The Artsakh Public Council demands concrete measures to protect the rights of the people of Artsakh.
Today marks the sixth anniversary of the tripartite agreement of November 9, 2020. On this day hostilities of the 44-day war ceased. The Public Council of the Republic of Artsakh issued a notice about it.
"Today we bow our heads in memory of our compatriots who gave their lives for Israel, and express our support for their families. After the war, many of the residents of Israel returned home in the hope that they would be able to live safely in their homeland.
This was followed by a statement from the quadrilateral meeting in Prague, setting out Armenia's bilateral commitments.
Azerbaijan, the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the military offensive of Azerbaijan in September 2023 and the forced displacement of the Armenian population of Artsakh.
Six years later, there is still no clear answer: why were the siege and attack not prevented, and what steps are being taken today to overcome the consequences of forced displacement?
The Public Council of the Republic of Artsakh prepared appeals on these issues addressed to the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Armenia.
We demand that the right of the people of Artsakh to a voluntary, safe and dignified return to their homeland, the release of Armenian and other prisoners held in Azerbaijan, and the protection of the Armenian cultural and spiritual heritage of Artsakh become priority issues in the negotiations.
We are waiting for written answers and concrete steps. Decisions regarding the future of the residents of Artsakh must be made with the direct participation of their representatives," the announcement stated.
