Uncovering Azerbaijan’s Ethnic Cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh: The Urgent Need for International Attention

Another ethnic cleansing could take place and we are not paying attention to it. Writes one in an op-ed in The New York Times on Sept. 2, columnist Nicholas Kristof.

Azerbaijan takes advantage of Russia’s occupation of the conflict in Ukraine and uses it to commit “its own crimes against humanity”. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof expressed this opinion in the columns of the prestigious newspaper with global reach, referring to the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh following the blockade of the Lachin Corridor.

The article is titled as follows: “Another ethnic cleansing could take place and we don’t know. »

New York Times reporter writes ‘You probably haven’t heard of Azerbaijan’s brutality against the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, but it deserves investigation’, author recalling former prosecutor’s report General of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, that the “genocide” was committed in Nagorno-Karabakh and “is happening” to the Armenians.

“It is extremely important to call this genocide,” Ocampo told Nicholas Christophe, stressing that the United States and other world powers, including Britain, which remains rather silent on this subject, should increase the pressure on Azerbaijan.

The article published in the New York Times once again talks about the decision of the International Court of Justice, according to which Azerbaijan must lift the blockade, as well as about the difficult humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“In 2020, Azerbaijan fought a short war in which it took over most of the enclave, and now it wants to take back the rest and, in my opinion, expel most of the ethnic Armenian population writes the author of the article.

The article mentions that the United States and Russia, which have very favorable positions on many issues, agree that Azerbaijan should open the Lachin Corridor.
