Armenia becomes first country in the world to declare 3 August an official day of remembrance

The Republic of Armenia became the first country in the world to declare 3 August an official day of remembrance for the victims of the genocide against the Yazidi community in Shengal.

In Armenia, 3 August has been declared the official day of remembrance for the victims of the genocide against the Yazidi community. A corresponding bill by the Yazidi MP Rustam Bakoyan was adopted on Tuesday in the Armenian parliament. Bakoyan spoke of a historic decision and said that the Republic of Armenia was the first country in the world to officially declare 3 August a day of remembrance. Almost ten years have passed since the massacre of the Yazidi population in Shengal carried out by the Islamic State, but the genocide continues to this day.

“Genocide is a crime against humanity and the greatest crime of all,” said the deputy when presenting the bill in parliament. “It is a direct consequence of the false and inappropriate condemnation of the Armenian genocide in 1915. The fate of the Armenians and Yazidis are very similar and have always overlapped. In different phases of history, we have often found ourselves in the same situations."

The genocide of the Yazidi community in Shengal was recognized and condemned by the Armenian National Assembly factions in 2015 and by the National Assembly in 2018. "Preventing genocide and crimes against humanity is one of the priorities of Armenia's foreign policy," said Armenian deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisyan, adding that Armenia actively supports measures to prevent and condemn such crimes.

Femicide and genocide in Shengal

On 3 August 2014, ISIS attacked the Shengal region of Iraq with the aim of wiping out one of the oldest religious communities: the Yazidis. Through the systematic massacre, rape, torture, expulsion, enslavement of girls and women and the forced recruitment of boys as child soldiers, the Yazidi community experienced the 74th genocide in its history. According to recent estimates, around 10,000 people fell victim to massacres, and more than 400,000 others were driven from their homes. Over 7,000 women and children were abducted and 2,500 of them are still missing today. Therefore, this genocide in its form also represents a femicide.

“There is a threat of a continuation of the genocide”

The massacre was recognized as genocide by the German Bundestag in January 2023. In the adopted resolution, the Bundestag called on the Federal Government to promote the existing international and national structures for political and legal processing of the genocide and to consistently carry out and expand the legal prosecution of ISIS perpetrators in Germany. Yazidi associations in Germany reiterated this demand in an open letter a few days ago and warned against a planned Turkish invasion of the Shengal region. “Erdoğan is planning occupation - there is a threat of a continuation of the genocide” is the title of an appeal addressed to states, governments, parties and human rights organizations, which was signed by eight Yazidi interest groups.

"Is the West offering Armenia an insufficient proposal instead of genuine support?" Opinion

• JAMnews
  

• Yerevan

“As Armenia potentially faces a Berlin Crisis-scale blockade, Blinken and Power wish to provide Armenia with 2.5 percent of what they stand to lose. This is the diplomatic equivalent of giving a starving child in Sudan a peppermint candy and declaring it proof that the United States stands firm against hunger“, – Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, believes.

He speaks about the consequences of Armenia refusing cooperation with Russia and the threats to the country’s economy from “vindictive president Vladimir Putin.”

In the article about the aid to Armenia, intended to be provided by the US and the EU following the Brussels negotiations, Rubin asserts that offering Armenia $72.5 million annually is “lackluster.” As justification, he compares the offered amount with support given to other countries.

On April 5th, in Brussels, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, and EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell met with Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan. There was also a meeting between the Armenian prime minister and USAID administrator Samantha Power.

After the meeting in Brussels, secretary Blinken stated: “The United States will invest $65 million in Armenia’s economy, which is 50 percent more than the assistance provided two years ago.” Additionally, a joint statement was issued after the negotiations. It stated that the EU is prepared to provide 270 million euros over the next four years to support Armenia’s economy for promoting reforms and cooperation in all areas. The statement also mentioned, “The EU and the US intend to provide additional assistance to help Armenia mitigate risks, diversify trade, and strengthen economic and institutional resilience.”

