[Presenter] The Karabakh Liberation Organization will stage a peace
march to the Azerbaijani town of Susa [Armenian-occupied Shushi], the
head of the organization, Akif Nagi, has said.
[Correspondent over video of news conference] The Karabakh Liberation
Organization took a decision to stage a march back last year. It is
planned to start the march from Baku on 8 May this year, on the day
Susa was occupied. It will take the participants 15 days to march to
the front line and then to Susa. Karabakh veterans, refugees,
displaced persons, members of the intelligentsia and others will take
part in the march. Human rights activists, representatives of the
embassies of UN Security Council member countries, journalists and
representatives of foreign companies will be invited to take part in
the march as observers.
The main objective of the march is to persuade the UN to recognize
Armenia as an aggressor and impose sanctions on it. Nagi said that if
international organizations really wanted to ensure peace in the
region, then Armenia should be recognized as an aggressor.
