CSI is calling on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to declare his support for Armenians from #NagornoKarabakh/#Artsakh to “be allowed home,” just as he has declared his support for Palestinians from #Gaza to be allowed to return and rebuild.

www.csi-int.org/news/starmer...
Dear Prime Minister, We commend the moral sentiments of your statement on Gaza – that the displaced population “must be allowed home, they must be allowed to rebuild, and we shall be with them in that rebuild, on the way to a two-state solution.” CSI shares the view that victims of violence must not be forced from their homes. Ethnic and religious communities should be free to live in peace, dignity, security and with fundamental human rights fully respected, regardless of race or religion. We remain deeply disturbed by the previous UK Government’s refusal to honor these principles uniformly. They tacitly accepted Azerbaijan’s ethnic-religious cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh. An estimated 120,000 Armenian Christian inhabitants were forced to flee their homeland in September 2023. Your predecessors failed to stand in solidarity with these victims of conflict. This failure has not only negatively impacted the forcibly displaced, many of whom remain stateless and in dire poverty. It has also contributed to the catastrophe that has now enveloped the people of Gaza. It has given de facto legitimisation to the idea that “might makes right." If the international human rights instruments are only applied selectively, this catastrophe will not end in Gaza. The world is being drawn deeper into a violent vortex of lawlessness from which the United Kingdom itself will not escape. I therefore urge you to reverse this dangerous trajectory. An appropriate place to start would be for you to do what your predecessors failed to do. That is to declare: “The forcibly displaced Armenian Christians of Nagorno Karabakh must be allowed home, they must be allowed to rebuild, and we shall be with them in that rebuild – on the way to a two-state solution.” This act would mark a fitting beginning to principled British resistance to the dangers posed by the “might is right” principle of international affairs. Yours faithfully, Dr. John Eibner President CSI - United Kingdom British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
