War in Karabas: Azerbaijan accused the UN Security Council of bias

Armenia and Azerbaijan collided with the UN after the "successful counter -terrorist operation" Baku in Karabas. Western countries, led by France, urged Azerbaijan to provide security guarantees. France called for the urgent convocation of the UN Security Council after the Azerbaijani forces began a "counter -terrorist operation" in Karabas, where traditionally the majority of the population constitute ethnic Armenians.

Speaking at a meeting in the UN Security Council on Thursday, September 21, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan urged the world community to say no longer that the "two parties" participate in the conflict. This was reported on Friday, September 22, by France24. "There are no parties in the conflict, there are only criminals and victims. There is no conflict, there is a real danger of war crimes," Mirzoyan said.

The head of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that "literally the whole territory of Karabakh has undergone intense, non -selective shelling. " Mirzoyan stressed that, along with the use of missiles and heavy artillery, the Azerbaijani side used prohibited cassette ammunition. "The intensity and cruelty of the offensive is clear that the intention is to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Armenian population," he said.

The "government" of the unrecognized Karabakh said that at least 200 people were killed as a result of a 24-hour offensive and another 400 were injured. The counter -terrorist operation of Azerbaijan ended with the capitulation of the Karabakh "authorities". Azerbaijan Foreign Minister Jachun Bayramov accused Armenia of misinformation and trying to "use the UN Security Council in his campaign to mislead the international community.

" Bayramov also accused the UN Council of "bias" and stated that Armenia has long been "igniting separatism" in Karabas, in particular through military support of the rebels. The Western states called on Azerbaijan to protect the population. "If Azerbaijan really wants to reach a peaceful decision through negotiations, he must immediately provide tangible guarantees," said France Minister Katrin Kolonna.

She called on Baku "honestly participating in the discussion of" Issues of Protection of the Population and "Eliminate the use of force. " The French Foreign Minister also called for the full opening of the Lachynsky Corridor, the only way of connecting between Armenia and Karabakh, who are delivered to humanitarian aid. "They must finally recognize an international humanitarian presence. This is necessary because winter is approaching.

Without these guarantees it will be impossible to find a solution," the column said. France, where the Great Armenian Diaspora lives, and the United States, who headed diplomatic efforts from the dialogue between the two sides, condemned Azerbaijan's military operation. German Foreign Minister Annalen Berb also criticized Azerbaijan, declaring the Security Council that Baku "decided to create facts on the ground through military force.
