Yervant1 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Armenpress.com This is an attack against internationally recognized Armenian settlements - US Congresswoman Jackie Speier SaveShare 04:57, 13 September 2022YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. US Congresswoman Jackie Speier commented on the shelling of Armenian peaceful settlements by Azerbaijani armed forces, emphasizing that Azerbaijan shells internationally recognized Armenian settlements. “I am outraged by reports of heavy and coordinated Azeri artillery strikes on peaceful Armenian towns. To be clear: these are internationally recognized Armenian towns, NOT disputed territory. It's unconscionable that the US continues to provide Aliyev with military aid”, she wrote. After midnight on September 13, the armed forces of Azerbaijan opened intense fire at the Armenian positions located in several parts of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border with the use of artillery and UAVs. In particular, the positions located in the directions of Sotk, Vardenis, Goris, Kapan, Artanish and Ishkhanasar were shelled. The Defense Ministry informed that as of 04:00, the situation remains extremely tense. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1092285.html?fbclid=IwAR0IzDD299FcWBZBUckDrz61-kf-Lj-angauAhHu0a9XVmuWgedrzxiPQeU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Armenia denounces the death of about 50 servicemen in clashes with Azerbaijan Daniel Stewart - 4h ago he Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinian, has denounced Tuesday the death of about 50 military personnel in the clashes registered during the early hours of Tuesday with the Azerbaijani Army in several points of the common border, in a new upsurge of hostilities. "The Azerbaijani Armed Forces have launched an attack on Armenia from four directions and two or three other directions were added later," he said in an appearance before the Parliament in which he put the number of servicemen killed in combat at 49, as reported by the Armenian news agency Armenpress. Thus, he said that "Azerbaijan is trying to misleadingly present these actions as a response to some kind of provocation". "We have to say that this is an absolute lie and false information", he added, before stressing that there was no provocation in the area. Pashinian also pointed out that "the intensity of the fighting has decreased", although he stressed that "Azeri attacks continue in one or two directions". "The Defense Ministry and the Army General Staff are assessing the situation, analyzing the losses and the information will be officially published once it is clarified," he said. Moreover, he has confirmed that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is holding a session of its Permanent Council following the request for support made by Armenia after the Azeri attack. "We have appealed to Russia on the basis of the 1997 friendship treaty and we will call on the UN Security Council to discuss the situation urgently," he reiterated. Azerbaijan described the news about Azerbaijani intervention in Armenian territory as "nothing but nonsense" and stressed that "the only aggressor and occupying state in the region is the Republic of Armenia". It also stressed that "the main purpose of regular artillery attacks by Armenia on Azeri army positions is to postpone the signing of a peace treaty and the construction and restoration work in the liberated territories," the Azeri Defense Ministry said. Armenia and Azerbaijan were at loggerheads in 2020 over control of Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory with a majority Armenian population that has been the focus of conflict since it decided to secede in 1988 from the Soviet-integrated Azerbaijan region. The hostilities between the two countries lasted six weeks and left thousands dead. They finally ceased when the two countries reached a Russian-brokered cease-fire agreement allowing Russian peacekeepers to settle in Nagorno-Karabakh for a period of five years.

Yervant1 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Armenpress.com Azerbaijan refuses to negotiate peace also over principles proposed by Armenia – PM SaveShare 12:06, 13 September 2022YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan explained the reasons behind Azerbaijan’s attack on Armenia. In remarks delivered to parliament, Pashinyan said that all claims that Azerbaijan launched the attack in response to an alleged provocation by the Armenian military are fake.“In the recent days you saw that the Azerbaijani side was constantly spreading reports in the information warfare genre on so-called attacks by the Armenian military, and the Defense Ministry was denying these reports because these claims were false,” Pashinyan said. PM Pashinyan said the situation first of all is related to the Karabakh negotiations process.“You all remember that in March of 2022 Azerbaijan presented five proposals regarding a peace treaty and proposed to sign a peace treaty based on this. Our response to that was the following: there is nothing unacceptable for us in these proposals, but we believe that these terms must be supplemented and based on these supplemented terms we are ready to negotiate and sign a peace treaty in case of agreeing over the respective points. Certainly, it seemed that there was an understanding around the subject, but over the course and namely during the Brussels meeting it turned out and it was explained that nevertheless Azerbaijan is refusing to negotiate also based on the principles presented by us. You remember that these principles contained several points. One of them was the preservation of the principles of the 2020 November 9 and 2021 January 11 and November 26 trilateral statements, citing these principles and statements,” Pashinyan said.The next important point related to the security and rights of the people of Nagorno Karabakh and the status stemming from it. “Essentially, Azerbaijan’s position which is expressed and was expressed during the negotiations process is the following: they don’t want to discuss the Karabakh issue with Armenia because their stance is that the Karabakh issue is resolved or at least it is a domestic issue of Azerbaijan and they don’t want to discuss it with the Republic of Armenia,” the PM said. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1092332.html?fbclid=IwAR2jQmDNNiwLcWp0XWJnlppssAWZYM5SNJrLrGUu41-ccCUpAS-ig_aNmXE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember the clause 9 of the November 9 statement mentions, the first sentence is about unblocking, unblocking of economic and transport connections and routes of the region, about opening and re-opening.

