The European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy
\n(EAFJD) issued a statement, strongly condemning the recent statement by the
\nEuropean Union concerning the presidential elections in Artsakh. As noted in
\nthe statement, multiple reports and statements from independent experts and
\ninternational human rights organizations have warned about Azerbaijan’s
\ncontinued policy of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh\/Artsakh and its
\ngenocidal essence.
<\/p><\/p>\n
The EAFJD noted that the international community entails responsibility
\nto protect populations facing genocide or the threat of genocide.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, the EU’s statement on the recent elections
\nin Nagorno-Karabakh\/Artsakh encourages Azerbaijan in its destructive stance.
\nThe EU’s failure to act in accordance with these principles is deeply
\nconcerning. By implying that the indigenous Armenian population of
\nNagorno-Karabakh\/Artsakh should integrate into Azerbaijani society without
\naddressing the ongoing hostility, atrocities, and ethnic cleansing by
\nAzerbaijan, the EU indirectly encourages the brutal oppression of Armenians. As
\nEU citizens, we call upon our leadership to reconsider EU’s stance in this
\nregard. Using a principle of international law as a justification to push an
\nindigenous population to the mercy of a dictatorial oppressor such as
\nAzerbaijan is reckless at best and inherently bears responsibility,” reads the
\nstatement. <\/p>\n
