He firmly stressed that it was Azerbaijan who launched the attack.

The air raid siren doesn’t stop. They bombarded minutes ago again,” Minasyan said.Artsakh presidential foreign affairs advisor Davit Babayan said the Azeri forces delivered another strike on the Holy Savior (Ghazanchetsots) Cathedral in Shushi.“They again targeted Ghazanchetsots. This entirely fits in their style, because this is genocidal policy and a cultural genocide, because targeting a church is nothing else than targeting the Armenian value system,” he said.Ghazanchetsots is the seat of the Diocese of Artsakh of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Yervant1 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Armenpress.am Azerbaijan’s brazen speculation – denial of the attack against Ghazanchetsots Cathedral vs. facts SaveShare 19:52, 8 October, 2020YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8, ARMENPRESS. Ghazanchetsots Holy Savior Cathedral of Shushi town of Artsakh appeared under Azerbaijani strikes twice on October 8. Following the 1st strike, when the Azerbaijani military leadership understood that its crime against civilization will receive an international reaction, hurried to deny any links with it. But hours later the strikes again took place, unfortunately injuring international journalists, who were there to cover that unexplainable hate crime.The Azerbaijani side is trying to mislead the international community, saying that they have not bombed Ghazanchetsots Holy Savior Cathedral. Of course, lies, fake news and overt manipulations of the Azerbaijani officials do not surprise anyone in the recent period.It’s important for us to expose this lie, since it’s a crime against civilization.Facts:Azerbaijan carried out strikes against Ghazanchetsots Cathedral of Shushi and the published materials prove it. Following the strikes the Azerbaijani defense ministry announces that it has not targeted Ghazanchetsots Cathedral , but again strikes it minutes after the announcement.A number of journalists were injured as a result of the Azerbaijani strikes against the Cathedral. One of them, a Russian reporter, is in critical situation and is undergoing surgery. Reactions: Primate of the Artsakh Diocese, His Holiness Pargev. ‘’They are striking our spiritual values, despite the fact that we renovate Mosques. This is the handwriting of the ‘’Islamic State’’. Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. ‘’Condemning the act and assessing it as an act of extreme religious intolerance, Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin addresses the Pastors of churches, the international community and organizations, inter-church and inter-religious organizations to raise a decisive voice for the sake of stopping the bloodshed, protection of the right of the people of Artsakh to free and independent life and unconditional preservation of ancient religious-cultural heritage’’. Syrian-Russian journalist Abbas Juma. ‘’It’s an extremely important church for all Armenians. Of course, I greatly regret that this conflict starts to acquire religious nature. Azerbaijanis gave it a religious nature long ago and I can see it from the rhetoric in the social media. Many in Azerbaijan perceive it as a fight for the sake of Islam’’. Azerbaijan’s brazen speculationThe first announcement of the Azerbaijani side attempted to insinuate that probably it was the Armenian armed forces that struck the Cathedral. Without trying to understand the ridicule of the announcement, let’s see some facts.Capital of Artsakh Stepanakert was being heavily bombed from Shushi in 1992. The Azerbaijanis kept their ammunition in Ghazanchetsots Holy Savior Cathedral .Bellow is the footage of the 1st Lord's Prayer at Ghazanchetsots Cathedral following the liberation of Shushi.The boxes full of ammunition can be seen in the footage. Their kept the ammunition in the Cathedral because they knew that Armenians would never strike their own church and that’s why this wwas the safest place for them.Hero of Artsakh, Commander of Shushi liberation operation Arkadi Ter-Tadevosyan famous as Kamandos assessed the October 8 strike of Azerbaijani army as an act of a beast, atrocity.