Former Ghana midfielder Michael Essien has joined other stars in showing solidarity with Azerbaijani soldiers and civilians who were killed as a result of the Armenian aggression around the Aghdam village, Tovuz region.

Essien, who plies his trade in Azerbaijan with Sabail FK, posted a picture of the Azerbaijani flag expressing his solidarity with the tiny European nation following the Armenia attack to invade internationally recognized Azerbaijan territory-Tovuz which began from 12th of July.

Within this period, Azerbaijan has lost 11 soldiers including four high-rank military officers.

It is reported that Armenian troops ignored a legally authorized ceasefire and war rules by attacking Azerbaijan lands and putting the lives of civilians in danger.

Notably, Aziz Azizov, 76, a resident of Aghdam village, Tovuz region, was killed by Armenians. He died as a result of a shell fired at his house when he left his bedroom.

Meanwhile, there was also a solidarity march by Azerbaijanis in the city of Baku.
