Third rally of the Armenian community of Argentina for the international recognition of Artsakh

20.10.20

The Armenian community of Argentina organized a demonstration in front of the Turkish Ambassador in Argentina residence under heavy rain on the night of October 19 to ask for international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh, Diario Armenia reported.

“This war is unique for its violence, scale and potential for expansion in a world in crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” denounced Horacio Terzian, the speaker of the protest on behalf of IARA - Armenian Institutions of the Argentine Republic.

“After Syria, Libya, Greece, Cyprus, and the eastern Mediterranean, the self proclaimed 'Sultan' Recep Tayyip Erdogan sets fire to the Caucasus, initiates another focus of conflict, creates a vanguard of jihadist terrorism and activates his diplomacy to consolidate another area of ​​influence where he concentrates the power of decision between war and peace,” added Terzian.

“Turkey and Azerbaijan threaten world peace, and the Armenians in Artsakh today resist the neo-Ottoman expansion, as the Austrians did in Vienna in 1638 when they stopped the advance of Erdogan's ancestors towards Europe, saving the civilization from barbarism,; as the brave Kurdish fighters did in Kobane in 2015, stopping the offensive of the hordes of the Islamic State supported by the Turkish military; but above all like the united Armenians who in Baku in August-September 1918 resisted the advance of the Turkish-Azeri coalition of forces under the command of Nuri Pasha”, he recalled. "This is not a simple war: this is a new threat of genocide in the ongoing Pan-Turkism project."

"Today, as in 1988, Armenia, Artsakh and the diaspora are united by a new Sardarabad", Terzian finished, to culminate his speech calling for the "international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh."

Since Azerbaijan and Turkey began the war against Artsakh and Armenia, the Armenian community of Argentina organized various actions to make the conflict visible. Most notably, they held two protests outside the Embassies of Azerbaijan and Turkey on October 10 and October 3, and a number of car caravans throughout the country.

The Armenian Community of Argentina rallied again to the Embassies of Turkey and Azerbaijan

10.10.20

The Armenian community of Argentina rallied on October 10 to the Turkish and Azerbaijani Embassies in Buenos Aires, hours after the news of the humanitarian truce reached by Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The demonstration was organized by Armenian Institutions of the Argentine Republic (IARA), a space that coordinates all Armenian institutions of the community, Diario Armenia reported.

At the Embassy of Azerbaijan, the youth of the community read a joint statement in Spanish and Armenian: "Whereas the dictator Ilham Aliyev orders to bomb Stepanakert, Shushi and other cities, not caring about civilian deaths, Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan tells the world that 'the war is not against the people of Azerbaijan', making clear the differences between one and the other."

In front of the Turkish Embassy, ​​the community youth denounced that "Turkey is the same State that perpetrated the genocide against the Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks 105 years ago."

"The Armenians of Artsakh are neither the aggressors nor are they 'separatists', as they are misrepresented by some media. The people of Artsakh are defending themselves from the large-scale aggression suffered by one country - Azerbaijan - who wants to occupy their ancestral lands where they have inhabited for thousands of years, and who has the help of one of the most powerful army in NATO, the Turkish army."

La comunidad armenia de Argentina marchó nuevamente a las Embajadas de Turquía y Azerbaiyán

10.10.20

La comunidad armenia de Argentina marchó el 10 de octubre a las Embajadas de Turquía y Azerbaiyán, horas después de que se conoció la noticia de la tregua humanitaria alcanzada por Armenia y Azerbaiyán en el conflicto de Nagorno Karabaj (Artsaj).

La manifestación convocada por IARA - Instituciones Armenias de la República Argentina tuvo la participación de todas las organizaciones de la comunidad y reunió a una gran cantidad de medios de comunicación.

En la Embajada de Azerbaiyán, la juventud de la comunidad leyó un comunicado en conjunto en castellano y en armenio: "Hace 14 días nuestros hermanos y hermanas, de todas las edades, como un solo pecho, resisten los cruentos embates enemigos, y como un solo puño, golpean al invasor que pretende apoderarse de lo nuestro". "Mientras el dictador Ilham Aliyev ordena bombardear Stepanakert, Shushí y otras ciudades, sin importarle las muertes de civiles, el presidente de Artsaj, Arayik Harutyunyan, le dice al mundo que 'la guerra no es contra el pueblo de Azerbaiyán', dejando en claro las diferencias humanistas existentes entre uno y otro", agregaron. "Conocemos muy bien la esencia del enemigo, de aquel que no dudó en contratar mercenarios para luchar una guerra que no les pertenece, que quiere incitar al odio religioso, al enfrentamiento entre musulmanes y cristianos. No es una casualidad que hayan tomado como blanco a la iglesia milenaria de Ghazanchetsots en Shushí".

