В ноябре 2020 г. известные армянские и зарубежные деятели искусства и науки начали онлайн-сбор подписей для лишения первого вице-президента Азербайджана Мехрибан Алиевой почетного звания Посла доброй воли ЮНЕСКО. На 18 февраля 2021 г. собрано более 36300 подписей. Ссылки на полный текст Петиции — выше. После краткого перевода на русский приведены имена 101 подписавшего Петицию первыми.

Несмотря на прошедшие месяцы, Петиция по-прежнему актуальна, в т.ч. в силу того, что власти Азербайджана не разрешают приезд официальной комиссии ЮНЕСКО, чтобы успеть больше уничтожить и скрыть следы своих многочисленных преступлений от мировой общественности.

Открытое письмо генеральному директору ЮНЕСКО Одри Азуле

“Мы считаем, что первый вице-президент Азербайджана Мехрибан Алиева, представитель одного из самых коррумпированных, жестоких и репрессивных современных режимов, как политик, который несет полную ответственность за многочисленные нарушения прав человека, поощрение и осуществление политики ненависти в отношении армян на государственном уровне, а также за многочисленные военные преступления, совершенные азербайджанским руководством против армян, не должна оставаться Послом доброй воли ЮНЕСКО”, — говорится в письме.

Авторы открытого письма напомнили также заявления жены президента Азербайджана и первого вице-президента Азербайджана о том, что карабахский конфликт может быть решен только военным путем, а 30-летние переговоры были бессмысленными.

В письме, направленном генеральному директору ЮНЕСКО, отмечено также об объектах культуры, гражданских инфраструктур в Шуши и в Степанакерте, которые привели к разрушениям и человеческим жертвам.

Под открытым письмом подписались канадский кинорежиссер Атом Эгоян, солист группы SOAD Серж Танкян, канадская актриса армянского происхождения Арсине Ханджян, израильский кинорежиссер Амос Гитай, ряд известных общественных и культурных деятелей, руководители различных образовательных учреждений, ученые.
