In Yerevan, residents call on UN to stand up for residents of Nagorno-Karabakh

In Yerevan, participants of a protest action held in front of the UN office called on the international community to pay attention to the threat to the security of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on March 26, the Russian MoD accused Azeri militaries of violating the tripartite agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh. The MoD stated that on March 24 and 25, Azerbaijani militaries entered the responsibility zone of Russian peacemakers and shelled the units of the Karabakh Army from Turkish drones. On March 27, the Russian MoD reported that after the talks, Azerbaijan withdrew its military units from the territory near the Karabakh village of Furukh. However, Azerbaijan later refuted this information.

The rally in Yerevan was organized on the initiative of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan, forcibly displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh, and civil society of Armenia, Seda Grigoryan, one of the organizers of the rally, told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.

In their hands, the activists were holding posters calling to stop the Azerbaijan’s actions against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. In front of the UN office in Yerevan, the participants of the protest action read out a letter addressed to the UN. In their letter, the protestors recalled the pogroms in Sumgayit, Kirovograd, Baku, the village of Maraga, and the war in Karabakh.

The participants of the protest action handed over the letter to the representative of the UN office. Then they went to the Embassies of France, Russia, the USA, and the EU office and handed over similar letters there.
