Last week, Armenians worldwide experienced one of the biggest tragedies of their lives after Azerbaijan occupied Artsakh.
Delay may cost lives for Artsakh, which has already suffered incalculable human losses in recent days.
Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with the delegation led by Samantha Power, head of the USAID. Yuri Kim, the US acting assistant secretary of state, was also in the delegation.
Samantha Power, head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, handed a letter from U.S. President Joe Biden to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Olivier Decottignies, the French ambassador to Armenia, has denied allegations that France is ready to accept and provide asylum to Armenians of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, the ambassador wrote on his X page.
Russia firmly stands in favor of strengthening a common cultural and educational space with Armenia, despite the attempts of individual Armenian representatives to slow down the progress of mutually beneficial projects in the humanitarian sphere.
In Artsakh, bodies of about 100 victims killed by Azerbaijani military are in communities cut off from Stepanakert (Martuni, Martakert, etc.). There are cases when several peaceful civilian victims from one family are killed.
A former top official in Nagorno-Karabakh’s ethnic Armenian administration said on Wednesday that close to 100 people had been killed and hundreds more injured in the breakaway region after Azerbaijan started what he called a “big war”.
120,000 civilians including 30,000 children in Nagorno Karabakh are under military attack.
Why is Aliyev so upset at the prospect of Artsakh elections? There are two reasons. Certainly, free elections in any region Azerbaijan claims are embarrassing. Freedom House ranks Azerbaijan as “not free” and labels it a “consolidated authoritarian regime.”
