Baku: The Baku Military Court on Thursday screened video footage related to the occupation of Azerbaijan’s Kalbajar district by Armenian armed forces, APA reports. The footage opened with scenes showing the positioning of Armenian military units.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, one segment featured Monte Melkonyan addressing the militants, asking: ‘What have we done today? Where are we now? Where were we yesterday? What did we do?’ A militant responded, reporting that they were 20 kilometers from Kalbajar.

Melkonyan stated that Armenian forces had advanced from the western part of Aghdara and from the direction of Aghdaban, eventually reaching Kalbajar. He expressed hope that annexing Kalbajar to Armenia would make many roads accessible and that Azerbaijanis would understand the situation as definitive. Melkonyan, also known by the nickname ‘Avo,’ claimed he had killed approximately 70 Azerbaijanis on the battlefield.

The video further showed the bodies of Azerbaijani victims and footage of Armenian troops entering Kalbajar and surrounding villages. The trial continues for Armenian nationals accused of crimes against peace and humanity, including war crimes, acts of terrorism, waging and preparing for aggressive war, genocide, violations of the laws and customs of war, forcible seizure and retention of power, and financing terrorism, among other offenses linked to Armenia’s military aggression.
