Entire Armenian Facebook is full of Armenians from Karabakh searching their lost relatives. Hundreds of people have no news from family members since yesterday. This is not even about lost soldiers but mostly children and elderly.

1. Nobody knows anything. We don't know if we have any power at all. There is no electricity, most of the gadgets are dead, we learn
Number or villages in Karabakh are holding mayoral elections today. Elections in Karabakh have long been free, fair and transparent, even more than ones in Armenia before the revolution. Azerbaijan, ruled 30 years by the same family, doesn't even give such right to its citizens.
Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan is saying that they bombed civilians of
#NagornoKarabakh
only for some 2 weeks, no more. That's ok then. Thanks Ilham.
And of course, after that Armenia kept bombing the Armenian population in Stepanakert, Hadrut, Martuni,Martakert etc

who were born in bunkers when

Another note to those who justify the war based on 🇦🇿's right to claim it's territorial integrity ONLY. The conflict includes two more int. norms, agreed by both sides in tens of documemts - self-determination and no use of force. 🇦🇿 maximalism is self-destructive of its claims
People in Karabakh are looking for their lost relatives.
No news for 2 days.
No way to find out whereabouts.
Number of villages in siege.
People are searching family members in Karabakh.
International immediate presence needed.
Anything may be happening now in Karabakh
Yes Farid, Azerbaijan's aggression, illegitimate & illegal demands from Armenia & the aims of ethnic cleansing are so ridiculously criminal that even, paradoxically, the US & Iran adopt the same stance against your boss's sadistic fantasies.
Need to try real hard to achieve that

’s full scale aggression against Karabakh feel free to reach out to me.
🆘🆘🆘
Azerbaijan has cut phone connections in entire Karabakh.
My students from Stepanakert can not get any info from their families there.
Azerbaijan is attacking along the entire border and targeting all major cities.
Don't get me wrong for making it "about myself", but such a scene in
#Karabakh
would let the guy beheaded or skinned by
#Azerbaijan
|s army.
To be clear dozens of civilians (elderly over 80 yo) were beheaded and skinned even without coming close to such acts.
But who cares.
Peace deal is an illusion.
The sooner intl mediators understand it the sooner the next calamity can be prevented, if at all
Recently I asked an EU official working with the conflict what the EU will do when Az attacks Karabakh. There was a minute long silence in the room
‼️‼️"Azerbaijan plans Operation Revenge–3 in Karabakh," declares Azerbaijani state TV. Aliyev's threatening speeches leave no doubt about their intention for an attack. Immediate action from international partners is imperative to prevent further aggression!
For 3 days, ppl in Azerbaijan protests against an artificial reservoir for waste drainage from a gold mine owned by Mehriban Aliyeva. Interestingly, the protesters blame their own government for being "Armenian." This is a result of Aliyev's long-standing anti-Armenian rhetoric.
Aliyev claims to have taken Hadrut, while Armenian journalists report at that very moment from Hadrut. As ceasefire talks begin I draw conclusions from what seems the end of 2nd round of this recent war and what comes next. THREAD

Armenians from Stepanakert are report that right now the Azeris are shooting.
Azeris soldiers are in the city and around.
They have installed checkpoints on the roads going in and out of the capital.

For over 200 days Ilham Aliyev’s dictatorial regime has been starving the Armenian population - pardon me - integrating them into Azerbaijani society with respect to their rights and security.
State funded Baku Book Centre of
#Azerbaijan
provides such books to children indoctrinating them from early years to claim ownership over

's capital Yerevan.
For generations to come, dictator Ilham
#Aliyev
made sure that the existence of Armenia should not be tolerated.
In

just in course of yesterday
🔴40-yo man died from starvation
🔴unborn child died because ambulance couldn’t arrive due to lack of fuel
🔴pregnant woman died
All consequences of

’s criminal blockade of the
#LachinCorridor
All could’ve been prevented
In last one hour Armenian (not Nagorno-Karabakh) air defense systems shot down 3 Azerbaijani drones in in Armenia's Gegharkunik region bordering Karabakh.
Reports that the
#Armenia

