Yervant1 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Public Radio of ArmeniaJuly 22 2020 Armenians in Belgium protest against Azerbaijani aggression The Armenian community of Belgium protested today in front of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Brussels to condemn the Azerbaijani military aggression against the north-eastern territories of the Republic of Armenia.“Belgium and the European Union must act and name the Azerbaijani attacker by his name. Since 12 July, Azerbaijan has not only been targeting civilian populations in border villages but also threatening to target the Armenian Medsamor nuclear power plant, thus causing humanitarian catastrophe throughout the region,” the Armenian National Committee of Belgium said.Nous sommes nombreux devant l'Ambassade d'Azerbaïdjan cet après-midi pour dénoncer l'offensive militaire azerbaïdjanaise…Gepostet von CDCA Belgique – Comité de Défense de la Cause Arménienne – Hay Tad Belgium am Mittwoch, 22. Juli 2020“We also condemn the Turkish government’s shameful support for the Azerbaijan offensive. No military involvement of Turkey in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be tolerated. Turkey preparing terrorist jihadist groups to kill more Armenians, not only puts the physical security of the people of Armenia and Artsakh at risk, but also threatens activists recognizing the Armenian Genocide worldwide. This work is led at the highest state level by President Erdogan himself, by the very admission of his communication director,” the Committee added.https://en.armradio.am/2020/07/22/armenians-in-belgium-protest-against-azerbaijani-aggression/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Public Radio of ArmeniaJuly 22 2020 Recent escalation the logical outcome of Azerbaijan’s ‘pugnacious policies,’ says Armenia’s Ambassador to Poland There is enough clear evidence that the most recent escalation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border in the Northern Tavush region is the logical outcome of pugnacious policies of Azerbaijan, Armenia’s Ambassador to Poland Samvel Mkrtchian said in an interview with the Warsaw Institute.“If one follows the warmongering rhetoric of the President of Azerbaijan, the Defense Minister and other high ranking officials pronounced during last weeks and months advocating for a military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, you see that the provocation which triggered the developments starting July 12th was not out of the blue,” he said.The Ambassador noted that the Armenian side has been continuously warning its international partners that this type of situation is of high probability and, preventive and restraining political and diplomatic steps should be taken to tame the Azerbaijani ill-intentioned fervor.“To our disappointment, our warnings have been somewhat overlooked,” he stressed.Speaking about the role of Russia and Turkey, Ambassador Mkrtchian said “the two countries are acting completely differently.”“Turkish Defense Minister, Foreign Minister, the President and other officials in the course of the last week have already made several statements and comments voicing their unequivocal support to Azerbaijan, also in terms of possible military involvement. This is extremely unhelpful and not only encourages and emboldens Azerbaijan to continue along the dangerous path of escalation, but also raises profound questions on whether that country can play any credible and positive role in the South Caucasus,” the Ambassador said.“At this point it is abundantly clear that Turkey is a destabilizing factor in our region and a serious challenge to Armenia’s security. Moreover, Turkey’s attempts to intervene in the conflicts in its neighboring regions has already undermined the security and stability thereon,” he added.“These facts make even more impossible for Turkey to play any role in the issues related to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, within international, and particularly the OSCE framework. Armenia will continue to consistently work towards maintaining and strengthening the international and regional security, while closely cooperating with international partners to this end,” Amb. Mkhrtchyan noted.To the contrary, Russia, he said, though being an ally to Armenia and being bound by military security agreements, opted a balanced approach offering its mediation services not only as the co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, but in its national capacity as well.He stated that “the situation we are currently in, necessitates as quick as possible to engage in negotiations in good faith. Azerbaijan should eventually comprehend that we live in the same region and we need to build a common security space.”“To achieve that goal, in the first place, the right of Nagorno Karabakh people to self-determination should be unconditionally respected, international legally binding mechanisms should be utilized to exercise it and define the status of Nagorno Karabakh. By doing so the full potential of the South Caucasus will be unblocked and we all will equally benefit,” Samvel Mkrtchian said.https://en.armradio.am/2020/07/22/recent-escalation-the-logical-outcome-of-azerbaijans-pugnacious-policies-says-armenias-ambassador-to-poland/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Public Radio of ArmeniaJuly 23 2020 Armenian Consulate condemns Azerbaijani violence against protesters in Los Angeles The Consulate General of Armenia in Los Angeles has strongly condemned the provocations of the Azerbaijanis in front of the Consulate General of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles on July 21st, 2020.