Ruben Rubinyan, the head of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, stated that the Azerbaijani delegates make aggressive, unacceptable statements.
According to him, the PACE presidency should not allow such a thing, “Everything is clear. Azerbaijan intended to carry out ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, which it did. But the level of cynicism of our Azerbaijani colleagues in this discussion is astounding. They assumed the role of defenders of their authoritarian, genocidal regime. They claim that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh are citizens of Azerbaijan and that Azerbaijan is a multinational paradise on Earth. Did you notice that none of them said a single word about the fate of 100,000 Armenians and their needs? None of them said a word of condolence about the people who were killed and separated from their families. But if we consider that what happened was the clear intention of the regime, everything becomes logical.
But this is not all. These people are so shameless that even after a few weeks of ethnic cleansing of an entire population, they come to this organization and call Armenia Western Azerbaijan”, said Ruben Rubinyan, responding to the speech of Azerbaijani delegate Kamal Jafarov.
According to him, you don’t need to be a genius to understand that Azerbaijan’s recent actions show that this country has become a threat to the international legal order. “And this regime should be punished by law. And we, as the delegation of Armenia, expect the support of each of you, as a representative of the international community, in this matter because this is not only an issue of Armenia, this is an issue of the international legal system. Dear presidents, please do not discourage anyone from using irredentist, aggressive terms here. It is unacceptable to call Armenia Western Azerbaijan; I think there is no need to explain why,” he said.
