It breaks my heart when I learn the stories of trauma, loss and grave human rights violations for thousands of Armenian families who have been forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh and they are fleeing en masse to Armenia. The situation in which the inhabitants of Nagorno-Karabakh live today is reminiscent of the darkest hours of history.

We often return to these dark pages of indiscriminate killings, ethnic cleansing and concentration camps with remorse, regretting that no one did enough to stop them. We cannot bring back the victims of these past atrocities, but there is still time to prevent genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh. In the midst of this horror we need the immediate mobilization of emergency humanitarian assistance through the Lachin corridor, as well as the dispatch and deployment of international monitoring missions to put an end to these crimes against humanity. Now it is essential that international leaders speak out against ethnic cleansing and use all possible political tools to end hostilities in the region. Children have the right to live peacefully in their homeland”.
