Komandos: Aliyev heard about Ani’s intention to go to the frontline and signed a truce (video)

17:39 | April 8,2016 | Politics


A large and versatile game is being played over Nagorno-Karabakh, says Major-General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, a prominent Karabakh war veteran known as Komandos.

“If we ever agree to cede any area, it will mean we allow the enemy to come nearer and kill us easily. This is the ideology of Pan-Turkism and we all know about it,” he said.

Russia announces that Armenia is its strategic ally while Azerbaijan is a strategic partner. “Now you can realize yourselves which of the parties Russia supports.” Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan said.

He is delighted and encouraged to see the readiness of our people, especially when he saw girls willing to go to the frontline.

The Karabakh war veteran known then recalled an incident: after her father had gone to fight on the border Ani came to me and asked me to take her to the frontline. “I called all female representatives and asked them to applaud to Ani. I said Aliyev was scared after hearing about Ani’s decision to go to the Artsakh frontline and hurried to sign a ceasefire agreement with us,” Mr Ter-Tadevosyan said.

Speaking about the sale of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan, Komandos said when clinching a deal with Russia Azerbaijani cheated its strategic partner promising not to use the firearms against Karabakh.

Russia is our strategic partner, but had better not sell weapons to Azerbaijan, President says


We have never been against deployment of peacekeepers in the Karabakh conflict zone, but we think the issue should be solved completely and finally, Armenian President Serzh sargsyan said in an interview withDeutsche Welle.

“We have expressed the willingness to sign a corresponding document that would envisage a comprehensive settlement of the conflict, including deployment of peacekeepers between the two parties, but Azerbaijan denies the proposal,” teh Armenian President says.

As for Russia’s stance on the conflict, President Sargsyan said: “We’ve never said Russia is our patron, and any country will hardly ever be our patron. Russia has never played the role for us that Turkey plays for Azerbaijan.”“Russia is our strategic partner, but we’re openly saying that we stand against the sale of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan,” the President added.

Once again Armenians in Armenia are doing their part, they can only play with the cards they have been dealt with. Once again the ball is in the diaspora's court. Aram and the rest of the ANCA better step the xxxx up and make something happen. Enough talk, it's been long enough and nothing has been done about the genocide nor this conflict.

No way the diaspora can do everything and what's necessery. There needs to be way better coordination between the gov. and the diaspora. Sadly inside Armenia they are too scared to give the diaspora power , since change (in politics) can come from there

French politicians demand imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan

20:37, 8 April, 2016

YEREVAN, APRIL 8, ARMENPRESS. Under the light of international negligence Azerbaijan made another attempt to occupy Nagorno Karabakh Republic by force. “Armenpress” reports, citing French Le Monde, a group of French MPs and senators characterized the recent days’ onslaught of Azerbaijan against Nagorno Karabakh this way. “Citizens of Nagorno Karabakh lost their lives due to the aspirations of the despot of Baku: Cities were bombed, children were killed on their way to school, civilians were murdered and vandalized by mercenaries who had arrived for that goal”, the French legislators mentioned.

They also underscore in their statement that lessons must be taken from this new aggression. “Who else is able to persuade the people of Karabakh to integrate into a country the regime of which wants to physically eliminate them? Independence and statehood has never been an end in itself for the people of Karabakh, but a means to live peacefully and safe in a democratic state that respects its citizens, is open in front of the world and looks forward”, reads the statement of the French legislators.

26 French parliamentarians that signed the statement called on the international community to take some responsibility for all these. They also submitted some proposals to the OSCE Minsk Group, based on which the negotiations will become maximally effective. First of all the French legislators find that recognition of Nagorno Karabakh Republic is necessary, which has been proving its viability and credibility. They also urge to return Nagorno Karabakh to negotiation table.

They also propose to set mechanisms investigating the ceasefire violations for ensuring effectiveness of the agreement, which is acceptable by Yerevan and Stepanakert but is declines only by Baku. Besides, Minsk Group Co-chairs are suggested to set an investigative commission, after which sanctions will be imposed on the aggressor.

François Rochebloine, René Rouquet, Valérie Boye, Sophie Joissains, Bernard Fournier, Michel Amiel, Nicolas Daragon and others have signed the statement.

That was pure BS. It definitely damaged the prestige of the NKR MoD.

I remember the twitter account of NKR Mod wrote "2000 lost (injured/Killed)''.

In the court of public opinion we now have everything we need. They cut heads off of 18 year old soldiers, take pictures of it, and execute and mutilate old people. They are dark skinned and dark eyed, and live "over there". They are bloodthirsty ISIS.

Americans have one thing that overrides all reason-- Christian evangelism, which explains the unwavering support of Israel. A simple oped compaign in the south and Midwest playing on the themes of the only Christian nation being assaulted by a barbaric "other" is enough to rile up the senators and representatives. Oil isn't as big an issue here anymore. Turkey is appropriately under assault as an ally. This is the tipping point. But the ANCA etc needs to pull this trigger. We have always been afraid to play the religion card, but it is powerful and true. We already have no friends in the neighborhood. We should speak the truth and rally the support we deserve.

Azerbaijan photoshop claiming to have captured Talish:

"Verified
Screenshot of Azeri news report (consistent with the continued falsification of the situation on the ground stating that Azerbaijan has captured a number of towns) complete with a photoshopped/videoshopped sign reading Asgere Rayon, Town of Talish - to justify the enormous casualty count on the Azeri side"
