Azerbaijan has appeared to signal its intention to continue military operations launched a day earlier in Nagorno-Karabakh despite appeals for a halt to the hostilities that have killed dozens so far in the mostly ethnic-Armenian breakaway region from the United Nations, Western powers, and Russia.

Member of the Sweden-Armenian Friendship Group of the Swedish Riksdag and members of the Swedish delegation to PACE have called on Azerbaijan to stop the aggression and call on international partners, members of the UN Security Council, which have primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, to undertake every action, including a UN Security Council resolution.

Since December ’22, starvation has been the silent weapon in committing genocide against 120,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Luis Moreno Ocampo said in a statement.

“Today a new genocidal method was added: bombing. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is taking advantage of the distraction created by the war in Ukraine to use genocide to force his victims to accept the end of Nagorno-Karabakh’s autonomy,” Mr. Ocampo said.

“The international community has so far tolerated Aliyev’s genocidal actions. It is the time to wake up. European countries like France can help President Biden and President Putin work together to stop the 2023 Armenian genocide,” he added.

“President Biden committed at the UN General Assembly to promote cooperation to end the pain of war. The Russian peacekeepers are the only military forces already deployed that can protect the Armenians, and thus help Biden deliver on his promise,” Luis Moreno Ocampo noed.

“If President Biden and President Putin agree to cooperate in this arena, the genocide can stop in one day. Genocide against Armenians should not be the collateral damage of the Ukrainian war,” he concluded.

In Yerevan, protests have erupted outside the government building, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Simultaneously, protests outside the Russian embassy have led to clashes with the police, resulting in several injuries.
