Internally displaced persons from Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavand and other districts of the Karabakh region currently under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers have made an appeal to the international community. "We – the internally displaced persons from Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavand and other districts of the Karabakh region currently under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers – declare to the international community that although the Karabakh conflict ended three years ago, in 2020, we are still unable to return to our cities, districts, villages, homes and native lands. Armenia is circulating false propaganda that only Armenians allegedly lived in those regions. They are even denying the fact it was Azerbaijanis who had historically lived there. This is a bogus claim! We are the true native residents of Khojaly, Khankendi, Karkijahan, Malibayli, Gushchular, Meshali, Garadaghli! As a result of Armenia's policy of aggression against Azerbaijan, we experienced tremendous tragedies, acts of genocide and mass killings...

An article written by Fuad Chiragov, the deputy director of the South Caucasus Research Center, was recently published in the esteemed US magazine "The National Interest." The article discusses Armenia's orchestrated international crisis centered around the Lachin road. Chiragov highlights how this manufactured crisis has had a detrimental impact on the previously fragile hopes of the negotiation process.

The author emphasizes that Armenia has strategically leveraged this crisis, taking it to the level of a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting. Notably, some countries at the UNSC meeting stressed the importance of refraining from exploiting humanitarian issues for political gain.

Armenia's campaign aims to exert psychological and moral pressure on Azerbaijan, international public opinion, and UNSC member countries. It seeks to shape the narrative that "Armenians of Karabakh cannot coexist within Azerbaijan." This underscores Armenia's insincerity in previous negotiations, particularly its commitment to achieving the secession of Karabakh Armenians from Azerbaijan following Armenia's 2021 parliamentary elections...

The indifference displayed by the United States of America (US) towards our cause starkly contradicts its professed dedication to human rights. This sentiment was expressed in the statement issued by the West Azerbaijan Community.

"We have taken note of the statement made by the United States (US) Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, on September 10, 2023. In his address, he stressed the importance of any peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan safeguarding the rights and security of Karabakh's Azerbaijani residents. He also called for a dialogue between Baku and the Karabakh residents.

Regrettably, Secretary of State Blinken's statement failed to address the issue of Azerbaijanis forcibly expelled from Armenia. It is a well-documented fact that Armenia forcibly displaced all Azerbaijanis from its territory and continues to deny them the right to return to their homes. Armenia has not shown any willingness to engage in dialogue with the West Azerbaijan Community regarding this matter...

On September 12th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeyhun Bayramov, officially inaugurated the newly redesigned "Azerbaijan" room at the Geneva branch of the United Nations. This event was graced by the presence of Tatyana Valovaya, Director General of the Geneva branch of the UN, as well as permanent representatives from several countries in Geneva.

During the ceremony, Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and Director General Tatyana Valovaya underscored the invaluable contribution of the "Azerbaijan" room to the effective operations of the UN Office in Geneva.

The renovation project for this room, initially established by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation in 2007, commenced in 2022. The refurbishment included the installation of state-of-the-art technology, including numerous monitors, cameras, audio-video equipment, and related accessories. Furthermore, advanced programming was integrated into the room, enabling globally synchronized meetings, presentations, and gatherings.

The room's design prominently features elements of Azerbaijani culture and heritage...

An article titled "Armenia-Azerbaijan: Unveiling the Untold Story of the Karabakh Conflict" has been published on the renowned "Atlantic" Radio website in Colombia.

In this article, Colombian journalist Paola Vargas passionately recounts the horrifying atrocities he bore witness to during his visit to Azerbaijan's recently liberated territories. His primary aim is to shed light on the "barbarism Azerbaijan endured" for the benefit of his readers.

Vargas vividly describes the indelible scars left behind by the unimaginable atrocities committed in Karabakh, which had been under Armenian occupation for nearly three decades. The arduous task of reconstructing and rehabilitating these areas, marred by destruction and landmines, will demand considerable time and resources.

Expressing his shock, Vargas laments the transformation of Azerbaijani cities, once vibrant and thriving before the Armenian occupation, into desolate "ghost cities." His anguish intensifies as he recounts his visit to Ganja, where residential areas had been mercilessly attacked with rockets. He questions the motives behind Armenia's assault on innocent civilians, asking, "Why do these truths not receive the attention they deserve in the international media?"...

It is truly regrettable that the International Committee of the Red Cross, a globally respected humanitarian organization, finds itself associated with both the Armenian state and separatist groups. This organization, entrusted with the noble mission of providing assistance in times of crisis, appeared to exhibit double standards during the Patriotic War. Their actions, such as attempting to extract Armenian prisoners from Fuzuli and the illicit transport of weapons and ammunition along the Lachin-Khankendi road, raise questions about the alignment of their actions with their principles.

Umud Rahimoglu, the head of the International Eurasian Press Foundation, voiced these concerns. He emphasized recent events in the Karabakh economic region, which shed light on the intentions of separatist entities and certain international organizations. They portrayed Armenians as suffering from prolonged hunger and facing a "humanitarian disaster." However, if a village or town's residents truly suffered from hunger, why would they reject food supplies intended for their children, elderly residents, and the sick? It's evident that this portrayal is far from the reality of a "humanitarian disaster."...

The primary aim of this project, initiated in August of this year, is to empower students and their interest-based groups, enabling them to identify and prioritize their challenges collectively. The project intends to establish a minimum of four groups or clubs, such as "Filmmakers and Photography," "Art and Culture," "Literature and Poetry," "Eco Club," and "Music and Drama (Theatre)," among others.

The OIC's official statement asserts that these "elections" took place in the internationally recognized Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, currently under the temporary jurisdiction of Russian peacekeepers. This action is seen as an attempt to unilaterally legitimize the current situation in the region, which is in direct contradiction to international law. The statement highlights that this move constitutes a significant violation of international law, including United Nations Security Council resolutions, OIC mandates, and OSCE principles.
Furthermore, the OIC condemns these "elections," especially given the ongoing efforts by Azerbaijan and Armenia to engage in peace talks. The OIC considers these elections as detrimental to the negotiation process.
The General Secretariat of the OIC categorically refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of these "elections" as they infringe upon Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Consequently, the OIC calls upon the United Nations and the international community to also refrain from recognizing these elections and to implement effective measures aimed at preventing any actions by Armenia that could jeopardize the delicate progress toward normalization in the region.
The OIC, an advocate for the peace negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, remains hopeful that the expeditious signing of a durable peace agreement will significantly enhance stability and harmony within the region.

The West Azerbaijan Community urges the international community to denounce the recent "presidential elections" organized by the illegitimate Armenian regime within Azerbaijan's sovereign territories, which they still support.

The community's petition highlights Armenia's concentration of manpower and military equipment along the state border, exacerbating tensions. The West Azerbaijan Community firmly calls upon the international community to condemn this provocative "election."

Regarding Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's repeated phone calls to world leaders and his offer of "urgent negotiations with Azerbaijan," these gestures are viewed as insincere. To genuinely pursue peace, Pashinyan must take concrete actions, including the removal of remaining Armenian armed forces from Azerbaijani territory, disarming illegal armed groups, and initiating dialogue with the West Azerbaijani community to facilitate their return.