“Considering the sequence of events, it is evident that the obstruction of the peaceful protest of the Armenian community was planned in advance and had an orchestrated nature,” the Consulate said.The Armenian Consulate General in Los Angeles considers the violence against the peaceful demonstrators unacceptable.Tuesday’s protest at the Azerbaijani Consulate, organized by the Armenian Youth Federation, drew a crowd of more than 3,000, according to Los Angeles Police Department estimates.As Armenians were arriving at the demonstration site ahead of the 2 p.m. scheduled start time, a group Azerbaijanis, numbering less than 50, were waiting. Los Angeles Police officers escorted them across the street to prevent potential clashes, as has been witnessed in other such demonstrations this week.However, this did not stop the Azerbaijanis from inciting violence and instigating the Armenians, as they began throwing water bottles at the arriving protesters, promoting them to cross the street. A small scuffle ensued and was quickly broken up by police. This incident forced the closure of eastbound and westbound lanes of the commonly busy Wilshire Boulevard for more than 30 minutes.As the protest was winding down, one of the Azerbaijanis across the street threw a water bottle, which hit a female Armenian protester, prompting those in her immediate vicinity to charge at the Azerbaijanis. A fight broke out, during which an LAPD sergeant was unwittingly hit in the face.https://en.armradio.am/2020/07/23/armenian-consulate-condemns-azerbaijani-violence-against-protesters-in-los-angeles/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Communal NewsJuly 23 2020 Clashes Between Azerbaijan and Armenia Remind the World About the Armenian GenocideJuly 23, 2020July 23, 2020 David Wexelman The Armenian Genocide occurred at the end of World War I.Armenia is a Christian republic; Azerbaijan Islamic.When the nations became independent in 1991 there remains a border conflict.Genocide is defined as mass destruction of racial and national groups. The motive of Genocide can be national, religious or both. The motive of national genocide is to destroy another nation which threatens their future existence or stands in the way of their future survival.Today there is a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. At the end of World War I which was the end of the Ottoman Empire, there was the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide was the systematic mass murder and expulsion of 1.5 million ethnic Armenians. The starting date is conventionally on April 24, 1915, the day that the Ottoman authorities rounded up and arrested a group of Armenian intellectuals living in Constantinople which is today Istanbul, Turkey.Map pinpoints the place of border conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.The ancient culture of Armenia dates back to the beginnings of Christianity. The Kingdom of Armenia was the first state to accept Christianity as its official religion in the late 3rd or 4th century. It later became part of the Byzantine Empire.When the Byzantine Empire fell in 1415, Armenia was conquered by the Turks. It became ruled by the Ottoman and Iranian empires until World War I when the Ottoman Empire fell. The Armenian Genocide occurred during the transition between the downfall of the Ottoman Empire whose capital was in Constantinople and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.The Republic of Turkey denies to have been involved in the Armenian Genocide. Armenia was ruled by the Russian empire until 1918 following the Russian revolution when the Russian Empire ceased to exist and all non-Russian nations declared independence leading to the establishment of the First Republic of Armenia. Also at that time the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed its independence. Azerbaijan became the first secular democratic Muslim majority state.The picture is of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.In 1920 both Armenia and Azerbaijan became part of the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, both nations declared their independence. Armenia is a Christian democratic republic. Azerbaijan is a Muslim secular democratic republic. The history of the Armenian Genocide still hovers over these two nations which recently had military conflicts. The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia is called the Nagorna – Karabakr conflict. It is an ethnic territorial conflict over a disputed region and seven surrounding districts. A ceasefire was signed in 1994 which lasted until 2016. Since then the possibility of future hostilities have increased.On July 14, seven Azeri soldiers and a civilian together with four Armenian soldiers were killed in the third day of border clashes between the two countries. France condemned the two sides with