Artsakh advocates are arriving at the May 4 European Summit in Yerevan with unexpected momentum — after a European Parliament resolution calling on Azerbaijan to respect Armenian heritage sparked a fierce reaction from Baku.
Expressing their 'deep concern' for their 'Armenian Christian brothers' currently in captivity in Azerbaijan, the authors stated that 'their faith, and their dignity as human persons, are being crushed.'
Here is a roundup of world news from the past week that you might have missed.
In September, the Islamic nation of Azerbaijan invaded its neighbor Armenia.
Despite ongoing peace talks, the two nations have continued to exchange periodic fire and to engage in minor clashes at their border.
The announcement comes amid widespread fears of an invasion of Armenia by Azerbaijan and Turkey and less than a month after the Azeri military launched a short but intense strike that seized control of the majority ethnic Armenian territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Other key Armenian leaders who have been arrested by the Azeri military include Ruben Vardanyan, Bako Sahakyan, and Arkadi Ghukasyan, all former presidents of Artsakh.
Since the Azeri takeover, widespread fears of genocide and religious and cultural persecution have led nearly all of the Nagorno-Karabakh population to leave the region.
U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Thursday afternoon to address the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
During the attack close to 100 Armenians were killed, including civilians, and several hundred were wounded, according to a statement from former Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan to Reuters.
