Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan calls for international intervention to stop ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh

 13:39,

YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, ARMENPRESS. Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan has called on the international community to stop the ongoing policy of ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“In Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan conducts a classic policy of ethnic cleansing,” Marukyan said in a post on X. “According to our information, Baku is planning a one-way opening of the Lachin Corridor in order to push the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh out of the territory without the possibility of return. This is a classic policy of ethnic cleansing: at first they shoot, kill, capture people incessantly, starve them for a long time, and then open the road for exit only so that people forced by these inhumane conditions leave Nagorno Karabakh without the possibility of returning. This must be stopped by international intervention. End the blockade of Lachin Corridor,” Marukyan added, addressing President of the United States Joe Biden, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, French President Emmanuel Macron, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, President of the European Council Charles Michel and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

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
