ArmInfo. We should make and will make Artsakh`s voice about the Azeri crimes heard in the entire world, Emil Babayan, Advisor to the NKR President, said at a meeting dedicated to Stepanakert blockade.
Chairman of the Armenian Standing Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs Artak Zakaryan, journalist, author of documentaries on Karabakh war Svetlana Kulchitskaya, Russian analyst Sergey Markedonov, Deputy Head of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan and others are participating in the event.
"It is very important, given the typical Azeri tactics of using violence and extermination of civilians. I think in the light of atrocities committed by the Azeri servicemen in April 2016, there is a clear necessity to consolidate efforts. By leaving the crimes unpunished, we make the adversary even more impertinent," he said.
Babayan also informed the participants of the details of the quite important work being conducted by the Armenian human rights activists at the European Court of Human Rights to investigate and punish the initiators of the crimes committed by the Azerbaijani armed forces in April 2016 against the civilians and the Defense Army of the NKR.
At the same time, Babayan stressed that the key task of the NKR Defense Army is to ensure the security of the NKR civilian population and to protect the residents against the violence and aggression of Azerbaijan.
