Greenwashing and Religious Cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh

Save Armenia: A Judeo-Christian Alliance is organizing a compelling webinar to expose Azerbaijan’s use of greenwashing to obscure its ethnic and religious cleansing of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. The webinar will explore how environmental rhetoric is being leveraged to justify mass displacement, cultural and religious destruction, and human rights violations while highlighting how Azerbaijan is using the opportunity to mask its atrocities in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh). 

The webinar will include an overview of the geopolitical conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, focusing on the recent exodus of Armenians from the region. Experts will unpack how Azerbaijan is using the language of environmentalism—such as reforestation, renewable energy, and “eco-friendly” development—to mask the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage, the erasure of religious sites, and the displacement of indigenous populations. The webinar will also cover the international response to Azerbaijan’s greenwashing. Speakers will discuss how the international community’s focus on climate and energy collaborations with Azerbaijan risks overlooking the ongoing human rights abuses in Nagorno-Karabakh.
