European Parliament commemorates ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh 

European Parliament commemorates ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh 

ArmInfo. On the initiative of Nathalie Loiseau, the European Parliament commemorated one year  since ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan of Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh, the Armenian Embassy in Belgium reports. 

Addressing the Parliament, the MEP recalled that September 19 marks  the first anniversary of the ethnic cleansing perpetrated by  Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, noting that one year later none of  the more than 100,000 Armenians have the chance to return to their  homes. 

"Azerbaijan continues to hold the prisoners from the past conflict,  and they have been unable to return home. The spiritual and cultural  heritage of Nagorno-Karabakh is threatened, and numerous monuments  have been destroyed. No peace treaty has been signed with Armenia,  and in a few weeks Baku will host COP29 in a few weeks. All those who  are going to attend, have a duty to call for ensuring the return to  Nagorno-Karabakh and the release of captives," the MEP said.

Meanwhile, the Armenian authorities did not honor the memory of the  Armenians who died on September 19-20, 2023 as a result of  Azerbaijan's aggression against Artsakh at any level on September 19.  During the entire day, only the Armenian Foreign Ministry made a  statement on the events of a year ago, and with rather vague wording.  And this is against the background of the fact that foreign  politicians and diplomats clearly condemned what happened, noting the  importance of ensuring the right of the Armenians of Artsakh to  return to their original homeland.

Armenian Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan also distinguished herself  among Armenian officials yesterday. Thus, in a conversation with  journalists, she did not consider it appropriate to answer the  question of why none of the Armenian officials visited the Yerablur  military pantheon on September 19 to pay tribute to the memory of  those who laid down their lives in this unequal struggle for the  Motherland.  She only noted that everyone visits the pantheon when  they find it convenient for themselves. At the same time, when asked  whether she would like Artsakh to be Armenian today, Avanesyan rudely  stated that this was "an ugly question."
