Armenia needs a firm guarantor, not a moderator, for peace treaty negotiations & the conclusion of a future long lasting peace treaty with Azerbaijan. Otherwise, it is impossible to come to consent with someone who holds a gun to your head & does not respect any agreements.
Rivers of cars are flowing to Armenia with refugees forced out of Nagorno Karabakh, from their ancestral land, their homes, communities, villages and cities, because no one guaranteed their rights and securities in Nagorno Karabakh. This is a classic case of ethnic cleansing
The trial of Vagif Khachatryan, abducted from Nagorno Karabakh, has started in Azerbaijan today. He, of course, has nothing to do with the crime, he is merely punished for being born in Nagorno Karabagh and for living on his ancestral land.
I want to make this very clear, in
They celebrate starvation of 120K people. Azerbaijani “environmental activists” backed by AZ government are greeting the military personnel with whom they keep the Lachin Corridor blocked for already 27 days, which is the only supply channel from the world to NK. Disgusting…
Today the representatives of diplomatic corps and international organizations accredited in Armenia visited the humanitarian convoy in the Kornidzor sector, where humanitarian convoy of lorries loaded with aid is stuck at the entrance to the Lachin Corridor since yesterday.
Mel Gibson is worried about the war in Nagorno-Karabakh and prays for the entire Armenian people and for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
@RTVi
exclusively publishes his opinion on the events in Artsakh.
International partners congratulating Azerbaijan's celebrations today, should try to figure out where are now Armenians living in Shushi, Hadrut, other villages․․․ They will just realize that they're actually congratulating Azerbaijan for ethnic cleansing, so, legitimizing it.
The Azerbaijani security officials have been recently sharing videos about the representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh who were kidnapped from Stepanakert and are illegally kept in Azerbaijani prisons. These are the former and current, elected or appointed representatives of the
Today, all Armenians have one task: to ruin the Erdogan & Aliyev’s plan to connect with Nakhichevan through Armenian sovereign territory. At the moment, this plan is not realized due to the actions of the Armenian army. It is the time to be united and defend our statehood.
Ilham Aliyev never tried to distance himself from war criminals. On the contrary, he always glorified such people, encouraged and awarded them with state honors and, consequently, took responsibility for those and following war crimes.
In an interview to
@dwnews
Deutsche Welle (DW), the assistant of the President of Azerbaijan claims that people are leaving Nagorno-Karabakh "in a free manner". I want to understand, is there anyone in the world who believes this yet another fake narrative of Azerbaijan?

It's been about 2 years since we are alarming about Azerbaijan's intention of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno Karabakh. Today Azerbaijan is installing an illegal checkpoint on the Lachin Corridor, which is a gross violation of the Trilateral Statement of November 9. This means that
Հայերը մոլորակի տարբեր կետերից գալիս են պատերազմին մասնակցելու. փոխանակ դրանից խոսենք՝ դա մի կողմ թողած՝ մի զինապարտի խուսափելուց ենք խոսում:
Չհուսահատվե’ք, ժողովուրդ ջան:
AZ took control over Saribaba in Aug but only in Nov claimed about new mines there. Why? Because in Sept they invaded Jermuk area, Armenia's sovereign territory, got access to mines, transferred to Saribaba to falsely accuse AM for using Lachin corridor to transfer ammunitions.

Azerbaijan claims Armenia used Lachin corridor to transfer landmines to their territory. This is a total lie. AZ took landmines from occupied Armenian territories, moved to AZ controlled territory in NK to show the int partners and create false grounds to dispute Lachin Corridor.
Я думаю, что террористы, прибывшие в Азербайджан из Сирии, при сотрудничестве с властями Азербайджана, осуществили взрывы в Гяндже, чтобы потом обвинить в этом армянскую сторону.
Это старый провокационный метод, но он больше не работает.
Мы не поддадимся на провокацию.
Azerbaijani media is full of "expert" discussions against the arrival of EU and OSCE observers to Armenia.
@presidentaz
If you haven't occupied Armenian lands and aren't planning a new aggression, then why are you so nervous about the expected international presence in Armenia?
The Azerbaijani dictator not only committed an international crime, but also closed social networks so that people in Azerbaijan would not be informed about their losses due to the provocation the dictator unleashed.
My husband, Ruben Vardanyan, the philanthropist, businessman, and former Minister of State of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) was arrested and detained by the Azerbaijani authorities at the border this morning as he tried to leave with thousands of Armenians.
Ruben has stood with the
For the past 10 days, Azerbaijan has barred the entry of humanitarian goods convoy to

