Which grouping of troops may be surrounded in the Fizuli area: a dispute of experts on the situation in Karabakh

174

Armenian military personnel


During the armed conflict, the President of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic issued an order to confer a higher rank on the Minister of Defense. On the basis of the order of the NKR President Arayik Harutyunyan, the head of the Artsakh defense department, Major General Jalal Harutyunyan, became Lieutenant General.



It is noteworthy that this information was immediately reflected in their official accounts by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, the press secretary of the Armenian Ministry of Defense Shushan Stepanyan and other officials of the Republic of Armenia.

At the same time, opinions on this matter were divided. In Armenia and NKR themselves, many believe that conferring the rank of lieutenant general on the Artsakh defense minister will raise the morale of the military personnel at the front. Others believe that at the moment the assignment of military ranks is inappropriate - against the background of the most difficult situation at the front.

Meanwhile, the leadership of Azerbaijan reports that recently the troops managed to take control of 8 settlements in Fizuli and Khojavend regions. These are the villages of Karakolu, Karadagli, Khatunbulak, Bulutan, Teke, Tagaser, Melikyanli and Kemertuk (Azerbaijani names).



At the same time, military experts assess the situation in the south-eastern direction of the conflict in different ways, engaging in a kind of dispute. Some argue that the Armenian side deliberately surrenders small settlements, luring the enemy into the "cauldron".



Others oppose, noting that the NKR troops are leaving the territories, simply not being able to withstand the Azerbaijani onslaught, and therefore in the Fizuli region, the NKR group of troops may itself be surrounded. There is also an opinion that the forces that are concentrated in this direction can hardly be called a "group of troops."

This dispute in absentia continues, but so far in the southeastern direction, the Azerbaijani troops have a local advantage.

      Reading all this, I had a question. And on whose side is the public opinion of the audience of this resource? Armenia seems to be an ally in the CSTO, but a nominal ally, like the others, who did not recognize Crimea, did not help in 15 year with sanctions against Turkey, and de facto seized a piece of Azerbaijan. Moreover, the mood on the Armenian forums - "Russians are bad * you must save us and recognize Karabakh." Azerbaijan is not at war with us either, in fact they are right in this situation, but their friends are lousy, but I don't intend to forget that plane, and I consider it impossible to help Erdogan. The mood on the Azerbaijani forums is cautiously neutral, with a slight tinge of the same "Russians are bad *" but seasoned with a certain shade of fear that we will fit in. Hence the question. In your opinion, should we help one of the sides, or remain demonstratively neutral, and what outcome of the war seems to you most in line with our interests? My opinion is neutrality, but on the condition that the territory of Armenia will not be touched, and Turkey will not be in the war. One way or another, this question has been hanging for 30 years, if now everything ends one way or another, there will be more stability.

        You need to be for world peace, while not forgetting about the benefits of your own military-industrial complex (population). Accordingly, nothing strengthens friendship between peoples and trust in business like a timely prepayment

            From the very beginning of the conflict it was clear about the allies (“shooting down the F-16 of Turkey”, etc.), but about Russia, I don’t know, the country's main profits come from the sale of resources. In peacetime, the consumption of the population increases, respectively, there is an increase in production, as a result, the consumption of oil increases, along with its price. MIC is a nice bonus

                    So you cannot sell them with your own line - for your own sale NOW you need to make changes to them to become "original". In a few years, depending on the terms of the contract, yes, it will be possible to sell licensed

        Lousy friends? What criteria did you use to determine this? Azerbaijan Abused Friendship with Russia? Posters with "compliments" to Russia? Or did you buy weapons like the Armenians from others? Is 5 billion Russian weapons not enough? Did the Russians close schools? So what? It seems to me that you have never learned to distinguish between friends and enemies.

          On the downed plane and killed our pilot. Maybe our government is playing "partners" with them, but for me, as for the majority, a NATO country with a thousand-year history of war with us, and even daring to arrange an open act of war with us is an enemy. Therefore, I am more than wary of the friends of the enemy.