‘’ Ghazanchetsots Holy Savior Cathedral of Shushi is the symbol of Shushi, it’s our belief. When we were kept under fire from Shushi in 1990s, we were looking at that town with great love. What the adversary is doing, is an act of a beast. When peace come, we will again restore it’’, Komandos said. About the CathedralGhazanchetsots Holy Savior Cathedral of Shushi is an exclusive historical, cultural and spiritual heritage for South Caucasus.This Church is the center of Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It was built in 1868-1887. After Gandzasar, it’s Artsakh’s second most important spiritual center.Editing and translating by Tigran Sirekanyan https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1030904.html?fbclid=IwAR1fHp4Siyn5LsATs8OVPcM_RrmgxGxn6quDfillalwU-t_SbvOzbgPt89g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bombing the city and fire and pieces of metal were dropping on us like rain. Grisha Narinyan, an employee at Martuni city hall, who was showing us the places of previous attacks, died. He was 28 years old. I am thinking about him and his family every day. Grisha died, since he wanted the world to hear about the sufferings of his people. May he rest in peace with the three other civilians killed in that bombing’’, he wrote. ‘’My colleague Hermine, whom I greatly appreciate, fortunately was able to avoid injuries. If I understand properly, dozens of fragments had appeared inside my body’’, he wrote, adding that he is in the stage of recovery.‘’But I would be unable to write all this if there were not the people who save me in Martuni, Stepanakert, Yerevan and Paris. Some of them are famous, some are my friends, some were people whom I never knew. Among them there were residents of Martuni, who played a decisive role in the first minutes trying to take us to a safe place. I want to also thank my colleague reporters, who took me from there to the hospital of the town. I want to thank also my other colleagues who were there and informed Paris about the situation. I am particularly thankful to Hermine and Regis Gente. I want to thank the entire medical staff of Martuni hospital who allocated their time to save the lives of two foreigners at a time when their town was being bombed. I want to thank the people who took me from Martuni to Stepanakert hospital with an old-fashioned ambulance by a difficult-to-pass road. I know how much efforts the doctors of Stepanakert made for saving my life. I haven’t had time to learn their names yet, but I am deeply grateful to each of them. I am also deeply grateful to the authorities of Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia and France, who ensured our transportation by a helicopter to Yerevan. Of course, all this would be impossible without the role of the French President Macron, who publicly spoke about our case and did impossible to take us out, also without Foreign Minister of France Jean-Yves Le Drian’’, French reporter of Le-Monde Allan Kaval wrote.Earlier today a Russian reporter was critically injured by Azerbaijani bombing in another town of Artsakh, Shushi.

Yervant1 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 CIVILNET.AM 9 October, 2020 10:04 Facebook has cracked down on a massive network of fake activity connected to Azerbaijan’s ruling party. The site has removed more than 1,000 accounts and close to 8,000 pages. Weeks after firing the whistleblower who called for Facebook to take action against the fake users, Facebook removed the troll farm connected to Azerbaijan’s President.“This network appeared to engage individuals in Azerbaijan to manage Pages with the sole purpose of leaving supportive and critical commentary on Pages of international and local media, public figures including opposition and the ruling party of Azerbaijan, to create a perception of wide-spread criticism of some views and wide-spread support of others,” said Nathaniel Gleicher, head of Facebook security policy.In an explosive internal memo obtained by BuzzFeed News, Sophie Zhang said Facebook was ignoring manipulation of its platforms by corrupt political parties and heads of government.In Azerbaijan, Zhang found a large network of inauthentic accounts used to attack opponents of President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and his ruling New Azerbaijan Party.“This network posted primarily in Azerbaijani, and also in Russian and English.