, where 120,000 people, including 30,000 kids, are suffering from starvation.
It doesn't matter how "concerned", "worried" or otherwise "disturbed" the International Community
Azerbaijan that committed aggression, beheaded & shot civilians, killed & subjected thousands to ethnic cleansing, is now trying to cover up its own crimes by the fake propaganda on bombing of Barda. Daily false propaganda can't cover up Azerbaijani war crimes.
Yesterday's statement of Aliyev re the blockade of Lachin Corridor was a pure confession of ethnic cleansing implemented on the state level. He said that the road is open for those who don't want to be AZ citizens. They can leave by cars or by buses of Russian peacekeepers.
This humanitarian convoy is still here waiting to reach people of Nagorno Karabagh to meet their very basic needs and to stop hunger. But the Lachin Corridor, which is the road of life, is still blocked by Azerbaijan for months.
120,000 people, 2,000 of which are pregnant
Azerbaijan considers normal to chain people and present human degrading treatment and torture as a regular attitude towards prisoners of war. Aliyev joined the list of such dictators as Hitler and Saddam Hussein. This is true fascism.
We started the
@PACE_News
session by raising our voice of protest, demanding international pressure on Azerbaijan to release the Armenian prisoners of war ASAP.
I think that the terrorists who arrived in Azerbaijan from Syria, in cooperation with the Azerbaijani authorities, carried out the Ganja bombings in order to later blame the Armenian side for it.
This is an old provocative method, but it does not work any more...
Day 16, the road from Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia, the Lachin Corridor, remains blocked by Azerbaijan. The only supply route for 120k people of which 30k children. AZ promised rights and security guarantees to NK people, then blocked them and keps under siege. Isn't it weird?
Yesterday AZ confirmed they have committed two gross violations of international law:
1. The aggression towards the sovereign territory of Armenia in the September.
2. The blockade of the Lachin Corridor, clearly showing that only
@ICRC
vehicles have access to NK.
@SecBlinken
This so called "world-famous expert" according to Azeri propaganda, who blocked me to make sure I don’t see the marvels of his thoughts, claims that the people of Nagorno Karabakh are not refugees and, thus, validates the ethnic cleansing of Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh. I am
Since Azerbaijan is planning future aggression and occupation against Armenia's sovereign territory, Azeri AF are preventing our engineers from strengthening the borders of Armenia. This crime of continued aggression should definitely be condemned by the international community.
It's never enough for a bloodthirsty regime and its puppets to starve 120000 people of Nagorno Karabakh. Now their pseudo-eco-activist threatens to kill all Armenians and literally drink their blood. Are we truly in the 21st century? Is there a civilized world somewhere around?
Azerbaijan, which is accused in ethnic cleansing crime and engineering a Genocide in Nagorno Karabakh, is blaming children of Nagorno Karabakh for eating very tasty cookies on their birthdays.
This is a perfect indicator for understanding Azerbaijani policies towards the
Aliyev has repeatedly stated that they are ready to talk with NK Armenians, but with those who're born there. As a result of Azerbaijani sabotage, the 3 policemen killed today were born and lived in NK, had families and children. Is this how Aliyev wants to talk to NK Armenians?
Daily attacks by AZ army into Armenian sovereign territory are well documented by the recently deployed EU Monitoring Capacity in Armenia. The mission will make it clear for EU and others that attacks are unprovoked and are well planned terror by AZ towards Armenian statehood.
In Nagorno Karabakh on a daily basis people are losing consciousness due to malnutrition.
The leadership of Azerbaijan bears direct responsibility for this and the International Community is sharing this responsibility by doing nothing to save people's lives.
@SecBlinken
I really can’t understand: if the document is so good for Armenia, then why it is being hidden. The authorities must publish it and explain how it is beneficial to Armenia, substantiate it point by point. And then the people will decide whether Armenia needs it or not.

Azerbaijan keeps 120K people of Nagorno Karabakh under siege for a month, and Armenian POWs for over 2 years, violating international law. AZ must lift the blockade of Lachin Corridor and release the POWs. International law must be respected no matter how much gas & oil you have.
Azerbaijan is pushing forward a narrative that Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh for centuries should either stay on AZ terms or leave for a third country, claiming that this isn't an ethnic cleansing. I'm curious whether the authors of this thesis believe in what they say?
Azerbaijan has agreed to cooperate with the EU civilian mission which will be dispatched along the border. Therefore, any possible future aggression by Azerbaijan will be monitored on the ground.
Today Azerbaijan is celebrating the capturing of Hadrut, whereas this day also is memorized by the execution of two unarmed Armenians by Azeri soldiers, confirmed by Bellingcat, for which no one was held accountable to this date.
Back in 2021, as a member of PACE delegation, I had a speech about Azerbaijan’s disgraceful Trophy Park, where the Azerbaijani regime had placed mannequins of Armenian prisoners of war.