Frente a la Embajada turca, la juventud comunitaria denunció que "Turquía es el mismo Estado que perpetró el genocidio contra los armenios, asirios y griegos pónticos hace 105 años". "¿Dónde está y qué hace la comunidad internacional en su conjunto para frenar a este nuevo sanguinario sultán autoproclamado? ¿Cómo entender que, salvo honrosas excepciones, sus aliados militares en la OTAN aún no le exigieron cesar su participación en la agresión contra los armenios? ¿Cómo explicar la indiferencia de prácticamente todos, salvo los países de la región, al envío de mercenarios y terroristas, cuando el mundo entero habla de cerrar filas en la lucha contra el terrorismo internacional?", se preguntaron. "Los armenios de Artsaj no son ni los agresores ni son 'separatistas', como de manera tergiversada pretenden presentarlos algunos medios de comunicación y operadores. El pueblo de Artsaj se está defendiendo de la agresión a gran escala que sufre de parte de un país -Azerbaiyán- que quiere ocupar sus tierras ancestrales en la que habita desde hace miles de años, y que cuenta con la ayuda del segundo ejército más poderoso de la OTAN, el ejército turco. Los armenios de Artsaj sólo quieren que se respete su legítimo derecho a la autodeterminación y a vivir en paz", cerraron.

Argentine-Armenians Rally to Turkish and Azerbaijani Embassies in Buenos Aires

3.10.20

On the afternoon of Saturday, October 3, a rally was held to the Embassies of Azerbaijan and Turkey in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to demand an immediate halt to the attacks against Artsakh and Armenia.

Agustín Analian delivered a speech in which he denounced that Azerbaijan and Turkey "want their people to believe that by winning a war that no one wants to fight, they will perpetuate themselves in power." "They are wrong! History will judge them in the worst way."

"This protest is being made in all parts of the world against their violence. While young soldiers and volunteers resist the unjustified and cruel onslaught at the borders, those of us who raise our voices in the diaspora fight this media war against Turkish-Azeri fake news and lies", denounced Analian.

"We are the generations of Armenians who took refuge in Argentina escaping from the genocide. We know what they want to achieve by attacking the civilian population: they want to end the Armenian people. They want to repeat history, but that is not going to happen," said Analian.

The protest was organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Homenetmen South America, Armenian Relief Society of South America, Armenian Youth Federation of South America and Hamazkayin.

Marcha armenia a las Embajadas de Azerbaiyán y Turquía para exigir el fin de los ataques contra Nagorno Karabaj

3.10.20


En la tarde del sábado 3 de octubre se realizó una marcha a las Embajadas de Azerbaiyán y Turquía para exigir el cese inmediato de los ataques contra Nagorno Karabaj y Armenia.

Agustín Analian pronunció un discurso en el que denunció que Azerbaiyán y Turquía "le quieren hacer creer a su pueblo que ganando una guerra que nadie quiere pelear, van a perpetuarse en el poder". "¡Se equivocan!, la historia los juzgará y de la peor manera".

"Esta protesta se hace en todas partes del mundo contra su violencia. Mientras los jóvenes soldados y voluntarios resisten el embate injustificado y cruel en las fronteras, quienes levantamos la voz en las diásporas luchamos esta guerra mediática contra la desinformación, la tergiversación y la mentira turca-azerí", denunció Analian.

"Somos las generaciones de los armenios y armenias que se refugiaron en Argentina escapando del genocidio. Sabemos lo que quieren conseguir atacando a la población civil: quieren terminar con el pueblo armenio y buscan consumar el acto junto al genocida, al negador, al que quiere que lo vuelvan a llamar emperador de los otomanos: el nuevo sultán turco, Erdogan. ¡Ustedes quieren repetir la historia, pero eso no va a suceder", afirmó el dirigente.

The Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, presented a strong defense of Nagorno-Karabakh

2.10.20

 

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, published a letter sent to the Ambassador of Azerbaijan in the United States, Elin Suleymanov, in which he affirms that there is “clear evidence” of the “complete responsibility” of Azerbaijan in the “aggression and escalation of the conflict”. With this document, the OAS is positioned as the international organizations that provided one of the greatest political support to Artsakh and Armenia, Diario Armenia reported.

“During the last five years, we have followed closely the unilateral arms race of your country; it was a matter of deep concern because that escalation was undoubtedly the preparation for this armed aggression launched by Azerbaijan. There is clear evidence of your full responsibility regarding the aggression and the escalation of the conflict”, said Almagro.

“A statement was made by France with evidence that Turkey sent 300 ISIS-affiliated Islamists to join Azeri military in the conflict”, he added.

