Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh: “the whole world let it happen”, says Hovhannès Guevorkian, representative in France

Was Nagorno-Karabakh abandoned by the Armenian government? “From the war of 2020, the Azerbaijani aggression and our crushing defeat, Armenia is so weakened that it cannot guarantee the security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. That’s why she tries to protect her own borders“estimates Hovhannès Guevorkian, representative of Nagorno-Karabakh in France, on the set of 19/20 info.

The international community singled out

Hovhannès Guevorkian says he does not understand “the laissez-faire situation of the international community“denouncing “a form of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh.“ To support his point, he explains that in 2020, “Azerbaijan was able to get its hands on entire villages. Today (…) no Armenian lives in these controlled cities.“ The Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh have, for nine months, been deprived of medicine, food, electricity and heating. According to him, “40% of deaths are linked to malnutrition” for nine months, and children have not been able to go to school in winter and summer. “There International Court of Justice issued a legally binding order. The international community had the obligation to enforce this court decision, nothing has been done in this direction“he laments.
