ArmInfo.Azerbaijan is pursuing the goal of subjecting the population of Nagorno-Karabakh to ethnic cleansing with the use of force, depriving them of the right to live and work in their homeland freely and with dignity. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated yesterday during a meeting with Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis, referring to the aggression committed by Baku against Nagorno-Karabakh.
The minister added that Baku has been pursuing the same goal since December 2022, when it illegally closed the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, and subsequently completely closed the Lachin corridor.
It was emphasized that in the current situation, statements alone are not enough; clear actions by international partners are needed to restrain Azerbaijan, prevent mass crimes in Nagorno-Karabakh as well as prevent the destabilization of the entire South Caucasus.
