This is the chilling fact of history and the catastrophic effects of expansionist ideology and hatred.

We witnessed a state-sanctioned incitement to hate and genocide, whose epicentre is Armenia. Let there be no mistake about it – Armenia has committed the crime of incitement to genocide prohibited under the Genocide Convention. Yet not one state party to the Genocide Convention has undertaken its mandated legal obligation to hold Armenia to account. I sincerely hope that the countries who signed up to this convention will finally demonstrate willingness to bring the criminals to justice.
