be condemned by the world with severe reaction and serious measures will be made in order to prevent such cases.

The statement was addressed to UN Head Office, UN Supreme Commissar for Human Rights, the European Commission, the European Union, OSCE, International and European Ombudsmen Institute, Asia Ombudsmen Institute, Azerbaijani embassies in the foreign countries and foreign countries’ embassies in Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations.
