My short testimony on the Artsakh genocide for
@MorenoOcampo1
's latest report, which says that the blockade & aggression by Azerbaijan constitute genocide under the Convention & Rome Statute, crime against humanity of deportation under the Rome Statute.
Do you know why I personally demand to stop wars?
-Grew up without father killed in 1993;
-Lost my eyesight in 1995;
-See tragedies around me;
-See kids orphaned like me;
-Sure that noone benefits from human blood except for dictators;
-SURE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES
#PEACE
.
#BREAKING
!
#Azerbaijan
social media published a video showing how Az servicemen are humiliating & killing
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
war prisoners, one of them an elderly civilian.
We already have many proofs on such
#WarCrimes
, but Az MoD rejects.
Here is the proof on Az source.
#BREAKING
!
An
#Azerbaijan
|i subvversive group today killed 2 civilians at their home in
#Hadrut
town – the mother & her son with
#disability
.
I demand from the intl community to give proper reaction to the crimes agnst the
#Artsakh
ppl & to pursue punishing those criminals.
Do you know the difference between motivations of
#Armenia
|ns &
#Azerbaijan
|is in the war in general?
-Protect vs attack;
-Live vs kill;
-Love vs hate;
-Family protection vs burning houses;
-
#HumanRights
vs atrocities;
-Homeland vs territory.
#URGENT
!
Based on preliminary data,
#Azerbaijan
used banned white phosphorus munitions over
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
causing fires to forests next to civilian communities.
In addition to
#ecological
disaster they aim at burning the people hidden in the forests.
Do you know when I'm "glad" for my blindness on these days?
When I'm explained by my team the video-contents of
#Azerbaijan
cruel atrocities against
#Armenia
|n war prisoners & dead bodies. I can't imagine such predatory behavior by humans against humans.
Az hate level is awful.
#Breaking
!
My video message & introduction on the
#Azerbaijan
|i today's deliberate strike on the Republican medical center of
#Stepanakert
, including Maternity & child hospital.
Intl community bears responsibility for these
#WarCrimes
as doesn't stop them.
#DontBeBlind
To those diplomats &
#HumanRights
defenders who understand/share the current tragedies of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
people at least humanly:
-Why do your human feelings & professional actions are in contrast?
-Why aren't human rights & peace prioritized?
-Why don't you visit Artsakh?
My family is already back to home, as they had been displaced because of the
#Azerbaijan
-made dangers in
#Stepanakert
.
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
vital infrastructure (electricity, gas, communication) is being restored on these days to facilitate the return of displaced persons.
I’m already in Yerevan – fled from my ancestral & ancient homeland, Artsakh, just like my entire people.
Firstly, I came to Yerablur to give thanks & apologize to our fallen heroes. Next, I went to Ejmiatsin for prayer, & then to the refugee center to help my people.
Regardless of:
-the post-war situation in
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
,
-the continuous violations of our people's
#HumanRights
,,
-apathy/blindness of intl community,
-my deep frustration with the mentioned facts,
I'll continue
#Ombudsman
functions & efforts for Artsakh people rights.
Isn’t it a clear confession on committing
#WarCrimes
by
#Aliyev
, though he’s lieing in terms of the date?
“Our attacks there were only before 9th of October, we did not attack any CIVILIANS or cities in
#NagornoKarabakh
after that.”
A part of his interview to Fox News.
#Azerbaijan
social media published a new video showing 19
#Armenia
|n dead bodies, some of them handcuffed & others naked.
It’s apparent that at least 4 handcuffed soldiers were war prisoners before being killed.
IMPUNITY & INTL BLINDNESS BRING NEW CRIMES & TRAGEDIES TO
#KARABAKH
.
It's absurd how the
#Azerbaijan
leadership & propaganda staff started talking on opportunities for
#Armenia
|ns to live in Az, when on the same day they continue
#Armenophobia
policy, heroize
#WarCrimes
perpetrators, use banned methods, weapons & terrorists.
NO AM CAN LIVE THERE.
Look how
#Azerbaijan
armed forces burnt Aknaghbyur village in
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
.
It's their style of war as there are many proofs that wherever they enter, immediately burn the houses.