the international community that they should abide by the ceasefire and resume their dialogue to avoid escalation. Israel has peaceful relations with both sides. In the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem there remains an Armenian community left over from the Byzantine Empire. Drones sold by Israel to Azerbaijan have been used in these conflicts several of which the Armenians claim that they have shot down.The memory of the Armenian Genocide hovers over today’s conflict between these two nations with distinct religious identities Christian and Islam. https://communalnews.com/clashes-between-azerbaijan-and-armenia-remind-the-world-about-the-armenian-genocide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 TASS, RussiaJuly 24 2020 Yerevan accuses Baku of masterminding attacks on Armenians abroadTensions flared up on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border on July 12, when Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said that Armenian army units had tried to attack Azerbaijan’s positions at the Tovuz section of the border with the use of artillery systems YEREVAN, July 24. /TASS/. The Armenian foreign ministry has accused Azeri authorities of organizing violent attacks on Armenian diaspora representatives and diplomatic missions of Armenia overseas."Lately, there have been recorded cases and attempts of violent attacks on Armenian citizens and members of Armenian communities in different countries around the world," the ministry said in a statement issued Friday. It also highlights "cases of obstructing work of Armenia’s diplomatic service agencies and Armenian communities abroad and deliberate destruction of their personal and government properties," accusing "Azeri state structures" of orchestrating the attacks. "We resolutely condemn practices of stoking inter-state clashes in various countries," the ministry underlined.Tensions flared up on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border on July 12, when Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said that Armenian army units had tried to attack Azerbaijan’s positions at the Tovuz section of the border with the use of artillery systems. Baku said twelve servicemen of Azerbaijan’s army, including a major general, died during the three days of battles. Armenia, in turn, reported that five servicemen were killed in the hostilities, while nine more were wounded. Both sides note that the situation along the border has been relatively calm since July 17.The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the highland region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory that had been part of Azerbaijan before the Soviet Union break-up, but primarily populated by ethnic Armenians, broke out in February 1988 after the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region announced its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1992-1994, tensions boiled over and exploded into large-scale military action for control over the enclave and seven adjacent territories after Azerbaijan lost control of them. Talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement have been ongoing since 1992 under the OSCE Minsk Group, led by its three co-chairs - Russia, France and the United States. https://tass.com/world/1182263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 News.am, ArmeniaJuly 24 2020 Azerologist: If Armenian-Azerbaijani clashes aren't stopped in third countries, consequences can be tragic23:27, 24.07.2020 If, at some point, things get out of hand, it won’t really matter if the attacks of Azerbaijanis against Armenians in Moscow are organized or spontaneous. This is what Azerologist Angela Elibekova told Armenian News-NEWS.am.“We saw clashes during protests in different countries and the Azerbaijanis’ provocations. Even if those clashes and provocations were organized and guided by the Azerbaijani authorities to provoke such situations, if this was a planned policy, at some point, it can get out of hand for the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides. This can lead to very tragic events in different cities and countries, and it will be very hard to control or stop everything,” she emphasized.Asked what Armenia’s government can do to protect its citizens in other countries, particularly in Russia, Elibekova said the government needs to work actively with community organizations so that the Armenians of the particular country don’t give in to the Azerbaijanis’ provocations. She added that the government also needs to establish contacts with Azerbaijani community organizations as much as possible so that the so-called ‘ceasefire’ is established because no side wants growth of tension in a third country.When told that perhaps the Azerbaijanis are making these provocations in order to try to take revenge for yet another defeat on the border with Armenia, the Azerologist said they are probably trying to get over it, but there have been cases when Armenians and Azerbaijanis have clashed in third countries in the past. “There is a myth that Armenians and Azerbaijanis live in solidarity outside of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This is not really the case because there are clashes during protests and even in daily life. However, to this day, those conflicts were local. Now we see a rising wave that needs to be stopped. If we don’t fight against this, the conflict can become much more dangerous,” she said.https://news.am/eng/news/593328.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very concerning that these military actions have been accompanied by the threats to launch missile strikes against Armenian nuclear power plant.