Yervant1 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 1945Sept 12 2022 Biden Recognized Armenian Genocide. Will Blinken Enable Its Repeat?ByMichael Rubin America’s Armenian diaspora applauded when President Joe Biden fulfilled his campaign pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Two days later, without giving any forewarning to senators and representatives most engaged on the issue, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken waived Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act. That law essentially forbade military assistance to Azerbaijan unless it demonstrated its commitment to resolve its ongoing disputes with Armenia diplomatically. While successive administrations had long waived Section 907 to cultivate Azerbaijan as an ally against Iran, the April 2021 waiver—and a subsequent waiver this past June—surprised observers because they blatantly violated the law.Blinken probably recognizes this, but believed correctly that Congress would not hold him to account. He might also believe that a Section 907 waiver would blunt the anger that Baku and Ankara might feel toward Washington for acknowledging history,The problem with Blinken’s bothsiderism is it encourages extremes. In the wake of the waiver, Azerbaijani dictator Ilham Aliyev built a memorial reminiscent of Saddam Hussain’s wartime propaganda. Aliyev has also repeatedly denied the legitimacy of Armenia’s right to exist and laid claims to towns and cities across the international border in Armenia. The United States has been largely silent as Azerbaijan systematically erases Armenian cultural heritage. Azeri rhetoric today and its dehumanization of Armenians are reminiscent of Rwanda immediately prior to the anti-Tutsi genocide or China with regard to its Uighur minority and culture. While the State Department approaches the Nagorno-Karabakh and Caucasus conflicts as a diplomatic problem whose solution will lie in creative diplomacy and compromise, they discount the role of ideology. They ignore, for example, the fact that Azerbaijan and Turkey’s invasion of Armenian-controlled Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2020 occurred on the 100th anniversary of the Ottoman invasion of Armenia against the backdrop of the original genocide. Dictators do not easily forfeit ideology when it is a tool to distract from internal dissension, economic failure, and the corruption of the ruling family.Today, the cost for Blinken’s penchant for bothsiderism and his deliberate decision to ignore Aliyev’s incitement became clear. While Azerbaijan partisans argue that Azeri force is justified to end Armenian self-governance in Nagorno-Karbakh, Azerbaijani forces tonight attacked not that region but Armenian towns and villages across the international border into Armenia. There are no winners to this situation. Armenians face ethnic cleansing and atrocity akin to what they suffered 107 years ago. Azeris suffer a further prostitution of their independence in favor of Turkey and the fact that Aliyev uses military crises to delay much-needed reform. Russia gains as a mediator in the absence of any serious U.S. efforts. Frankly, the Azerbaijani lobby in the United States also aids Russia’s position given that Russia’s economic partnership with Azerbaijan today surpasses Armenia.Genocide can be quick or it can be drawn out over years. Aliyev today calculates that a lack of seriousness in Washington plays to his advantage. He believes he can outplay and outsmart Blinken. What Azerbaijan might not complete as a blitzkrieg, he can accomplish in slow motion. Regardless of speed, both rhetoric and action show his true goal. If Blinken does not want to be the secretary under whose watch Azerbaijan and Turkey complete the Armenian genocide, it is time to respond forcefully. End the waiver of Section 907. Impose far broader sanctions on Azerbaijan. Promote Eastern Mediterranean gas and oil from Israel, Cyprus, and Greece so as not to become beholden to yet another dictatorial regime, one that ironically seeks to paint itself as an alternative to Russian gas while soliciting Russian investment. Withdrawal recognition of Azerbaijani sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh that is more the vestige of Joseph Stalin’s cynicism than historic demography. The wisest secretaries recognize their mistakes and recalibrate their actions.When it comes to Azerbaijan, Blinken’s reset is long overdue.