Yervant1 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Asbarez.com ‘We are Prepared to Recognize Artsakh,’ Schiff Tells Armenia’s Ambassador October 8, 2020 http://asbarez.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/headshotA.jpgRep. Adam Schiff “I believe the United States should make clear to Azerbaijan and Turkey that if they persist in this violence instead of embracing a peaceful settlement of the conflict, we are prepared to recognize the Republic of Artsakh as an independent nation,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) pledging to work with the international community to “achieve the same.” Schiff made the statement during a conversation he had on Thursday with Armenia’s Ambassador to the United States Varuzhan Nersesyan about the continuing conflict in Artsakh. “We discussed Azerbaijan’s ongoing military campaign, aided and abetted by Turkey and the foreign fighters it is bringing in from Syria, and which has killed hundreds and displaced up to half of the civilian population of Artsakh. We also discussed Azerbaijan’s deliberate bombing of a historic Armenian Church, the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral, in the city of Shushi,” Schiff said. “For decades, through the OSCE Minsk Group, the United States has supported a peaceful, democratic, and negotiated resolution to the dispute surrounding Nagorno Karabakh. We have persisted in this policy even as Azerbaijan launched countless assaults and as their leadership frequently threatened war to redraw the line of contact by force,” added Schiff.” “Presidents Aliyev and Erdogan must understand that they cannot resolve a decades long border dispute though the indiscriminate use of force against civilians, and the United States will not stand idly by as they attempt to do so. The only resolution of this dispute can be through negotiations, not raining artillery and bombs on Armenian civilians,” said Schiff. Schiff urged decisive action by the Trump Administration in an interview on Wednesday with Asbarez Editor Ara Khachatourian over Zoom, saying the White House should condemn Ankara and Baku for threatening regional stability and security. Since Azerbaijan began indiscriminately bombing Artsakh on September 27, Schiff has joined House and Senate leaders in calling on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to cut U.S. military assistance to Azerbaijan and imposing sanctions against Turkey for its unequivocal support for Baku’s military aggression and destructive interference in the Karabakh conflict. He has also co-authored, along with Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) legislation to condemn Azerbaijan and Turkey for their military aggression against Artsakh and Armenia. https://asbarez.com/197358/we-are-prepared-to-recognize-artsakh-schiff-tells-armenias-ambassador/?fbclid=IwAR24a2fqTC65bttdbXH0Z2qeCrr9uY42Z-NPhtdopPItKAWbCj2b6BD-oXM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 MEDIA RELEASEJohn Alexander MP in Australian Parliament: Turkey Must Stop Egging on Azerbaijanhttp://www.anc.org.au/images/cms/1/news/JA-artsakh.jpgCANBERRA: Federal Member for Bennelong John Alexander MP has risen in Australia's House of Representatives chamber to call out Azerbaijan's attacks on Armenians in the Republics of Artsakh and Armenia and urge Turkey to "stop egging on" Baku's escalation of violence, reported the Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC-AU).In September 2019, Alexander became the first Federal Australian parliamentarian to visit the Republic of Artsakh, earning him a place alongside many local and international political leaders on the persona non grata blacklist of Azerbaijan's dictator, Ilham Aliyev, which he recently referred to as "an honour".The former world number eight-ranked tennis player reflected on Azerbaijan's Turkey-backed attacks on the Armenian Republics of Artsakh and Armenia, which began on 27th September and continue to today.He expressed regret that the people of Artsakh were now being subjected to cluster bomb attacks by Baku."Last year I had the honour of visiting Artsakh and saw the daily struggles that people in this area go through," Alexander said. "The people of Artsakh are resilient and determined, but just like any peace-loving nation, they should not be fearing for their lives from cluster bombs over their cities."Alexander also condemned Turkey's involvement in Azerbaijan's attacks, which has included open encouragement, the deployment of Ankara-backed Islamist jihadist mercenaries from Syria and air support."We must de-escalate this conflict now—not just the two countries on the ground, but more importantly, the other states on the periphery of this conflict who are encouraging it. Turkey must stop egging on Azerbaijan and escalating this conflict. Ongoing support from outside nations will only lead to more lives being lost," he said.Alexander concluded his Members Statement by calling for respect for the Republic of Artsakh's right to self-determination."While we must first stop this dreadful war, we must look towards a sustainable future where the people of Artsakh can live in peace and self-determination," he said.ANC-AU Executive