The Armenian cultural, religious, and historical monuments of Nagorno-Karabakh must be protected, and peace must be based on mutual respect and understanding.
@USEmbassyBaku Demanding that Armenia amend its Constitution as a precondition for peace is itself a challenge to Armenia's sovereignty. A truly durable peace cannot be built on one side dictating changes to the other's foundational legal framework. Claims that Armenia is not committed to peace also ignore Azerbaijan's ongoing destruction of Armenian cultural heritage and the continued detention of Armenian political prisoners without due process. Peace requires accountability and mutual respect, not coercion. #ArmenianGenocide #Armenia #Azerbaijan #SouthCaucasus #TRIPP
