ArmInfo. The issue of Azerbaijan's genocidal steps was raised at a profession discussion in The Hague, according to an official report.
Armenia's Ambassador to the Netherlands Tigran Balayan, at the invitation of the Embassy of Luxemburg, participated in the 21st annual session of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which opened on December 5 to last until December 10.
Ambassador Tigran Balayan noted that the current developments resemble the situations in the early 20th century, when the international press and foreign diplomats working in the Ottoman Empire were writing about the Armenian massacres, but the Ottoman authorities continued the mass killings as they were sure they would never be punished.
At the highest level, the Azerbaijani authorities are committing daily gross violations of the injunctions by the International Court, stirring up hatred for Armenians, threatening with further violence, destructing the Armenian heritage. "And they are sure of being unpunished," he said.
Applying double standards by the international actors leads to disastrous consequences, which interfere with the lives of millions of people round the world, Mr Balayan said.
