South Australian Legislative Council discusses Azerbaijan`s ethnic  cleansing in Artsakh

ArmInfo.  The South Australian Legislative Council is debating a resolution commemorating the second anniversary of the ethnic cleansing in Artsakh. The resolution calls for action in support of Armenians, the Armenian  National Committee of Australia reported.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan, under the pretext of an  "anti-terrorist operation," committed another act of aggression  against Artsakh. As a result of this aggression, hundreds of Artsakh  residents were wounded, and more than 200 were reported killed,  including civilians. On September 20, Artsakh fell.  Azerbaijan began  the forcible subjugation of the NKR. Furthermore, late on the evening  of September 20, it was reported that Azerbaijan had deliberately  fired on two vehicles of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, killing  six people, including the deputy commander of the RMK. On September  22, the process of disbanding the Artsakh Defense Army began. During  search operations from September 21 to 24, the NKR Ministry of  Internal Affairs discovered the bodies of 105 Artsakh residents,  including brutally murdered children and elderly people. Today,  Artsakh is completely de-Armenianized, and its entire indigenous  population of over 100,000 people was forced to flee to Armenia under  threat of physical violence.

Since the enemy aggression that began in the fall of 2020, which  culminated in the complete ethnic cleansing of Artsakh in September  2023, over 150,000 Artsakh residents have become homeless.