Both the Armenian authorities and the expert community highly appreciated both the fact of the meeting and its results. The amount of the aid is not discussed in the country, much less criticized.

The discussion focuses on the support that Yerevan will receive, according to information published by the US Agency for International Development, as well as the opinion of Western experts on its effectiveness.

• “Armenia does not create dividing lines in the region” – Pashinyan
  
• Peter Stano: “The EU can assist Armenia, but it will not impose solutions”


• “Bold actions can lead to serious problems,” says Armenian economist

Details of USAID assistance

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has already released information on the assistance that will be provided to Armenia. The breakdown of the $33 million expenditure is as follows:

• $8.5 million for providing psychological and social support to displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh, addressing their housing issues,
  
• $8.6 million to support the security of the energy sector,


• $6 million to enhance food security,


• $2.5 million for human rights protection,


• $7.4 million to promote economic stability, digital governance, and regional integration.

USAID also intends to finance a “transport sector strategy aimed at regional integration,” which aligns with the Armenian government’s “Crossroads of Peace” initiative.

The announcement states that within this strategy, research will be conducted on how Armenia can integrate into global trade and transportation networks in the South Caucasus. This will not only promote trade between Armenia and its neighbors but also create new job opportunities and consequently increase income across the region.

Commentary

The European Union has promised to allocate Armenia €270 million over the course of four years, which is approximately $290 million, notes Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

“To offer Armenia $72.5 million per year suggests a lack of seriousness. It is one-third of what the United States gives the Central African Republic, even before adding the European contribution to that country, and just slightly more than aid to Moldova, a former Soviet state with roughly the same population,” Rubin asserts.

According to the expert, instead of genuinely supporting Armenia’s shift towards the West, the State Department and USAID are offering only a small financial aid package.

Rubin states that they are also attempting to “appease Azerbaijan,” including through aid. He points out that since 2021, the State Department and USAID have increased aid to Azerbaijan by over 1100 percent.

“Azerbaijan has reportedly received more than one arms delivery per day, flying in advanced weaponry from both Israel and Pakistan. Such a buildup comes not only after Azerbaijan uprooted and expelled Nagorno-Karabakh’s indigenous Armenian population, but also as it continues to attack Armenia proper and occupy Armenian land,” Rubin emphasizes.

Rubin underscores that “Armenians in the United States should compare the US-European offer with aid accompanying other peace processes“:

• Egypt receives about $1.3 billion annually in addition to the Camp David Accords, and Israel receives even more;
  
• when North Korea signed the 1994 Agreed Framework, Washington provided it with over $400 million in aid.

“Blinken and Power should not expect plaudits for their aid package but rather opprobrium, because they show how unserious they are,” Rubin believes.

In his view, a storm is brewing in the Caucasus, Armenia faces an existential threat from Azerbaijan and Turkey, as well as economic threats from Russia.

Seventy percent of all money transfers to Armenia ($5.7 billion) come from Russia. Additionally, 40 percent of all exports from Armenia go to Russia, which is also the main supplier of gas, the analyst reminds. And in these circumstances, according to Michael Rubin, Yerevan is being offered very little assistance compared to what the country stands to lose.

“After Russia’s Nagorno-Karabakh betrayal and its overt efforts to interfere violently in Armenian politics, Armenians deserve real democracy, security, and partnership,” the expert stated.

Armenian PM defends decision to give four villages to Azerbaijan

Nikol Pashinyan urges calm after making concessions in attempt to avoid war with his country’s heavily armed neighbour

Patrick Wintour in Yerevan

Nikol Pashinyan, the Armenian prime minister facing four days of protests against his decision to hand four villages to Azerbaijan, has urged Armenians to recognise that the way the issue is handled will determine the viability of the future peace process with its neighbour.

In an interview with British journalists in his office, Pashinyan, the leader of Armenia’s velvet revolution in 2018, said the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan “need to convert the theoretical peace agenda into an actual peaceful reality”.