The destabilizing role of Turkey in number of its neighboring regions attest to unjustified hostile attitude of this country towards peaceful nations from North Africa to Middle East, from South Caucasus to Eatern Meditearnean.“We have known Armenia and Armenians for centuries, we know their civilizational role in the history of the Middle East, we know them as devoted citizens of Lebanon which have a strong sense of national and regional identity. We know their security sensitivity and we have witnessed their unitedness in addressing and overcoming all the threats and challenges to their national agenda.

Yervant1 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Armenpress.am Azerbaijan was, is and will remain an aggressor – Frank Engel SaveShare 18:49, 24 July, 2020YEREVAN, JULY 24, ARMENPRESS. Former MEP Frank Engel thinks that the Azerbaijani leadership initiated border escalations recently to divert the attention of its citizens from domestic problems. In an interview with ARMENPRESS Engel said that every time Azerbaijani leadership faces domestic problems, they focus the attention of their citizens on the ''Armenian threat'' by attacking either Armenia or Artsakh. Frank Engel also talked about the Azerbaijani threats to strike Armenia's nuclear power plant and Turkey's behavior in the context of the clashes.-Mr. Engel, on July 12 Azerbaijan carried out aggression in the north-eastern section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. As a result of the clashes that lasted for a few days both sides suffered casualties. How would you comment on the recent days’ actions of Azerbaijan? -It is sadly not the first time this happens, and one might assume it won’t be the last. It seems that every time something goes awry in Azerbaijan’s internal politics, the attention of the public is diverted to “the Armenian threat” by attacks on the territory of Artsakh or Armenia proper. After decades of rigorous indoctrination of the Azerbaijani public, after decades of school curricula that have brainwashed generations of young people there, it isn’t surprising that this has worked every time until now. The trouble is that the current authorities of Baku may have taken it a step too far this time, as evidenced by the demonstrations and violence of a delirious mob demanding that finally there be all-out war. You can’t play this game forever. Sonner or later, Aliev will become the victim of his own rhetoric. That will of course be an extremely dangerous development for Armenia.-There have been different opinions about the goals of the actions of Azerbaijan. In your opinion what goal did the Azerbaijani leadership pursue and what task did they try to solve by provoking tension at the border?-Their goal is to divert attention from internal problems. This time they also sacked the Foreign Minister in the process, I don’t know what is cooking in Azerbaijani power circles right now. But it seems clear to me that the public in Azerbaijan demands that after years of the country shining off internationally, they finally get their share in the riches of the country, which are so far strictly confiscated by the ruling elite. Azerbaijan is facing distribution struggles, and the public is asking itself why the “Armenian problem” is not finally solved, if that is what keeps them poor. They also do no longer accept the sacrifice of officers and soldiers every few months in gratuitous acts. But as I said, the danger is: they will demand more, they want a real war. Aliev doesn’t, that would utterly ruin his wealth and governance system.-Apart from provoking border tensions, Azerbaijan kept Armenian civilian settlement under artillery fire for a few days which is well documented and the facts have been presented to the international community. How would you comment on the behavior of Azerbaijan of targeting civilians? -The Baku authorities will not want to risk a death toll like four years ago, when their public was outraged at the massive casualties they suffered for nothing. And as they are allowed to deny their aggressive role internationally, with hardly anyone on the front stage of international politics finally calling them out as the eternal warmonger, they will always claim that the civilian targets were a sad consequence of Armenian attacks. But when a society has been indoctrinated into sheer hatred and bloodthirst for such a long time, they revel in images of helpless victims of their military might. It is sick, but that’s what the whole system of Azerbaijan is. Sick. Only a sick society would cheer at the images of dead Armenian villagers.-Mr. Engel, the representative of the defense ministry of Azerbaijan threatened to strike Armenia’s nuclear power plant. How would you react to this announcement of Azerbaijan?