Armenia accuses Azerbaijan of ‘ethnic cleansing’ at World Court

Armenia yesterday accused its rival Azerbaijan of "ethnic cleansing" in Nagorno-Karabakh at the UN's top court, urging judges to protect the handful of ethnic Armenians still living in the breakaway region.

"Less than nine months ago, I stood at this podium and warned that Azerbaijan was putting in motion a plan to ethnically cleanse Nagorno-Karabakh of all ethnic Armenians," said Armenia's representative at the International Court of Justice.
