BREAKING: The armed forces of Azerbaijan violated the line of contact established by the Tripartite Statement in the Shushi-Lisagor sector on March 25, gaining ground in the territory of the Artsakh Republic.
The Artsakh Republic authorities promptly informed the Russian peacekeeping forces' command staff and expected them to take practical measures to prevent further violations. Azerbaijan's claim that the Stepanakert-Ghaibalishen-Lisagor mountainous road was being used to transport ammunition is false and was a pretext for their aggressive actions.
The Defense Army of Artsakh is intended solely for self-defence, and their existence poses no threat to anyone.
The Azerbaijani violation of the Tripartite Statement is a grave concern and should be addressed immediately to ensure the safety and security of the region.
In March of 1920, Azerbaijan carried out massacres against the #Armenian population in #Artsakh/ #NagornoKarabakh, killing and deporting about 40,000 Armenians in Shushi alone.
Unfortunately, 100 years later, Azerbaijan has adopted the same policy, as they carry out their state-sponsored siege and escalating rhetoric and aggreession to rid #Artsakh of its indigenous #Armenians. Our collective goal should be peace, not renewed policies of ethnic cleansing and forceful deportation against indigenous Armenians.
The #Russia'n soldier died.
#Armenia'n doctors fought all night for the life of a Russian soldier who was seriously wounded in the head by the Azeri Armed Forces, but they failed to save him.
Russia and the Russian segment are still silent about what happened.
#Artsakh
The people of #Artsakh are under threat of genocide. Together, with a legal team led by @TaronSimonyan, we have developed and provied a report to the Artsakh MFA @mfankr, based on legal and UN frameworks, to submit to the Special Adviser of the UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide.
Azerbaijan is currently preparing for war against Armenia and Artsakh. All the signs are there — troop movements, ceasefire violations, misleading statements from Azeri officials, and their propaganda machine firing on all cylinders.
An eco-village with 300 mini-farms and guest houses, a ski resort with ropeways and a water reservoir with a capacity of 3 million cubic meters will be built on the slope of Mount Aragats in #Armenia.
The total cost of this project is estimated at $190 million.
For two months, our families in #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh have been living under blockade & growing uncertainty across all facets of life. Facing a humanitarian crisis, living conditions have become increasingly difficult & made worse by underlying energy and economic crises.
Dear #Azerbaijanis , Do you realize that while most of you live in slums & poverty, #Aliyev & family live like royalty? They have over 900 million pounds worth of real estate holdings in #UK alone. Have you read the #PandoraPapers ? You’ve been duped to hate #Armenians as distraction. Aliyev uses your oil & gas as his personal ATM. Meanwhile your nation fast gains a reputation as a #terrorist State. How is this life working for you? Are you content? Do you feel like being in a Democracy? What happens when your fossil fuel runs out? Let’s Get Honest…
The rate of repatriation to #Armenia has increased. More than 25,000 people applied for citizenship in 2022 returned, and permanently settled. (The indicator is the largest since 1991)
In 2022, the permanent population of Armenia increased by 15,400, making 2,976,800 people.
Artsakh is being choked. 60+ days in a blockade with a lack of food, medicine, heat, and electricity as the world watches on. The fate of 120,000 people hangs in the balance as Azerbaijan tries to ethnically cleanse us.
In this trophy video posted by Azerbaijani forces (funded by US taxes) they use rifles to execute unarmed #Armenian POWS.
Now #Azerbaijan wants an export license to buy US rifles.

Insight from 1 of 30 foreign "tourists" visiting the Azerbaijani gov’s Lachin blockade, which AZ calls an “eco-protest.”
