🇩🇪 LIVESTREAM: The Swiss Peace Initiative for Nagorno Karabakh - a public event in Berlin.
Featuring Luis Moreno Ocampo, Artak Beglaryan, Arman Tatoyan, Jonathan Spangenberg, and CSI.
Livestream begins at 17h central European time, Wednesday, October 8.
We stress that no genuine peace b/w 🇦🇲&🇦🇿 can be achieved w/o justice for the Nagorno-Karabakh people. Any agreement that disregards rights, erases history, sacrifices future is not a peace agreement, but an act of appeasement that rewards aggression & source of future conflict.
H.E. Mr. Xavier Bettel, Chair of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Luxembourg on the rights of Artsakh/NK people.
