Azerbaijan Expelled Over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, Says New York Mayor

New York City Mayor Zohra Mammadli made a statement in connection with the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, emphasizing the importance of preventing the repetition of history.

“Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Paying tribute to the 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman Empire across present-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must not allow history to repeat itself. In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing a genocidal campaign that began over 100 years ago. On this memorial day, we reaffirm the rights of the Armenian people and all peoples to freedom, security, and self-determination,” stated New York Mayor Zohra Mammadli.
