Les Arméniens ne peuvent pas se permettre un 2ème génocide , dit le représentant de l’Arménie aux Nations Unies

EREVAN (Armradio) — Armenia never refused to sit for peaceful negotiations, but it doesn’t seem to be the intention of Azerbaijan to follow the calls for peace, Mher Margaryan, Armenia’s permanent representative to the UN, said in an interview with Arab News.

At the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, Guterres made an appeal for a global cease-fire to help stem the spread of the virus.

“Azerbaijan not only refused to unconditionally support the secretary-general’s appeal, but also resorted to a large-scale military intervention,” added Margaryan.

“The (Azerbaijani) offensive comes amid a global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, when the international community is focused on fighting the disease,” he said.

“Azerbaijan has decided to take advantage of these global vulnerabilities caused by the pandemic. So, this is not just an attack against Armenians but (also) an attack against the basic norms of humanity, an attack against what the UN stands for,” the Ambassador added.

Margaryan said Armenia was very concerned by the alleged involvement of foreign fighters. “These foreign mercenaries are actually being recruited and transported with the support and encouragement of Turkey. We have to name the names: (The Turks) have been a very destructive element in this conflict. They need to be encouraged to stop.”