Az continues heavy
#WarCrimes
, intl community continues staying blind/incapable.
#DontBeBlind
Outsiders don't imagine the level of hate speech in
#Azerbaijan
against all
#Armenia
|ns, which has deep roots & has sharply increased recently.
Unprecedented
#Armenophobia
-based
#racism
is conducted & encouraged by the Govt, ignored by intl community, including
@ECRI_CoE
@UN
.
IMPORTANT!
We have some witnesses by
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
combatants that
#Azerbaijan
forces sometimes use
#Armenia
|n uniforms while attacking.
There are already many such dead bodies in fields.
AZ AIMS AT CONFUSING AM SOLDIERS & HIDING THE REAL IDENTITY/NUMBER OF ITS LOSSES.
Artsakh President’s decree on dissolving the Republic is illegal & illegitimate:
1. No President has the power to dissolve the Republic formed by the people with referendum;
2. That decree was signed as a result of Azerbaijani harsh aggression & threat of force.
It’s null & void.
IMPORTANT!
Over 90,000 (60% of the whole ppl) civilians of
#Artsakh
have fled their communities for Artsakh &
#Armenia
communities due to
#Azerbaijan
|i attacks & continuous threats.
Intl community must make efforts to stop the Az atrocities & help those ppl to return their homes.
Yesterday & today
#Azerbaijan
deliberately targeted the electricity, gas & water infrastructure of
#Stepanakert
&
#Shushi
, aiming at causing humanitarian deeper catastrophy for civilians.
The strikes made tangible destructions to those vital infrastructure.
#DontBeBlind
Over 40,000 people (33% of the entire population) from Stepanakert & Artsakh regions participated in today's rally for our future.
Our right to self-determination is not a topic of compromises.
We have the right to live independently & safely in our homeland.
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
thousands of citizens have been displaced for the second time as a result of
#Azerbaijan
aggression - in 90s & now.
While
#Talish
village inhabitants - for the third time.
Do they have
#HumanRights
, have homeland & deserve attention by intl community?
@Refugees
THE TRUTH OF THE INTL COMMUNITY FOR
#HUMANRIGHTS
:
All people are equal, but some people are more equal than others;
All people have rights, but some people have more rights than others.
While the world talks on rights,
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
ppl face grave violations by
#Azerbaijan
.
Today I submitted my resignation letter from
@ArtsakhOmbuds
position to
@Artsakh_Parl
.
My decision is due to the offer to hold a position at
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
Government, given the current challenges & needs in the crisis.
I'll continue my struggle for
#HumanRights
protection!
Any comment on this
#video
how
#Azerbaijan
forces are inhumanly treating 80YO Jonik Tevosyan in
#Shushi
?
I don’t know any single case that any
#Armenian
was treated humanly since Sep 27.
What other evidence does intl community need to react properly to
#Armenophobia
&
#WarCrimes
?
As a result of
#Azerbaijan
aggression & deliberate/indiscriminate targeting of civilian objects, over 100,000 civilians have been displaced from their homes, over 70% of the whole population of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
.
A part of them are in the republic, the other part- in
#Armenia
.
IMPORTANT!
As a result of
#Azerbaijan
aggression & deliberate
#WarCrimes
agnst civilians, over 50% of the whole population (75,000 children, women, elderly) have to leave their homes either internally or to
#Armenia
.
Intl community must react to this humanitarian disaster.
At the recent hour
#Azerbaijan
has shelled the civilian areas of
#Stepanakert
indiscriminately/deliberately.
There are large civilian destructions, no human casualties.
We recorded this case at the first phase of publication yesterday.
Our analysis shows that it is a real video from the recent clashes, where an
#Azerbaijan
|i soldier executes an Armenia|n heavily wounded soldier.
So, intl community keeps be blind, Az continues
#WarCrimes
.
Since the
#Azerbaijan
media is falsifying my statement in the latest fb live, note that I haven't resigned but just said that since intl community is blind/inable, seems it could be more helpful to stop my current
#HumanRights
mission & join homeland protection efforts.
Today we had our second daughter - Arpi, & the birthdate is symbolic for us - independence day of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
.
