Baku prepares genocide of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenian  PM

ArmInfo.Violations of statements and agreements adopted in trilateral and other formats by Azerbaijan have a chronic nature. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan stated this on November 10 at a government meeting, the  press service of the RA PM reports.  

Pashinyan recalled that In December 2020, Azerbaijan illegally  occupied the settlements of Khtsaberd and Hin Tagher of  Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas, contrary to the trilateral  declaration of November 9, 2020, according to which a complete  ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone comes into effect,  all military operations are stopped and the parties remain in their  positions. 

Azerbaijan violates the ceasefire regime almost on a daily basis,  including on the line of contact established by the trilateral  declaration of November 9, 2020, simultaneously declaring that  Nagorno Karabakh does not exist.  This claim itself is a gross  violation of the trilateral declaration of November 9, 2020. In  addition, in that well-known document signed by Azerbaijan, the name  "Nagorno Karabakh" is mentioned 4 times>, Nikol Pashinyan pointed  out.  In addition, as the prime minister noted, Azerbaijan has not  taken steps so far to start a dialogue visible for the international  community with the representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians,  about which it assumed obligation at a number of international  platforms. At the same time, Azerbaijan is trying to show itself as  constructive and declares that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh are  "their citizens and their rights and security are guaranteed".  

< To what extent this claim is true can be practically proven by  checking what conditions Azerbaijan has created and what steps it has  taken for the safe return of thousands of residents of Hadrut and  other Armenian-populated areas of Nagorno-Karabakh, who were  displaced as a result of the 44-day war in 2020.  Azerbaijan has not  taken any steps in this direction, which is a gross violation of  point 7 of the trilateral declaration of November 9, 2020. In  violation of this same point, Azerbaijan is preventing the entry of  representatives of the United Nations, particularly the Office of the  High Commissioner for Refugees, into Nagorno-Karabakh,> he noted.  

According to the prime minister, these and other actions and  statements of Azerbaijan make it obvious that Ilham Aliyev is not  only threatening, but also preparing the genocide of the Armenians of  Nagorno-Karabakh.
