The Freedom House has strongly condemned the Azerbaijani government’s violent attacks in Nagorno-Karabakh, heightening the risk of ethnic cleansing against the region’s Armenian population.
“Any attempt to forcibly change the region’s demographics is illegal and unacceptable,” the organization said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“We urge the international community to protect the civilian population in Nagorno-Karabakh, prevent crimes against humanity in the region, and hold the Azerbaijani government accountable for the wellbeing of Armenians in the region,” the Freedom House said.
