Armenia’s Permanent Representative to the U.N., Karen Nazaryan, raised
the issue of the Azerbaijani occupation of Artzvashen, Shahoumyan
and Getashen during his speech yesterday at the Security Council.
U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki moon and over 50 reps of U.N. member
states were present at the discussion regarding the protection of
civilian populations in conflict zones.
Ambassador Nazaryan also underscored the responsibility of Azerbaijan
of engaging in violations directed at civilians in the Karabakh
conflict and trampling the rights of hundreds of thousands of Armenian
refugees.
Nazaryan said that as a result of the conflict entire Armenian
communities had been destroyed, including Artzvashen and the northern
Artsakh Republic communities of Shahoumyan, Getashen and 18 other
villages which remain under Azerbaijani occupation.
