ethnic armenians fleeing the territory. the enclave has been disputed for decades, and while it is internationally recognized as part of us, every on until now, it had been governed by ethnic armenians. so as evers i'm guilty of ethnic cleansing, of some of its predict suggest for is barcode, just reclaiming its territory. as it claims and will the conflict in with the board will cut it back, or is there a risk of further escalation? will actually ambassador of the republic of our service out to the united kingdom is which headliner lean sony model? the lean. so the model of invested or the republic of his ever john to the united kingdom. what thank you for joining me on upfront. thank you. thank you. my fact for the invitation as ever, jones military operation into the garden. okay. kind of back into the territory is led to a mass exodus of 100000 people or more almost the entire population of

a territory. according to the un, high commissioner for refugees gives that statistic to us. this has now led to a humanitarian crisis among those who fled with many suffering from severe malnutrition. but yet a day after the incursion is edward jones president, it'll have idea of said his sources had, quote, punished the enemy, who's the enemy here to? that's a very good question. thank you. my dad. i mean definitely i the tubes of the problem to go by the media stations on the territory. there was a book to me is that the not the only to other budget on the side, but also to the same tens of thousands of letting me in a residence. we lived there who brought us them into this conflict of it. basically between the john and the media as quote and caused the suffering. now though, so the name is also the people who let december, the city shame for a long time and now the custody and the jungle offered me that those tags, ballistic me sales tax into the civilian targets and does emergent. but people of

ethnic, i mean in the background with oh, there's events that are not out and they meet. in fact, that repeated the budget has reached out to them, urging them to stay, offering them citizenship to become a part of diverse, a culture of, of the budget. and it is a function to so many left. we hope that some of them will come back, some of them have the option past present. i've of them, i mean in the past, but so they may not come back. but uh, we do hope to have a normal life for most of the journey. and it think, i mean it should be this. and also by the way, the same person who leads you and they show high commission and for the features in the media. she also said that there was no credible set to mouth treatment of the people who were leaving. uh got it. okay, just so i think that's the most important but not let's talk about those civilians . you mentioned the people who have contributed to the suffering of civilians. it seems to me that the civilians are the ones who are the primary recipients of

suffering in this situation over 80 percent have left. a unit step says 30 percent of those arriving are minors in many had been separated from their families. of the special representative of the world health organization says that new arrivals in armenia need, quote, urgent emergency assistance. given all of the suffering that this population has experience now, it wasn't worth putting all of these people in such a dire emergency state for this military operation to that's a, that's an excellent question to the people who to above this. i mean that the patients will always use this people as, as an excuse to go soften and to others, and to actually have the ability to go goes, let's step back for a 2nd. uh, why is the population of got a bunch of these, you know, as a bunch on these 100 percent, that meaning about duties and for the last 30 years is because is that mostly generalist company to the ethics of please god about a certain degree just had about 1000000 as much on it and it goes into it all

cleaned up. they've all flushed out in 1999 since i've worked with you and they said i was a witness to people arriving in the horrible condition. i mean, we do not want to do what that means have done to us. that's why we immediately offered them to stay at the focus on what's happening right now. it seems to me that there is a very clear practice of mistreatment here structurally that has to be accounted for. i mean, there's this report that was released last year that stated that there is a wide spread state sponsored practice of racial discrimination employed by as that bridge on the authorities against ethnic armenians. this was just last year president ali, i've been a speeches as made references to armenians as dogs a. how could i possibly believe? how can anyone pass the question? was there you answer? how, just, how possibly here are we supposed to believe that armenians are going to have their rights protected? how could it armenians themselves trust that their rights would be safe, guarded when the government is using language like this?

and when they're such a demonstrative will examples of harm a well let's, let's put things into perspective. but 1st of all, the facts on the go. nobody called on me, is dogs. the soldiers of acumen, guys are about johnny city. it is the chase, the john to set up a patient tube. so why would we say, why is it like nothing to do it again? when we look at the digit report that was submitted to the human committee on the elimination of racial discrimination, it's also about a public discourse by public officials that has been seen as a sign and a symptom of racial discrimination. referring to our meetings as barbarians as vandals, as fascist. again, the report didn't just talk about troops that was talking about a systematic state sponsored practice of racial discrimination, gifts, ethnic armenians. how do you respond to that report? again, not just an isolated case against the troops as you are alleging, but it gets on the way to, by the way, the, and those are those, those are the thoughts by the way, about, i mean, yeah, discrimination and language within. i mean it against of the but john,

