The Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs announced Friday that intentional fires were started by Armenians in Khankendi in the Karabakh region while administrative archives were also burned and destroyed.

It said all areas were kept under full control and observation after the anti-terrorist operation was carried out in Karabakh.

“It is observed that in the city of Khankendi, the opposing party deliberately set fires and destroyed documents, material evidence and archives in various administrative buildings,” it said in a statement.

The Azerbaijani army launched an anti-terror operation in Karabakh on Sept. 19 to establish constitutional order.

Illegal Armenian armed forces in Karabakh laid down their weapons after an operation lasted about 24 hours.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
