Violation of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan by Armenia and
Armenian nationalists, occupation of lands, destruction and
appropriation of historical and cultural values, violation of
cultural rights of people contradicts fully to universally accepted
international legal norms.
These are expressed in the appeal of the Azerbaijan ombudsman,
Elmira Suleymanova to the international community, authoritative
international organizations and people of the world in connection
with the 13-th anniversary of occupation of historical Azerbaijani
town Shusha by the Armenian aggressors.
“Taking into account the above said”, the Appeal reads, “addressing
the world community and international structures and people of the
world I believe that the Armenian aggression and genocide will be put
an end, there will be support to peaceful settlement of the conflict,
returning of occupied lands and thousands of refugees And IDPs will
be back to their lands and their violated rights and freedom will be
restored.
“I hope, that international organizations will back the legal
position of Azerbaijan, justice will be restored and against Armenia,
which turned occupation, terror and genocide into its state policy,
sanctions will be applied”, the document reads. The Appeal is
addressed to the UNO Secretary General, the UNO Human Rights High
Comissariat, the Council of Europe, OSCE, international ombudsmen