is this to caught? this is the big about the soviet union, the in the vote in the state of very conflict a, there was a mess. it goes on the agenda, assuming is $1000000.00 people who kicked out on their homes. of course the, the solution is tense. we hear every day uh, validation. it snowed uh, references towards it, but generally united media, i mean it's just horrible language exist, but again, let's see what would be um, will be on the language and conversation. i mean, he is having visit as about doing it due to the upcoming work that we have not ever caused the both of us say about john. do you feel that the language has been used by uh, by your country's authorities? not just the president, but other officials has made the situation more or less then do you feel like these sections call them the situation or escalated it? let me say that because it is. uh, several days ago president i need spoke very clearly. he said, we do not hold local, i mean the population that it's possible for the crimes committed by the separatist leadership. he said the, our citizen just like everybody else. so i would suggest to look at the actions and

also look at it all for the do. do i, we offer, i mean, is to the, to leave with our society to be a part of the bestbuy dot 25 or 2022. your government began blocking the latch and core door, the only room connecting the board know kind of back to our media which led to severe food medicine and fuel shortages. the former chief prosecutor of the international criminal court, luis morning or compo initially said through the blockade, a quote, genocide is underway against 120000 armenians living in the guard. no kind of bucks . now he adds that be that are, that are, is that, but john's military operation, further as to the definition of a genocide, how do you respond to the former chief prosecutor of the international criminal court? the mug boots jealous, i don't know this a very heavy both. let's not use them like this is it. this is clearly not a general site. i mean on the why is it clearly from the not as a heavy guy or general side is what happened and the general side is what happened

in the so they need to hear you have a conflict with a separate this. well, i mean the, let me talk, let me talk to some of them for clarity here. the definition of a genocide is not to be like move on to the definition of a genocide under the ro statute is defined as acts committed with an attempt to destroy the whole lower part, a national ethnical racial or religious group, including killing members of the group. causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the good conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction holder. in part, when we talk about cutting offs severely cutting off food medicine and a fuel that seems to meet those conditions. so again, we don't have to compare another kind 1st. mister dickson offered a very clear debunk debunking of our compass claim. so i mean, this is a legal issue, it takes a long time. but my 2 things, the definition you'll describe actually perfectly fits what happened does the budget is at the hands of, i mean is the complete, the sectional our group and removing as

a budget is from the got about fidget what we offer. we offer from the very beginning to stay add to accommodate and to become a citizen. i'm going to good. you don't do that with the groups. you want to distort. you don't sit down, do you have the communications for 3 years to build for the supplies and the 1st extra projects and supplies she thinks to go to school is for the good which one of the so that's, that's, that's, that's completed. oh no. on the, the watching the boat, the we did not will do it, you know, to establish the, establish the boat, the check point everett is over and they shouldn't go to the boat to check. but we are very close with stokes. what if i have a boat on the boat of to get we have it both to check, but what they didn't want to do is to make sure that i did was able to, as it goes, somebody mean it was a by john on the. busy a check because what happens, i found a plan, you know? no, and i mean he is admitted to that thing got about that the land demise, which i suppose it's, i mean to sort of what they did and weapons were coming in to us by john. that's

what we wanted to prevent with the name of the event mid is out of and by the way, it was always open for the medical to as it by. i see, i see. and about 6, the people we were back in 1st one medical treatment. that's not genocide. this doesn't get much. we want to live in peace. was that mean? yes, we are neighbors in the same verbiage. and we have very much of like how old kinds of acquisitions. so i got googled help, well was think peace between as a budget and i mean that's what we need to focus on. we one that was that, so what are you sure i was waiting. so what are you waiting, 7 months to lift the blockade, despite a binding order from the international court of justice also does nothing to help matters that, that, that is actually misinterpretation of the order of icy j. d. o. uh, the here's, here's the, here's what the, i think they did say they made a ruling. the blockade quote, may have a serious detrimental impact on the health and live. i'm the going to kind of box

population they border as that bizarre and to quote, take all measures to take all measures, edits, disposal, to ensure unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles and cargo. along the legend border in both directions, there was not unimpeded. the vehicles and cargo for 7 months? no, no much would be because because later, i mean, yes. i mean, you're actually billed to the same quotes, demanding the removal of the boat, the post and the code refused to act on this. and the reason is because for think a boat, the post on the board to just do not state has any other nation, has it and able to install the initiative that, that putting a boat a check point is not. and then be think of a task, but it's actually a normal practice accepted by the whole. but we are no different from the rest of the vote. i mean is another only people have the patio de normally that's it. how do you account with a severe food medicine and fuel shortages? and that's a very good question because the dominos which goes into the budget has been full

