Le Figaro deputy director catches Aliyev's "triple lie"March 18, 2022 - 17:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Deputy director of Le Figaro magazine Jean-Christophe Buisson has accused Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's of a "triple lie", after the Azeri leader claimed his army did not target civilians during the Second Karabakh War in fall 2020. "The incredible triple lie of the Azeri president whose armies bombed schools, churches and hospitals and who enlisted Syrian mercenaries torturing and beheading civilians and Armenian soldiers during the war in Artsakh. Images and testimonials exist," Buisson tweeted on Friday, March 18. Since the first day of the war, Azerbaijan targeted civilian infrastructure and peaceful settlements, which left hundreds of people killed and injured. At least 19 of the hundreds of Armenian civilians and servicemen who were taken captive by Azerbaijan during military hostilities in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), have been tortured and killed, which amounts to a war crime, according to the defenders of the rights of Armenian captives in the European Court of Human Rights, Artak Zeynalyan and Siranush Sahakyan.
