YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan is illegally populating the Armenian settlements of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) under its occupation since the 2020 war, the Artsakh Foreign Minister Sergey Ghazaryan warned Thursday.

“The 9 November statement contains a clause whereby the parties assumed an obligation to create all conditions under the supervision of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to ensure the dignified return of our countrymen. Nonetheless, in this situation, when Azerbaijan is making statements on the use of force or the threat of force every day, this is ruled out. We are saying that the parties must fulfill their obligations, first of all the Azerbaijani side, which is violating the terms of the statement,” Ghazaryan said.
