Azerbaijanis to hold peaceful protest in front of UN headquarters

Azerbaijanis living in the USA will hold a peaceful protest in New York on August 16.

The action will be held in Ralph Bunch Park in front of the UN headquarters at 14:30 New York time, according to Report.

The action, organized by Azerbaijani youth, is held with the aim of demonstrating unity and bringing the truth about Azerbaijan to the American public.

To recap, a meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) at Armenia's appeal to discuss the situation in Karabakh will be held at 15:00 (Eastern Time) in New York, the US, on August 16.

"The meeting on Armenia's request will be held at 15:00 on August 16," Caliber.Az reported, citing the US Permanent Mission to the UN.

The US is chairing the UNSC in August and is forming a work programme.

According to Armenian media, Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ani Badalyan said on a social network that Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan will leave for New York for the UNSC meeting on Karabakh.

Despite its first failure in December 2022, Armenia once again attempts to instrumentalise the UN Security Council for its political, military and informational manipulation campaign. 

Armenia’s appeal to the Security Council on groundless allegations of “worsening humanitarian situation” and “continued blockade” in the region yet again comes at a time when Armenia itself deliberately and intentionally obstructs all the efforts made through international partners to find a balanced, law-based and reasonable solution on the ground.
