In
order to prevent the spread of new panic causing by the Azerbaijani
authorities, I call on our compatriots in Artsakh to remove their telephone numbers,
addresses and other personal data from social network pages. I urge you not to
answer any suspicious calls received on social networks.
The
Azerbaijani authorities have launched new organized acts to intimidate and
cause panic against the civilian population of Artsakh.
This
conclusion is based on the recent statements of the Human Rights Ombudsman of
Artsakh, the Artsakh law enforcement bodies, as well as the studies and
alarming calls of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia.
In
particular, they call people living in Artsakh from Azerbaijani telephone
numbers in an organized way and offer to buy their apartments and shops. They
also take personal data from private social media pages. Moreover, some pages
have become active on Facebook social network, aiming to put psychological
pressure on the people living in Artsakh.
The
Human Rights Defender of Armenia draws the attention of the international
community to this new dangerous policy of the Azerbaijani authorities.
It is
obvious to the Human Rights Defender of Armenia that it is part of the policy
of ethnic cleansing against Armenian people living in Artsakh. It is a
manifestation of the genocidal policy of the Azerbaijani authorities towards
the population of Artsakh.
This
information will be sent to international bodies together with the statement of
the Human Rights Ombudsman of the Artsakh, Mr. Gegham G. Stepanyan.
The
Human Rights Defender of Armenia is in daily contact with their counterpart in Artsakh,
and a detailed study of all the data and alarming calls is carried out.