                  I think in this matter your last statement is closest to the truth. Interests are really different. If you look up the statistics, you will see that since 2015 the same tourist flow has decreased several times. And it is very difficult now to find a person in Russia who loves Turkey in its present form. What makes our government understandable, but I'm not sure that they are right. As for my personal opinion - I consider their danger very underestimated. Yes, today they are not our opponents militarily. That Turkey for 10 minutes and 50 warheads and they will not be able to oppose anything to this, they know very well about this and there is nothing to worry about. But tomorrow, if World War 3 happens in which we will suffer very much, or another revolution, with which our people periodically love to have fun, and I'm not sure that Turkish soldiers will not come to visit us. In all likelihood, along with Ukrainian. Considering the views prevailing in these countries among the radicals, namely, to cut out the unfaithful / damned Muscovites, and the fact that I live in the Kuban, just in the middle between these "partners", I personally would like us to remain strong forever, or so that we have time earlier...

        If this question had been asked 20 years ago, it would definitely be for the Armenians, now for no one, because then Azerbaijan and Yerevan were part of the USSR and the population was Soviet. But now everything is different, now there are just Armenians and Azerbaijanis, and both are worth each other, so our politicians do not have any emotions .... only the maximum benefit, political and financial. That radical Islam exported by the Turks to Baku, that soroscine in Armenia, as a cancer, and as a choice between lung or stomach cancer.

            Armenia did not recognize the NKR, and no one recognized it. There was a peace settlement plan, and there can be no two opinions, the aggravation began after a deliberate provocation, in which the parties to the conflict accused each other. But, of course, only one is to blame for the provocation.
            The problem of this aggravation of the conflict is that there is a division into two camps, it is difficult to maintain neutrality. And these are negative consequences and neither of the parties needs it, it may be necessary for some third party.

        "...On September 2, 1991, at a joint session of the Nagorno-Karabakh Regional and Shahumyan District Councils of People's Deputies, a Declaration was adopted on the proclamation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic within the borders of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region and the adjacent Shahumyan district of the Azerbaijan SSR [22]. On December 10, 1991, a referendum was held on the status of the NKR, 99,89% of the participants of which voted for its independence. This percentage was achieved due to the fact that the referendum was boycotted [23] by the Azerbaijani minority (23% of the total population) of the region. On January 6, 1992, the NKR parliament of the first convocation - the NKR Supreme Council - adopted the Declaration "On the State Independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic". In 1991-1994, a military conflict broke out between the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan, during which the Azerbaijanis ousted Armenians from the territory of the former Shahumyan region of the Azerbaijan SSR and part of Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic supported by Armenia established control over several regions of Azerbaijan adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh, and drove out the Azerbaijani population from there, which was qualified in 1993 by the UN Security Council as the occupation of Azerbaijani territory by Armenian forces. In 1992, in order to provide economic support to the former Soviet republics, the United States adopted the Freedom Support Act. The US Senate adopted the 907th amendment to the act, which prohibited the US government from providing assistance to Azerbaijan until Azerbaijan ends the blockade and military operations against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh...

Americans with their shale on horseback. who in the world needs these understates. they lived well within the USSR. lived well: they traded, stole .... Work is not their lot. When the Russians survived after the collapse of the USSR, everything fell into place. The factories stopped - they were plundered, sawn for scrap. Azerbaijan is saving oil. Terminals will explode, they will go abreks, but they will not work. In extreme cases, women will be driven to tea and tobacco. I'm not on anyone's side. I am on the side of RUSSIA. Until we see our benefits, we should not interfere with assistants on one side or the other.

                        Not everything is so sad, in principle, our economy and industry are alive, but on the whole I agree with you. The current government is normal for peacetime, and until 2008, everything was fine with expensive oil. But they didn't know what to do in truly deep crises, so out of habit they continued to make money. What we see today is the result of this process. About 14 years old - you must have heard about one curious call from a "neutral" country, after which the ready-to-launch plan of what you are talking about went under the rug. And this is also a consequence of playing by the rules. We need time. 15-20 years old. And the Emperor. Who does not care about laws, who cares about money, who cares about international law, the Geneva conventions and human rights. Do not give a damn only to the Power and the People. One who does not hesitate to send 10 million snickering officials to factories. Does not hesitate to prepare an army of 10 million people. Do not hesitate to take away ALL big business, and send its income to the treasury and not to your pocket.

