Paris Mayor: Azerbaijan is guilty of detaining officials and destroying Armenian heritage in Artsakh

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, revealed details of her meeting with the former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo.

“The tragedy continues in Armenia. Azerbaijan is guilty of arbitrarily detaining former officials of Artsakh and destroying Armenian heritage on this territory.

I was able to discuss this yesterday with Luis Moreno Ocampo, the former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and the author of the report on the genocidal process that had been implemented by Azerbaijan during the blockade of the Lachin corridor.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, 100,000 refugees, and political prisoners detained by Azerbaijan. On December 10, I will present the honorary citizenship of Paris to the representatives of Artsakh Armenians on the occasion of International Human Rights Day.

Paris is also calling for the immediate release of all Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan,” she said in a post on X.
