Today, on August 28, at the illegal checkpoint in the Lachin
\ncorridor, residents of Nagorno-Karabakh Alen Sargsyan, Vahe Hovsepyan and Levon
\nGrigoryan were abducted by Azerbaijan’s law enforcement agencies. The
\ntransportation was agreed in advance and was carried out accompanied by the
\nRussian peacekeeping forces, which, in accordance with point 6 of the
\nTrilateral Statement of November 9, 2020, were obliged to monitor the
\nuninterrupted connection between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh through the
\nLachin corridor. These people were going to Armenia to continue their
\nstudies\/education. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia made a statement
\non this.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Azerbaijan’s step, which follows the abduction of
\n68-year-old Vagif Khachatryan on July 29, who was being transported to Armenia
\nfor immediate medical assistance, accompanied by the International Committee of
\nthe Red Cross, is a gross violation of the Trilateral Statement of November 9,
\n2020, legally binding Orders of the UN International Court of Justice and open
\ncontempt for the unequivocal and targeted calls of the international community,
\nincluding voiced by members of the UN Security Council.
<\/p><\/p>\n
These incidents that took place under various false pretexts
\ncause reasonable concerns that Azerbaijan is openly planning to subject the
\nentire population of Nagorno-Karabakh to collective punishment, who during the
\n90s of the previous century and in 2020 faced the large-scale aggression
\nunleashed by Azerbaijan and had to defend their right to peaceful life in their
\nhomeland,” reads the statement.
<\/p><\/p>\n
It is also noted that instead of supporting the steps to
\nestablish peace and stability in the region, Azerbaijan has put all its efforts
\ninto failing them.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
“Prevention of mass atrocities with the use of all available
\ntools is the direct obligation of all actors who can have influence on the
\nsituation and, in general, of the civilized world,” reads the statement.
