YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 13, ARMENPRESS. Former Ombudsman of Armenia, Chairperson of “Against Legal Arbitrariness” NGO Larisa Alaverdyan documents that the Artsakh (Karabakh) Movement was the consequence of the unbearable oppressions that Armenians in Artsakh and Soviet Azerbaijan were subjected to. Larisa Alaverdyan told the reporters at the media hall of ARMENPRESS news agency that there is misperception that the persecutions and hostile attitude towards Armenians in Soviet Azerbaijan were the reaction of Azerbaijanis to the Artsakh Movement. “There is a wrong perception and it seems the general approach is that those brutalities took place as an answer to Karabakh Movement. Today it’s of key importance for Armenians to make clear that the Artsakh Movement was the reaction to those oppressions that had already grown unbearable”, Alaverdyan said, adding that Azerbaijanis had succeeded in getting rid of Armenians in Nakhichevan but had failed to do the same in Artsakh.
