ArmInfo.Below is an X post by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention:

"There are stories coming out of Artsakh of the beheading of children  and the separation of older boys and men from women and children. We  hope these are not true, but we have every reason to believe that  they are. Azerbaijan has routinely treated Armenians with this level  of barbarism, especially in the wars of 2016, 2020 and 2022. It is a  country is run by people who do not hide their visceral hatred of  Armenians. 

"Such life force atrocities are also common during genocides. They  are exactly what happened when Serb forces overran Srebrenica in 1995  (another genocide facilitated by Western dithering), for example.   Children beheaded, men and older boys separated to be massacred. Mass  rape. Perpetrators drunk on power and hate.

"Well, world: Here is the country, Azerbaijan, that you have  supported and whitewashed despite multiple warnings from genocide  experts and prevention organizations. We get it: Azerbaijan is a  country rich in oil, an enemy of Iran, an access route to Central  Asia-but was all of that really worth selling your soul and betraying  an entire people? Of course not. And yet here we are.

"Let us never forget the greed, cowardice, and (in some cases) malice  of the world leaders who have pretended that Azerbaijan was something  other than a terrorist, genocidal state since 2020.

"Let us never forget this complicity in genocide."
