in the meantime,Armenian government preaches peace...

[Rahim Shaliyev @rahimsaliyev]

The Avasor TV addressed the residents of Baku with the question: “Do you want to live together with the Armenians?”

Look at the answers came out from Baku residents. It is obvious that the Azerbaijani government has prepared Azeris for fight with Armenians, not for live together. They still remaining same policy.

Exclusive: Nagorno-Karabakh exodus was genocide, says former ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo

The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno Ocampo believes that countries are deliberately ignoring the risk of genocide to avoid the obligation to prevent it.

In an interview with @armenpress Brussels correspondent, Ocampo said that the forced displacement of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh after the Azerbaijani attack constitutes genocide.

Mr. Ocampo, on August 7, you provided and then published your professional opinion to the President of the Republic of Artsakh, considering the blockade and complete siege of Artsakh as genocide. What process could have been started at that time to prevent the coming disaster?

Well, the report was important because we made a point in the public opinion. However, states are doing something fascinating, they are deliberately ignoring the risk of genocide to avoid the obligation to prevent genocide, that’s what we found. We found basically that states are trying to avoid the word genocide. Even because when the US Congress took the report and started activities, then US State Department, without mentioning genocide said they will protect Nagorno Karabakh internationally. But it was late too late. They said that and three days later Aliyev attacked.

How do you interpret what happened after September 19 in Nagorno Karabakh? It seems that when many say genocide, they only imagine a massacre. But in a few days, more than a hundred thousand people forcibly left their homeland, leaving behind everything.

That is a genocide as well, under Genocide Convention article 2B. There's a new report by Juan Mendes saying that the fact that 100,000 people left is showing the mental harm. The fact that they left everything. So that is another form genocide to be, not only killing. The killing was not massive, but there is a mental harm of all the community leaving their land.

What legal mechanisms are there for the rights of the people of Artsakh that can work and how realistic do you consider the restoration of the rights of these people according to international norms?

I think it's important now that France is pushing for that. That's an important state that is pushing the agenda and it's something we should fight for. We should fight for gaining respect of the right of the people, because the people, even if they are not there, they are still the owners of the land and the place, so their rights must be respected. And I think a different priority is to recover, to release the hostages. There are 53 people in jail in Azerbaijan. The problem is international law is not something like if someone steals your bike, you can go to the police and the courts. No, there's nothing like that. We have the International Court of Justice presumably for states, and there is the International Criminal Court for prosecuting individuals. The legal process for releasing these people is not clear, but we should develop the process politically. That is why this meeting is important.

How do you assess the behavior of the international community, what could it have done that it did not do, and that inaction led to this result?

Well, that is a problem, a failure by design. Because the world has no global institutions. Basically, the only global independent institution is the International Criminal Court, that's it. That's not enough. Imagine a country with just one court, no government, no political system. So, Armenia should be involved in resolving the problem. And that's why meetings like this, discussions with political leaders about what they can do and articulating that with the European Union, with the ICC, that is what we need to do. Armenia is showing that it's not just Armenia at risk, but civilization is at risk, and that's why Armenians are not alone. But Armenia is crucial. Armenia has a very important community around the world, so it’s an incredible strength you have there, and we can use it.

There are some conflicts that get more attention than others, as if all children are not children, all women are not women. What is your explanation for this duality?

Well, the media’s span of attention is only 6 seconds. That’s normal. The Darfur genocide was top in the media, then came the Arab Spring, then Libya, then Syria, then Russia, Yezidis, then Rohingya. There's always a new conflict covering the failure of the previous conflict. And that's why this year we are on the topic of having five genocides in only 2023. Now is the time to fix it. The fact that the Armenian community and the Jewish community are so widespread could really help to transform this situation. I understand it is a very difficult moment for the Armenian community, that even attacks on Armenia are possible, but you must understand that you never win if you stop fighting. So, you have to keep on fighting, and you are not alone.

The brutal gangs of Azerbaijani military criminals in action, the act of military crime in Nagorno-Karabakh has been captured on camera. Everything is visible here. The faces of the criminals and their actions. A heinous crime against Armenia and Artsakh, against Armenians.

[Liana Margaryan @lio___m]

So, the very peace-loving Azeris, who present peace and integration programs to the world community, demolished and vandalized the Stepanakert🇦🇲 stadium!!!
Can you explain to me, maybe this is part of the integration program after the ethnic cleansing!!!

if you want to see the celebration of modern day #EthnicCleansing , here, enjoy. #AliyevWarCriminal minions are getting ready for parade. Does it supposed to scare us, #Armenians? really? we know who we are dealing with. It is the world that needs to wake up

[Tatevik Hayrapetyan @TatevikHayrape1]

In the occupied Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan is getting ready to celebrate the victory of dictatorship, ethnic cleansing, and hate propaganda. This is how Aliyev builds peace with Armenians—by expelling them and cherishing his genocidal aggressive actions.

[roocaya- #RoadOfLife #StopArtsakhBlockade @roocaya]

so, the #Armenian people fled leaving close to nobody to be beheaded or tortured in #Artsakh. These "warriors" have nothing better than torture toys.

An Azerbaijani military serviceman with schizophrenia in Artsakh destroys a child's bed and ruins toys. This is yet another episode of crimes committed by the Azerbaijani army against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, against Armenians.

Note to intl decision-makers:
What the Nagorno-Karabakh people are facing isn't merely a humanitarian crisis, but a mass violation of human rights. Humanitarian issues are the consequences.
So, the intl response should primarily address the causes rather than the consequences.

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

120,000 people just lost their homes because of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has not yet suffered a single consequence for it. A fascist dictatorship just committed ethnic cleansing for free. Welcome to 2023.

[Kornelij @Kornelij]

Today, after the last Armenians were forced to leave their homeland in #Karabakh / #Artsakh, Russian peacekeepers brought humanitarian aid, 15 tons of flour. For whom? For #Azerbaijan troops looting Armenian's homes?

[Sossi Tatikyan @STatikyan]

As of 8.00pm tonight, the Armenian government has officially registered 28,120 people arriving from Nagorno-Karabakh. Only in 2 days.

[Lindsey Snell @LindseySnell]

State Deparment spox today said Aliyev confirmed there'd be "no further hostilities," though this seems to refer to Nagorno-Karabakh and not necessarily Armenia.

TR/AZ media are playing up the threats Erdogan made against Armenia regarding the Zengezur corridor yesterday.

Let’s remember that in 2019, Erdogan was making similar, regular threats about invading NE Syria. The US "cooperated" with Turkey, its NATO ally, and got the SDF—the US' partners in Syria— to remove its heavy weapons and fortifications from areas near the Turkish border.

Then, the US stood by as Turkey launched a massive incursion, ultimately occupying Ras al-Ain and Tel Abyad.

Turkey tends to make good on its threats. The US tends not to make good on its promises and assurances.

[roocaya- #RoadOfLife #StopArtsakhBlockade @roocaya]

@freedomahaa do you stand with Armenians against the dictator Aliyev? Btw, it is through him your Europe gets the Russian gas.
But hey... who cares about the ongoing #ethnicleansing of Armenians, right?
