Armenia appealed to the International Court of Justice, accusing Azerbaijan of "racial discrimination"

The confrontation between Yerevan and Baku is gradually shifting from the military to the legal plane.

In September 2021, Armenia filed a lawsuit against Azerbaijan with the International Court of Justice. Yerevan accused Baku of racial discrimination.



Just yesterday, on January 23, Armenia submitted a memorandum containing documented facts and reports proving Azerbaijan’s violations of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination for many decades, the representative of the Armenian side Yeghishe Kirakosyan said in a message posted on his social network .

As previously reported, the lawsuit filed by Yerevan refers to massacres, torture and other illegal actions by Azerbaijanis against ethnic Armenians. It's not entirely clear, where does racial discrimination come from? Or do the Armenian authorities believe that Armenians and Azerbaijanis are nations of different racial affiliation?..

It is worth recalling that the Armenian authorities also accuse Baku of genocide in connection with the blocking of the Lachin corridor by Azerbaijani "eco-activists", which has been going on since December 12 last year. As a result of the protests, the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh found themselves in a food blockade.

In turn, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan criticized the "lack of reaction" to what is happening on the part of Russian peacekeepers and CSTO allies, adding that he would seek help from international organizations such as the UN and the OSCE.

    One political scientist said that if two neighbors are fighting, it means that an Englishman spent the night at one's house the night before. That's all the lisping of the "pashka" with the shaves. They are trampling the path by the Armenians for the outskirts, creating precedents.

      How much will Erdogan get off his jacket and impudently for access to Yerevan?
      I would take Pashinyan in full for all the losses of the Russian Federation when leaving Armenia.
      Double flight of Armenia for the price.
      Only loans from Western democracies will then save the Ararats.
      Wow uhry live on credit

        Something tells me that by the decision of this court (and any) they will simply wipe themselves. The only question is who? ... Armenians or Azerbaijanis laughing

      Can you guess three times the size of the US Embassy and Consulate in Armenia? 250? Noooo Thousand? NO carcasses! Two thousand - nope! And how much? Three thousand:? Nope - but I almost guessed it - 4000 people, but I still think that Pashinyan puts spokes in our wheels? Like an Orthodox country. And it won't!

        You also count biolaboratories and various funds, it looks like there are 2 Anglo-Saxons for each inhabitant, and others.

      There are such races: Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid. Which of them is suitable for people who always turn to their northern neighbor for the salvation of their country and then shit under his door, choose for yourself ...

        As far as I know history, the northern neighbor repeatedly used the Armenians for their own interests and left 1 on 1 with the Iranians or Turks. It is strange that they believed you in the 20th century and started an uprising in the Ottoman Empire

          If it were not for RI, Armenia, as well as Azerbaijan, and Georgia would not exist on the map today, and such peoples, most likely, would not exist. Learn history from normal sources, and not from Soros, otherwise you will be the same galloping ones who have jumped problems around the world. Russia, in one form or another, has been, is and will be for thousands of years, but the future of Armenia, with such a policy and corruption, is a question, the Anglo-Saxons have not helped anyone yet, but only created problems. There are already more Armenians in Russia than in their own country, not counting the rest of the world.

            I just learned it from normal sources.
            May I remind you how many times have you used the Armenians since Peter and David Bek's rebellion? Although the tsar did not like the Dashnaks, he supported them, like the Assyrians in separatism in Turkey. How it ended, I also know very well.

            Armenians in the Russian Federation have extremely weak influence, unlike the United States, the Arab League and Europe

    Britain, France, Germany and all others are on a leash with the United States.
    And in the US Congress, the Armenian lobby has been the second in terms of influence after the Israeli one for forty years already.

    And we don't give a damn what Armenia is doing there? Armenians have shown themselves to be enemies of Russia, and if members of the government are at enmity in Europe, but the people are not, then here they stink even at the household level.

    Let them give the Turks more. The court is fair, it will figure it out, they have experience. the French in the 2000s in Africa carried out peacekeeping ... until the conflict itself was exhausted. A million fewer blacks or more - it's all the same.

    This is another purulent ulcer on the body of our country, which has yet to be dealt with, along the way solving the most difficult "chess game" that is not inferior in complexity to the "game" of the 19th-20th centuries. It is reasonable to ask how it is with patriotism and in relation to which country, as well as whether there are too many representatives of this small and with one of the most Russophobic policies of the republic, in our power, financial and other vital structures, mainly in those where physical participation and specific obvious results of labor are not required, where financial flows, trade, the media and various analysts, funds, etc. real, everyday life and the life of an ordinary man in the street.
    Again, our own mediocre 30-year policy, the utter intellectual helplessness of the "upper" class in matters of state building, based only and exclusively on profit and personal enrichment, led to this.
