"While this assembly is being held, in the news we read that Azerbaijan has started military operations with the goal of taking control of Nagorno-Karabakh," he told the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, September 19. "The international community cannot remain indifferent to this reality. It must react preventively to avoid new ethnic, racial, religious or political persecution," he added. Fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) continued into the night and the morning of Wednesday, September 20 after Azerbaijan launched a fresh offensive against the Armenians of Karabakh, also targeting civilian infrastructure.
