UNSC resolution to protect people of Nagorno-Karabakh depends on Russia, US and France – senior diplomat

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS. Armenia’s Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan has said that the protection of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh first of all depends on Russia, US and France and all the other members of the UN Security Council who are due to hold an emergency meeting today.

Marukyan shared a video by the Russian Defense Ministry showing evacuated civilians in the peacekeeping mission's base.

“These people were forced to leave their homes and were evacuated by the Russian peacekeepers without any basic belongings. An urgent session is expected today at the UN Security Council. Will there be any resolution to protect these people, to restore their fundamental right to live in their homes or not? Depends first of all on Russia, the USA, France and all other members of the UN Security Council. Russian peacekeepers evacuated 5 thousand people from the different parts of Nagorno Karabakh during the Azerbaijani military aggression aiming to implement ethnic cleansing in that territory. The video is from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation,” Marukyan said on X.
