"This tragic event has become a signal about what policy Azerbaijan  will take to weapons in the coming decades. The logical continuation  of such man-based actions has become conducted by Azerbaijan since  1988 at the state level the policy of ArmenianFobia, which was  accompanied by rubber, pogroms and ethnic cleansing.

The fact that genocidal policy Baku and Ankara did not receive due  assessment of the international community, and the criminals remained  unpunished, became the cause of new aggression against Artsakh, which  on September 27, 2020, Azerbaijan was unleashed with assistance of  Turkey with the involvement of international terrorists and as a  result captured the city of Shushi.
