The Armenian Genocide Institute appealed to the Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General on the blockade of the Lachin corridor

The Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide appealed to the Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General on the Prevention of Genocide Alice Vairim Nderit about the situation in Karabakh. The authors of the statement asked the UN to activate the mechanism for the early prevention of genocide and provided evidence of ethnic discrimination and Armenophobia by the leadership of Azerbaijan. The text presents a report on international crimes committed in Nagorno-Karabakh: it analyzes in detail the massive and serious violations by Azerbaijan and its representatives of human rights and international humanitarian law for ethnic reasons.

In turn, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev also made a statement. “My message to the Armenians in Armenia: we want peace with your state. Another call is to clearly understand the current geopolitical situation and the alignment of forces. We don't want another war. As for the Armenians in Karabakh, they should not follow their so-called leaders. Karabakh Armenians must understand that they are part of the Azerbaijani society with security guarantees and rights... We offer them a normal life. And they know that I wouldn’t say it just like that,” Aliyev said in an interview with Euronews.
