"Armenians are qualified as separatists or terrorists, these steps can be justified by international law," "hate speech in Azerbaijan. Siranush Sahakyan, head of the International and Comparative Law, told discussion entitled "International and Comparative Law" on the discussion of the manifestations and goals of anti-Armenian rhetoric.
He reminded that NKR represented Azerbaijan as a territory, as it was left for the third occupation, and the delayed self-defense, at any moment, could use force to self-defense to restore its territorial integrity.
"As this problem has solved, it will help the international law, separatists and terrorists to justify possible military encroachments on Armenia.
Therefore, if Armenians are separatists, terrorists are terrorist, then the territory of Armenia can be justified, "said S. Sahakyan.
He also stated that Armenia is, in fact, partly use the broad legal and political opportunities that are offered in foreign relations.
"Perhaps the most positive steps have been taken, the presentation of many legal lawsuits, the destinies of some are risky at the moment. It is clear that the refusal of these complaints does not in the interests of Armenia, can be exclusively dictated by Azerbaijan or other forces to serve the Azerbaijani practice. But Armenia is not properly used by all legal platforms, "the specialist said.
He reminded that Armenia has ratified the International Criminal Court, Rome Statute. "It is interesting that we have recognized the Court of Court not all crimes, but against three crimes, which are crimes against humanity, a war crime, genocide. But the International Criminal Court also soughts aggression by its status. Armenia is a victim of Azerbaijani aggression, but additional changes must be ratified, signed, and Armenia does not ratify these additional protocols, which means that the issue of the aggressive war in its country does not reserve the international criminal court.
The question arises if Azerbaijan invaded Armenia's territory in 2021, and Armenia has always committed this threat, why does not increase the protection of its territories and Armenians to recognize additional documents for the crime of aggression. I think the reason is exclusively political. "
He noted that Armenia also sees passivity in launching the International Criminal Court.
"The state can send the situation to the International Criminal Court. We are aware of many other NGOs have documented a number of crimes, including violent displacement as a crime against humanity. By having these facts, the evidence, Armenia has not sent the situation to the International Criminal Court to date.
Armenia is even cautious when raising the issue of responsibility of the state, and those related to the restrictions on persons are no practice. Here we see intentional passivity.
I see a similar approach to sanctions. The EU has a human rights act, which aims to be high-ranking officials of human rights and war crimes political sanctions. These tools were intensively used in the Russian Federation, Belarus high-ranking officials.
In Artsakh, the crimes in Armenia are heavier, there are dozens of prisoners at the moment, many are tortured, and they have been subjected to arbitrary, and we have cases of intimidation and hatred.
The practice completely falls under the sanctioned practice, but no steps are taken in this regard, "S. Sahakian explained.
He stressed that Azerbaijan is active in the UN platform, where the diplomatic, political terms has an advantage, given that Turkish, Islamic countries provide a certain number of votes.
"In parallel with the theses of" Western Azerbaijan ", as a serious humanitarian issue, they are trying to present the issue of mines. In recent months, several initiatives have been launched in the UN Human Rights Council, the purpose of which is to blame Armenia for human rights violations. With this, the mirror image is created that not Armenia, Armenians are victims, but planning crimes and Azerbaijan in recent years, including aggressive practices, "Siranush Sahakyan said.