The two countries had been in a decades-long conflict since the 1990s when in September 2023 a lightning military offensive by Azerbaijan saw it take control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region that had been under ethnic Armenian control. Those dramatic events were followed by the speeding up of talks on a peace agreement between the two sides to stabilise relations.

The deal for the villages, a precursor to a wider agreement on borders between the two countries, has been praised by international diplomats as a landmark moment, but Pashinyan knows he risks losing domestic popular support if he makes what his people regard as too many unilateral and unreciprocated concessions.

He said that although the negotiated handover of the villages may be seen as a local matter, “the quality of implementation of these local agreements will increase or decrease trust in the peace agenda and the feasibility of peace”.

Praising the negotiators of the deal, he said: “They’ve tried, molecule by molecule, to build trust, to build confidence, and if treated delicately and with care, it can develop. And if not treated with care, it may fall apart.”

The potential for the border dispute turning into a wider dispute drawing in Russia, Iran and Turkey across the Caucasus is real, Pashinyan’s aides acknowledge.

He had warned local villagers the alternative to a deal was war, and he knows in any conflict Armenia faces an overwhelming arms deficit. The former Soviet republic had been on the military back foot for at least five years when Azerbaijan advanced into Nagorno-Karabakh and was unable to prevent more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians being forced out of the region. Russia, which had peacekeepers deployed in the territory, did not intervene to prevent Azerbaijan’s advance and Russian troops are now leaving altogether.

Pashinyan is trying to build alliances with Europe and the US in what he describes as an attempt to diversify foreign and security arrangements.

“The Republic of Armenia is ready to be as close with the European Union as the European Union sees possible,” he said. “At the moment, we seem to be moving in this direction because, very importantly, this is a public process. Transparency is of the utmost importance for us.”

But his drive to protect Armenia by building new alliances and seeking a peace settlement with Azerbaijan may fail if Azerbaijan abandons the lengthy peace talks in favour of land grabs. Azerbaijan has an 80% to 20% military advantage over his country, Pashinyan said.

The current domestic backlash is focused in Armenia’s northern Tavush region, where the government agreed on Friday to return four abandoned villages it had occupied since the 1990s to Azerbaijan as the start of a wider process to agree their mutual borders.

Former residents of two of the villages, Baghanis and Voskepar, have several times blocked the highway that connects Armenia with Georgia, and tried to prevent the removal of landmines. They resent suddenly being put on the frontline, but the two countries are committed to delimitation and demarcation of their states based on the borders that existed in 1991 at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Pashinyan, defending his strategy for peace, said Armenia had shown itself to be candid and sincere, and was seeking to defend the territory of Armenia. “Beyond the internationally recognised borders, Armenia has no aspirations, no claims, and we hope that in the border delimitation process, the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia will be restored,” he said.

He called for realism about what the Armenian armed forces could achieve. “I was approached by a woman who was forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, and she asked how realistic is it that we will have a possibility to go back to Nagorno-Karabakh and she said: please give me a direct and candid answer. I told her given the perceptions that prevail, I do not consider it realistic.

“I cannot lie to you, because if it were realistic, then the displacement from Nagorno-Karabakh would not have happened.”

He said Armenia was doing its best to house and find jobs for the Nagorno-Karabakh refugees, but the cost was estimated at €1.5bn (£1.3bn) over 10 years. He also revealed his anger that Russia had rendered the regional security pact the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) meaningless by repeatedly refusing to prevent Azerbaijan’s invasions into Armenia. He said Russia had in effect admitted the CSTO had “no zone of responsibility” in Armenia.

Armenia has currently frozen its membership. Pashinyan said: “If things continue the way they are, if the political statements continue, then that line will be crossed, and resuming participation in the CSTO will then be rendered impossible in practice.”

