Ex-ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo’s genocide report may become future indictment against Azerbaijan – senior diplomat
Armenia’s Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan has responded to the Aliyev regime’s attempts to misrepresent the expert opinion by the former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Luis Moreno Ocampo concluding that the Azeri blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh constitutes genocide as being biased, ARMENPRESS reports.
In a social media post, Marukyan said that the Azeri officials would never have paid attention to the report had it been biased.
Marukyan added that Ocampo’s report may become a future indictment against Azerbaijan.
“Referring to the report of the former chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo of the International Criminal Court, the assistant of the President of Azerbaijan claimed that it was biased. The report of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court concludes about the genocidal policy conducted by Azerbaijan, and if it was biased or not based on facts, Hikmet Hajiyev and the entire Azerbaijani propaganda would never pay attention to it or spend a minute of their time to address it. Hence, it's a solid report with facts and analyses, which may become a future indictment against Azerbaijani leadership,” Marukyan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Ocampo has warned that Azerbaijan is preparing genocide against the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh and called for a U.N. Security Council intervention.
