❗️(1/1) In order to be entitled to exercise a remedial secession there should be 2 grounds:
1) responsible national administration must have committed most severe, massive and systematic HR violations and discriminations towards the ethnic group or minority;
(1/2)
2) Situation must have reached a point at which such rights can only be ensured by means of secession as a last resort.
Did Armenians had a right to remedial secession then?
(1/3)
Considering prior neighborly relations between Azerbaijanis & Armenians and participation of Arm|s in political as well as cultural affairs, exercise of such a right was obviously out of question.
(1/4)
Referring to 1915 Armenian genocide or 1988 Sumgait pogrom in order to justify massive HR violations against Armenians has nothing to do with Azerbaijan or NK, let alone providing Arm|s who reside in NK a right to secession.
❗️(1/5)
Furthermore, recognition by international community of states can only complete the exercise of alleged right when the creation of a new state may be completed on the basis of classical concept of statehood.
That is ex factis jus oritur (law arises from the facts).
(1/6)
However, if the status achieved does not comply with IL, this is viewed as being non-compliant with the doctrine of statehood. ‘Exercise of effective authority’ criteria lacks, let alone recognition. That’s why there is no state practice to recognize these entities either.
(1/7)
That is ex injuria jus non oritur (illegal acts do not create legal rights). Hence, illegally formed entity cannot demand recognition where they do not possess a right or title to exercise authority on a certain territory. NK had not had such a right or title, now neither.
❗️(1/8)
Mr. PM should also have a look at the definition of genocide indicated in the UN Convention of 1948. If Arm|s voluntarily flee Azerbaijani land of #Karabakh it does not mean that Azerbaijan commits genocide towards them. It is ridiculous to mention that.
(1/9)
Azerbaijan, unlike Armenia, has never had an inclination to commit genocide or attempted any ethnic cleansing. Conversely, @presidentaz has clearly stated that we have nothing to do with civilians, we’d rather protect them from the criminal regime they have suffered from.
⁉️(1/10)
Interesting: Does that mean that Aze|s who were forcibly expelled from their homes in Arm also claim a territory of Arm given it they were treated inhumanely, their nationals were killed in #Khojaly genocide, 1M ppl became refugees? Why not huh?Should we? @NikolPashinyan