Yervant1 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hindustan Times, India Sept 13 2022 On Azerbaijan-Armenia clash, India asks ‘aggressor side’ to cease hostilities World News Updated on Sep 13, 2022 09:25 PM IST The dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh dates back to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. The region is controlled by ethnic Armenians but is located within Azerbaijan’s territory. NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday called on the “aggressor side” in fresh fighting along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border to “immediately cease hostilities” and said bilateral disputes should be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue. External affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi referred to attacks along the border between the two countries and said: “We have seen reports of attacks along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, including targeting of civilian settlements and infrastructure on September 12-13, 2022. We call upon the aggressor side to immediately cease hostilities.” He added, “We believe that bilateral disputes should be settled through diplomacy and dialogue. There can be no military solution to any conflict. We encourage both sides to pursue talks to arrive at a lasting and peaceful solution.” Armenia has said at least 49 of its soldiers were killed in fighting along the border with Azerbaijan, and that the attacks were carried out because of a dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. On the other hand, Azerbaijan said its troops returned fire to prevent “large-scale provocations” by Armenia’s military. Russia said on Tuesday it brokered a truce between Armenia and Azerbaijan after fighting erupted on the border between the two sides this week. The media in Azerbaijan, however, reported the ceasefire has already been broken. Moscow called on the two countries to “refrain from further escalation of the situation, exercise restraint and strictly observe the ceasefire in accordance with the trilateral statements of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of November 9, 2020, January 11 and November 26, 2021”, according to a statement from Russia’s foreign ministry. Russia said it acted after receiving an appeal from Armenia’s leadership to “assist in resolving the situation”. The dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh dates back to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. The region is controlled by ethnic Armenians but is located within Azerbaijan’s territory. The two countries last clashed over the region in 2020. https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/on-azerbaijan-armenia-clash-india-asks-aggressor-side-to-cease-hostilities-101663084361913.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Sept 13 2022 Why Does Israel Support Azerbaijan in Hostilities with Armenia? Published 2 hours ago on September 13, 2022By Bill McEwen, News Director Israel was one of the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.That support, which includes substantial military aid such as Stinger missiles and Harop drones, hasn’t wavered. Not even when Azerbaijan engaged in two wars with Armenia over disputed territory in Nagorno-Karabakh.GV Wire asked retired Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger in an interview last fall why his country didn’t instead support Armenia, whose citizens — like those in Israel — have been the victims of genocide. Israel, of course, has never officially recognized the Armenian Genocide.Ettinger said that it is in Israel’s best interests and the best interests of peace in the region to back Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, intelligence analysts note that Azerbaijan, which is 97% Muslim, is a large supplier of Israeli oil and that Azerbaijan’s border with Iran is strategically important to Israel.Watch: Why Does Israel Stand With Azerbaijan, not Armenia?Nagorno-Karabakh is within Azerbaijan but had been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since the end of a separatist war in 1994. Armenia, which also formed after the break-up of the Soviet Union, is 99% Christian.A second war was waged by Azerbaijan and Armenia there last year that resulted in more than 6,500 deaths. That conflict ended when Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a Russia-brokered cease-fire agreement that granted Azerbaijan control over parts of Nagorno-Karabakh as well as adjacent territories occupied by Armenians.Armenian officials told a United Nations court earlier this month that “Azerbaijan continues to espouse and actively promote ethnic hatred against Armenians.”For an in-depth analysis of the relationships involving Israel, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, and Russia, read this piece by Daniel Edelstein.

We have seen significant evidence of Azerbaijani shelling inside Armenia and significant damage to Armenian infrastructure, but most important for us is that both of these parties commit to a cessation of hostilities and commit to a broader de-escalation,” Price said. Azerbaijan launched an unprovoked large-scale attack on Armenia from several directions on September 13. Both military and civilian infrastructures were hit by artillery bombardments and UAV strikes. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1092441.html?fbclid=IwAR3FXy9lVE5eds1YhInPL6n6ugX8cvbnFPnjcLT7A--F6Np35PjpihRZQvw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
