Baku/31.08.23/Turan: It is necessary to pursue the idea of sending an international fact-finding mission to Karabakh, as Azerbaijan pursues a policy of genocide and deportation of Armenians, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a meeting of the Armenian government on Thursday.
According to Pashinyan, Azerbaijan is blocking the delivery of humanitarian supplies to Karabakh, which means that "Azerbaijan, in the presence of the peacekeeping troops of the Russian Federation, continues to subject the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh to genocide through starvation. The main goal of this policy is the liberation of the territory of Nagorno–Karabakh from the Armenians," he said. -0-
