Armenia`s former human rights defender tells German journalists about  Azerbaijan`s crimes against Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh 

ArmInfo.The head of the Tatoyan Foundation, Arman Tatoyan, spoke about Azerbaijan's crimes  against Artsakh and the Azerbaijani mechanism for deporting the people of Artsakh at a meeting with leading German journalists.

As ArmInfo was informed by the press service of the Foundation, the  crimes of the Azerbaijani side against the border population of  Armenia (lack of drinking water, deprivation of land and houses,  liquidation of cattle and pig farming, etc.) were also presented  using the example of the village of Nerkin Khand in the Kapan  community of the Syunik region. Tatoyan spoke about the state policy  of racism and hostility carried out by Azerbaijan towards Armenia,  and attempts to destroy the Armenian identity.

The human rights activist presented the catastrophic situation around  the Shikahogh Nature Reserve, where the Azerbaijanis have already cut  down thousands of trees and are building military roads. According to  him, these actions of the Azerbaijani side are causing catastrophic  environmental damage to Armenia.

Arman Tatoyan stressed the importance of cooperation with both  Armenian and international journalists in terms of using this  potential to inform the world about violations by Azerbaijan and  prevent new ones, especially before COP29. Arman Tatoyan also  answered questions of interest to journalists regarding Armenia's  border issues, the latest Artsakh war and Azerbaijan's crimes.