#Karabakh
, but Armenia proper) shot down 2
#Azerbaijan

I hope everyone will cut the "both sides" "provocationS" BS now.
Now imagine Lukashenka flying drones over one of its neighbors' borders
Over 90% of pregnant women in
#Karabakh
have anemia due to the humanitarian man-made disaster caused by the blockade of
#Lachin
corridor imposed by Azerbaijan.
They can’t get treatment either.
No medicine left.
No patients allowed to be transferred by the Red Cross.
If we believe reports of both Armenia and Azerbaijan, then some Azerbaijani forces are in Zengilan in the south and some Azerbaijani forces have retreated from the Khoda Afarin (marked in red). This means the forces in in Zengilan are pocketed and cut from communication. Costly.

HUMANITARIAN/MEDICAL AIRLIFT DESPERATELY NEEDED IN
#KARABAKH
another tragedy is unfolding.many dead & extremely many injured. doctors in Stepenakert hospital beg for help
road out of Karabakh is blocked due to thousands of cars taking the refugees, evacuation impossible
Trigger warning ⚠️
Over 100 tons of petrol have exploded in Nagorno Karabakh. There is an urgent need for intl humanitarian orgs to be present & support Armenians in NK. The ICRC needs to assist those injured and transport them to Armenia via helicopters.
As Azerbaijan reverts to type and attacks Armenian positions in Nagorno-Karabakh, here is a an army uniform patch making rounds on Azeri socials. An image of notorious Ottoman genocidaire Enver Pasha with the inscription "Armenian, don't run! You'll die anyway, just exhausted."
What an absolute joke of EU and its hypocrisy.
Basically, you can commit ethnic cleansing, forcefully displace 120.000, have one of the worst human rights records in the world, have territorial demands from Armenia & yet be EU’s partner as long as you sell gas and are not Putin
I guess this is how Azerbaijan's love to Shushi is expressed. The city has been shelled again by Smerch minutes ago. As well as the capital Stepanakert. Absolutely disgraceful.
#NagornoKarabakh

3. Stepanakert resembles a big beehive. There are a large number of refugees from rural areas, I don’t know where they sleep, but it feels like poor people live right on the streets. Nobody deals with…

This is a perfect storm for Azerbaijan to start its own special military operation in Karabakh - in the making in recent weeks.
Same time, Azerbaijan has been significantly increasing the tensions on the borders with Armenia. Yesterday again Aliyev threatened with another war.

Armenian political thought locked in the dictatorship of duality. Whatever you say, you are either:
pro-Nikol or anti-Nikol
pro-Russian or pro-Western

14:30 in Martuni, Azerbaijan continues artillery shelling of the city, two and a half hours after ceasefire announcement.
In 2020 war, we saw 3 such ceasefires brokered at the highest level by US, France and Russia violated by Azerbaijan.
Hell continues.
Head of Maternity/child healthcare center:
"in the last month the rate of reproductive losses have increased almost 3 times.
We registered an increase in perinatal mortality rates.
All this is caused by both stressful situation and lack of balanced diet."

We took inauguration in Shusha as an insult. We didn't bomb there then, despite many asked me to do it. Now he [Arayik Harutyunyan] should look at that building where he took oath.
Just fucking unbelievable.
My reaction goes not to public attitudes (30 years of systemic racism if the poll is true at all)
But to the fact this is the state tv that does nothing but orders from the presidential administration. Clear indication of planned aggression.
Azerbaijani state Az Tv channel goes beyond imagination in its aggressive propaganda by asking people to vote if they want Azerbaijan attack Artsakh again. As you see 83% vote for the aggression...This is how Azerbaijan prepares people to "peace" with Armenians.
What does the cheered integration of Armenian in Azerbaijan mean?
-forced military service in Az army and in future wars against Armenia
-not even cultural autonomy
-forced Az language education
-Azeri prosecutors, police & courts
-no elections
-no support from Armenia
In an extremely volatile situation Azerbaijani servicemen block the highway connecting Iran&Armenia's southern regions to the country
The road is also overseen by Rus borderguards.Considering the growing🇷🇺-🇦🇿 tensions the incident is a direct challenge & test to Russia's limits
A resident of Stepanakert, K. H. died due to malnutrition resulting from the total blockade of Azerbaijan.
