Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan writes.

“Mercenaries and members of terrorist groups are taking part in the armed attacks on the Armenian population from the territory of Azerbaijan.

According to the most sources, they are thousands of mercenaries who moved to Azerbaijan, including those related to ISIL, and according to records, they were sent by Turkey from Libya and northern Syria.

This is clearly evidenced by the evidence gathered by the independent investigation of the ombudsman of Armenia. This is mostly objective evidence, that is, photos and videos. And this is happening in the Council of Europe.

I once again strongly draw the attention of the international community to this extremely dangerous, criminal event. If this is not done urgently, the humanitarian catastrophe that has already occurred for the civilian population is dangerous for the whole region. It is a threat to security, peace and the entire human rights system. This is enshrined in UN Human Rights Council Resolution 42/9 of 26 September 2019 as a fundamental requirement.

The collected data will be sent to international partners tomorrow with all the necessary parameters.

The Human Rights Defender of Armenia continues to work 24 hours a day. Close cooperation with the Artsakh Human Rights Defender is ensured.”