Territorial handover stokes protests in Armenia, celebrations in Azerbaijan Armenian concession aims to hasten border delimitation and finalization of peace deal. Apr 22, 2024

The more moves Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan makes to forge peace with Azerbaijan, the more he seems at war with a significant portion of his constituents.

Pashinyan’s latest move, completing the return of four disputed border villages to Azerbaijan, has sparked ongoing protests in Armenia. The protests erupted shortly after the handover deal was finalized April 19, and show no signs of abating. The two countries framed the move as necessary to conform to a 1991 pact, known as the Alma-Ata declaration, which fixed the former Soviet Union’s borders that existed at that time.

The four disputed villages – Baghanis Ayrim, Lower Askipara, Kheyrimli, and Gizilhajili – were on the Azerbaijani side of the border and occupied by Armenian forces in the early 1990s during the first Karabakh War, which concluded in 1994 after the signing of the Alma-Ata declaration.

A joint statement issued by the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministries said the two states would work to delimit the sections of the border where the four villages are situated by July. After that, work would proceed to fix the dividing line along other disputed sections of their mutual frontier. Azerbaijan had set the return of the disputed villages as a precondition for the finalization of a comprehensive peace deal. Four other patches of land, exclaves of one of the states that is surrounded by the territory of the other, remain in dispute and will be addressed at a later, unspecified date.

Since Armenia suffered a crushing defeat in the second Karabakh War, which ended with Azerbaijan’s expulsion of over 100,000 Karabakh Armenians last fall, Pashinyan has had little leverage in his negotiations with Azerbaijan. His pragmatic approach to border delimitation and a lasting peace have stoked discontent at home. Opponents contend the prime minister is giving up too much without getting anything in return.

Pashinyan has tried to pitch the handover as a historic step forward toward peace. “I wouldn’t want us to overestimate what happened, but I also wouldn’t want us to underestimate it, because it is very important to record that, in fact, for the first time, Armenia and Azerbaijan have resolved an issue around the [negotiating] table,” Pashinyan told journalists April 20. He also mentioned that Russian peacekeepers would depart from a base in Armenia’s Tavush Province once the border delimitation process was completed.

Despite Pashinyan’s efforts to put a positive spin on developments, the handover has unsettled Armenian society. Government critics in Yerevan say the handover weakens Armenian national security, by allowing Azerbaijani military forces to take up positions nearer to strategic chokepoints. Meanwhile, residents in the affected areas have mounted non-stop protests, including the blockage of a major highway. The road remained blocked on April 22. Others are disgruntled that the handover deal does not address the issue of Armenian villages occupied by Azerbaijan in northeastern TavushProvince.

Tigran Grigoryan, Yerevan-based political analyst who heads the RegionalCenter for Democracy, suggested on X that the Armenian government was being conned.

“Armenia made another unilateral concession without even agreeing with Baku on specific maps,” he wrote in one April 20 post. “The reference to the Alma-Ata declaration is there for face-saving purposes. Baku is not interested in delimitation; it has very specific goals and will continue pressing to achieve them.”

The initial response has been markedly different in Azerbaijan. State media lavished praise on Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev while residents in border areas, including Gazakh, took to the streets to celebrate the news.

“He [Aliyev] took the villages back without a war, without a single bullet, without a drop of blood. May God let him live longer,” a displaced resident of one of the four returned villages, Baghanis Ayrim, said.

Public television gave most of the credit for the handover to Aliyev. Similarly, a prominent news agency, Report.az, published an editorial that described recent developments as a “unique gift of President Ilham Aliyev to the people, who has united the lands of Azerbaijan step by step.”

Armenia and Azerbaijan edge closer to a peace deal

Armenia and Azerbaijan last week announced they had agreed on the process of demarcation of their border in the Tavush region that will result in the return of four villages that had been under Armenian control since the conflict in the 1990s to Azerbaijan. The agreement is being seen as a milestone event that will greatly contribute to finalising the process leading towards the signing of a peace agreement between the two countries, who have been in conflict for more than three decades.

