On September 27, 2020, the country of Azerbaijan commenced military strikes to terrorize, harm and kill the Armenians, who have been peacefully living in their historic homeland of Artsakh for more than 2,000 years. Their first bombs fell on the homes of non-combatants including women and children. The first fatality was a 9-year-old girl. Their attacks continue today.

Genocide watch issued an official statement in October 2020 in which they proclaimed: "Azerbaijan denies displaced Armenians the right to return to Azerbaijan and forbids a person of Armenian heritage from entering Azerbaijan’s territory. If Azerbaijan retakes control of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), it could forcibly deport all Armenians in Artsakh to Armenia. Forced displacement is a crime against humanity.

The Azerbaijani government under Ilham Aliyev denies its past and current violence against Armenians. Aliyev is also a denier of the 1915 Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire. The Azerbaijani government promotes hate speech and encourages violence against Armenians.

[...]

Genocide Watch considers Azerbaijan to be at Stage 9: Extermination and Stage 10: Denial."

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD call on the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches, of the ALL governments, to do everything in their power to disarm Azerbaijan, by enforcing the terms of the 1992 OSCE Arms Embargo, which prohibits the sale and transfer of weapons or military aid to Azerbaijan that can be used against Armenian populated Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), punishing those who violate the Embargo, including Turkey, who has provided F-16 jets and drones.
