call on the parties of the UN framework convention on climate change and participants of COP29

we emphasize the importance of civil society's participation in international processes concerning climate change. However, being unable to participate in COP29 in Baku due to Azerbaijan’s anti-Armenian policies, we are joining this statement:

“ The decision to hold COP29 in Baku was problematic in itself, considering not only the fact that such an event is being held in a country with a fossil fuel-based economy but also the reality that this state uses profits from these resources to expand military aggression and blatantly violate international law. This includes the military aggression launched in Nagorno-Karabakh in the fall of 2020, accompanied by grave war crimes, the blockade and starvation of over 100,000 Armenians for more than 9 months, the constant terrorizing of the population, the military attack in September 2023, the forced displacement of Nagorno-Karabakh's Armenian population, and the complete ethnic cleansing, as well as military attacks on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia and the occupation of certain areas.

While pretending to engage in peace negotiations with Armenia, the Azerbaijani authorities continue the decades-long state-level anti-Armenian propaganda and the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage and traces in the territories under their control…”