Then yes, then there will be something to talk about ...

        In your opinion, should we help one of the sides, or remain demonstratively neutral, and what outcome of the war seems to you most in line with our interests?

        Neutrality and freezing of the situation for another 30 years.
        Or a peaceful settlement, with the annexation of Karabakh to Armenia, bringing in Russian peacekeepers and leaving them with a ground connection with Armenia, and demilitarizing the line of contact.

        Demonstrative neutrality (the CSTO has nothing to do with the NKR, a demonstration of Armenia's position on friendship and partnership), the maximum protraction of the conflict in the current situation, the creation of organizations on the territory of the NKR similar to the bearded Turkish people, a permanent threat to the gas transportation system of Baku

        Erdogan does not stand on ceremony with NATO members either.
        In response to Macron's remark that Turkey is no longer a partner in the Mediterranean, Erdogan advised Macron: "Don't mess with Turkey and the Turkish people."
        “You cannot teach us humanity,” Erdogan stressed, recalling the Algerian war for independence and the genocide in Rwanda, which led to more than a million deaths, whose blood, according to the Turkish leader, is in the hands of the French leadership.
        In 2017, Erdogan accused Berlin of supporting international terrorism and demanded to organize a trial for the German authorities.

        15 October 2020 16: 23
        So, what do we have today? Everything is going exactly as I predicted in the very first days of the fighting, after it became known about the full support of Azerbaijan by Turkey and its wide and successful use of drones to defeat the equipment of the Armenian forces in Karabakh. Aliyev takes an unambiguous position, and no Putin can do anything about it. And he is not capable, and he will not be. Talk about some peacekeepers and the cessation of fighting will remain talk in favor of the poor. Moreover, Azerbaijan will not allow any Russians in the role of peacekeepers. This is out of the question in Baku. Political support for Armenia is completely absent from both Russia and the West. Apparently, Pashinyan had some hopes to support the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh following the example of Kosovo. But after Crimea and Donbass, the EU policy towards such self-proclaimed territories, and even with the wars going on there, changed. And then there is also a UN resolution. And in vain Armenia has already grabbed seven regions there. This one was clearly redundant. In general, the Armenian Foreign Ministry miscalculated, or rather, displayed professional incompetence. Plus, the calculation for the support of Russia and the CSTO was also wrong. They will not come to the rescue, even if Baku will bomb Yerevan in response to attacks on Azerbaijani cities. Maximum, express indignation. Yes, and within the society there is fatigue from the zo-year tension in connection with the NKR. And the people, apparently, are not very eager to go to war. Young people do not want to die at the front, and no patriotism works today. An attempt to play the religious card and the Islamic threat to the Orthodox world and even to the entire Christian civilization from pan-Turkism and aggressive Turkey led by the new Sultan Erdogan, I think, will also have no effect. Pashinyan will not be able to organize and lead a new crusade.
        And an extremely negative effect on the image of Yerevan was affected by its shelling of peaceful cities on the territory of Azerbaijan with a completely non-precision weapon still of Soviet production. As a result, peaceful people died. Pashinyan organized the repeated crimes for himself the case for the tribunal. And he turned the West away from Armenia. And against this background, on the contrary, Aliyev looks very dignified. So the stick turned out to be double edged with these missile attacks on cities. And the unexploded Tochka-U missiles gave a special flavor to these strikes.
        And a separate story with the military and the army of Armenia. Here, too, a complete failure. What they did there for 30 years is called lying on the stove. We slept through everything. And they just missed the enemy's activities to modernize the army and prepare it for war. Apparently, not taking the Azerbaijanis seriously on the battlefield, they relied on the difficult mountainous terrain and created defensive positions. The General Staff of Armenia showed complete incompetence and did not take into account current trends and changes in the tactics and strategy of wars with the use of precision weapons, primarily drones. Preparing for the last war. And intelligence also did not work about the possible participation of Turkey and the degree of its support for Baku.
        As a result, there is a complete destruction of the equipment of the Armenian forces, depriving them of the ability to make up for losses in equipment and people, the Armenians lack material resources and ammunition for fighting, and the inability to wage long battles in the mountains. Well, and a drop in morale.
        So the defeat of the Armenian units in Nagorno-Karabakh is inevitable. There may be some hesitations, like at Hadrut, but these are nuances and will not affect the overall outcome of the war. A huge preponderance of forces and superiority in the latest weapons systems and their very effective use by the Azerbaijani army will affect.
        As a result, the matter will end with what it should have ended - the Armenian troops will leave Nagorno-Karabakh and the rest of the territory of Armenia. The control border will be restored along its entire length. Aliyev and Erdogan will be on horseback in the literal and figurative sense of the word. But Pashinyan will most likely leave his post, just as the Armenians will leave Nagorno-Karabakh. Relations with Russia will depend on the new prime minister and the mood in the Armenian society after the defeat. There are options.
        This is my impartial evaluative opinion.

