AZERBAIJANI lawyers urged the International Court of Justice (ICJ) today to throw out a case against them over its “state-sponsored policy of Armenian hatred” in the Nargorno-Karabakh dispute.

Tensions over the region led to a 2020 war killing more than 6,600 people.

Armenian filed a case with the top United Nations court in 2021, saying Azerbaijan’s “hatred” has led to “systemic discrimination, mass killings, torture and other abuse.”
