Armenia's Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe Arman  Khachatryan presented the catastrophic consequences of Azerbaijan's  military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh, which have led to the forced  relocation of about 50,000 residents at the moment. The diplomat  added that Baku's goal is to complete the ethnic cleansing of the  Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Khachatryan stressed that Azerbaijan is obliged to comply with the  interim measures of the ECHR applied on September 22 against Baku.

The Ambassador noted that the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh  has the right to fully exercise all the rights and freedoms enshrined  in the European Convention on Human Rights. Their rights and security  must be properly taken into account and guaranteed at the  international level.

Khachatryan said that the Committee of Ministers should seriously  study the implementation of the obligations undertaken by Azerbaijan  and consider the possibility of suspending its membership in the  structure.
