U.S. Ambassador to Armenia condemns acts of violence against  detainees

U.S. Ambassador to Armenia condemns acts of violence against  detainees

ArmInfo.Today Ambassador Tracy met with a group of lawyers, the Representative of the Republic of Armenia before the European Court of Human Rights and the Human  Rights Defender of Armenia to discuss developments related to the  exchange of detainees and the repatriation of remains following the  conflict over Nagorno- Karabakh.

As reported by the press service of the US Embassy in Armenia, the  Ambassador stated that the dignified treatment and safe return of  detainees was among the highest priorities for the United States. She  condemned acts of violence against detainees and stressed that those  responsible must be held accountable. The Ambassador also highlighted  the U.S. commitment to engaging in pursuit of a lasting and  sustainable political solution to the conflict under the auspices of  the OSCE Minks Group Co-Chairs.

To note, the Ombudsmen of Armenia and Artsakh today published a new  joint report on "Organized hate speech and animosity towards ethnic  Armenians in Azerbaijan as root causes of ethnically- based torture  and inhuman treatment by Azerbaijani Armed Forces".  The report shows  Azerbaijani policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide policy through  terroristic methods. The report proves that Azerbaijani atrocities,  torture and inhuman treatment of this war are results of years of  animosity propaganda and organized policy of hatred  towards  Armenians (Armenophobia).  Hatred towards Armenians is in a closed  chain: it is generated by the Azerbaijani authorities, including the  high-ranking officials; largely promoted by cultural, sports and  other public figures and earn public praise, very often with clear  targets towards children.  Azerbaijani soldiers are well aware that  torturing Armenians will not only make them unpunished, but they will  be praised by the authorities and the public.

It is reported that the report will be sent to international bodies.   You can read the report by clicking on the following link:  https://bit.ly/39MlsnP . -
