Statement on attacks by anti-Azerbaijani forces before COP29
30 September 2024, 10:55

As COP29 approaches, the notorious anti-Azerbaijani forces have stepped up their attacks on Azerbaijan under the pretext of “human rights.” If Freedom House, Human Rights Watch and other organizations closely linked to the Armenian lobby tried to hide their pro-Armenian motives before, they are now doing so openly.

These attacks are carried out by employees of these organizations of Armenian origin. At the same time, these organizations support all attacks by other Armenian activists with racist thinking. The latest example of this is Freedom House’s endorsement of a slanderous article published in Newsweek by Armenian nationalist Sheila Pailan.

We strongly condemn these attacks and call on the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), where Pailan works, to take the necessary measures against her.