with as a budget to actually offer the supplies to, i mean, using, got about. and i mean, yeah, the set by just initial reviews on, on the visual basis. no. think about this much, you would not accept a medical supplies flow and have genius. it was simply because of the concept people did with i missed the speaking of the show at indicated that's what it is. so what the, what, what is the content? the road opened i did was only opened off to the end of the position because i mean the operation, but just the clear because out of what the, what is to somehow think that this role was open and open on august 31st 8 months after the blockade began because we also, we also adults and as much earlier the refusal gave them that means that they even put a bit on a concrete blocks that now think about this in other way as well. uh, the moment the position ended, all the supplies went from mazda about, you have to,

you do not supply people was all the needs. the moment if you did a commenting something instead of both of them, we, by the way, we talk to our meetings and you can go to about, we've talked to them all along different meetings, on the delegations, and it shows your opinion. was there other protests active? so i, i think in their way, in away all of this negativity, which created the mode. and it is possible statements by people like a company has created the tool link is the position in among the population of ethnic. i'm using data, but unfortunately many of them left it's do we never urge them to live? glad the opposite of the state. we never, we never wanted them to live. we actually, i was there, but john is open. we have an integration photo asking them to com and it is just the come back. fair enough, mississippi, the amount of i want to thank you so much for your time and joining in upfront a my pleasure. thank you. the, it has been a turbulent summer for france in june. police shot dead

a 17 year old french boy. i'm a rock in and out during the center. now have him on his hook, inciting mass rides across the nation. a couple of months later, the french government announced that it would be placing a national battle wearing the eye by a, a full length robots in one, but most of the women in public schools causing fury among the muslim community. so is the slightest span of defense of secularism. is the government claims or will it lead to more racial and religious discrimination discuss these developments were joined by french journalist and filmmaker required the yellow. thank you so much for joining upfront. it's good to see you for inviting me. i'm really glad to. absolutely, let's. let's start with what's going on on the ground. frances education administer, gabrielle, i tell called, wearing the eye by a quote, a religious gesture aimed at testing the resistance of the republic toward the secular sanctuary. that school must be. this was a very controversial decision. can you tell us about their kind of reasons and the timing for this decision? so to me they're out and the official reason and an actual reason. so initially the

principle of security reason in france was meant to be a principle of equality. and over the like because it's being a principal or for a bishan targeting most things and to move has to do with a long history of colonial control of women's buddies. we can tie it back to the or calling it is a right now, jerry, whether it was and feeling ceremonies that's were organized by the wives of the colonial generals to invade publicly as human women to make them seem and actually look frontier. so actually one bailey literally taking their video of it off like they will, posters are seeing on to more beautiful without the video. and it was something that was going on in the late fifties. so the idea that you all center, if you look like the traditional french swimming is something that didn't really appear on the the summer. but you say that the origin of this is the spirit of the law. wasn't that,

of course it was to get rid of the influenza low spring in strength of the catholic church. it was to the lowest voted in 19 o 5. and it was meant to separate the states from the church and to have the states being useful and no to because magazine officially any religion. so a little was voted 20 years ago to bon subject science, religious public science in school. so the law says public um we did just verbally signed, but the debate was over the huge job. so the he job was bon 20 years ago and they now want to go further and further. and the thing is that you can tell apart and the buyer from address. so how would you enter that, what you're gonna buy it, and what's the address? so they would say, well, clearly the buy it is a visibly religious of us belief associated garment that when you see it, i buy a you know that that person is most them. but what we've seen in schools is that's many girls had dressy that they bought in h and then is that right? it's for an actual to buy us. but that was in that were interested you as a buyers and they were buying some school because of that. and the only reason why

it was seen as an avaya is because they were, we're thinking about right from a natural enough african original black. so is like, you can have both, like 2 went to girls having the same dresses, but one is white and the other is not. and one would be a scene as we're going to buy out and the other. so it's really enabling racial profiling. and that's what happened after the return to school, according to one pole by the french institute on public opinion. 81 percent of french people support the band. other polls show interestingly enough, that it's not just right wing support here. in fact, the majority of 2 of frances left wing party supporters, the greens and fronts, and so nice, also support this band in large numbers. now your base and france, of course, the mass support. where is it coming from? again, not just right wing support, but it's a lot. yeah. i basically like the largest part of the population. i think it's both the result of a it is and these levels will be present and that has been going on for 4 years for

