Finally, after a year-long review process my piece titled "The Revival of

🚩State oil company of AZE 🇦🇿(
#SOCAR
) instructed all its gas stations based in
#Ukraine
to provide free gasoline for all ambulance vehicles, fire engines, and humanitarian trucks.

🇺🇦
💥So it happened.
#AZE
President Aliyev signed a decree on establishing of National Defense University as a part of the announced military reforms to adjust the 🇦🇿's Armed Forces to the standards of 🇹🇷's Armed Forces. The University will include several schools/departments.
#AZE
🇦🇿 reveals new video footage with military trucks of
#ARM
escorted by
#RUS
🇷🇺 peacekeeping vehicles and allegedly carrying weapons using
#Khankendi_
#Khalfali_Turshsu
road. Seemingly, a new wave of diplomatic rifts with
#Moscow
is ahead.
Yerli telekanallarda guya tolk-şou filan verirlər. Sadəlöv şəhid valideynlərinə verilən suallara bax "ölməsəydi arzusu nə idi?" "ölməsəydi sizə nə deyərdi?" "ölməsəydi nə vaxt ailə quracaqdı?". Bu nə deməkdir axı? Sizə sualları kim hazırlayıb verir və ya niyə verir?
#UKR
President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded two Azeri servicemen of the
#UKR
Armed Forces, Rafig Aliyev (Serg) & Majid Abdulgafarov with a Medal of Courage. Both take part in military operations in
#Donbas
.
That moment when a guy sitting next to the Defense Minister David Tonoyan wears the same camouflage as the claimed Syrian mercenaries fighting in
#AZE
military. The uniform is very similar to the border guards uniform of AZE. Apparently, shortly after the photo was deleted.
The first outcomes of the trilateral meeting of 🇦🇿🇦🇲and🇪🇺 in
#Brussels
:
🔻No mention of
#Karabakh
's status
🔻No mention of the
#OSCE
Minsk Group
🔻Head of the MFAs attended the meeting, so real progress over the peace agreement could appear anytime soon...
Another
#Israeli
serviceman of Azerbaijani origin, Lior Azizov (20 y.o), was killed during the recent operation in
#Gaza
. Reportedly, he is the fifth ethnic Azerbaijani killed in action in
#Israel
.
AZE prisoners Dilgam Asgarov and Shahbaz Guliyev are set free and back in Baku. They were captured and imprisoned in 2014 by ARM for "illegal visiting of
#Karabakh
"
⚡️Very interesting that
#AZE
's 🇦🇿
#SOCAR
company became the winner (in addition to
#BP
🇬🇧 &
#ENI
🇮🇹) of the recent tender announced by the

Energy Ministry. Despite the ongoing conflict,

4 hours long meeting of 🇦🇿 President Ilham Aliyev and🇦🇲 Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in 🇧🇪 within the 🇪🇺 mediation is over. Briefly, the parties agreed on establishing a joint working group until the end of April to finalize the border demarcation/delimitation process.
One of the dramatic scenes of the first Karabakh War. Armenian combatants take Kalbajar and one of them addresses the local people in Azeri "ARM entered the city, you're allowed to leave but the roads are closed. You cannot escape.." and then they're all laughing. Tragic and sad.
Video footage from the first Karabakh war.
"Attention, attention, Armenian forces have entered Kalbajar and northern villages of the Lachin, we allow residents to go, roads are closed, you have no opportunity to escape..."

Just watched that video with the alleged execution of ARM PoW's. Don't know what to say. It is a shame, really. 21st century and people still act like in medieval ages. I hope that
#AZE
and
#ARM
sides will issue detailed information on this madness and launch an investigation.
6 new cooperation agreements were signed between
#AZE
🇦🇿 and
#UKR
🇺🇦 encompassing agriculture, food safety, and energy fields. President Aliyev visited Kiev upon the invitation of President Zelensky during their vis-a-vis meeting in
#Brussels
.
🔥This is something: As tensions mount between 🇦🇿🇷🇺, Deputy of the 🇦🇿 Security Service (DTX) General Jeyhun Shadlinski publicly reported that 🇷🇺 amassed additional troops and weaponry to
#Karabakh
region and "may be planning to support 🇦🇲 troops to launch a revenge operation."

