(18+) Torturing POWs, atrocities, looting and vandalism committed by Azerbaijani troops

After ten months of a horrific blockade, Aliyev’s dictatorial regime from 19-20 September of 2023 used military power to exert control over the Artsakh, effectively erasing its indigenous Armenian population and rich cultural heritage.

Below are photo and video materials showing the result of the actions of the Azerbaijani army – bombed residential areas of Stepanakert, killed Armenian civilians, looting of a deported Armenian houses, cruel treatment of prisoners of war and desecration of the corpses of killed soldiers.

And this is a small part of the war crimes committed by Azerbaijani troops against the Armenian population.


WARNING! GRAPHIC CONTENT

Azerbaijani soldiers mistreat wounded Armenian prisoners of war, kicking them from different sides, hitting them in the head with their fists and feet. The bleeding captives are forced to crawl and are trampled on the wounds with their feet, forcing them to scream in pain. A young wounded Armenian captive says that he is unable to move, but one of the Azerbaijani soldiers with a knife in his hand once again kicks the wounds of the Armenian captive and, presenting a knife to the wounded soldier’s face, threatens reprisal with a knife.


This Azerbaijani soldier tells how he cut off the ear and head of an Armenian on live broadcast.


The other video shows two Azerbaijani soldiers with knives in their walking and looking for peaceful Armenians in Artsakh, in the video they say that they will cut off the heads of the Armenians, unfortunately Azerbaijani soldiers did that before.
