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.