-They are obviously desperate for attention. No-one in their right mind would contemplate carrying out such an attack, Azerbaijan itself would suffer dramatic consequences, as would Turkey, and their lands become uninhabitable for centuries. But it also shows again a point I just made: Azerbaijan is a sick system and a sick society, they would no longer be restrained by the most elementary threads of human decency in their anti-Armenian madness. They urgently need to be sanctioned by the international community. But the good thing is: after Baku openly threatened a crime against humanity, every observer of the situation should now understand why Azerbaijan has refused international monitoring of the border between it and Armenia and Artsakh. It should be abundantly clear to everyone that Azerbaijan is the aggressor, has been the aggressor and will remain the aggressor.-Turkey did not remain indifferent towards the tensions on Armenia-Azerbaijan border. The president, foreign and defense minsters of Turkey made statements in support of Azerbaijan. How would you comment on the behavior of Turkey during those days and what can be the reason for such a behavior by Turkey?-Oh, Turkey is active on all the wrong fronts right now. With regard to Armenia, the Republic of Cyprus, Greece. Of course it will notionally stand by Azerbaijan no matter what happens, because its supposed patronage of that state is about the only patch of geopolitical relevance which Erdogan has left. Not to mention the total dependence on Azerbaijan for energy, as Turkey would no longer be able to afford anything else than Azerbaijani oil and gas which they get virtually for free. Azerbaijan sort of helps Turkey avoid bankruptcy after the totally erratic policies of Erdogan brought his country to the brink of economic collapse. But only as long as it stands in unconditional support of Baku. The funny thing is that in Azerbaijani-Turkish relations, it is really now Azerbaijan calling the shots. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1022978.html?fbclid=IwAR3QiVGqIyTRBDMkQZNyafd6_hweFf99QLSPYhoQp41qDEDcegBm8oq2QQg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from the point of view, the OSCE Minsk Group will have an opportunity to be more actively involved in that process’’. Speaking about the tool of establishing direct contact between Armenian and Azerbaijani servicemen proposed by PM Pashinyan, the MP noted that the direct contact will in many circumstances give an opportunity to avoid from incidents which can take place when the sides have no deliberate intention to violate the ceasefire. Vardanyan also thinks that this tool can raise mutual confidence between the sides and become an important tool to avoid misunderstandings. ‘’But it’s hard to say if Azerbaijan will agree to given the military rhetoric in Azerbaijan’’, he said.Referring to the firing at the civilians by Azerbaijan, Vardanyan expressed confidence that the recent incidents on the border with Armenia, as well as during the April war and the contact line in general, are just targeted attacks by Azerbaijanis against civilians, which can be assessed as not a side effect of the clashes, but a serious violation of the Geneva Convention or crimes against humanity.‘’The countries selling arms to Azerbaijan must clearly understand that they should set preconditions of in which conditions and how those arms should be used’’, he said.The MP also noted that the Minsk Group has no alternative and Armenia has always emphasized the necessity of the negotiations under the auspices of the Minsk Group and these negotiations should go on.Referring to the recent developments on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, he said, ‘’We once again reaffirmed that no one should speak in the language of threats or use of force with Armenia or Artsakh. We reaffirmed our readiness to continue this process with peaceful negotiations. And we also showed that Armenia is capable to protect its borders and guarantee the security of the Republic of Artsakh and its population’’.Reporting by Anna Grigoryan, Editing and translating by Tigran Sirekanyan https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1022979.html?fbclid=IwAR2UUfS06iQ06zcA3fCO6ypvY0nHHzHmtzCPoJIHBc2TQGbMjcMbOEowMGY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 TheTimesofIsrael.com Strange Bedfellow Sleeping with Azerbaijan JUL 27, 2020, 10:01 AM While searching the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) website, there appears no English or Hebrew statement, that I could find, regarding Israel’s position on the recent fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Indeed, it is not a requirement for MFAs to make statements on all world affairs. Nearly always MFAs when issuing statements on upsurges in fighting or conflicts tend to condemn violence and urge all sides to stay restrained. Sometimes saying nothing is better than living with the alternative. Israel Hayom, purported to be Israel’s most widely-read newspaper, ran a piece entitled, “Israel must support Azerbaijan, especially now,” claiming Azerbaijan, is “more than just an ally.” Even though this article is an opinion piece, why would Sheldon Adelson’s Israel Hayom feel the need to publish an article supporting Azerbaijan’s efforts in a border