Another horrible video has emerged of Armenian prisoners of war apparently being executed. If this video is proven to be authentic then this is a war crime that needs to be investigated and the perpetrators punished.
Azerbaijan is guilty of ethnic cleansing by choosing to attack the enclave rather than pursue a Western-backed deal guaranteeing the civil rights of its Armenian minority
In Sochi Aliyev stated that the Karabakh conflict is a history, there's nothing to talk about it, it's been resolved 2 years ago. i.e. Azerbaijan continues to ignore the rights, safety and the risk of ethnic cleansing of 1000s of NK people. This isn't a position leading to peace.
Yesterday the Azeri president said Armenia can’t be considered as an independent state, since it can’t ensure its security. I advise Aliev to refrain from such frivolous statements, since it is well-known that Baku is always happy to pursue the policy dictated from Ankara.
Today, during the snap presidential elections of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev arranged his voting in the city of Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh. According to Azerbaijani legislation, Ilham Aliyev was never registered in Stepanakert to be eligible for vote there. What is remarkable
Finally he confessed. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in a “glorious” speech admitted that his country started the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, despite previously insisting the opposite. Well documented.

Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev keeps claiming that the issue of Nagorno Karabakh is an internal matter and they are not going to discuss it with anyone.
First of all, I am reminding again that no internal matter was dealt with by 3 Permanent Member states of the UN
Huit détenus arméniens ont été remis en liberté par l’Azerbaïdjan et transférés de Bakou vers Erevan. Ils retrouvent leurs familles dont ils étaient séparés depuis plusieurs mois. Merci à nos diplomates ainsi qu’à nos militaires mobilisés dans cette opération. On avance !
Day 18, AZ continues violating fundamental human rights of 120k people in NK keeping them under siege, which is impermissibe. International community shouldn't observe it as something normal today. Actions must be taken to hold AZ accountable for gross violations.
@SecBlinken
In times of severe winter AZ has cut off the gas supply in entire territory of NK along with the second day of blockage of the only road from NK to Armenia. Now for sure we have a humanitarian disaster, which must be properly addressed by international community.
@SecBlinken
While making statements re yesterday's incident on the AM-AZ border, our international partners should clearly realize that the incident took place on the sovereign territory of Armenia. I.e., the AZ armed forces invaded the territory of Armenia and provoked an incident.
I am publishing now the original proof the interview of the first president of Azerbaijan Ayaz Mutalibov published in Nezavisimaya Gazeta in 1992.
The first President of Azerbaijan Ayaz Mutalibov stated that “The assault on Khojaly was not a surprise attack”. In an interview in

@StateDept
statement Azerbaijani forces shot and killed an Armenian soldier in the sovereign territory of Armenia. The practice of putting a mark of equality between the aggressor & the victim of that aggression is unacceptable and encourages the aggressor.

The invasion of Azerbaijani troops deep into the territory of the Republic of Armenia in Syunik is a direct encroachment on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Armenia.
Under current circumstances, the Government of Armenia requests the intervention of the UN Security Council, as a principal body responsible for maintaining international peace and security, to prevent mass atrocities including war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against
Perhaps it's already the thousandth time that Armenia declares that it is ready to provide Azerbaijan with a road in compliance with its legislation. But this doesn't in any way affect Ilham Aliyev's wording who continues to state that Armenia isn't providing a road.
Failing to settle Azerbaijanis in the occupied Armenian villages in Artsakh\NK, Aliyev talks about 1m landmines, says he needs 30 years and $25 billion to clean those. In fact, mines were placed during the first Karabakh war, on both sides of the contact line, not in settlements.
First of all, it was not an exchange of fire but another unprovoked attack by the Azerbaijan’s army, which is well known for its ISIS-like warfare conduct. Armenian army took necessary steps to defend our sovereign territory.
Second, our demand is that Azerbaijan must withdraw
After keeping the people of Nagorno-Karabakh under a blockade for 10 months, Azerbaijan launched a military offensive against Nagorno-Karabakh on September 19, carrying out an ethnic cleansing of Armenians from the entire territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

On a daily basis, Azerbaijan is resigning from the fake narratives it has created regarding their willingness to live in coexistence with the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.
