BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 22. The Western
Azerbaijan Community has refuted Claude Wiseler’s, President of
Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies, statement attempting to accuse
Azerbaijan of “ethnic cleansing” and “demanding the release” of
those involved in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and
terrorism, Trend
reports, referring to the community’s statement.
During a May 22 session of the Armenian parliament, Wiseler
delivered a biased statement expressing sympathy for Armenians who
voluntarily departed Karabakh and urged Azerbaijan to submit a list
of specific “missing” individuals.
The community notes that, in fact, the policy of ethnic
cleansing was implemented by Armenia. The country, which occupied
Azerbaijani territories for 30 years, forcibly displaced over
300,000 Azerbaijanis from their homes between 1987 and 1991. Yet,
the fate of over 4,000 missing Azerbaijanis from the First Karabakh
War remains unknown.
“All of this suggests that Claude Wiseler discriminates against
Azerbaijan. Given recent attempts to normalize Azerbaijan-Armenia
relations, including border delimitation, such harmful and improper
interference by external parties is unacceptable. The group wants
Wiseler to be fair and restore over 300,000 Western Azerbaijanis to
their native homeland,” the statement emphasizes.
