Former captain of the Armenian national team, Inter midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, wrote on his Facebook page.
"120,000 civilians, including 30,000 children, are under military attack in Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan has resumed war against Nagorno-Karabakh, shelling civilians and civilian infrastructure after 9 months of deliberate blockade, starvation, and denial of humanitarian aid.
As experts say, this is genocide. I call on my fans, the sports world, and media partners to respond and help spread the voice of restoring peace. Children are NOT targets, and 2 children have already been killed and 13 injured."
