BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 17. During the UN Security Council meeting initiated by Armenia on August 16, 2023, once again accusations were made against Azerbaijan about the humanitarian situation resulting from Azerbaijan's actions against the Armenian inhabitants of Karabakh. This meeting once again showed that the real essence of Armenia's policy is territorial claims to Azerbaijan and meddling in Azerbaijan's internal affairs, according to the Western Azerbaijan Community, Trend reports.
The fact that Armenia, which expelled more than a million Azerbaijanis from their native lands, which it once captured militarily and kept under occupation for 30 years, is now trying to accuse Azerbaijan of some humanitarian issue is hypocrisy, the community said in a statement.
With regard to the war of 2020, Azerbaijan, immediately after the end of hostilities, provided an opportunity for Armenians displaced from Azerbaijan's Karabakh region to return to their homes in safety. The Azerbaijani side, which is currently working on their reintegration, ensures the supremacy of its Constitution and human rights while strengthening the foundations of sustainable peace in the region, the community noted.
"One of Armenia's main motives for pursuing a policy of mono-ethnicity and ethnic discrimination in preventing the reintegration of Armenians living in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region is that the possible successful coexistence of representatives of the two nations in our country will strengthen the prospects for the return of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia.
The Western Azerbaijan Community calls on the international community to condemn Armenia's policy of territorial expansion and mono-ethnic ideology, which pose a great threat to international peace and security, and to put pressure on this government to immediately withdraw the armed formations it has illegally deployed on the territory of Azerbaijan and to stop preventing the reintegration of Armenians living there. The Community also reiterates its call on the international community to support the safe and dignified return of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia to their homes.
At the same time, the Western Azerbaijan Community strongly condemns France's systematic hostile attitude towards Azerbaijan, which it displays on all platforms, as evidenced by the latest meeting of the UN Security Council. The Western Azerbaijan Community calls on official Paris to abandon its policy of Azerbaijanophobia and not abuse its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council," the community said in a statement.
