This false equivalent strategy has helped enable Azerbaijan to violate the very laws and conventions that the UN established to prevent ethnic cleansing and genocide in the first place. In effect, Azerbaijan's brazen military actions and forced evacuations are sending a cynical message to the world community--during UN General Assembly week no less.  It is telling the world that it can operate outside of the international world order simply because nobody is willing to check the veracity of its claims or put this aggression into perspective as part of a genocidal pattern of behavior recently denounced by human rights agencies and experts including US, French and other government officials.

Key Points: 
  • This act of so-called benevolence flies in the face of reality, yet the world media reports it without the appropriate context.
  • This false equivalent strategy has helped enable Azerbaijan to violate the very laws and conventions that the UN established to prevent ethnic cleansing and genocide in the first place.
  • "The world owes that to the Armenians who have suffered immensely from false equivalencies and largely inadequate reporting long enough.
  • Since 1906, AGBU has remained true to one overarching goal: to create a foundation for the prosperity of all Armenians.
