— The anatomy of today’s calamity and nightmare is as glaringly evident as a high-resolution MRI scan of the human body. Error upon error by Nikol Pashinyan has cascaded into war and the first partial loss of Nagorno Karabakh.
We all know the disasters that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan brought upon Armenia in addition to losing Artsakh due to his incompetence.
The roundtable concluded in a Q&A session during which speakers and politicians deliberated on prospective measures to promote peace in the South Caucasus and uphold the fundamental rights of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh.
The Zovighian Public Office (ZPO) has published an open-source intelligence (OSINT) and geolocation report at the one-year mark of the start of the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, known to Armenians as Artsakh. The report was commissioned to explore if Azerbaijan imposed a blockade on the indigenous Artsakhi Armenian population at the Lachin Corridor.
Artsakh Armenians, who are citizens of Armenia, have suffered more than enough. They should not be burdened with such unnecessary bureaucratic nonsense.
More than 150 global humanitarian, political figures and business leaders have signed a letter calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the Armenian prisoners illegally held in Azerbaijan.
“Ucom is a people-centric company, and we believe in the power of good deeds. Among other initiatives we carry out for the community’s well-being, we aim to provide the utmost security to our fellow citizens. We want our compatriots forcibly displaced from Artsakh to know that they are not alone and that we will stand up with joint forces,” said Ralph Yirikian, director general of Ucom.
This is the vindictive enemy that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan naively believes he can sign a ‘Peace Treaty’ with. This unnecessary ‘Peace Treaty’ will actually undermine Armenia’s interests. Azerbaijan is already demanding that the rights of “Azeris expelled from Armenia” be included in such a treaty, thus providing the ground for future aggression and occupation by Azerbaijan. The Azeri letter to the UN in fact includes such an alarming provision: “the [Azeri] Community will aspire to include the creation of conditions for the return of Western Azerbaijanis to their homeland as an obligation of Armenia in the peace treaty to be concluded between Azerbaijan and Armenia.”
“As a national telecommunications operator, our commitment is to make the best services and opportunities available to everyone. The offer of the Unity regional package for our compatriots forcibly displaced from Artsakh was developed with special attention to ensure their connection with their relatives, to ease and simplify their life activities in these difficult times,” said Ralph Yirikian, Director General of Ucom.
—The violence and deprivation of aid in Nagorno-Karabakh during the majority of 2023 forced nearly all Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians to flee under the threat of ethnic cleansing or genocide.
