YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. Member of the Regional council of France’s Île-de-France, Patrick Karam, has said that he will file a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for his actions against Nagorno-Karabakh.

Karam is in Armenia as part of a French delegation that escorted a humanitarian convoy for Nagorno-Karabakh from Yerevan to the entrance of Lachin Corridor.

Speaking at a press conference after the convoy got blocked by Azerbaijan, Karam said the French diplomacy ought to go beyond its comfort zone and act.

“I have requested my lawyer, who is accredited at the International Criminal Court, to file a complaint against President of Azerbaijan Aliyev. The goal is to target President Aliyev personally, he is the despot and we must fight against him personally,” Karam said.

“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
