#RighttoReturn, #Artsakh, #NagornoKarabakh, #NK

We stress that no genuine peace b/w 🇦🇲&🇦🇿 can be achieved w/o justice for the Nagorno-Karabakh people. Any agreement that disregards rights, erases history, sacrifices future is not a peace agreement, but an act of appeasement that rewards aggression & source of future conflict.

H.E. Mr. Xavier Bettel, Chair of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Luxembourg on the rights of Artsakh/NK people. #Artsakh #NagornoKarabakh #Right2Return

The Parliament of Uruguay has adopted a statement calling on Azerbaijan to immediately release Armenian hostages. During a session of the House of Representatives, held in connection with the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Armenian MP José Luis Saghian introduced the initiative, which received cross-party support. Representatives of all political factions delivered remarks, proudly emphasizing that Uruguay was the first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. Deputies José Luis Saghian, Ana Olivera, and Pedro Jisdonian also addressed the ethnic cleansing of the people of Artsakh and the ongoing detention of Armenian hostages in Azerbaijan. They recalled that the Parliament of Uruguay had previously adopted a unanimous resolution urging Azerbaijan to release all Armenian detainees without delay.

EU Energy Commissioner praises Azerbaijan's partnership with the EU and condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but says nothing about AZ's ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh, its sham trials of Armenian hostages, or the hundreds of political prisoners it is jailing. EU values.

The Swiss Council of States adopted Motion No. 24.4259 "Peace Forum for Nagorno-Karabakh: Enabling Return of Armenians." With 29 of its 46 members voting in favor, the Council endorsed the initiative urging 🇨🇭 authorities to establish a forum for dialogue b/w rep-s of NK & AZE.

Nous remercions les communautés françaises pour l'aide à Artsakh pendant le génocide. Merci à leurs dirigeants pour avoir visité l'entrée du corridor de Lachin bloqué. L'Azerbaïdjan bloque aussi leur aide. #MercilaFrance

Azerbaijan is escalating the situation on the contact line with Artsakh through both ceasefire violations and false accusations of violations from our side. International preventive measures are necessary.

Had a call with @MorenoOcampo1 on his report on the Artsakh blockade by Azerbaijan. He concluded that it's an ongoing genocide against our people & the international community is obliged to take urgent & effective measures to prevent its further course. luismorenoocampo.com/lmo_en/report-…

My urgent appeal to the international community to suspend/prevent the ongoing genocide against the people of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan. Our clear expectations from each actor are defined in this appeal. Voiceover interpretation provided: youtube.com/watch?v=uWa4cS…
