Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement on the recent aggression by Azerbaijan.
“We condemn the war of aggression that Azerbaijan is committing against the Republic of Armenia & Armenian people. Despite agreements for a ceasefire, Azerbaijan’s general rhetoric by its government indicates a continuous intent to destroy Armenian identity & territory. The current bombing of Armenia’s borders constitute an international crime & must be condemned by the world. NATO, Russia, & Iran must each defend Armenian territory & pressure Azerbaijan & Turkey to end their genocidal assaults on the Armenian people.
Military aid to these countries must stop, immediately. Turkey must cease their genocidal attacks on Armenia or be expelled from NATO. The world cannot stand by & allow Armenians to, once again, be destroyed. The world must act immediately to prevent genocide against Armenians by isolating & sanctioning Azerbaijan. The world must focus on the Southern Caucasus region as the Armenian people are suffering from rampant anti-Armenian sentiment & a continuous genocide.
The Lemkin Institute calls on the President of the USA, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Senator Sanders, UN secretary General Antonio Guterres, UN, Amnesty International, US Embassy in Armenia, US Embassy in Baku, and others to act immediately and address Azeri attacks against Armenians.
The Lemkin Institute commends US Congressman Adam Schiff for acknowledging Azerbaijan’s attack on Armenia & for calling for the United States to cease aid to Azerbaijan”.
