The presence of
Azerbaijani armed forces (flags and signs) in the communities of the Syunik
region of the Republic of Armenia, or on the roads connecting the communities,
and especially any movement on those roads by these elements should cease and
be ruled out forthwith.
They have placed themselves there at the expense of gross
violations of the rights of the civilian population of Armenia and Artsakh, by
military and ethnic cleansing, mass destruction of peaceful communities,
continuous institutional hatred of Armenians, torture, inhumane treatment,
illegaly keeping captives, threats of a new war, and gross violations of
international rules in border “determination” through mechanical approaches.
To be clear, by the mere presence of the Azerbaijani military, the
rights of the border residents of Armenia, first and foremost, are seriously
violated and severely endangered, including but not limited to their property
rights. Military shootings. All these undermine peaceful life and tranquility
of Armenian civilians.
Therefore, no matter the circumstances, their presence or any
movement by is illegal, devoid of any legal basis, and contradictory to the
foundations of human rights under international law.
The activities and operations of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia
at all platforms are carried out according to these fundamental concepts.
