Azerbaijani authorities` attitude to Artsakh part of their deliberate  policy 

ArmInfo.The Azerbaijani authorities' attitude to Artsakh is part of their deliberate policy, stated Armenia's former human rights defender Arman Tatoyan.  

"On March 8, they damaged the gas main on purpose and have since been  putting obstacles to repair works.  Over 100,000 civilians, children,  old people, kindergartens and schools have been deprived of hot water  and heating, which has caused a humanitarian disaster and mass human  rights violations," he said. 

"They are shelling villages, people and their homes, schools. They  are using small- and large-caliber weapons. They have amassed armored  vehicles, including tanks, near villages, making a show.  

"They are threatening the civilians in the Armenian language, trying  to force people into leaving their homeland," Tatoyan said.  These  actions are part of the anti-Armenian policy. 

"And what else can be called genocide and ethnic cleaning? I am  sending my reports to international organizations," he said.
