Azerbaijan must be held to account for its crimes in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) in mid-September, Armenian opposition leader Seyran Ohanyan insists.

“The whole world should know that in a follow-up to Azerbaijan's criminal policy, the 10-month blockade of Artsakh by Baku which began in December 2022 was culminated in the illegal “anti-terrorist” operations, as a result of which genocide through forced exile was actually committed against the people of Artsakh,” Ohanyan, head of the opposition Hayastan parliamentary faction, told a press briefing.

The MP emphasized that the Artsakh issue has yet to be resolved through talks. "There is no alternative to negotiations," he said.

"Every Armenian realizes that the Artsakh issue has not been resolved. Only those with no sense of homeland can think that the time and resources spent on it were pointless, denying the fact that for more than a quarter of a century Artsakh was the guarantor of Armenia’s freedom and security," Ohanyan stressed.
