Digest for December on Artsakh (Karabakh), religious and cultural heritage

in Russian – https://crossroadorg.info/digest-dec-2021/ Azerbaijan continues to commit systematic crimes against the Armenian religious and cultural heritage in the controlled territories of Artsakh (Karabakh).

This is not just about the Armenian heritage, but, given the crimes and threats against the Christian heritage of Georgia, Serbia, Cyprus, the Middle East, we are talking about a global problem and danger.

Appeal to the UN on World Refugee Day, June 20

in Russian – http://crossroadorg.info/un_20-6-2020/ For more than 30 years, the international community, UN, OSCE do not pay due attention to the Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan.

In March 2019, the UN applied to the Turkish authorities, demanding a response about Armenian refugees 100 years ago. This is too late and episodic attention. The issue is complex, associated with gross violations of international norms and fundamental rights of many indigenous peoples of the region and requires a radically different attitude. “Khachmeruk” (“Crossroad”) public organization of sociological […]