          Actually, it's a very sensible calculation. If the Armenians lose, they may well turn their backs on Russia. They will urge us to leave the premises and invite NATO, i.e. Americans.

            I think that if the Armenians are against the Russian base, then I admit that this moment is stipulated so that Azerbaijan will give the go-ahead to place the Russian base in Khankendi (Stepanakert) itself, or in Lachin, and the Armenians will be punished for this once again, for example, by breaking the road from Zangilan to the Nakhchivan territory. But this is the case scenario if in Armenia they completely surrender to the West.

At the bazaars, the masters scream, and fight the Russians ??? Your country, protect it if it is dear to you. Call for reinforcements from France, USA. They brought Pashinyan to power. So you will meet the Turks face to face. Explain the essence of the historical moments. Just leave us alone. In the 90s you loved Rusaks "passionately" - the Russians barely carried their feet from the Caucasus. now it's your turn to make history (no longer according to Sores). - it's not about running around the Maidans with a backpack. So you will see all the corruption, who will run where from the country.

      All discussions of tactical issues are meaningless. No one will win - everyone has already lost, the United States will come, the "leaders" of the two "states" will be removed, they will hit Iran, then they will go down the mountain and slowly ... the whole herd.

      By the way, for all the seeming absurdity of your opinion, it still contains a rational grain, though not for the disputing parties, but for the United States.
      An analogy suggests itself following the example with the province of Kosovo in Serbia.
      Imagine that the Anglo-Saxons knocked out the Armenians, Turks and Azerbaijanis to start today's war, which is quite feasible, given that both Pashinyan and Aliyev and Erdogan are sufficiently controlled by the United States.
      The war is going on, there is no result, the peacekeeping efforts of Russia are ignored by the parties to the conflict, bloodshed among the civilian population is growing and at the same time no one wants to give in to anyone, since both sides are fueled by weapons and ammunition.
      And here on the "stage" are the United States with the EU in white gloves and with "pacifying" proposals, in the person of some Balts or Scandinavians - independence for Karabakh, all the regions around it to Azerbaijan, and Armenia has a donut in the form of future accession to the EU, NATO and help with money.
      It seems like everyone is satisfied, especially the Anglo-Saxons, because the next step will be the construction of a huge US military base on the territory of Karabakh with control over the entire Caucasus, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Russia and the Caspian Sea.

      So I regard your assumption as quite real to myself, although at first glance it seems to be nonsense. But this is only at first glance.

    At the same time, opinions on this matter were divided. In Armenia and NKR themselves, many believe that conferring the rank of lieutenant general on the Artsakh defense minister will raise the morale of the military personnel at the front. Others believe that at the moment the assignment of military ranks is inappropriate - against the background of the most difficult situation at the front.

