Armenia Must Compensate Azerbaijan, Say Member States of the Islamic Cooperation Organization

Armenia must compensate Azerbaijan for its aggression. This is the assertion of the 57 countries that are members of the Islamic Cooperation Organization (ICO), the only religious grouping of states in the world.

During a meeting in Islamabad, the foreign ministers of these countries adopted four resolutions in support of Baku. Among them are:

• “Solidarity with the victims of the Khojaly massacre,”
• “Economic support to the Republic of Azerbaijan,”
• “Elimination of the consequences of Armenian aggression against the Republic of Azerbaijan,”
• “Destruction of historical and cultural monuments of Islamic culture in the territories of Azerbaijan due to the aggression of the Republic of Armenia.”

This 48th session of the ICO Council, held on March 22-23, 2022, concluded with a resolution that reaffirms Azerbaijan's right to seek compensation from Armenia for the so-called “damages caused.”
