Armenia abuses the human rights mechanisms of the UN and leads false propaganda.
This was stated by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Ayhan Hajizade, commenting on the statement of the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Vaan Unanyan that Azerbaijan allegedly ignored the mandatar of the UN Human Rights Council.
“This statement of the Armenian side is another example of hypocrisy of the country, which for decades pursued an aggressive policy, trampled the fundamental rights of almost a million Azerbaijanis, committed numerous war crimes and mass reprisals against military and civilians. Unfortunately, for these purposes, now for these purposes now Armenia abuses the human rights mechanisms of the UN, including the Office of the Supreme Commissioner for Human Rights, contractual bodies and mandatar, conducts false propaganda, ”Gadzizade said.
According to him, the Armenian side in a distorted form uses the next request of the UN mandatarii to Azerbaijan.
“Thus, Yerevan wants to cover the war crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijani and Azerbaijanis, and distract the attention of the international community,” he said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Azerbaijan has always seriously treated its international obligations, and in this context is true to its obligations arising from international conventions and international humanitarian law.
“Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan is investigating some allegations of violation of the requirements of international humanitarian law during military operations and responds to relevant requests within the framework of its international obligations,” Hajizade emphasized.