Director, Haig Kayserian praised Alexander for accurately referring to the attacks as attacks, and calling out the perpetrators in Azerbaijan and Turkey."It has been frustrating for Armenian-Australians that our Government and media have tried to peddle Baku's preferred 'false parity' – suggesting both sides are somehow at fault – when referring to what is a blatant attempt by Azerbaijan and Turkey to rid Armenians from their indigenous lands," said Kayserian."Mr. Alexander's statement helps balance the ledger towards the truth, for which we are infinitely thankful and appreciative as a community."Last week, a statement from Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs Marise Payne expressed "concern" at the "renewed fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan around the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh", which the Armenian-Australian community said was "disappointing"."Australia should not be on the wrong side of history on this issue,” Kayserian told The Guardian on Tuesday. "Failing to call out the attack which instigated the ensuing violence emboldens the dictatorship of Ilham Aliyev in Azerbaijan to continue inciting Armenophobic war crimes against Armenia and Artsakh.""We call upon the Australian Government to call crimes by name, and this was an attack by Azerbaijan backed by Turkey, who have supported with high-level weaponry and the deployment of Islamist jihadists previously fighting in Syria."WATCH THE VIDEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yervant1 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 It defies logic, why Israel still has relationship with turkey? Greek ReporterOct 6 2020 Saudi Arabia Calls for Complete Boycott of “Everything Turkish”By Patricia Claus -Oct 6, 2020 In a sign of greatly heightened tensions between the Arab world’s greatest power and Turkey, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday called for a sweeping boycott of “everything Turkish” after a statement by Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the policies of Gulf countries. The Turkish President had charged some Gulf nations with pursuing policies that “destabilized” the region, according to a report from Gulf News. After previously calling for an embargo on Turkish products, this most recent volley on the part of Saudi Arabia contained much more forceful language and is seen as an extremely unusual move in the world of international relations between the nations. “The boycott of everything Turkish, whether on the level of import, investment or tourism, is the responsibility of every Saudi — trader and consumer — in response to the continued hostility of the Turkish government against our leadership, our country and our citizens,” stated Saudi Arabia’s Chamber of Commerce president Ajlan Al Ajlan in a Tweet. In a broadside meant to insult Saudi Arabia and perhaps other Arab states, Erdogan had angrily protested against the initial boycott by charging that some Gulf nations had targeted Turkey unfairly, saying in an address to the General Assembly “It should not be forgotten that the countries in question did not exist yesterday, and probably will not exist tomorrow; however, we will continue to keep our flag flying in this region forever, with the permission of Allah.”The previously warm relationship between Turkey and the Saudi state have soured since the brutal murder of Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi from Saudi Arabia. The veteran journalist was beaten, killed and dismembered inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in Ankara, Turkey in 2018.In his defense, Erdogan had stated flatly that the order to kill the journalist had initiated from “the highest levels” of the Saudi Arabian government. Although he had never charged directly that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was responsible for ordering the killing, the diplomatic relationship between the Saudi kingdom and Turkey has been on a downward trajectory since that time.Twenty individuals are already on trial in Turkey for the crime, and the country has also indicted six additional individuals from Saudi Arabia for Khashoggi’s murder, but they are not in the country and will stand trial in absentia.Five men had last year been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for the killing, but just weeks ago their sentences were overturned and commuted to twenty years’ imprisonment.In another sign of deteriorating relations with the rest of the Arab and Muslim world, Turkey had also recently decried the momentous decision on the part of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel. At that time, the Turkish President had given a stern warning that his country might be severing its own ties with the UAE.Turkey has itself had normal diplomatic relations with Israel for some time but the ties have become severely strained in recent years, after Erdogan sided with the Palestinians in disputes with the Israeli state.https://world.greekreporter.com/2020/10/06/saudi-arabia-calls-for-complete-boycott-of-everything-turkish/?fbclid=IwAR3sReogTrI8g5W8fe_PNPl9M9wtw0taWztnUPSeVW293gfV6ouu9fz5HJ4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
