YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS. Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Minister Sergey Ghazaryan has thanked the countries that called out Azerbaijan during the August 16 UN Security Council meeting for blockading Lachin Corridor, but at the same time expressed concern about the positions of some other countries.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the representatives of those countries that have given clear wordings to Azerbaijan’s policy and the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor,” Ghazaryan said at a press conference on Friday.
“At the same time, we are concerned about the attempts of a number of countries to equalize the Lachin Corridor with some other roads and transport connections, which is inadmissible and doesn’t match the parameters of the Lachin Corridor defined under the 9 November 2020 document. I have to note that convening this emergency meeting of the UNSC is just the beginning, and this process will continue. In terms of capabilities, indeed, the UNSC is the body that has both the jurisdiction and powers to prevent the kind of genocidal policy we see from Azerbaijan,” Ghazaryan said.
The international community must take clear steps to suppress the Azerbaijani side, which has deliberately chosen the method of starvation to commit genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh, Ghazaryan warned citing the report by former ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo.
On August 15, Nagorno-Karabakh that a 40-year-old man has died of starvation.
