Armenia claims Azerbaijan has 'unleashed large-scale aggression'

More here

Today, while heads of state and international journalists were focused on the annual UN General Assembly in NY, Azerbaijan enacted the next phase of its master plan to force the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh from their indigenous lands by launching a full-scale military operation against Armenian civilians and defense positions alike. It also announced that it is "providing a safe route to 'evacuate' the civilian population to keep them from harm's way" -- a harmful environment that they themselves created.

This act of so-called benevolence flies in the face of reality, yet the world media reports it without the appropriate context. This lack of perspective only aids Azerbaijan in completing its mission to cleanse the region of all traces of Armenian life, culture, and history.

Under the false pretext that Armenian defense forces provoked this "anti-terrorist" Azeri attack by setting landmines that killed several Azeri forces, Azerbaijan has once again justified its aggressive actions with unproven claims that many in the international community and global media continue to take at face value.

This false equivalent strategy has helped enable Azerbaijan to violate the very laws and conventions that the UN established to prevent ethnic cleansing and genocide in the first place. In effect, Azerbaijan's brazen military actions and forced evacuations are sending a cynical message to the world community--during UN General Assembly week, no less. It is telling the world that it can operate outside of the international world order simply because nobody is willing to check the veracity of its claims or put this aggression into perspective as part of a genocidal pattern of behavior recently denounced by human rights agencies and experts including US, French and other global government officials.

In the context of all the other crimes against humanity committed by Azerbaijan against Armenians over decades, and, most recently, in the 2020 Azeri invasion of Artsakh and its aftermath, world leaders and media must perform due diligence to fully investigate these contrived Azeri narratives and avoid issuing both-sideism statements and reports that obfuscate that there is a clear perpetrator party.

Armenia claims Azerbaijan has 'unleashed large-scale aggression'

How could that be, when Pashinian has Nagorno-Karabakh already openly declared Azerbajiani territory ?

It seems he is as smart as the current US and EU leadship, driving his country into the ground.

Pashinyan was forced at gunpoint. Never have the indigenous inhabitants been included in negotiations which would make sense to anyone.

But this is another Greater Israel project -- and destroying the so-called Amaleks and moving into Iran next is the objective. That is why there is venom against the Armenians on this discussion board.

Aliyev with the aid of Putin succeeded in subjugating the people of Artsakh. Congratulations.

The 'ceasefire agreement' after 2 days of intense Azeri shelling and which was brokered today by the Russians entailed that Armenians of Artsakh are going to disarm and disband their armed forces and remove their heavy weaponry from Artsakh.

Based on the agreement text, a "reintegration" process is going to start and the security and the rights of Armenians are going to be guaranteed “within the framework of the Azerbaijani constitution.” Any sound person who thinks that "reintegrating" Armenians into a society which is rife with Armenophobia, offers monetary incentives for butchering Armenians and is built on the foundations of hating Armenians is a good idea is daydreaming.

There is ample proof about "reintegration programs" throughout history that were shibboleths for massacre/rape/forced Islamic conversions/ displacement.

This is how the Turks emptied the empire of Armenians in 1915. Disarm, massacre, displace.

Supposedly the Russian peacekeeping contingent is going to 'guarantee the security of the Armenians.' That is too questionable since they have repeatedly done the opposite militarily, diplomatically and otherwise. Stalin made the Artsakh region a Soviet "oblast" of Azerbaijan in 1920 and Armenians have been forcibly separated from Armenia ever since.

Some do not blame the leadership of Artsakh for taking this difficult decision. Many of its people are leaving en masse for Armenia. At the end of the day, they are powerless against Aliyev's despotic regime as the elites have no interest in reigning in this monster. Artsakh became orphans after the Azeri invasion's conclusion on November 9, 2020 when everyone turned the other way. This is exactly how Armenian Nakhichevan was emptied of Armenians in 1920 by the Turks/Azeris, followed by the complete destruction of their religious and cultural landmarks there.

Artsakh is where the Armenian alphabet was created in 406 AD.

Armenia proper is next, with the help of the East AND the West. Aliyev brazenly says it's "Western Azerbaijan" and is populated by interlopers.

Please don't lecture this board and the world about the unique suffering of The Chosen People.

One might almost think the area is kept simmering to provide Moscow with another headache to deal with just when it seems Russia is making progress.

Precisely. Outside of Armenia and Azerbaijan, this dispute is a trivial nonsense, except for its inconvenience for Russia, which is the real reason the two belligerents are encouraged to keep fighting, like a couple of pit bulls in a dogfight ring.

Hasbara. When the dam breaks and Az pries open the "Zangezur Corridor," NATO/ Turkey and the rest will have a clear PanTurkic corridor from the Bosphorous Straits all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Russia will lose any strategic advantage in the Caucasus.

It'd make sense for Azerbaijan to take de facto control of the area to then proffer it in the "double-corridor" swap: ceding the Lachin corridor (connecting to Nagorno-Karnabakh) to Armenia, if Armenia is willing to cede the Meghri corridor (connecting to Nakhichevan) to Azerbaijan.
