Today, the killing of 55 years old civilian resident of Martakert city of Artsakh is the direct consequence of the continuous policy of Armenophobia and enmity of Azerbaijani authorities.

The RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote this on his Facebook page, continuing.

Mr. Aram Tepnants, a peaceful resident, was killed by a sniper while working in a pomegranate orchard. This information has been confirmed by the Human Rights Ombudsman of Artsakh.

This criminal act of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the killing of the Armenian civilian resident of Artsakh, is a blatant intentional unlawful violation of his right to life.

This tragic incident proves yet again that the guaranteeing of the right to life, the right to secure and peaceful life and other vital rights of the Armenian population is impossible in the conditions of Azerbaijani policy of hatred and enmity and due to the fact that those who have committed these criminal acts, and the Azerbaijani authorities who promote Armenophobia remain unpunished.
