Recognition of Artsakh independence by UN member states is the only way to restore historical justice — Artsakh National Assembly

The Artsakh National Assembly addressed a message to the UN and UN member states.

“The National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh, as a representative body legally elected by the people of Artsakh, with a Message unanimously adopted on July 27, 2023, appealed to the world community, the UN member states, calling for Remedial Secession to recognize Artsakh.

The member states of the UN Security Council and other international actors, despite their international obligations to protect the population from genocide (Responsibility to Protect), unfortunately showed absolute indifference to the warnings of the Message adopted by the Artsakh Parliament about the serious dangers threatening the population of Artsakh and could not or did not want to obstruct the criminal activities of Azerbaijan when the latter carried out military aggression against Artsakh in September 2023 and ethnic cleansing and occupied the entire territory of the Artsakh Republic as a result of genocidal actions.

Recognition of the independence of the Republic of Artsakh by the UN member states is the only way to restore historical justice, it will become a reliable guarantee of the protection of our people, and it will contribute to the dignified and safe return of 150 thousand Armenians to their historical homeland within the already recognized international borders. It will also contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for normal life in the historical land and will ensure long-term and stable peace in the South Caucasus region,” the message reads.
