Unsubstantiated claims

References 1 and 2 are used to support the following statement:

   The Armenian forces burned some 20 houses and massacred eleven Azerbaijani civilians

However, those references make no mention of 20 homes, massacres of 11 civilians or massacres at all.

Note, references 1 and 2 link to the same Russian media article: https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/266481

Which states, in relation to Baganis Ayrum (Google translate):

    A few hours later, units of the Armenian National Army shelled the Azerbaijani villages
    of Yuhara-Askipara, Baganis-Ayrum, Ashaghy-Askipara and Gushchu, wedged into the territory 
    of Armenia. According to eyewitnesses, the shelling involved not only automatic weapons, 
    but also grenade launchers, mortars, hail guns and even surface-to-surface missiles. The 
    first hours of the soldiers successfully repelled the attack. Four helicopters then delivered
    additional militia units from Yerevan, as a result of which they managed to capture 
    the villages of Yuhara-Askipara and Baganis-Ayrum. The village of Baganis Ayrum was attacked
    on 26 March. On 20 August, additional military units, tanks, anti-aircraft guns and 
    helicopter gunships were deployed to the site of the fighting.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.244.128.134 (talk) 05:41, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Addictedtohistory: Please stop edit warring. Writing significantly alleged, but unconfirmed things are common practice in Wikipedia, when the sources are attributed. Read MOS:CLAIM and MOS:ALLEGED. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 16:54, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Addictedtohistory:I would ask you the same. You know well that Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict topics are sensitive, and if such one-sided allegations should be framed based on national sources, that would set a bad precedence. --Addictedtohistory (talk) 23:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
The fact that it's sensitive is exactly why we've used "According to Azerbaijani sources". Sources, which mostly are accounts from the survivors of the massacre. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 09:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
