Azerbaijan has closed the only road into Nagorno-Karabakh, a home to ethnic Armenians, restricting the movement of food and medicine for roughly 120,000 people. “We should not accept a new Armenian genocide in 2023,” says @MorenoOcampo1, first prosecutor of the @IntlCrimCourt.

Replying to
The 153 states parties of the Genocide Convention are committed to prevent and punish genocide. The priority now is to end the genocide already committed under II (c) by removing the blockade on the Lachin Corridor, and to prevent new genocides through acts of killing.
Replying to
Without immediate dramatic change, the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh would be destroyed in a few weeks. #stopArmenianGenocide2023
Replying to
The crime is carefully defined by Article II of the Genocide Convention, including five different underlying acts. 'Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction' is under (c).
