It is very important for us that this movement grows, because the humanitarian disaster in Artsakh is deepening, and our care and efforts must be redoubled.  Artak Beglaryan, adviser to the Minister of State of Artsakh, said this this evening during a protest action near the UN Armenian office.

He mentioned that it’s already the eighth day that Azerbaijan continues its terrorist and genocidal actions against the 120,000 population of Artsakh, and the Azerbaijanis are increasingly trying to toughen up their actions.

 “I do not rule out that in the coming days the Azerbaijanis will try to put forward additional preconditions or aggravate the situation with additional actions, but at the same time, our pressure should be greater, our protests should be stronger and the pressure of the international community should also be greater, so that  Azerbaijan should understand that it will pay a high price for this situation,” Beglaryan said, adding that various actors of the international community have addressed the situation in different ways, mostly made targeted statements and clearly formulated their admonition that the road should be opened.

 “However, until the road is opened, we must understand that this pressure is not enough, therefore all the actors should increase the pressure,” Beglaryan said.

The protest action was also attended by the former MP of Armenia Arman Tatoyan and MP of Artsap Gegham Stepanyan.

Stepanyan said that he met with the employees of the UN Armenia office.  He presented the demands of the participants of the protest to the employees, noting that an opportunity should be created for the people of Artsakh a day earlier, and this should be done through mother Armenia.

According to Stepanyan, the actions carried out by Azerbaijan are genocidal.
