Yesterday, on September 21, the President of Azerbaijan again spoke about the attack (use of force) against Armenia, particularly the entire Syunik, with open threats of war and blackmail.
Having illegally invaded the sovereign territory of RA for 2 years, he keeps falsifying even invasions of 2022 September 13-15.
We clarify for the international community that this policy of the Azerbaijani authorities has an established mechanism:
1. to appear “innocent” and “white” to the world, they announce that they want peace,
2. then Azerbaijani authorities continue with blatantly false statements that Armenia or Artsakh are firing at their positions and by this “legitimize” their future attacks,
3. afterwards, Azerbaijani officials and “independent” experts, media and telegram channels start to spread these falsehoods in an organized manner, creating public discourse and “legitimizing” future provocations and attacks by Azerbaijan.
4. Thus by creating artificial “grounds”, they destroy Armenian communities with targeted attacks, destroy people’s houses, steal large and small cattle or kill them, depriving people of their livelihood.
5. They kill and torture military servicemen and civilians, they film and spread these crimes to gain praise among Azerbaijani users and cause mental suffering to Armenian users.
6. the Azerbaijani government encourages these crimes including by absolute impunity,
7. and most importantly, the Azerbaijani government continues the policy of Armeniaphobia in all sectors of public life, from education to culture.
In fact, Azerbaijan misleads the international community with lies, covering its real genocidal intentions with a veil of peace and advancing their real intentions in every possible way.
Therefore, urgent international interferences are needed, including monitoring and control mechanisms.
As long as there are no concrete guarantees and no responsibility of Azerbaijani authorities, they will continue these policies and attacks, thereby continuously undermining security, democracy and human rights in Armenia.
