Former ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo stresses Armenian Diaspora's role in releasing Armenian captives

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. The former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, has emphasized the importance of unifying global Armenian community efforts in the process of securing the release of Armenian prisoners held in Baku.

He made this statement in response to a question about the potential role of the Armenian Diaspora in this effort.

Ocampo highlighted the success of the online campaign he launched months ago for the release of Armenian prisoners.

"I have been involved in various processes related to genocides around the world, and this is the first time I have witnessed such global cooperation, which is a fantastic achievement. Armenians are creating an unprecedented experience of active collaboration," Ocampo said, noting that these efforts are vital for protecting Armenia.

He also called on all Armenians to contribute to the release of the hostages.

According to him, Armenians are not alone in this matter, because many universities and academic communities have joined the initiative.

"The Armenian Diaspora can, at the very least, join this process," Ocampo said.
