Armenian ombudsman releases new report on Azerbaijani shootings near Yeraskh

Panorama, Armenia

Armenia’s Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Arman Tatoyan has released a new ad hoc report on shootings of the Azerbaijani forces in the immediate vicinity of the Yeraskh community of Armenia’s Ararat Province from 14-15 July and on human rights violations, the ombudsman said on Facebook.

The report, which is in English, reflects results of the ombudsman’s fact-finding activities in Yeraskh, presents evidence on dangers to the community residents’ rights, as well as facts of violations of their rights.

The report shows the links between these shootings and Azerbaijani shootings in other bordering parts, near settlements.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
