YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan targets any international organization or country that issues an objective assessment to the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh and the Azerbaijani actions, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned on July 6. He said these actions are part of Azerbaijan’s policy of ethnic cleansing against Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh.

“In his regard, Azerbaijan has been carrying out a large-scale smear campaign against France for many months, because targeted assessments and warnings are raised in both official and public platforms there regarding the illegal actions taken by Azerbaijan against the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh. The goal of this smear campaign is to prevent possible targeted assessments regarding the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh by other countries. For its part, Armenia, expressing gratitude to France, must take all measures so that more and more countries and international organizations issue targeted assessments regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh,” Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting.

Armenia must react to the entire situation through continuous diplomatic work, he added.

“As difficult as it gets morally, politically or emotionally, we must never lose self-control,” Pashinyan said.
