We are witnessing ethnic cleansing by Armenia against the Azerbaijani people and cultural heritage in general. There is a long distance from Barda to Karabakh. It is very far from the war zone. The firing on civilians is, of course, barbaric, and the manifestation of terrorist acts can be considered a war crime.”