This is our family's response to the war consequences &
#Azerbaijan
claims.
We're planning our life & having new generations to keep Artsakh
#Armenian
forever.
Engagement of terrorist groups in the war with
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
by
#Azerbaijan
&
#Turkey
is common knowledge, as there are so many even public proofs.
Doesn't it mean that the intl community has responsibility to react & protect
#HumanRights
& prevent mass atrocities?
During the invasion to
#Hadrut
town on October 10 the
#Azerbaijan
subversive group killed at least 4 civilians, one of them was Misha Movsisyan w/
#disability
.
Look that they shot even to his open hand palm which supposedly was raised to show that he was unarmed at his home.
When foreigners accept the manipulations of
#Azerbaijan
leadership & media on Az displaced people since 1990s, shouldn't forget also over 500,000
#Armenia
|ns who were massacred & left everything in Azerbaijan.
The issue of displaced people should be solved equally & mutually.
Day by day new photos/videos on inhuman treatment to
#Armenia
|n combatants & civilians by
#Azerbaijan
armed forces appear in public area.
@ArtsakhOmbuds
prepared a non-public report on such cases (executions, beheadings, mutilations, tortures) & sent to relevant intl bodies.
#Azerbaijan
kept
#Stepanakert
&
#Shushi
under intensive fire.
Several houses were set on fire in Shushi & there are destructions in Stepanakert.
According to preliminary data of State Emergency Service, there are 3 killed civilians.
On the recent days
#Azerbaijan
has continued targeting civilian areas of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
causing human & material damages.
Based on our preliminary assessment overall more than 10,000 houses/apartments, 1,500 infrastructure/public institutions & 1,100 cars have been damaged.
#NiceAttack
is a cruel & gross crime which must be strongly punished.
My condolences to the
#French
people.
Hope the world understands the
#Artsakh
people situation under
#terrorism
threat by thousands of terrorists in
#Azerbaijan
|i army.
Terrorism must be eradicated forever.
Our latest update on the
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
civilian human & material losses made by
#Azerbaijan
in 160 communities:
-45 killed;
-141 wounded;
-13,100 houses/apartments;
-2,700 infrastructure;
-2,000 vehicles.
Az continues targeting civilian objects & ppl.
#DontBeBlind
What if your enemy strikes not simply civilian objects but also the Emergency Service, which is one of the top humanitarian institutions everywhere?
Ppl were doing their humanitarian service & striked by an
#Azerbaijan
accurate rocket.
Isn't it a war crime & crime agnst humanity?
In the recent hours
#Azerbaijan
started striking not only
#Stepanakert
, but also
#Martuni
,
#Shushi
& other towns/villages of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
.
In Stepanakert a house was burnt, there're other damages, too, we're checking.
So, the ceasefire isn't maintained by Azerbaijan, why???
#Breaking
!
#Azerbaijan
has heavily struck
#Stepanakert
for a few hours, tens of missiles have been already struck.
There are casualties/injured among civilians & destructions; the details are being checked.
Probably the most aggressive day in Stepanakert during this war.
#BREAKING
!
#Azerbaijan
today continued targeting civilian population shelling some settlements of Martakert, Martuni and Hadrut regions.
Electricity master Nver Grigoryan was killed in
#Martakert
town by Az indiscriminate shelling while doing his job duties.
Overall 32 deaths.
Based on our credible data & analysis,
#Azerbaijan
hides many
#Armenian
war prisoners from
@ICRC
& relatives.
There are lots of video proofs on inhuman treatment to them on ethnic basis.
All intl monitoring bodies must prevent tortures &
#WarCrimes
there.
@CoE_CPT
@UN_HRC
etc.
44
#Armenian
war prisoners & captured civilians have returned to
#Armenia
from
#Azerbaijan
as a result of exchange with
#Russian
mediation.
Other Armenians are still captured there, waiting for official confirmation & return.
Humanitarian issues must be solved fully,immediately.
#Azerbaijan
Pres
#Aliyev
stated that his "victorious" army took
#Hadrut
town of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
.
Seems either he's reported by generals wrongly, or he lies intentionally, or he changed his identity to Armenian, as Hadrut is under our full control.
IMPORTANT!
