YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention condemned the war of aggression that Azerbaijan is committing against Armenia.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement, saying:

“We condemn the war of aggression that Azerbaijan is committing against the Republic of Armenia & Armenian people. Despite agreements for a ceasefire, Azerbaijan’s general rhetoric by its government indicates a continuous intent to destroy Armenian identity & territory.⁣

The current bombing of Armenia’s borders constitute an international crime & must be condemned by the world. NATO, Russia, & Iran must each defend Armenian territory & pressure Azerbaijan & Turkey to end their genocidal assaults on the Armenian people.⁣

Military aid to these countries must stop, immediately. Turkey must cease their genocidal attacks on Armenia or be expelled from NATO.⁣

The world cannot stand by & allow Armenians to, once again, be destroyed. The world must act immediately to prevent genocide against Armenians by isolating & sanctioning Azerbaijan.⁣

The world must focus on the Southern Caucasus region as the Armenian people are suffering from rampant anti-Armenian sentiment & a continuous genocide.”

“The Lemkin Institute calls on @potus Sec. #AntonyBlinken, @berniesanders @antonioguterres @unitednations @amnesty @usembarmenia #USEmbassyAzerbaijan & others to act immediately & address #Azeri attacks against Armenians,” the institute tweeted.

“The Lemkin Institute also commends Representative Adam Schiff for acknowledging Azerbaijan’s attack on Armenia & for calling for the United States to cease aid to Azerbaijan.”
