Dear OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe,
My name is Mkrtich.
I am Armenian. My brothers and sisters of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic have been living in peace for over two decades. They have built a democratic nation to be proud of.
12-year-old Vaghinak from Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, also known as Artsakh, was on his way to school with his brother when his path – and his life – was stopped short by fatal bomb by the Azerbaijani army that fell on his school. His brother and friend were severely wounded and immediately hospitalized. No child should die on his way to get an education for a better future. No army should kill innocent people and bomb homes, schools, and villages. The Azerbaijani army is committing war crimes spreading hate and animosity based on race or religion. This is completely unacceptable. I strongly condemn the criminal actions of the Azerbaijani authorities and ask you to stop Aliyev and say no to racism. #SayNoToRacism #StopAliyev
