Bild editor: Many reporters can confirm Aliyev is lying about war crimes

PanARMENIAN.Net - Deputy Editor in Chief of the German newspaper Bild Paul Ronzheimer has said that many reporters covering the war in Nagorno-Karabakh can confirm that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is lying about the war crimes his army has been committing throughout the war.

In an interview with the BBC's Orla Guerin, Aliyev said the shelling of civilian areas in Stepanakert witnessed by BBC is “fake news”․

But Ronzheimer says not only BBC knows that the Azerbaijani President is telling lies.

"We were on the ground for two weeks, saw shelling of civilian areas almost every day and every night. There are many many reporters who can prove: You are lying!," the journalist said addressing the Azeri leader.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and terrorist mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.
