The secrecy surrounding foreign policy processes has often created challenges for the Republic of Armenia and its statehood. This vicious practice must be put to an end; henceforth, any Government or political party must not bypass the people and accept momentous and irreversible decisions based on narrow personal or group interests. Regarding the delimitation and demarcation of borders, these can only be considered legal through the inclusion of United Nations and OSCE representatives, in accordance with legal processes enshrined in international legal norms.

Since May 12, 2021, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan have intruded into the internationally recognized territory of the Republic of Armenia in violation of the state border and the UN Charter, infiltrating as deep as 3.5 kilometers in some sections. The fact that the mentioned territory is an indisputable part of the Republic of Armenia is confirmed not only by the information published by the official Yerevan, but also by the evidence-based publications of independent media.

We condemn the pre-election persecutions of political opponents and their supporters; violations during early voting and election day as reported by citizen observers, including arbitrary detention of observers and obstruction of their work; falsification of results; the post-election arrests, as well as disproportionate and unjustified use of force by the police that cost at least one life and left several people injured.

As a result of the election held on 1 July 2020, by a simple majority of Coordination Council members’ votes, the representatives of the aforementioned seven organizations were declared to be involved in the Coordination Council’s activities of the implementation of the Action Plan 2020-2022 deriving from the National Strategy on Human Rights Protection.
