9-year-old Areg and his grandmother are among the civilians killed by Azerbaijan’s agression on #NagornoKarabakh #Artsakh on Sept. 19, 2023. At least 6 children were killed by AZE, according to @Artak_Beglaryan.

The dangerous Azerbaijani criminal is vandalizing an Armenian man's private house in Nagorno-Karabakh. We must acknowledge that we are dealing with declassed savages who exhibit traits of both sociopaths and psychopaths.

BREAKING: Under intense Congressional, community & coalition pressure, @SecBlinken announces humanitarian aid to Armenia as part of Biden's $106 billion budget request.

ANCA demands robust funding commensurate with the acute needs of Armenians ethnically cleansed by Azerbaijan.

[Sossi Tatikyan @STatikyan]

Azerbaijan is trying to prove to international community that they want Armenians to return to Karabakh and are ready to ensure their normal life.
At the same time, they destroy all ARM symbols and put threatening AZ symbols at every step to assert their hegemony & militarism.

#Armenia is #1 in Human Freedom Index in the region with a score of 26 in Personal, Economic, and Human freedom.

❗️64 more civilian deaths by Azerbaijan. They died of starvation, lack of water, no medical care. Thousands of Armenians were deprived of their daily meds for months. This is in addition to 500+ killed by shelling/fuel depot explosion, not counting thousands killed due to genocidal #ArtsakhBlockade, started on Dec. 2022.

Thank you @VivekGRamaswamy for speaking the truth !!!

"Where is Azerbaijan, Armenia?

Why is that not part of the conversation?

Just because the media has decided that that isn't what we are going to pay attention to because it is not what the cool kids are talking about, likely because it's Christians at stake, let's be honest about that."

[Tigran Mkrtchyan @TMkrtchyan]

Amazing how @VivekGRamaswamy is exposing the hypocrisy& double standards of international media &application of universal principles in different situations. International indifference to the #NagornoKarabakh ethnic cleansing& #Azwrbaijan's genocidal policies has been shocking.

1) Yesterday, the mob in #Dagestan #Makhachkala looking for Jews reminded me of this⬇️. 3y ago, during the pandemic curfew in #France, the #Turkish #Azeri mob was hunting for Armenians in Lyon area yelling “Where are you, Armenians, we are here, at your homes, accompanied by fascist Gray Wolves signs, curses…#Armenophobia More videos below.

[Ararat Petrosyan @araratpetrosian]

Azerbaijani servicemen are displaying utterly senseless aggression, and the victims of these barbarians often include Armenian musical instruments and other objects of higher culture with which they likely have had little interaction.

Maro, 86, arrived in Stepanakert in the evening of September 19 from Zaglik, a village in the Nagorny Karabakh region. “I have lived through many wars, many hurdles, but this time it was the hardest. I witnessed the despair of my children and grandchildren”.

A woman, whom I sometimes greeted on the streets of Stepanakert, shouted my name and we hugged at the subway entrance in silence for a few moments.
Meeting every Artsakhis on the streets of Yerevan, bring both warmth and pain even those with whom we have never exchanged a word

Every crime I see in this 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 conflict regardless of which side is committing it, Azerbaijan’s Aliyev did it to the Armenians of #NagornoKarabakh. Except nobody cared about the Armenians. #Precedent

The likelihood of Azerbaijan launching a war against Armenia is high. What should the USA and the EU do? The USA and the EU remain committed to advancing the process of establishing a lasting peace between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan based on mutual recognition of each other's sovereignty, border inviolability, and territorial integrity.

This information is mentioned in the joint statement about the #USA-#EU summit. US President Joe Biden received the leaders of the European Union, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, at the White House on Friday.

The US and the EU have called on Azerbaijan to ensure the rights and safety of people who remain in #NagornoKarabakh or who wish to return to their homes. All parties were called upon to refrain from using force or threats of force.

The joint statement of the two power centers of the West on their commitment to advance the Armenia-Azerbaijan settlement process is important, especially since Azerbaijan and #Russia have been trying to exclude the West from the process in recent weeks.

Seven days ago, #Putin announced in Bishkek, within the framework of the meeting of the #CIS leaders, that Moscow is ready to help Armenia and Azerbaijan in concluding a peace agreement and proposed to hold the negotiations in #Moscow. The head of the Kremlin spoke about this in Bishkek, during the meeting of the Council of Heads of CIS Member States.

"Negotiations can take place in any format. For a start, if necessary, the negotiations can be held in the format of the foreign ministers and experts of Azerbaijan and Armenia. And of course, we will help those #negotiations to end with a peace agreement, which will be signed by the leaders of those countries. Moscow is ready to create the necessary conditions" Putin emphasized.

In addition to Vladimir Putin, at the same time, Ilham #Aliyev also expressed his wish that the #Armenian-#Azerbaijani agreement be signed under the auspices of Moscow. At the meeting with the heads of security services of the CIS countries, Aliyev announced that Moscow is the best mediator in the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations.

