Mirzoyan calls for ensuring safety of Armenians of Artsakh

Mirzoyan calls for ensuring safety of Armenians of Artsakh

ArmInfo.On September 20, in New York within the framework of the 78th session of the UN  General Assembly,  Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan participated in the "Democracy delivers" forum moderated by the Administrator of the US Agency for International Development  (USAID) Samantha Power.

As the RA MFA reports, prior to the launch of the forum Minister  Mirzoyan had a conversation with Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of  State, emphasising the need of international intervention to stop  Azerbaijan's aggression against the people of Nagorno- Karabakh and  atrocity crimes.

During the forum Ararat Mirzoyan noted that despite several  democratic achievements in Armenia, the current situation in the  region makes him talk about the challenges and threats that the  Armenian democracy is facing.

®It is the second time I'm addressing this important event and it is  the second time I'm compelled to speak about the situation in our  region and yet another aggression of Azerbaijan. Last year, while we  were discussing the challenges and threats to our democratic paths,  the Republic of Armenia was under an aggression launched by  Azerbaijan against our sovereign territories. 

Unfortunately, the aggressive behaviour of Azerbaijan continued also  this year, and this time it is directed against the people of  Nagorno-Karabakh. 120.000 people, including women, children and  elderly are currently facing existential threat to their lives, as  Azerbaijan tries to ethnically cleanse and deprive the people of  Nagorno-Karabakh from their right to live in their homeland in  security, freedom and dignity¯.- Minister Mirzoyan noted.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia stressed that in light of  the gravity of the situation, the international community needs to  undertake urgent and effective measures to prevent the imminent  atrocity crime and ensure the rights and security of the people in  Nagorno-Karabakh.

Concluding his speech, Minister Mirzoyan emphasised: "If we really  want to ensure democracy delivers in the face of authoritarian  coercion, the democratic world along with praising its achievements  should take serious actions against the existing threats and  challenges, including by timely addressing the issue of human rights  and security of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, with the aim to  prevent the worst of the crimes - Genocide, and promote just and  lasting peace in the South Caucasus."