    At Stalingrad, Paulus was also awarded the rank of field marshal. Hitler, when congratulating him, said that never in history had a German field marshal been captured.
    I don’t want to be ironic about the awarding of the title. I would like to once again remember the story and the words: "What was under the sun will be. Nothing new in this world."

          Having a little understanding of the B / D in the mountainous terrain, seeing the total superiority of Azerbaijanis in armament, I can say one thing ... the Armenians need a war, as they say, "nose to nose" with the ability to act in small groups, planning "tactical encirclements" with large forces. The Armenians have a chance to stop the B / D, only one - the number of 200 and 300 from the Azerbaijani side. Losing a few villages that only affect the info field is not a loss in the War. My opinion, somewhere will resist, if they are not surrendered by their own magpie.

    I doubt that the new rank that is given to someone in the high command somehow worried the fighters on the front line and somehow influenced the spirit of the fighters. Except for such cases as with Napoleon's marshals at the coronation, but then mercy was poured not only on them about the creation of the Empire.

    And the analogy with Paulus is a little out of place - he was awarded already when the 6th army was in the "cauldron" and in recent days, just with a special wording. Immediately, the advantage at the moment is probably on the side of Azerbaijan, but it is not yet known how far it is to a radical turn.

    Remember what Azerbaijan was like during the war in Chechnya ...
    If it doesn't make it difficult, in more detail, what was Azerbaijan like during the war in Chechnya?

    Supplied weapons? Did you supply the militants? Engaged in anti-Russian propaganda? Supported any sanctions against Russia? Didn't hand over the militants at the request of the Russian competent authorities? Etc. etc.?

    The only thing that comes to mind.
    When an officer of the Russian army, an Azerbaijani by nationality, while on vacation in Baku, asked his relative, a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, saying what Chechen wounded militants are doing in such and such a hospital, because we ourselves have the problem of separatism in Karabakh. The following dialogue took place:
    - Why are Chechen fighters being treated in Baku?

    - They are not militants. They are citizens of the Russian Federation and they OFFICIALLY crossed the border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Azerbaijan, if at the same time the Border Troops of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation did not have ANY QUESTIONS for them, then what questions can we have? They receive PAID medical services, there are no problems with payment, then what complaints can we have against them?

    - But they are militants?

    “They claim that civilians became victims as a result of the fighting, and we have no reason not to believe them, since their Russian border guards and the FSB let them through the border, and did not detain them.

    - Well, this is demagoguery, they could give a bribe, bribe ...

    - If so, then it is a problem for Russia to fight corruption in its border troops or the FSB. We have enough of our own problems and corruption too.

    There were also, by the way, high tales about some special forces battalion of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces "One-Eyed Owl", which, as reported by the Armenian media, according to the RELIABLE Armenian Defense Ministry, which asserted this on the basis of radio intercepts. The war in Chechnya is over, well, tell me now, was there any special forces of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces on the side of the militants? ...

    I would be very grateful if you could tell us something about which I might not know hi If you lied about it, I would be very grateful if you admit this fact and promise not to lie and not work for high-tech propaganda - Armenprop.

      Specifically (too lazy to surf the internet) there were facts that the wounded militants were treated, including in Baku, with their families they lived there. Yes, they rested in Georgia, and in Ukraine, and in Baku too, these are facts.

    You can write a whole book ..

    You can write a lot of books. For example, how my relatives from Russia got to Yerevan by distribution, they were kicked out, they came to Ganja, then to Baku. They could not even get help in restoring documents - there are no refugees in the USSR and cannot be ... while the Armenians were and lived everywhere. They, too, went nowhere and came with nothing, with two small children in their arms, there were distant relatives in Baku, they gave shelter. There were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS like them in Azerbaijan, and then there was Sumgait, then they brought troops into Baku. Yes, there were also pogroms of the ARMENIANS, but not of Russians and Jews, no need to la-la, You are either lying or something "not talking" about yourself. My relatives, like other refugees, occupied an apartment after the fled Armenians.