skirmish with Armenia? Adelson doesn’t appear on the surface to have any specific interest in Azerbaijan, but his newspaper has published many pro-Azerbaijan/anti-Armenian articles. What could “especially now” infer? We don’t know for sure, and further intriguing is the claim that Azerbaijan is more than an ally of Israel. Adelson’s Israel Hayom claims Azerbaijan supplies about half of Israel’s crude oil supply. It’s not as if Israel can’t purchase oil on the world market without Azerbaijan. I point to the US as a net exporter of oil. The article’s author, Rachel Avraham, a political analyst, claims, “According to unverified reports in the foreign media, Azerbaijan helped Israel in its operation to smuggle the nuclear archive from Iran.” Perhaps this explains Adelson’s penchant for supporting Azerbaijan. Adelson also reportedly urged US President Trump to nuke Iran. One wonders what other role has Azerbaijan had in Iran, especially over the past couple of months. This entire Azerbaijani-Iranian dynamic is interesting, in light of this covert intrigue. The 2019 bilateral trade numbers between Iran and Azerbaijan are north of half a billion dollars, with about 1,400 Iranian entities working in Azerbaijan. Azernews reported that “The trade turnover between the two countries is planned to reach $2 billion in short term perspective.” Just a few days ago, the anti-Semite Islamist President of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, in a major address reiterated Turkey’s support for Azerbaijan within the context of a veiled threat to complete what their ancestors began, “this time in the Caucasus.” Erdogan was alluding to the Turkish genocide of the Armenians. Ironically, Turkey denies this genocide, but in times of opportunity, it remembers! We have the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense threatening to blow up Armenia’s nuclear power station following a series of military defeats and loss of territory to the Armenians. We have Turkey, Israel’s old best Muslim friend, threatening to finish their genocide of the Armenians. We have Sheldon Adelson unconditionally supporting Azerbaijan, Israel’s newest Muslim friend. Is there no measure of responsibility when somebody as influential as Adelson declares unconditional support for whatever state? There would be an international outcry if an enemy of Israel threatened to blow up the Dimona nuclear facility. While Adelson’s publication didn’t say it supported the threat to detonate the Armenian nuclear plant, his publication blindly supported the state that did!

Yervant1 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Asbarez.com Minsk Group Co-Chairs Decry Efforts to ‘Unilaterally’ Change Settlement Process July 25, 2020 http://asbarez.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/cochairs.jpgOSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Yerevan in 2019 Mediators Again Fail to Condemn Baku’s Aggression In a fresh announcement on Saturday, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs called for resumption of Karabakh settlement talks, but also, without specificity, said recent statements criticizing their joint efforts or seeking “unilateral changes’ to the settlement process “are not conducive” to “constructive dialogue.” “The Co-Chairs note that recent public statements criticizing the joint efforts of the co-chairing countries, and/or seeking unilaterally to establish new ‘conditions’ or changes to the settlement process format are not conducive to resuming a constructive dialogue,” said the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Igor Popov of Russia, Stéphane Visconti of France, and Andrew Schofer of the U.S. and the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office (PRCIO) Andrzej Kasprzyk in a statement. One can surmise that Co-Chairs’ warning was meant for Azerbaijan, whose president, Ilham Aliyev, on numerous occasions this month, has criticized the international mediators efforts calling them “meaningless” and has questioned their assessment that the Karabakh conflict cannot be resolved by military force, threatening to end the negotiations. Aliyev also pledged that Baku will do whatever it takes to not only “liberate” Artsakh but also Armenia, which he calls ancient Azerbaijani lands. Less than a week after he challenged the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Azerbaijani forces launched a brazen attack on Armenia’s Tavush Province making several failed efforts to capture the Anvakh military outpost at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Yet the Co-Chairs, once again, failed to call a spade and spade, and employed their usual false parity in addressing Azerbaijan’s serious breach of not only the ceasefire but also the sovereign borders of Armenia. The mediators welcomed the relative stability along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and appealed to the sides to take advantage of this and prepare for “serious negotiations.” “The Co-Chairs stress once more that refraining from provocative statements and actions, including threats or perceived threats to civilians or to critical infrastructure, is essential during this delicate period,” said the Co-Chairs and PRICO. “The Co-Chairs and PRCIO express