Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention condemns Azerbaijani president’s genocidal rhetoric

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is gravely concerned about the genocidal rhetoric that Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev has been using in his recent speeches.

“We condemn Pres. Ilham Aliyev and the Azerbaijani gov't's use of inherently genocidal rhetoric during Victory Day speeches. Euphemisms attempt to disguise genocidal rhetoric and intent. We call on the int'l community to condemn this rhetoric and protect Armenians”, the Lemkin Institute said on Twitter.
