We are convinced that the Azerbaijani government will take all necessary steps to ensure the punishment of all those responsible for this bloody crime. We call on the leaders of the countries, the UN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the European Union to take decisive steps to get the Armenian to withdraw troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and finally to stop being indifferent to the killing of civilians, elderly, women and children," says the statement of the Azerbaijani Congress of Moldova.
