Azerbaijan again targeted journalists

On October 2, while returning from Martakert, a vehicle transporting the journalists of the Russian First Channel, TASS, RIA Novosti, Shant and Factor TV came under fire.

We learn from the Facebook post of Factor TV journalist Robert Ananyan that, fortunately, there are no casualties: they have managed to reach the shelter. Several projectiles fell, there are fragments on the car, and the glass was also broken.

It should be reminded that members of several media outlets came under fire yesterday: in particular journalists of the authoritative French news agency Le Monde, Dmitry Elovsky, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the well-known Russian TV channel Dozhd, Aram Grigoryan, a cameraman of Armenia TV and Sevak Vardumyan, a reporter of 24News news website. The Azerbaijani Armed Forces also targeted the car transporting the personnel of Agence France-Presse (AFP) agency.

“Media Advocate” initiative once again urges the international human rights organizations and embassies to condemn the Azerbaijani actions.
