The investigation into the aggressive war unleashed and conducted by the military-political leadership of the Republic of Azerbaijan against the Republic of Artsakh continues within the Main Department for Military Investigations of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia. This includes the use of mercenaries recruited in advance during military operations, applying prohibited methods and means of warfare, failing to distinguish between civilian populations and military personnel, and systematically, deliberately targeting the civilian population of peaceful communities in Artsakh.