He harshly criticized the "Western sponsors of Armenia" and stated that there is no alternative to Russia's mediation mission. "We gratefully accept Russia's mediation, because Russia is our neighbor and ally, as well as Armenia's ally. This country is located in our region, unlike those located thousands of kilometers away" Ilham Aliyev emphasized.

However, the situation up to now indicates that the leadership of Armenia is in no hurry to accept Aliyev's and Putin's invitation to negotiate in Moscow.

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan didn't go to Bishkek, and the trilateral meeting of #Lavrov-#Bayramov-#Mirzoyan did not take place. The Prime Minister of Armenia refused to participate in the meeting of the Council of Heads of CIS Member States.

Russia and Azerbaijan are trying to exclude the #UnitedStates and the #EuropeanUnion from the Armenian-Azerbaijani process. However, the US and the EU have once again assured that they will not only stay in the process, but also directly call on Azerbaijan to ensure the rights and safety of people who remain in Nagorno #Karabakh or who wish to return to their homes, as well as to refrain from using force or threats of force.

However, Azerbaijan and Russia are dictatorial regimes professing strict authoritarianism. There's a big risk that Russia, through Azerbaijan, will carry out new military attacks against Armenia to capture the "3 enclaves or 8 villages," as well as the desired "Zangezur Corridor" of Azerbaijan and Russia.

Azerbaijan has no legal grounds to prove the existence of Azerbaijani enclaves on the territory of Armenia. For this reason, Azerbaijan may prefer to occupy the "8 villages" by military force, because it will not be able to justify the talk of "8 villages" during the border demarcation commission.

Azerbaijan doesn't have a decision issued by the #USSR state with any legal basis, which would testify to the existence of enclaves. Experts controlled by Azerbaijan have started to say that they will no longer talk about enclaves, but that Armenia has occupied the territories of Azerbaijan.

Since they don't have the grounds to prove the existence of enclaves in the territory of Armenia, they will not emphasize the enclaves, but will talk about the occupation of 8 villages in order to get rid of the burden of proving the grounds for the existence of the enclaves.

And since European specialists should also participate in the delimitation, there is a possibility that they may consider Azerbaijan's claim about enclaves as unacceptable. Even if Azerbaijan finds justifications, it will not want on the principles of reciprocity to return to Armenia the Artsvashen/Bashkyend enclave, the lands seized from the four villages of Tavush, as well as the territories seized in 2021/2022․

Here, the danger of Azerbaijan's #military attack becomes real, in order to occupy the "8 villages" and not to return the occupied Armenian territories to Armenia. So, the call to Azerbaijan by the US and the EU not to use force is appropriate, but it is not enough to prevent Azerbaijan from occupying new territories.

There's an easy solution to the problem of enclaves: to leave the situation as it's now, that's, to exchange the enclaves. However, the problem is bigger than the process of exchange of enclaves.

Russia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey intend to solve all these issues in their trioka format. This means that the risk of putting pressure on Armenia through #military attacks will increase.

In order for Armenia to refuse to insist on conducting the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations in the formats of the US or the EU, there's a risk that Azerbaijan against Armenia will carry out military attacks under the auspices of Russia.

In other words, the Russians and Azerbaijanis can occupy territories from Armenia: the "8 villages," the "Zangezur Corridor," and confront Armenia with a fait accompli, after which the Armenian side will be forced to go to the Russian-Turkish-Azerbaijani negotiation format.

In order for the US and the EU to be convinced that military-#political blackmail will not be used against Armenia and #Yerevan will not be forced to go to Moscow to negotiate, it is necessary to increase the level of security and defense capabilities of Armenia.

The restoration of the balance of power, or at least the approach of the ratio, will force Azerbaijan, which enjoys the support of #Turkey and Russia, to abandon the goal of attacking Armenia, and go to Western formats to participate in constructive negotiations.

Unfortunately, the history of the absorption of Nagorno Karabakh by Azerbaijan proved that the President of Azerbaijan can break the promise and solve the problem by military force. The other day, Aliyev was proud that he conquered Nagorno Karabakh by #war.

Nothing prevents Aliyev from starting a war against Armenia now. For the obvious reason that I do not consider the scenario where Aliyev agrees to negotiate in #Western formats․ There are few risks there, and it is pointless to talk about them at this moment. It is more likely that Azerbaijan and Russia will boycott the Western formats, which is a problem that needs to be solved.

Sometimes, it seems to me that Western diplomats and heads of states do not know Ilham Aliyev's dictatorial character very well. I hope, the problem of the West is only there.

@Selcuk The same @Selcuk thinks it is ok to do exactly the same to Armenians of #NagornoKarabakh⬇️.

Remember doing this? Cities, hospitals, churches bombed by 🇹🇷 Turkish #Bayraktar and 🇮🇱 Israeli drones.
