🚨🚨🚨
It’s time to highlight Aliyev lies of possible "coexistence with Armenians " during Azerbaijani "War of Annihilation" in #NagornoKarabakh with facts & findings from #CoE .
There is no doubt that the final aim is massacre and ethnic cleansing of Armenians.

Was asked to go to Azerbaijan for a lecture . I declined (they yuugely upped their offer, not understanding my ethics, thinking it would make a difference).

I will not set foot in Azerbaijan with Reuben Vardanyan jailed there.

@elonmusk @grok Hey @grok using Lemkin’s definition of genocide, summarize whether Azerbaijan’s 2023 actions against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh qualify as genocide, focusing on factually true but politically contentious points.

Today in court, as @SZ Süddeutsche Zeitung reports: In the Azerbaijan corruption trial, ex-CSU member of #Bundestag Eduard Lintner admitted forwarding Azerbaijani payments to a CDU lawmaker. He defended it before the Munich Higher Regional Court as what he saw as normal lobbying: “I considered it the kind of lobbying that is still practically ubiquitous today,” he said. #AzeriCorruption https://t.co/fIL7qMvnCM

Azerbaijan continues to erase Armenian towns and villages in Nagorno-Karabakh

New footage shows the complete destruction of the #Armenia|n village of Sargsashen in #NagornoKarabakh. Satellite images from 2018–2020 and 2021–2025 reveal a stark transformation by 2025, almost no houses remain.

Please see this important update on my client @RubenVardanyan_’s situation. One week later, his blood pressure is up to 140/11 and he has lost six kgs (13 lbs) & the #Azerbaijan military court refused five motions to postpone the trial and insisted Ruben attend, despite his being on the verge of passing out. #HumanRights

[Steve Swerdlow @steveswerdlow]

Thank you @NeilPHauer for including my comments on @freedomhouse's seminal report demonstrating that Azerbaijan is guilty of 'ethnic cleansing' during 2023 attacks on Nagorno-Karabakh-many parallels with former Yugoslavia & Myanmar.

[Agnès Pannier-Runacher 🇫🇷🇪🇺 @AgnesRunacher]

Les propos tenus contre la France et l’Europe par le président Aliev à l’occasion de l’ouverture de la COP29 sont inacceptables.

Les attaques directes contre notre pays, ses institutions et ses territoires, sont injustifiables.

L’Azerbaïdjan instrumentalise la lutte contre le dérèglement climatique pour un agenda personnel indigne. Ces attaques constituent une violation flagrante du code de conduite de la CCNUCC. Elles ne resteront pas sans réponse.

Après échange et en accord avec le président de la République et le Premier ministre, je ne me rendrai pas à Bakou la semaine prochaine.

Les équipes de négociations françaises ne ménageront pas leurs efforts, avec mon appui à distance et en lien avec nos partenaires européens, pour protéger la planète et nos populations.

Nous continuerons à plaider pour le plus haut niveau d’ambition dans la mise en œuvre de l’Accord de Paris, dont nous sommes les gardiens, 10 ans après son obtention.

How could the international community have sunk so low? Awarding COP 29 to Azerbaijan, a petro-dictatorship that tramples on every value the COP claims to defend, is an affront to common sense and human dignity.

Let's remember who the host is: a country that orchestrated brutal ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023, that indoctrinates its youth to hate Armenians, and that still holds Armenian prisoners of war in defiance of international conventions.

Azerbaijan is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, a practitioner of the famous "caviar diplomacy", where truth is exchanged for privilege. A country that is wiping out the Christian churches of the world's first Christian country, that has used jihadists as mercenaries and that practices toxic anti-French and anti-European propaganda as far afield as New Caledonia.

War crimes, torture, unbridled propaganda... And this is where the planet chooses to discuss climate justice and peace?

Such a decision is not only absurd, it is highly immoral.
How many more masks will have to come off before we stop offering podiums to oppressors?
