3. Baroness Cox interview with ‘120,000 Reasons’
|
|
|
|
| Baroness Cox spoke to the international campaign group ‘120,000 Reasons, which fights to defend the rights of the 120,000 Armenians who were forcibly displaced from their home in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) by Azerbaijan.
“Azerbaijan is getting away with an assault on people within Armenia itself, with impunity, and I think that is very worrying … I think we need to highlight that because it is a violation of national sovereignty and an attack on civilians in what should be peaceful areas”, Baroness Cox said. |

4. Recent developments and news articles covering Armenia and Artsakh
|
|
|
|
 |
| According to Arman Tatoyan, former Human Rights Defender of Armenia, the four Armenian servicemen who were killed and injured by Azerbaijan were hit from the Azerbaijani positions inside the territory of Armenia. “Any presence of Azerbaijani armed servicmen in the vicinity of any community of Armenia or on the roads between communities is unlawful, criminal”, he said. |
|
 |
| “The Armenian alphabet is not just a writing system: it’s also a numerical system used for mathematical calculations and recording calendar dates, as well as a national point of pride”. |
|
 |
| UK authorities have frozen 22 London properties that the Azerbaijani lawmaker Javanshir Feyziyev and his wife are suspected to have bought with “the proceeds of unlawful conduct,” the high court ruled on Thursday. |
|
|
 |
| Azerbaijani terrorist Kamil Zeynalli, who beheaded an elderly Armenian during the 2020 war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) was detained at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport and charged for murder after being placed on an international wanted list by Armenia. Zeynalli, who also works as a fitness influencer, received a medal in 2021 by the Azerbaijani Government for his actions during the war. He was later released back to Azerbaijan. |
|
 |
| The Azerbaijani armed forces killed four Armenian soldiers and wounded one during its latest attack in Nerkin Hand, Syunik, on the morning of February 13, according to the information reported by the Ministry of Defence of Armenia. |
|
 |
| The Lemkin Institute issued a new Red Flag Alert for Azerbaijan “based on the renewed aggressiveness of the Azerbaijani state in the wake of President Ilham Aliyev’s re-election on 7 February 2024”. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Despite the fact that the UK government “publicly condemned the Aliyev regime’s ‘unacceptable use of force’ in Nagorno-Karabakh”, “a recording of the online meeting, shared with the Guardian by campaigners at Global Witness, includes one senior UK government official encouraging business leaders to take advantage of the financial opportunities in the ‘huge western chunk of the country that needs to be rebuilt from the ground up'”.
“Jonathan Noronha-Gant, a senior campaigner at Global Witness, said: ‘Behind closed doors, the UK government is calling Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh a ‘great opportunity’. What century are these officials living in? It’s not a great opportunity for the UK, nor for the people who were displaced'”. |

Why Donate?
The Armenian National Committee of the United Kingdom (ANC-UK) is the largest and most influential British-Armenian political grassroots organisation.
Working in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout Britain and affiliated organisations around the world, ANC-UK actively advances the concerns of the British-Armenian community on a broad range of issues.
The work achieved by ANC-UK is currently on a volunteer basis. However, we are hopeful that in the coming years through the financial support of our community, the ANC-UK chapter will have the necessary funds to open a full-time office employing an Executive Director and a part-time Administrative Assistant.
Setting up an ANC-UK office will allow for our organisation’s goals to be achieved as they have been throughout the diaspora in the United States of America, Canada, Australia and Europe.
As a grassroots organisation, we rely upon you, our community and friends for financial assistance to advance our cause. Your donations support our goal of having a full-time office, to advocate on issues important to all British-Armenians and the Armenian cause.
Thank you for your consideration of our request for your support.
