We are here to show our support. Mayor of Paris

First of all, we call to respect international law. Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo announced at the joint press conference held online with the President of Artsakh.

He noted that the population of Artsakh is under siege, regardless of their will, and all this is being done in violation of international law and the 2020 ceasefire announcement. "What is happening today in Artsakh is like genocide. What is happening today was described by the former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court as genocide, and 4 of the principles and points that qualify it as genocide are recognized by the international community and experts."

The mayor noted that the adviser to the UN Secretary General, who is responsible for the prevention of genocide, uses the same word to describe what is happening today: genocide by an authoritarian regime, ethnic cleansing against a people who are simply demanding their rights, those rights. , which any person, any nation has. "It is this situation that we have come here to testify and condemn, and we also appeal to the French president to use the position that France occupies in the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution to respect the rights of the Nagorno-Karabakh people." :