    You yourself write that an Armenian old woman was taken from your yard TO EXCHANGE FOR Captive , firstly, it means that the Armenians ALREADY took someone "prisoner", and secondly, you lied here again, when the Armenians lived en masse in Baku, there could be no prisoners yet, the Azerbaijanis had not yet fought with the Armenians, but the HOSTAGE of the Armenian gang they took the nationalists.
    Tired of repeating, at that moment the Internal Troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs and the OMON of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Azerbaijan SSR fought with the gangs of Armenian nationalists, there were no gangs, "self-defense units" on the Azerbaijani side, even hunting weapons were taken away in Azerbaijan.

    There are many Russians among the National Heroes of Azerbaijan, there are also Jews, but you here, more than falsely sure, are telling everyone about the pogroms and about your gray head.
    Here is a Jew:

    And here is the attitude of "Azerbians", "Azerbones" to him and how else did you respect your neighbors:


    Well, for reference, my mother is Russian, it is not difficult to guess by my name, we have consistently lived through the development of this conflict in several cities of Azerbaijan and it all passed before my eyes. Many of my classmates, Russians, both lived and live in Baku, someone emigrated to the USA and Canada, Russians work in government structures, and serve in the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan and by the way are fighting now, as everything is shorter, just like we Azerbaijanis we must and serve and fight for Russia.
    I, speaking Azerbaijani colloquial, could not write a single document, while I served in the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, my colleague, Russian, helped me, and then I took a fighter for myself, also a Russian, by the way, a Molokanin, all my documentation was conducted and conducted in Azerbaijani, now in the States, my wife pulled, both IT people.

    God be with you, where did you get all this? Where did we get the "thousand-year history of wars" with Turkey ???
    Most of all we fought with the Lithuanians. Since we had a period of feudal fragmentation, and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a single state, it attacked this or our principality almost every year. Well, our principalities periodically responded with campaigns against the Lithuanians. In total, there were more than 40 Russian-Lithuanian military conflicts. And then not all are counted.
    Then the Poles come. About 20 wars, including their three Polish uprisings, which were steeper in scale than our other war with Turkey (1794 - Kosciuszko uprising; 1830-1831 November uprising; 1863-1864 January uprising).
    Then there are wars with the Swedes. 17 wars, not counting the border conflicts of 1375-1396.
    And only then are the Russian-Turkish wars (12 wars). Moreover, in 8 wars we were the initiators, in 3 - Turkey, and one war (World War I) began, as it were, mutually. First, the provocations of Armenian fideas that crossed from our territory to the territory of Turkey, then the shelling of our coastal cities with ships under Turkish flags, then we declared war on Turkey.
    Yes, I forgot, about how many battles various Russian principalities had with the crusaders - even history does not remember about that.
    By duration, the longest are not Russian-Ottoman, but Russian-Polish wars. In total, we fought with the Poles for over 100 years.
    The bloodiest are the Russian-German wars. In total, the Germans accounted for two world wars - over 30 million lives of our compatriots.
    The Ottomans never made us such tricks as:
    - Swedes after the miserable battle for us at Fraustadt, held on February 2, 1706 (Julian calendar); February 3, 1706 (Swedish calendar); February 13, 1706 (Gregorian calendar) when the victorious Swedes stabbed 4 of our prisoners with cold steel.
    “In the battle of Fraustadt, an incomprehensible, truly bestial cruelty of the Swedes was revealed regarding the Russians. Indeed, in this combined army of the Saxon general Schulenburg, who suffered such a rout, there were Saxons, Poles, and even the French, who served in the Saxon army, and, finally, the Russians. After their victory (February 3, 1706), the Swedish army captured all those who were not killed and did not have time to escape. Everyone except the Russians! "Many Russians were beaten as well, and which of the soldiers were taken to full, and with those the enemy zealously acted mercilessly, according to the royal decree issued before about them, so as not to give them pardon (or mercy), and scolding people 2 and 3 "they stabbed one another with their spears and baguettes (bayonets. - E. T.). In such a barbaric way, the Swedes exterminated 4 thousand disarmed Russian prisoners after the battle." E.V. Tarle, "The Northern War and the Swedish invasion of Russia";

