Envoy: Azerbaijanis subjected to Armenian ethnic cleansing waiting for EU’s response For more than three decades

As many as 300,000 Azerbaijanis subjected to ethnic cleansing in Armenia have been waiting three decades for the EU’s response to this crime against humanity.

Vagif Sadigov, Azerbaijan's ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg, head of the representation to the European Union (EU), made the statement social network X, Caliber.Az reports.

“See below the opinion of almost 300,000 Azerbaijanis ethnically cleansed from Armenia at the beginning of the 90s, with hundreds massacred during the forced expulsion. Having been recognised by the UN as a refugee community in accordance with international humanitarian law, they demand the EU to press its ally Armenia to provide their return to their homes in Armenia in security and dignity after 30 years of waiting for the delivery of justice, to restore their violated human rights, to safeguard their cultural and religious heritage. After three decades, 300,000 human beings still expect the EU to break its deafening silence around this crime against humanity,” the ambassador said on X.