the kids like the had been the bon off on the job and then the bottom of the beginning like the full length uh, swim suits, uh uh, in the, in this is and that has actually used the public opinion to just accept the fact that, um, mostly men does have a right to enjoy the public space. and it's to me important to remind the fact that during the last the business of the presidential election last year, the national valley, which is the far right apache, maybe to the 2nd round, is the state guns. political force in france after the presidential election during department to re election. the had a to 9 and peace elected international assembly, which is allowed we, we have never seen that in history. so the far right is being normalized and the government is running after a that's the, the, the, the, the, the, the votes of the people who believe in that, in those ideas. and to me,

the normalization office har arrive, has made the principal position more easier to accept a racist ideologies. many countries talk about color blindness. mm hm. uh. but france, literally, how defies this idea of, of color blind is by not even collecting data on race demographics. it's like, race just doesn't exist as i said. and how does that play out in everyday life? how does that impact minorities? how does that impact social services? how does that shape how we think or respond to what's going on? so i understand that the color blindness is a very beautiful idea if you prefer it isn't. and i understand why it's difficult in friends to collect data because of the holocaust. because like the last time the government collected, that's how it was meant to deport and exterminate thousands of a 1000 us like hundreds of thousands of people who would choose was sent to the caps because of the concentration camps. so i understand why we are still not

comfortable with the governor having and collect for today does. but the consequence of that is that the people from the national assembly have voted to remove the word race from the constitution is like because they say that it doesn't exist as in biology. what, what i get, but it does exist as a social contract construct. and it does have, as effect on all day to day life. so the consequence of that is that it's very difficult to speak about the race in france. i use so, and i'm constantly accuse of importing an american lens onto friends and as creating something that doesn't exist. so that's a 1st name to me, particular give it in places a is a social construct. me say it's not food in biology. that's an american. then it would be just as not real and in the united states, right. do they actually not see the value in thinking or looking for racial means at all? no, i would say that it's racist because we are the same. so i'm the one bringing up

a topic that is that doesn't belong to friends. and to me, it's a way of just not addressing a problem because france has been fine sense several times by the european court of human rights. it's been on the subject, the topic of free posts from miss international from human rights, which because of racial per, provide a parties for fighting and racial pities. besides you that there was no response. there was no official response from the franchise because not addressing ways being color blind is also a way to get away with braces on because you say it doesn't exist. so you don't do anything, even if they all just look to say all the people getting a press on people getting treated, coordinated schools, all the people getting shot by the police and basically all of this way. and that, that weighs coincidence. yes. and you speak about race in this course, he's ways to see when, you know, you the take whatever reason to learn about. yeah. it's obviously racist. but you say no, it's our tradition. it's like you're there isn't and it's not, you know, it's, that's for most names, it's anyone who would have a video to sign,

but it's happens that's only mostly have very visible video to sign. and actually, um, yes that's, that's the, that's the way of speaking about, about the race without really speaking about it is you pointed out many in france, look at the work of intellectuals like yourself. and they say, your importing american, or anglo saxon identity politics that don't actually exist in france present. my cronies even echoed this idea. in 2020 he won. the french intellectuals have yielded to quote, anglo saxon traditions based on a different history, a history that he claims is not ours. how do you respond to this? as i said, as of funds for i know who inspired uh, black americans was french and uh, that front is the only country to be present on 4 continents. so you have the, you are friends, part of friends, but you also have to tie been territories, guadalupe mechanics but also some parts indian gen ocean which is the region island and my yet also some fox and the french for the new job. 80. you kind of doing,

yeah, so that is the result of fast and truman colonial putting 6. and i thing that i try to, to, to, to quote a french examples and to be inspired by french intellectuals because those people, friends of one final, for example, are, is known in, nor did by different beaks. fear that if you go to friends and you have a place that would come in moray, they'll separate someone who fought against racism. you would find a transportation named after was a pox. you would find a pop named after him by the end of the king. you will never find someone french having a place ordering their work against racism. so that's also another way to say, yes, it's a problem that's that we care about, but it's an american program, so we will buy that on there. uh, you know, and that's and then data who has uh, started african oil martin, it's a king then, you know, sounds not new or in this is that even the image image is there as recently had

finally a metro station. but it's still very, very, it's taking a long time. okay, i do. hello. thanks so much for joining upfront. thank you so much. all right, everybody, that is our show upfront. we'll be back. next week, the the to the