The agreement comes after months of negotiations, and controversy, including some opposition from Armenian residents in the proximity of the four villages.

On 19 April, it was announced that the eighth meeting of the Committee on Demarcation and Border Security of the State Border between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan and the State Committee on the Demarcation of the State Border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia was held under the chairmanship of Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafaev.

The two sides announced an agreement based on the following points:

• At the initial stage of the demarcation process, the Parties have preliminarily agreed on separate sections of the border line, directly Baghanis (AR) - Baghanis Ayrum (AR), Voskepar (AR) - Ashagh Askipara (AR), Kirants (AR) - Kheirumli (AR) and Berkaber (AR) - between the settlements of Kizil Hajil (AU) in order to conform to the legally established inter-republican border that existed at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union.


• It was decided that the description of the given sections of the border line will be drawn up taking into account the specification of the coordinates made as a result of geodetic measurements on the site, which will be formulated in the corresponding Protocol-description, which must be agreed and signed between the Parties by 15 May 2024


• It was agreed that the Parties will apply to their Governments to take measures for the simultaneous and parallel deployment of their border guard services in the agreed sections of the border. They also agreed that until the full completion of the demarcation process, the parts of the agreed border line mentioned in the Protocol-description will be considered demarcated.


• In parallel, an agreement was reached to complete the work on the agreement on the draft regulation on the joint activities of the Commission on the Demarcation and Border Security of the State Border between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan and the State Commission on the Demarcation of the State Border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia by 2024. July 1 and start the process of its domestic agreement and approval in accordance with the procedures and requirements established by the legislation of the Parties' states.


• The parties have agreed that they will be guided by Alma Ata's 1991 resolution in the demarcation process. The parties also agreed to enshrine this fundamental principle in the draft of the Regulations (if in the future the Agreement on the establishment of peace and interstate relations between RA and the Republic of Azerbaijan provides for other regulations, then the relevant provisions of the Regulations will be aligned with the principles defined by the Agreement).


• It was agreed, after the approval of the Regulations by the Parties, to agree on the sequence and continue the process of demarcation of all remaining sections of the border, including issues related to enclaves and exclaves.

A protocol was signed summing up the results of the meeting.

There are of course many small details that will have to be ironed out later, but the fact that the sides have agreed the basic parameters, and especially their re-affirmation that they will "be guided by Alma Ata's 1991 declaration in the demarcation process" is a huge step forward.

No wonder that the international community in the last few days have lined up to congratulate the two sides on their success and to nudge them forward to complete the process of signing a peace agreement between them. Seasoned observers now see the signing of such an agreement as being truly within reach.

Of course, there will be those who for one reason or another will not like these developments and will try to spoil the process. Armenia and Azerbaijan must remain focused on overcoming any last obstacles, and on its part, the international community must also remain focused in helping them do so as a priority.

Armenian Police Detain Dozens in Anti-Government Protest in Yerevan

Thu Apr 25 2024

YEREVAN, Armenia: Armenian police detained dozens of individuals participating in an anti-government protest in Yerevan late on Wednesday, as reported by local news sources. Russia’s Interfax news agency cited police figures, putting the number at 96 detainees.

The protesters had blocked traffic in the city center and reportedly refused to comply with police orders, leading to the forceful dispersal of the rally, according to News.am.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has faced domestic criticism following an agreement to cede several border areas to Azerbaijan as part of a peace deal. This decision has sparked discontent among segments of the Armenian population.

Armenia, a treaty ally of Russia, has traditionally been closely aligned with Moscow in the South Caucasus region. However, bilateral relations have strained recently due to Yerevan’s efforts to strengthen ties with the West and its criticism of Russia’s role in the conflict with Azerbaijan.

Furthermore, Armenia has sought to distance itself from Moscow’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, contributing to the evolving dynamics in the region.
