The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has raised a
\nRed Flag Alert for Azerbaijan on account of the alarming possibility of an
\ninvasion of Armenia by that country in the coming days and weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Azerbaijan has long coveted Armenia’s southern Syunik
\nProvince, which has been discussed in the recent past as the site of an
\nAzerbaijani-controlled “Zangezur Corridor” to Nakhichevan.

Considering recent political developments in the
\nregion—including the Azerbaijani invasion of Artsakh on September 19, 2023 and
\nthe ensuing seizure of the territory—and well-established genocidal
\nArmenophobia endemic in Türkiye and Azerbaijan, an Azerbaijani invasion runs a
\ndangerously high risk of devolving into genocide.

<\/p><\/p>\n

We remind the world that genocide is not only expressed
\nthrough mass murder. As was the case during the recent seizure of
\nArtsakh\/Nagorno-Karabakh in September of 2023, genocide can also be expressed
\nthrough a pattern of massacre, atrocity, and forced displacement from
\nindigenous territory when the ideology behind these actions is aimed at
\ndestroying an identity in whole or in part,” reads the statement issued by the
\ninstitute.

<\/p><\/p>\n\n

As noted, although Azerbaijani officials have recently
\ndistanced themselves from the plan for a “Zangezur Corridor” through Syunik,
\nthere are several reasons for concern as Azerbaijan keeps calling Armenia’s
\nsouthernmost province Syunik “Western Azerbaijan”.
