Honorable Members of Parliament,
The aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) accompanied by deliberate
targeting of the civilian population and infrastructures with various types of weaponry is a gross violation of
the international humanitarian law.
The deploy e t of terrorist er e aries as ell as Turkey’s dire t i ol e e t i the o fli t ears the risk
of escalating the conflict into a full-scale regional war.
As a result, heavy casualties and injuries (including children) as well as infrastructure, public and private
property damages have been recorded causing humanitarian crises.
The current situation calls for immediate and active actions aimed at bringing the war to an end and
holding Azeri and Turkish governments accountable for their crimes.
As an ordinary citizen of the Republic of Armenia who believes in shared values I summon you to stand
with people of Armenia and Artsakh by
recognizing the inalienable right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination, that is by
recognizing its independence
enacting sanctions on Turkey to stop its involvement in the conflict
The world should not witness another genocide of the Armenian people.
Please don't let history repeat itself.
Best regards,
Lilit Tumanyan
