According to Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia is launching international mechanisms to prevent Azerbaijan from committing genocide against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh

YEREVAN, March 16. /TASS/. Azerbaijan is trying to provoke a military escalation along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Thursday.

"We can see Azerbaijan taking specific steps aimed at a military escalation on the line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh," he stated at a cabinet meeting.

According to the prime minister, Armenia is launching international mechanisms to prevent Azerbaijan from committing genocide against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. "I have ordered the Foreign Ministry to activate these mechanisms through the UN," Pashinyan added.

The Armenian prime minister also noted that Azerbaijan’s state propaganda was trying to use the media to launch a military aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh, "claiming that the Armenian army was present there, which is untrue".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