    - Germans who attacked us without declaring war on 22.06.1941/XNUMX/XNUMX. The Ottomans, if they themselves started, first, by all the rules, declared war on us, and hostilities began somewhere in half a year after the announcement. And even later.
    - Poles who literally crap Kremlin churches.
    So why should we assume that the Ottomans are worse than the Swedes, Poles or Germans?
    In addition, not the Turks, not the Azerbaijanis, but the Armenians, went as mercenaries to Khan Mamai and went with him to conquer Russia.
    "The same autumn, Prince Mamaia came to the Horde with his like-minded people, and with all the other Horde princes, and with all the might of Totar and Polovtsian, and besides, he called rats, Bessermen, and Armenians, and Fryazi, Cherkasy, and Yasy, and Burtasy "

    On the downed plane and killed our pilot.
    Do you seem to be familiar with further events after the downing of our plane? Yes, we then in the heat of the week said a lot of things to each other too much. We were very professionally tried to pit each other. But as subsequent events clearly showed, that our downed SU-24 aircraft was actually the first step in preparing for the coup in Turkey. Aspirated USA. The coup to overthrow Erdogan himself.
    The task is to bring down our plane and thereby quarrel our countries (Russia and Turkey).
    The goal is to ensure Russia's non-interference, and if you're lucky, then Russia's benevolent attitude towards the planned coup in Turkey. After all, the United States was well aware that we Russians would still learn that a coup against Erdogan was being prepared in Turkey.
    So they wanted to substitute Erdogan in such a way as to cover him so much before us that we would not have any desire to interfere with the coup in Turkey.
    Particularly tried some neighbors of Turkey. After the downing of our plane, the loudest screams on the topic that “Turks (hereinafter the dirty stream of traditional swearing at the Turks)”, “Turks cannot be trusted”, “Knife in the back” and so on came from Yerevan.
    But our President received information not only from their radio.
    Having analyzed the situation, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin eventually understood the whole situation. And at the last moment, he intervened and took a number of effective operational measures to save the Turkish President Erdogan.
    After that, Erdogan understood how the Americans framed him.
    By the way, aren't there ARMENIAN ears sticking out here ???
    Who was the head of the US Air Force's Special Operations Division at the Pentagon at the time? It turns out that at that time the head of the US Special Operations Department at the Pentagon was a certain General Jeffrey Harrigan. Well, yes, the one who, shortly after the failure with the coup against Erdogan, out of anger gave the command to bomb the positions of our PMCs on the Euphrates (Syria). US Air Force Lieutenant General Jeffrey Harrigan (or more precisely Jeffrey Harrigan). http://kavkazplus.com/news.php?id=18804#.XGLJHDpS-Uk
    By the way, after the provocation with our SU-24, the career of this Armenian general went up sharply. And it accelerated even more after the bombing of our PMCs in Syria. Now this Armenian is already the commander of the US Air Force in Europe and the African Air Force. At the same time, he is the commander of the Allied Air Command and the director of the Joint Aviation and Energy Competence Center.
    Here it is, threatening us with a blow to Kaliningrad.

    By the way, Armenians have new joy. Trump recently appointed Patrick Hovakimian as Chief of Staff for US National Intelligence.

    Azerbaijan's closest friend is Turkey, one of our worst enemies.
    Uh-huh. Like the Aztecs and Incas. Who were Spain's worst enemies. And the Indian Great Mughals were England's worst enemies.

    There is no need to get so excited, both sides participated in the pogroms of the 80s - 90s, both sides also participated in the murders of civilians like Khojaly (for example). It's like in the conflicts of the former Yugoslavia. It is clear that you are bending the line for your country, but sometimes you have to be more objective.
    Nonsense, sorry for the frankness.
    There are no and there were no nationalist movements in Azerbaijan now and did not exist in the Soviet period. At the same time, they developed a vigorous activity in the Armenian SSR, which resulted in the first terrorist attacks in Moscow:

