(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 30. One of the main
slogans of opposition demonstrations in Armenia in April 2022 was
"Armenia without Turks" , Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan
Elnur Mammadov said at a presentation of a report on hate crimes
and incitement to hatred against Azerbaijanis, Trend reports.
He noted that evidence and facts related to these incidents were
collected and presented to the International Court of Justice (ICJ)
as supplementary complaints.
"On January 23, this year, the Azerbaijani side issued a
statement and presented its primary lawsuit to the International
Court, based on thousands of pages of evidence, concerning
Armenia's nearly 30-year illegal military occupation of
Azerbaijan's internationally recognized sovereign territories. This
occupation included the deportation of ethnic Azerbaijanis from
their historical territories, genocide, and other crimes against
humanity," the official pointed out.
"Taking into account the nature of the consideration of
inter-state complaints in international courts, this lawsuit will
be reviewed in the coming years," Mammadov went on to clarify.
"These murders against the Azerbaijani people are founded in ethnic
hatred and the radical nationalist ideological line of
"Tsekhakronism," which has been actively disseminated in Armenia
for decades. This is clearly addressed in our inter-state
litigation."
"Armenia's ideology is in complete contradiction to the approach
of the Azerbaijani government, which promotes equal rights for
ethnic Armenians, coexistence of the two peoples, and consistently
calls for peace," the official said.
Baku hosts a presentation of a report on hate crimes and
incitement to hatred against Azerbaijanis.
The ceremony is also attended by chairman of the board of the
Social Research Center (SRC) Zahid Oruj, Azerbaijani Commissioner
for Human Rights (Ombudsman) Sabina Aliyeva, Deputy Prosecutor
General Elmar Jamalov, head of the Office of the Ministry of
Science and Education Matin Karimli, representatives of
governmental and non-governmental organizations, deputies,
scientists, and media representatives.
The report is jointly organized by the SRC and the Human Rights
Commissioner of Azerbaijan.
