On April 24, President of the Artsakh Union, Artak Beglaryan, delivered a keynote address at a public event held at Columbia University in New York, organized in commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
In his remarks, Beglaryan presented contemporary trends in the perpetration of genocide and mechanisms of international justice, using the genocide of the people of Artsakh as a case study. Renowned human rights advocate Jehan Henry also participated in the event, highlighting the genocide committed against the people of Sudan․
Beglaryan briefly outlined the historical background and context of the conflict, underscoring that the Aliyev regime carried out the genocide through a consistent and modernized methodology, aiming to silently annihilate and uproot the indigenous population of Artsakh. He presented several examples illustrating the systematic nature and intent behind Azerbaijan’s genocidal policy, noting that it is an ideological continuation of the Armenian Genocide.