appreciation for the strong engagement by leaders of international organizations including the United Nations, OSCE, and European Union, whose calls for strict adherence to the ceasefire and renewed dialogue under the auspices of the Co-Chairs have aligned with and supported the Co-Chairs’ own intensive mediation efforts. We note as especially positive the impartiality of such interventions, which have urged the sides to focus on reducing tensions rather than on assigning to others the sole responsibility of causing the recent escalation. The Co-Chairs welcome the growing international consensus calling for de-escalation and a swift return to negotiations in good faith without conditions,” added the mediators. “The Co-Chairs are prepared to meet with the leaders or their designees at any time. The Co-Chairs also emphasize that OSCE monitors should return to the region as soon as possible,” said the mediators. “The Co-Chairs reiterate that political will to achieve a lasting peaceful settlement is best demonstrated by refraining from maximalist positions, adhering strictly to the ceasefire, and abstaining from provocative statements and actions.” http://asbarez.com/195711/minsk-group-co-chairs-decry-efforts-to-unilaterally-change-settlement-process/?fbclid=IwAR2QGvDcwXBmUotblWeu2QtNcMkkxQCegpJbXt0RbSO0R5e6trhDjwFw7sk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 JAM NewsJuly 28 2020 Armenian PM gives sweeping interview on conflict with Azerbaijan – details 28.07.2020JAMnews, Yerevan Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan does not believe Russia will get involved in the conflict with Azerbaijan:“Nobody hopes that Russia will become a party to the conflict, since Moscow is the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, it is a mediator [in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict – JAMnews]. I think Russia had a constructive role (in achieving the truce) and should act as a mediator, along with the US and France.”In an interview with the Russian edition of RBK, Nikol Pashinyan spoke about the latest military exacerbation on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. He openly stated that Turkey was the instigator of the conflict, which, in his opinion, is a global threat to security in the region. Stabilization at the borderPashinyan said that during the flare up of violence on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, all three co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group (Russia, France and the United States) played an important role in the issue of stopping the hostilities and establishing relative calm. Nevertheless, Nikol Pashinyan highlighted the role of Russia:“Our interests are very much the same. Here the issue of not only regional, but also global security is played out, because the situation in our region is so tense that escalation can lead to global clashes.”PM Pashinyan made this statement against the background of active discussion in Armenia of Turkey’s expressed support for its ally Azerbaijan. While Russia, being a strategic ally of Armenia, limited itself only to traditional appeals.Pashinyan also commented on the fact that during the hostilities on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, Armenia did not appeal to the Russia-led CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) military bloc, of which it is a member, for help. He noted that the Armenian Armed Forces coped with the situation on their own and did not need external help. Why Azerbaijan shelled Armenia, not KarabakhNikol Pashinyan said that it is difficult for Azerbaijan to attack Nagorno-Karabakh, given there are many Azerbaijani settlements in the area next to the line of contact. In addition, according to Pashinyan, the Azerbaijani military authorities are aware that the line of contact of troops in Karabakh is equipped with video surveillance systems. And they record any movement of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces:“They attacked where the border is not so saturated with video surveillance systems. By the way, there is only one Azerbaijani village in this direction, and there are a lot of Armenian villages. I think this explains why the attack took place in this direction.”Pashinyan said he believes Azerbaijani President Aliyev is forced to use force, especially since he promised his citizens to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh problem by military means:“Over the past 10 years, the Azerbaijani government has spent several billion dollars under the pretext of developing the Armed Forces. From time to time, [President of Azerbaijan] Aliyev has to explain why this money was not spent on improving the well-being of the people, if the conflict is not resolved by force.”Clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in MoscowAmid the military escalation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, riots erupted in the Russian capital last week. Videos of two diaspora communities attacking each other were disseminated on social media. The Prime Minister of Armenia stated that the instigators of the clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in Russia were not Armenians.The situation in Moscow, according to Pashinyan, arose due to