A few days ago, the prestigious “RAND” corporation based in the U.S. published on its website an article by Joe Haberman and Paul Cormarie. The analytical piece was titled “The US cannot guarantee Armenia’s security despite threats from Azerbaijan, but it can help”.
This is not the first time that autocratic Azerbaijan has come under scrutiny for handing out billions of dollars in bribes to Western officials to ignore its massive violations of the human rights of its own population and Artsakh Armenians.
“In a 2018 interview, Ibrahim Kalin, then the spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, confirmed that they had received a pitch for a documentary about Erdogan around the same time Stone was in Turkey. ‘We are looking at it, we are evaluating it,’ he said,” OCCRP reported.
How many times do we need to get slapped to understand: if we miscalculate we will perish
In Nerkin Hand, we established that the Azerbaijani armed servicemen at different times m carry out mine explosions in the immediate vicinity of their positions [in the invaded parts of Armenia], and shootings are also recorded. The Azerbaijani authorities also carry out military exercises at such a distance from the village that shots and explosions can be clearly heard inside the village both during the day and at night.
For far too long, Azerbaijan has been spoiled by the international community, particularly Western countries, blinded by Baku’s vast oil and gas supplies. After its ejection from PACE, Azerbaijan should now be expelled from the Council of Europe.
Pres. Ilham Aliyev, the dictator of Baku, gave a 2.5-hour-long press conference to Azeri journalists on January 10, 2024, during which he spewed not only his usual lies, but also made threats to Armenia’s very existence. Here are the highlights of Aliyev’s extremely arrogant and alarming words, emboldened by his military victories in the 2020 and 2023 Artsakh wars.
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.
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.
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.”
