ArmInfo.Armenians of the Ottoman Empire annihilated by the authorities of their own state amid the indifference of the international community.
This is stated in the statement of the France-Artsakh Friendship Circle on the occasion of the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, the Information and Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Artsakh Republic reports.
According to the source, the France-Artsakh Friendship Circle reaffirmed its unshakable support to the citizens of Artsakh and commitment to recognizing the democratic state they have built over 30 years.
The statement says that as a result of the war unleashed by Azerbaijan in September 2020, a significant part of Artsakh was occupied, and Azerbaijan, under the leadership of its ally Turkey, is pursuing an anti- Armenian racist policy at the highest level.
"The France-Artsakh Friendship Circle believes that after Azerbaijan's aggression against Artsakh and the crimes of the Baku regime, France, which is the co-chairing country of the OSCE Minsk Group, should immediately abandon its fruitless neutral policy and recognize the Republic of Artsakh on the basis of international law," the message says.
