Azerbaijan has never said that the people of Artsakh do not have the right to return to their country and will not say either. declared international law specialist, lawyer Ara Ghazaryan.
“Although we know, of course, that it is hypocrisy, a double standard, but at least he is playing the game, the criminals are verbally fulfilling the principles of international law, respecting them. What he says to the domestic audience is different in the international arena,” he said.
According to Ghazaryan, the right of return is a norm of customary international law, because states have respected it for centuries and have not opposed it.
He emphasized that the people of Artsakh left their settlements as a result of military operations, and Article 49 of the Geneva Convention clearly establishes the right of return, and also establishes the ban on deportation.
“This means that Azerbaijan will be obliged to develop structures for Armenians, first of all, security, perhaps adopt new laws or teach the residents something else, eliminate systemic discrimination for reintegration,” he said.
Ara Ghazaryan mentioned that he has won three cases against Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan does not comply with the judgments, but it does not say that it does not comply either.
“Azerbaijan is constantly able to evade international norms, but it won’t last long, there are certain political and legal resources, which are gradually running out,” he said.
