Azerbaijan has ‘unleashed large-scale aggression’ – Armenia

READ HERE: Baku has declared a counter-terrorism operation over Yerevan’s alleged military presence in Nagorno-Karabakh

The Armenian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday accused Azerbaijan of unleashing “another large-scale aggression against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh,” after Baku announced local “counter-terrorism measures” in the disputed region.

The ministry’s statement noted that the escalation in 2020 over the region likewise started in September. Armenia condemned its rival for both the most recent developments and the “mass crimes” it claims Azerbaijan committed during the hostilities three years ago.

Azerbaijan pursued “ethnic cleansing” of Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh, the ministry alleged. It claimed that Baku felt “impunity,” given that it has openly acknowledged its actions.
