@mrubin1971#Armenia’s military procurement drive is estimated at roughly $2.5 billion- unprecedented for a country of its size and economy. Yet somehow #Azerbaijan is still portrayed as the only militarized actor in the region.
You talking about militarization? Well, Armenia has signed over $1.5 billion in defense contracts with India alone, including Akash missile systems, Pinaka rocket launchers, ATAGS artillery, anti-drone systems, and reportedly new fighter jets. That is not defensive symbolism — that is rapid militarization.
@mrubin1971 The greatest irony of Section 907 is this: #Azerbaijan was sanctioned while #Armenian forces occupied internationally recognized Azerbaijani territory with tanks, artillery, ballistic missiles, and foreign military backing. History will not remember that policy kindly.
Spare us the fairy tale about “democracy promotion.” While Congress was punishing #Azerbaijan with Section 907, #Armenia was openly building an occupation army, holding military parades on occupied Azerbaijani land, and ethnically cleansing hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from their homes
@dcexaminer The claim that #Azerbaijan sought to “ethnically cleanse” #Karabakh in 1992 conveniently ignores the massacre of Azerbaijanis in #Khojaly, the expulsion of over 1 mln Azerbaijanis from occupied territories, and the destruction of entire cities under Armenian occupation
Calling Nagorno-Karabakh an “autonomous Armenian region” without mentioning that it was internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan (inc by the U.S., UN, EU, and even Armenia itself) is not history. It’s propaganda wrapped in selective memory @dcexaminer do you even fact check?
Sec907 was never about “democracy.” It was the result of one of the most aggressive lobbying campaigns in DC’s history. Armenia occupied 20% of Azerbaijan for 30 years, ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis, and ignored 4 UN Security Council resolutions #Azerbaijan #Karabakh
@talshalev1@CNN@TimListerCNN@Grok: “The claims lack public confirmation from Israel or independent evidence; other outlets are covering the CNN story without new verification, leaving the allegations contested and unproven.“
•CNN’s article claims Israel secretly deployed elite troops and intelligence units to southern Azerbaijan during the February-March 2026 Israel-Iran war for operations near the Iranian border, citing four anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
•Azerbaijan has formally denied the allegations as “entirely baseless” and “fabricated,” stating its territory was never used for military or intelligence actions against third countries and had communicated this position to CNN prior to publication.
•The report relies solely on unnamed sources without presented evidence such as documents or imagery; Israel has not commented, and no independent outlets have corroborated the specific deployment details.
@cnnarabic أكدت أذربيجان أن CNN تجاهلت الرد الرسمي لباكو واعتمدت على مصادر مجهولة وغير موثقة بدلًا من الصحافة ال��ائمة على الأدلة. #CNN #أخلاقيات_الإعلام #أذربيجان
@cnnarabic Azerbaijan rejected CNN’s allegations claiming Azerbaijani territory was used for operations against Iran. Official Baku states such accusations are “entirely baseless” and contradict facts already formally communicated to CNN before publication. #Azerbaijan#CNN#SouthCaucasus
@cnnarabic رفضت أذربيجان بشكل قاطع مزاعم CNN التي ادعت استخدام الأراضي الأذربيجانية في عمليات ضد إيران. وأكدت باكو الرسمية أن هذه الادعاءات «لا أساس لها إطلاقًا» وتتناقض مع الحقائق التي تم إبلاغ CNN بها رسميًا قبل النشر. #أذربيجان#CNN#جنوب_القوقاز
