Today’s infiltration of Azerbaijani military forces into the village of
Pharukh of Askeran region of the Republic of Artsakh is the logical
continuation of criminal policy of Azerbaijan.
In breach of all well-known norms of international law this behavior
continues weeks and months – through the various acts of intimidation,
terrorization and creation of unbearable conditions for normal life of people
of Artsakh. This penetration is yet another proof of the fact that the
weeks-long targeting of the population of Khramort village didn’t bring the
desired result – people didn’t leave their homeland, so Azerbaijan applied to
its well-proven behavior which is the provocation.
It is a shameful fact that the ethnic cleansing policy of Artsakh is the
state priority of Azerbaijan which undermines the fulfillment of the
obligations of international law and infringes the signatures of that country
put under its legally binding commitments.
The “uncomfortable” silence of international community about voicing out
the human rights violations is not being remedied by real actions to address
the situation. Meanwhile the people of Artsakh have same rights as humans in
any other part of the world.
I strongly condemn criminal behavior of Azerbaijan and call to
international human rights organizations and actors to ACT to STOP this
genocidal policy towards people of Artsakh.
