Archaeology and genetics show a continuous Armenian presence in Artsakh from the Bronze Age onward.
The Amaras monastery was built in 330 AD, a good 1,500+ years before the state of Azerbaijan came into existence.
So how does one occupy a land they’ve lived in for centuries?
Putting a kurdish flag on Armenia and calling it Kurdistan won't make it Kurdish. Kurds came to Armenia with Arabic and turkic invasions and have no more rights on these lands than the turks.
The fact that you can’t check into a hotel until 4pm when the day is basically over but have to check out by 10am the next morning should honestly be illegal.
Dès que vous aurez rendu l’Azerbaïdjan colonisé par les Turcs aux vrais autochtones, et que vous serez retourné en Asie centrale d’où vient votre peuple…
Volume of weapons supplies from #China to #Azerbaijan
1/ Two days ago Ilham Aliyev announced that Azerbaijan has already acquired certain military products from China, with some samples showcased, some deliveries currently en route, and negotiations ongoing ...
#Armenia
Many on Armenian social media report hours-long delays at the Georgia–Armenia border, alleging that the Georgian side is deliberately processing travelers slowly, while the Armenian side clears a similar number much faster. Some reports claim kids have even fainted while waiting.
Aliyev:
–no internal risks
–Turkey & Azerbaijan “closest countries in the world”
–ties with Russia “fully normalized”
–ties with Trump admin “excellent”
–“very satisfied” with European Commission
#Pashinyan and the #Armenia|n delegation led by him paid tribute to the memory of Ali #Khamenei.

There has been talk of recognizing the Armenian Genocide for decades in Israel, each time it was never clear why it hadn’t happened many years ago, but instead always got caught up in politics, as if there was a “right” time to do it due to bad or good relations with Ankara
I reported on these efforts years ago. One thing that I always wondered about is that in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem the local Armenians would put up maps of the genocide and people often ripped them down…if you want to recognize the genocide then that should also mean listening to and respecting the local Armenian community, it should mean incorporating this into education and not a kind of one-off declarative
Azerbaijani gov-run "NGO" Baku Initiative Group, which pushed the AZ state's Western Azerbaijan narrative to US Congress this week, posted about International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
Ironic, given AZ's systematic torture of Armenian POWs and political detainees.
This video was published by an Azerbaijani state agency. At an event promoting claims against Armenia, officials displayed footage from the streets of Yerevan as if it were part of their “homeland.” How much more openly can expansionism be promoted?
Despite U.S. mediation efforts, Ilham Aliyev keeps promoting an expansionist agenda against Armenia. Territorial expansionism is being presented as a new “national agenda.” We can pretend there is peace, but reality points to a dangerous neighbor with clear aggressive intentions.
🇮🇷🇦🇲The system that reportedly hit an F-35 just landed in Armenia.
The Majid AD-08, the system widely believed to have hit an American F-35 stealth fighter during the recent war, has been spotted in service with the Armenian Armed Forces for the first time.
CENTCOM confirmed the F-35 was damaged and made an emergency landing. The exact weapon used was never officially confirmed, but multiple sources pointed to the Majid.
Finding an F-35 is the hard part. Hitting it is the harder part. Armenia just got the system that reportedly managed both.
