Azerbaijani Ombudswoman calls on int'l community to take strict stand against Armenian crimes

Azerbaijani Ombudswoman Sabina Aliyeva called on the international community to take a strict stand against hate-motivated acts committed by Armenia, which are accompanied by impunity and have caused a negative experience in the region and at the international level, Azernews reports per Ombudsman's Office.

In the appeal, Aliyeva informed the international community that on April 25, 2023, another incident occurred in Armenia, confirming the support for hatred and terror policies at the state level.

"The solemn ceremony of the unveiling of a monument in the capital of Armenia with the participation of state officials in honor of the "heroes" of the terrorist operation "Nemesis", which means revenge, which was organized and carried out by Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century, was clear evidence of this. The immortalization of the names of the organizers and executors of that secret terrorist operation, which organized the heinous murder of Azerbaijani and Turkish diplomats and statesmen, has demonstrated once again that terrorism has become a state policy in Armenia," she emphasized.

Besides, she pointed out that Armenia continues to escalate tension in the region by taking measures contrary to reconciliation. She also drew attention to the fact that previously a monument was erected in memory of Garegin Njde, a supporter of Nazism in Armenia and the founder of the ideology of the superiority of the Armenian race and hatred of the Turkish ethnicity, which Azerbaijan strongly opposed.

The ombudswoman expressed regret that the serious consequences of state-level ethnic hatred propaganda, which has been carried out for many years in Armenia, have been made more apparent in recent days by the inhumane treatment of a captured Azerbaijani soldier and the public broadcasting of this situation on social media, provocation against the Azerbaijan State Flag at the opening ceremony of the European Weightlifting Championship, joint burning of Azerbaijani and Turkish flags at the rally held in Yerevan, and raising slogans by Armenian fans promoting the above-mentioned "Nemesis" terrorist operation during the match between Armenia and Turkiye football teams in Yerevan, etc.

"All these demonstrate that Armenia’s ruling circles are more interested in breaking peace than establishing it," the human rights commissioner noted.

Furthermore, Aliyeva expressed her deep concern that the international community does not take a firm stance on such cases, which clearly demonstrate a disregard for the rights of human beings to life and health, thereby encouraging Armenia, which has committed numerous acts of terrorism against Azerbaijan, to commit further provocations that violate international law.
