Federation of Turkish American Associations and Azerbaijan Society of America to hold demonstration

25 April 2007 [08:17] - TODAY.AZ
On May 8, the Federation of Turkish American Associations (FTAA) and Azerbaijan Society of America (ASA) will hold demonstration in front of UN headquarters in NYC to protest the occupation of 16% of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan by Armenian aggression and for the Human Rights of nearly 1 million refugees because of the occupation.

FTAA and ASA will call upon the United Nations to start implementing and enforcing the four UN Security Council Resolutions (#822, 853, 874, 884) and one UN General Assembly Resolution (A/RES/48/114) against Armenia to withdraw from Azerbaijan's lands. They will call upon United Nations to force Armenia, a member of it's own
governing body, to respect the will and decisions of the international community. They will call upon United Nations to start implementing all UN Resolutions in order to stop rogue nations for carrying out crimes against humanity.

Both FTAA and ASA is seriously concerned by the long lasting fires in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, which has inflicted widespread environmental damage.

FTAA and ASA will urge the main UN bodies responsible for International Peace and Security and request distinguished Secretary-General to take practical measures to force Armenian aggressors to free Azerbaijan's lands and to force Armenian occupants to stop violating human rights of nearly 1 million Azerbaijani refugees. We will ask
distinguished Secretary-General to express a strong position in response to illegal actions of Armenia in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan such as using destructive flames to make those territories unsuitable for living and cultivating. Ongoing actions by Armenia constitute a gross violation of international humanitarian law.