“It is also alarming that the United States Defense Department has confirmed the presence of hundreds of Syrian mercenaries from Turkey to support Azerbaijan. Additionally, in the recent meeting at the summit of the Twenty-Seven in Brussels, European leaders have denounced any external interference. The proof related to the participation of the Turkish air force in the conflict is absolutely condemnable”, said the letter.

“Armenia has already expressed their willingness to accept a negotiation, it is now your responsibility towards international peace and stability to accept the same. Furthermore, the statement that you reference in your letter was issued by the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS), which I have the honor to lead, and stated its strong condemnation of military aggression, especially those attacks directed towards civilians, and called for cessation of hostilities. I do not see how the nature of such statement is at odds with the principles and values of the OAS, or of the United Nations system at large”, mentioned Almagro.

“The core message of self-determination -a principle that you have decided to ignore- the peaceful resolution of conflicts -mother principle that you have decided to ignore-, and promotion of peace and stability contained in the declaration is absolutely compatible with the values and the activities of the OAS”.

“What I do consider incompatible with the principles of self-determination and peace and stability, are both the recent military attacks towards civilians in Nagorno-Karabakh and the foreign variables intervening and threatening a negotiation process. Just today the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia reported that civilian infrastructure is being targeted in Nagorno-Karabakh. According to the Armenian government, these criminal attacks against civilians were carried out by your country alongside Turkish military specialists. As we stated in our decimation on September 27, 2020, the practice of attacking civilians as military targets must be banished and constitutes a complete violation of most basic mles governing armed conflict”.

“The GS/OAS stands by its declaration regarding the recent military aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh (Reference: E-098/20) and reiterates the need to rescue and reactivate the negotiation process led by the authorities of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Minsk Group (OSCE Minsk Group). We believe that this conflict can only be solved through a negotiation process based on international law and the principles established in the Helsinki Accords”. Finally, Almagro expressed “again my sincere condolences to the victims of the violent clashes between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces”.

The Azeri complaint came after a September 27 statement in which Almagro “strongly condemned Azerbaijan’s recent military aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh, which directly ignores the calls of the United Nations to achieve peaceful solutions to the conflicts, as well as to promote lasting peace and stability”.

Luis Almagro is a great supporter of the Armenian Cause. As Foreign Minister of Uruguay, Almagro made in 2011 a historic position demanding the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh. In 2016, also as Secretary General of the OAS, he condemned Azerbaijan during the “Four Days War”. A year earlier, in 2015, as Chancellor of Uruguay he requested “recognition in the international concert of nations” of Karabakh.

Argentine Foreign Minister Felipe Sola: The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict "hurts me in a special way"

2.10.20

Argentine Foreign Minister Felipe Solá made strong statements on the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh on October 1 at a conference of the Inter-American Council for Trade and Production.

The answer came after a question of businessman and philanthropist Eduardo Eurnekian, who asked: "Argentina has one of the largest Armenian communities on the world and the Argentine State has been a pioneer in the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. What is the position of the Argentine government in the face of the escalation of the armed conflict started on Sunday by Azerbaijan, in which Turkey has now become involved?".

"We know April 24 as the day of the genocide of the Armenian people. On the 24th, I greeted the Armenian community in Argentina because I believe there was a genocide and I am convinced that they are right," Felipe Solá replied.

"We have the 3rd most important Armenian community in the world, after the United States and France. For this reason, I asked the Argentine Ambassador in Washington 3 days ago to initiate contacts to find out if on behalf of the Armenian communities we can get together so that the three largest Armenian communities could additionally request a ceasefire," said the Argentine Foreign Minister.

"At this moment two things are happening: first, Azerbaijan has greater war power, it is richer as a country and it has the material and concrete support of Turkey. Instead, Armenia has the support of the Minsk Group in terms of seeking a ceasefire, which is what Armenia is asking for", explained Sola.

"It hurts me personally in a special way. As Chancellor, I cannot go beyond this. But we do say that we will try to insist on the ceasefire and be in permanent contact with our Embassy in Armenia. This escalation must stop now," he added.

In that sense, Felipe Sola recalled that "there was a war in which Armenia triumphed. Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave that now wants to be independent in some cases, but that has an Armenian culture, an Armenian language, an Armenian education and Armenian grandparents. Armenia won that place for itself, although later the forces that achieved peace for them, turned it into an independent territory".

"We are very concerned and I understand Eduardo Eurnekian's concern, I have received calls from all my friends. I have two Armenians out of ten - which is quite a lot - on an honorary foreign policy council: Juan Gabriel Tokatlian and Adolfo Koutoudjian. I believe that the conflict is very worrying and the aggressive attitude is not in Armenia", concluded the Chancellor.
