Videos of another potential war crime have emerged as fighting rages around the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians.
Another execution by Azerbaijani soldiers was documented in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The footage which surfaces shows a wounded Armenian soldier, a prisoner of war, being shot-dead by Azerbaijani soldiers.
Previously, a video posted on a messaging app showed what appears to be two Armenians in military uniforms being captured by troops from Azerbaijan. A second video released by Azerbaijani soldiers showed the same Armenians being shot with their hands behind their backs. The prisoners of war were wrapped in flags of Armenia before being fired at by a row of opposition soldiers.
Armenian authorities had identified the men as Benik Hakobyan, 73, and 25-year-old Yuri Adamyan. Azerbaijan dismissed the videos as fake.
Europe’s top human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, said it received the video and will look into all alleged human rights abuses and take action when appropriate.