🇦🇿🇦🇲 leaders Aliyev and Pashinyan agreed to another

Turning Mariupol from being a green city to Aleppo in just less than 3 weeks is undoubtedly the "biggest achievement of the second biggest army" in the world.
The video footage of a terrorist attack on the
#AZE
Embassy in
#Tehran
is available now. Despite
#IRN
claims that the perpetrator entered the building with 2 kids, the video shows a man armed with an AK rifle without any kids around. Deliberate attack.
Checked the video footage with an old ARM man being caught by a group of AZE soldiers. It is a shocking and unacceptable action committed against an old POW. Such moves not only harshly damages the image of the National Army but also contradicts the statements of the government.
🇦🇿 authorities say they identified a few more human remnants in
#Karabakh
. One of them is Col. Riad Ahmadov, a national hero and well-known commander of the first
#Karabakh
war. He missed during the fierce clashes in
#Dashalti
, and his whereabouts were unknown until 2023.
#Serbia

🇦🇿inaugurated the newly built highway (26 km) linking Rumal to Sabac. The project was funded by

#Balkans
.
📌
#AZE
agreed to provide
#UKR
with mine clearance vehicles and provide training for Ukrainian sappers given its long-term experience in combating landmines.
But for sure,
#AZE
is a "pro-Russian" country 😉
🔥After vowing "not to leave
#Karabakh
alive," Ruben Vardanyan was reportedly detained in

It is not a historical monument, and Gubatly is not an ancient ARM settlement, but a predominantly ethnic Kurdish settlement. If it was a Kurdish symbol destroyed, it would make sense.
🚨
#AZE
🇦🇿 media reports that Armed Forces in
#Karabakh
stopped a
#RUS
🇷🇺 military convoy allegedly carrying unregistered rifles (AKM) en route to

. In response, the convoy was forced to return back asap. No official confirmation yet.
#AZE
erected a monument for
#AN_12
- a Soviet-era small-sized airplane (Kukuruznik) for their crucial role in the recent 44-day long
#Karabakh
war. AZE used these planes as targets to identify

📌 🇦🇿well-known Member of Parliament Rasim Musabekov also confirms that 🇦🇿 may soon "launch anti-terrorist operation against🇦🇲 armed groups in
#Karabakh
." This is the second high profile state official mentioning the military operation in a row. Risks of armed standoff is rising.

So
#ARM
canceled the accreditation of

journalist Ilya Azar (Meduza) officially for "entering

#RUS
citizen Eduard Dubakov, who illegally fought in
#Karabakh
war as a mercenary against
#AZE
Armed Forces, was sentenced to 10 years and will be deported from AZE after fully serving his term in prison.
🇦🇿 officials and special envoys every week openly state that 🇦🇿 recognizes
#ARM

and that it established alternative land corridor bypassing 🇦🇲 territory to avoid accusation and hysteria. But it seems like it is not enough for Western media, or they are
Fears are growing that Azerbaijan could follow up its seizure of the ethnic Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh last month with assaults on its neighbor's territory.
France has made clear it is not going to sit on the sidelines.

In 1990s newly independent Armenia with active support of Russian (ex-Soviet) ground troops and Air Forces managed to take control in NK (though within 3 years) but now complains that TUR supports AZE, though no foreign ground forces or military vehicles deployed in NK. Logic?
Türkiye, Azerbaycan'a toprak hediye ediyor. Azerbaycan ordusunun yalnız başına 50 yıl uğraşsa yapamayacağı işi Erdoğan kendi özel birlikleri ile yapılıyor - karşılıksız yapmasi gerçekçi degil. Bunun karşılığında ne alacak göreceğiz.
📌According to diplomatic sources,

Some

Telegram channels report that

#AZE
military significantly advanced in that direction and fully secured

district for possible counter-attacks.
This is huge. 🇦🇿 President's Office announces that following intensive negotiations with the 🇦🇲 government to restore confidence between two nations and contribute to the peace, 🇦🇿 sets free 32
#Armenian
prisoners, while 🇦🇲 sets free two
#Azeri
servicemen convicted in 🇦🇲. 🇦🇿🇦🇲

🇹🇷 FM Mevlut Cavushoglu said "
#ARM

Həmişə mənə maraqlı gəlib necə olur ki, Sovet dövrünün təsərrüfat işçiləri (qadınlar və kişilər) fotolarda və videolentlərdə daha modern və sekulyar görünürlər? Yəni indi bizdə Lənkəranda təsərrüfatda işləyən gənc xanımların bu fotodakı (1979) xanımlarla heç bir oxşarlığı yoxdur
