The world community should have taken upon itself a long time ago the task of releasing political prisoners, prisoners of war, and other detainees being held in Azerbaijan. The world community should take on such courage. Well-known Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg stated this at the conference in Yerevan Thursday on Azerbaijan’s aggression against human rights and environmental protection.
In her assessment, the holding of COP29 climate conference in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, creates more challenges.
World leaders are in Azerbaijan and are afraid to say what they can be punished for. Azerbaijan remains unpunished, no one demands it in exchange for the violation of human rights, Thunberg said.
Because the world leaders are there, no one demands anything from them for inaction. It is a slap to the victims and climate change, and the president Aliyev regime of Azerbaijan, Thunberg noted.
She asked how COP29 can be held in Azerbaijan, where there is not even the slightest respect for human rights and whether such countries are deciding the climate agenda. Such conferences cannot bring anything positive to that agenda, Thunberg added.
She emphasized that the Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) fought for their rights, as well as the right to live and survive.
