Artsakh women protest outside UN Armenia office in Yerevan

English


“We have left our husbands, fathers, and brothers at the frontline. We’ve gathered here today, demanding to stop the war, and we are voicing about the war crimes that Turkey and Azerbaijan are now committing in Artsakh. We want the United Nations Armenia representative to meet with us and hear us out,” said Irina Safaryan, one of the demonstrators.

50 minutes after the launch month initiative, 3 participants of the demonstration were allowed to enter the building. One of the participants coming out of a meeting with a representative of the UN office announced that Sharp was not there.

“We have agreed that, at our demand, we will come again at 17:00. If necessary, we will wait for 15 days because we have nowhere to go,” she added.