#Azerbaijan
clearly & illegally speculates the topic of
#Armenian
bodies & prisoners not providing enough info & artificially slowing down the processes of exchange/search.
Their aim is to make additional psychological traumas & tensions within the
#Armenia
|n society.
#BREAKING
!
#Azerbaijan
just second time struck the Ghazanchetsots church of
#Shushi
, there are 3 wounded journalists recording the previous strike effects.
It's an intentional & targetted strike to the church & journalists as they were watching by drone.
#DontBeBlind
#Azerbaijan
continues targeting humanitarian objects & personnel of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
committing new
#WarCrimes
.
They deliberately struck a fire engine, transporting drinking water from the town of
#Askeran
to civilians in neighboring communities. No casualties reported.
#Azerbaijan
deliberately targeted a fire engine, transporting drinking water from the town of
#Askeran
to civilians in neighboring communities. No casualties reported.
Once again Aze intentionally targets people with humanitarian functions.
#StopAzerbaijaniAgression
#Azerbaijan
armed forces continue inhuman treatment to
#Armenia
|n war prisoners.
Only today they published videos where 11 PoWs are saying "
#Karabakh
is Azerbaijan" & other Az propaganda words definitely under threats.
What is it if not
#IHL
violation to war prisoners?
Today launched a sit-in in front of the
@UNArmenia
with demands to make actions to stop Azerbaijani blockade & genocidal policy against Artsakh people.
Another demand to
@UN
Security Council permanent members to discuss the
#Artsakh
/
#NagornoKarabakh
issue & ensure intl protection
Thanks to
@JoeBiden
for telling truth on the
#ArmenianGenocide
.
Hope next steps are more practical for eradicating its consequences & preventing new crimes against
#Armenian
|s & other nations worldwide.
Justice for
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
should follow this value-based step.
#Russia
already provides direct humanitarian assistance to
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
& we are thankful for it.
What about do other countries think? Will they continue to ignore our
#HumanRights
& humanitarian needs due to our unrecognized status &
#Azerbaijan
blackmails?
Artsakh is almost fully empty with at most a few hundred people remaining, who are also leaving.
Are intl observers going to check how the rights & security of the animals are protected by the Aliyev genocidal regime?
With strong intl guarantees people will return to their homes.
#Azerbaijan
forces started cynically destroying
#Armenian
graves in
#Karvajar
once they entered the region yesterday.
This is a widespread
#WarCrime
among Az soldiers encouraged by their state & society.
Nobody & nothing
#Armenia
|n meets respectful treatment by Azerbaijanis.
When
#Aliyev
&
#Erdogan
had some anti-
#Armenian
hate & fascist speeches at the military parade in
#Azerbaijan
, it means again they strongly continue
#Armenophobia
policy.
Does anyone still believe in their false readiness for tolerance, dialogue & peaceful coexistance?
What a humanitarian ceasefire.
#Azerbaijan
over 2 hours ago struck Avetaranots village of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
with a missile & killed a civilian & wounded at least 2 civilians.
Violating the ceasefire,
#Azerbaijan
is striking the civilian settlements of
#Artsakh
. As a result of a missile strike on the Avetaranots village of Askeran region a civilian, Gevorg Hambardzumyan, was killed; two civilians, Henrikh Adamyan and Andrey Hambardzumyan, were wounded.
MUST READ
@HRW
report:
“
#Azerbaijan
has repeatedly used widely banned cluster munitions in residential areas in Nagorno-
#Karabakh
,”
They didn’t find any military objects nearby, Az didn’t grant access to HRW to conduct investigations there.
#HumanRights
Tens of thousands of Artsakh people just had a huge rally in parallel with the Parliament session.
We expressed our will & determination to protect our own rights in our own homeland.
Artsakh has never been & will never be a part of
Azerbaijan!!!
WE CONTINUE OUR STRUGGLE!!!
Over 40,000 citizens of
#Artsakh
/
#Karabakh
have been & to be homeless/IDPs as a result of occupation & handover of Artsakh communities to
#Azerbaijan
.
It’s 27% of the entire population, & the overwhelming majority of them didn’t have a chance to take anything out of their homes.