    Look from 03.30, this is not me telling you, but the "national heroes" of Armenia.
    In the fall of 1993, while trying to plant a mine on the Tbilisi-Baku train, they detained counterintelligence officer of the ZakVO Soso Aroyan... Khatkovsky and Aroyan gave evidence, which was reported to Moscow. Russian special services got involved in the case. In May 1994, employees of the Federal Grid Company of the Russian Federation in Moscow detained a group of organizers of the terrorist attacks. To the surprise of the Chekists, all the detainees turned out to be members of the special services. The group was headed by Lieutenant Colonel Jahan Hovhannisyan, head of the department of reconnaissance and sabotage operations on the territory of the enemy of the State Department of National Security (GUNS) of Armenia. The second was his subordinate, Lieutenant Colonel Ashot Galoyan. The third detainee, Major Boris Simonyan, worked in the anti-terrorism department of the Federal Grid Company of Russia... All three were charged with terrorism, smuggling and illegal possession of weapons and explosives.

    The main military prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation, which was investigating the case, managed to collect evidence of their involvement in the train explosion in Azerbaijan and two attempted bombings, one of which was committed on Russian territory. On the instructions of the terrorists, a train was mined in Derbent, and only thanks to an error of the executor, the explosive device did not work and was neutralized in Mineralnye Vody. The court recognized that the crimes committed by them really fall under Article 213,3 (terrorism), however, it was impossible to convict the saboteurs under this article, since at the time of the crime there was no such article in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Then Article 68 (sabotage) was in force, but by the time of the trial it was excluded from the Criminal Code. In addition, the criminals were not charged with the explosion of the train in Gudermes, since, according to the court, it was impossible to carry out investigative actions on the territory of Chechnya, which was actually independent at that time, and the explosion in Baku, although it was proved, did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Russian court, as it took place on the territory of another state. As a result, the head of the terrorists, Oganesyan, was found guilty under Art. 86 of the Criminal Code (damage to communication lines and vehicles) and 218 (illegal possession of weapons and ammunition), and sentenced to 6 years. Simonyan (employee of the Federal Grid Company of Russia) and Galoyan were also convicted under the 218th. The first was sentenced to 2 years in prison, and Galoyan, who received a little less, was released from custody right in the courtroom due to the fact that he had actually served his sentence. One of the detainees, Petrosyan, was unlawfully released from custody in exchange for a promise to cooperate with the investigation, but once he was free, he hastily left the territory of Russia.

    From the timing in general, I am bastard, but what about the fact that Armenia is a terrorist state, I think the materials of the Russian courts and special services are more argument for you than my biased and biased words?
    Think again about the frostbite of the state, which beats from the OTRK on the residential quarters of a large city, whose special services organize acts of terrorism, no sabotage, namely, terrorist acts, and the special services are subordinate to the first persons of the state and do not act at their own peril and risk.
    And then remember who was the organizer of the pogroms in Sumgait ...
    Remember who started the war in Karabakh, then against the Internal Troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs ...
    The first terrorist attack in Baku in public transport was carried out by Armenian nationalists long before Sumgait, Azerbaijanis began to be persecuted in Armenia long before Sumgait. Once again, the Azerbaijanis did not have any nationalist and anti-Armenian movements, there was no policy of the nation's superiority over others, territorial claims and other vinaigrette in their heads.

    Khojaly ... This is not a topic that, when discussing with an Azeri, one can casually drop the Armenian cynical memorized:
    ... both sides also participated in the killings of civilians like Khojaly (for example).

    Do you even think when you write? ... Have you even thought about WHAT you wrote ?! Do you understand what happened there, what is the scale of the tragedy?

    After that, you can only tell that in Auschwitz and other concentration camps, Jews, Soviet prisoners of war burned themselves, in Leningrad the population starved itself to death, etc. Your name is not Ksyusha? - and then you never know, here as I see a lot of some strange comrades, men write under women's nicknames, I admit that Ksyushenka also writes under a man's.
    On Khojaly there is also a confession of Serzh Sargsyan, a statement of the so-called. NKR, conclusions of many international organizations. Read less high-tech propaganda in reputable sources like Yandex.Zen and the like.