the fact that at first there was a blockage of Armenian goods in Russian supermarkets owned by Azerbaijani businessmen. Then the clashes began:“This is nothing more than a continuation of the rhetoric of hatred that has been used in Azerbaijan over the past 15 years. Let’s compare the rhetoric of all the authorities in Armenia – with the rhetoric of the Azerbaijani government. We will see that there is no hatred in the rhetoric of the Armenian side. Yes, there are principles, there are some considerations, some ideas, but there is no hatred.”Pashinyan compared the recent events in Moscow with an attempt to destabilize the situation in Russia, turn it into an arena of interethnic conflicts.In this issue, Yerevan’s position, according to the prime minister, is unambiguous: one cannot succumb to these provocations, because the stability of Russia is a strategically important factor for Armenia:“All those people who live in Russia are obliged to comply with the laws and procedures of the Russian Federation. The behavior of the Azerbaijani side is not only unacceptable in the political and legislative aspect, but also from the moral point of view.” https://jam-news.net/russias-role-in-stabilizing-the-situation-on-the-armenian-azerbaijani-border-pashinyan-nagorno-karabakh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 AMN - Al Masdar NewsJuly 28 2020 Turkish drones used in attack against Armenian military: Russian mediaBy News Desk-2020-07-28 Photo of a Turkish-made Bayraktar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:25 P.M.) – Turkish attack drones were used against the Armenian military near the Azerbaijan border recently, the Russian online publication Avia.Pro reported, citing the Military Observer Telegram channel.The Avia.Pro report said Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 attack drone was used to launch airstrikes on Armenian territory, but the site was unable to provide an exact date and time. “According to Russian sources, the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack unmanned aerial vehicles launched air strikes on the territory of Armenia. The exact date and time of the use of Turkish drones remains unknown; however, it is reported that the military command of Armenia paid great attention to this issue, especially against the background of Turkey’s threats to occupy the territory of Armenia.”Quoting the Military Observer channel, Avia.Pro said: “Judging by the footage, one of the topics of the operational meeting at the Armenian Defense Ministry was the possible use of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.”Since the information was limited, it is not known whether or not it was Turkey or Azerbaijan operating these drones against the Armenian military.“It became known that Turkey had deployed at least six of its attack unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery, military, air defense systems, and even, according to some reports, militants from Syria, which may well indicate that the drones were used by the Turkish military, although at the moment there have been no statements in this regard either from Turkey or Azerbaijan,” Avia.Pro added.Neither the Armenian, Turkish, nor Azerbaijani defense ministries have commented on these claims.https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/turkish-drones-used-in-attack-against-armenian-military-russian-media/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Public Radio of ArmeniaJuly 28 2020 French Mayors express solidarity with Armenia, support peace in the Caucasus Mayors of a number of French cities have issued a statement expressing solidarity with Armenia and supporting peace in the South Caucasus, Nouvelles d’Armenie reports.“Our cities have a long-standing relationship of deep friendship with the cities and towns of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,” the French Mayors said.Noting that schools, a factory manufacturing Covid-19 masks, civilian infrastructures, emergency vehicles have all come under Azerbaijani shelling since the Azerbaijani troops undertook infiltration attempts on July 12, the Mayors expressed their support for the Armenian friends.They also voiced concern over the escalation of “violence unfolding before the eyes of the international community.”“We call on the French authorities to show firmness vis-à-vis the Baku regime, and to remind it of the fundamental principles of French policy, including the non-use of force, the right of peoples to self-determination and conflict resolution through negotiation,” the statement reads.The Mayors said that in the face of the rising bellicose rhetoric of the Azerbaijani authorities (the latest illustration of which is the threat to bomb the Armenian civilian nuclear power plant), the current dangerous military escalation, and the shadow of Turkey’s “Ottoman” expansionism, nothing would be worse for peace in the region than the failure to identify the aggressor, and to hold him to account.“We hope that the peace and security of Armenia and the whole region will be restored without delay,” they concluded.https://en.armradio.am/2020/07/28/french-mayors-express-solidarity-with-armenia-support-peace-in-the-caucasus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
