The authorities of unrecognized Karabakh updated information on the number of deaths after the start of the military operation of Azerbaijan

In the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the military operation launched by Azerbaijan continues for the second day. Azerbaijani troops are shelling the region with artillery and MLRS, striking with drones.

In the morning, the authorities of unrecognized Karabakh updated information on the number of deaths after the start of Azerbaijan’s military operation. They report the death of 27 people, including 7 civilians. The other twenty people are obviously Karabakh military.

There are many traces of Azerbaijani strikes in Stepanakert, residential buildings and civilian vehicles have been damaged. But the Azerbaijani army does not stop striking. In fact, the territory of the NKR is under constant fire; it can be predicted that after the completion of the strikes, ground units of the Azerbaijani army will enter the territory of the unrecognized republic to carry out cleansing and take control of the main objects.

Azerbaijan declares the success of the military operation and claims that it demands the surrender of the authorities of the unrecognized NKR. Only in this case will the military operation be stopped, as Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev confirmed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Meanwhile, riots continue in Yerevan. About 35 people were detained by police. The protesters are demanding the resignation of the country's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who actually refused to intervene in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Western countries have not yet demonstrated an active desire to intervene in the current situation.

Armenia does not have any obligations to open the “Zangezur Corridor” - Ambassador-at-Large in response to the statement of the Turkish President

Discussions about this, which were artificially put into circulation, cannot be promoted as a legitimate demand, Edmon Marukyan said on OAT. Moreover, Yerevan’s position in this context has not changed, and in the tripartite agreement of November 9, 2020, it was only about the opening of communications, for which Armenia is ready.

Your Prime Minister has signed up! That's it. If you don't answer for your signature, we'll make you do it!

You are an Armenian and therefore you will not tell the truth. You Armenians just can’t understand that we are not stupid, we see and know everything, and no matter how much you hang noodles on everyone’s ears, we will immediately bring your lies to light. This Edmond of yours even breathes lies. Read how in this text there is or is not a corridor to Nakhichevan. I repeat, you have signed up and you will fulfill these conditions at any cost. Stop lying, no one believes you anymore!

Azerbaijani “anti-terrorist measures of a local nature” in Karabakh are a serious blow to Russia’s influence in the Transcaucasus given the current geopolitical realities (the Russian Federation’s involvement in the Northern Military District and all the consequences of this). Aliyev is completely under Erdogan. Erdogan after May (elections in Turkey), no matter what he says, is completely under the US. The whole situation in Transcaucasia is a skillful combination (provocation) of the United States to “stretch” Russia and involve our state in new conflicts. Exactly the same provocation as with Ukraine - the desire (voiced before February 2022) of the Kyiv regime to join NATO in the presence of territorial disputes with us.

Therefore, we will use the forces of the CSTO: we will be “stretched” and may lose. It is clear that no one will truly use the CSTO’s forces and for the purposes of the Organization’s Charter, since the Kremlin now mistakenly thinks that everything that happens between Azerbaijan and Armenia is beneficial to them. If not applicable, we will completely lose Armenia. There are no other options. Pro-Azerbaijani Karabakh is not a victory for Russia. Aliyev's victory - yes, Erdogan's - yes. Movement of pawns in a big chess game for the United States far from its borders - yes. Whoever says that a regime change will now occur in Armenia (specifically the real course, and not temporary politicians), and it will become even more pro-Russian - this is the same nonsense as the fact that Ukraine has already been almost completely demilitarized and denazified.

If the United States began a provocation, it means that this corresponds to their schedule as part of the implementation of their “business plan” for the collapse and weakening of Russia. So, everything has been calculated. This means that Transcaucasia is slowly, unfortunately, becoming even more American. The reality today is this. Erdogan did not start with the “hands” of Azerbaijan after his meeting with Putin in Sochi. He started at the behest of the United States, creating the appearance and exaggerating the role of this meeting in Sochi for the public consciousness. Erdogan is not a friend of Russia. As a strong national politician, he acts exclusively in his own interests and in the interests of his people. It is dependent on the United States and acts by agreement.

PS About Shoigu’s trip to Iran. The Americans already briefly “bought” Tehran yesterday in terms of their possible additional loyalty to Russia by unfreezing their billions of dollars in South Korean bank accounts and carrying out a prisoner exchange. We need to act faster and more specifically, Sergei Kuzhugetovich. And this applies not only to Iran. Otherwise, our “partners” will continue to twist our arms.

For such things there are you, Armenians. You were also used on this issue in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire when your fellow tribesmen betrayed the Turks, you also made such a scenario with Azerbaijan Karabakh - Sumgayit. So we know who you are. Don't act like furry angels.

❗️The purposeful promotion of false stories has no basis; Moscow did not know about Baku’s plans to attack Nagorno-Karabakh, and even more so, the peacekeepers did not convey to the Azerbaijani side any information about the location of military fortifications in NK 

➖The information about “advance informing of Russian peacekeepers” about what is happening does not correspond to reality. This is an outright lie and speculation, no matter who is behind their spread, the Russian diplomatic mission said in response to a request from @SputnikARM.

➖Russia opposed and opposes any attempts to resolve the conflict by force, and therefore immediately called on the conflicting parties to stop hostilities and return to the path of a political and diplomatic settlement.

➖Painstaking work with the parties is being carried out on all tracks - unblocking regional transport communications, delimitation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, development of the provisions of the peace treaty. It will continue in the future.

➖RMK operates under very difficult conditions. The main goal is to ensure the security and rights of the Armenian population of NK. The command of the Russian peacekeepers is now making active efforts in contact with Stepanakert and Baku to stop hostilities and launch the negotiation process.

Aliyev's genocidal regime continues its large-scale attack and bloodshed in Artsakh, using every weapon in its arsenal against this beleaguered, exhausted and small nation.

Unfortunately, we have dozens of casualties and more than 200 wounded, but the numbers continue to grow. On the other hand, it is important to emphasize that the genocidal army of Azerbaijan also suffered heavy losses, apparently more than we did. This is because our heroic guys fiercely resisted and are resisting the genocidal army, defending their homeland, families and dignity.

It has long been clear to me that not only Armenian, but also Azerbaijani lives do not matter to the Aliyev regime, and that is why he regularly throws his compatriots into the meat grinder.

After all, it is not in vain that Azerbaijani society complains and demands that the children of their officials be sent to the battlefield, after which they will not dare to play with human lives.

Right. Everyone with a machine gun told you that the suitcase was Armenia Station. What did you do? MINES, mercenaries, sabotage...and after that you talk so calmly about the Armenian genocide? I see no limit to your impudence.

Quote from Romanovski

It has long been clear to me that not only Armenian, but also Azerbaijani lives do not matter for the Aliyev regime

you lie and lie blatantly. Aliyev bought all the newest things to destroy you remotely and he was very pained by our dead. And he cares for the families of the dead and wounded! Apartments, cars, treatment. True, sometimes there is a failure, but if it reaches his ears, this official will fly out like a cork at best.

Below is a statement dated November 9, 2020, drawn up by Russian President V.V. Putin.

Which parties violated which terms? What condition did Armenia violate here and what conditions did Azerbaijan violate?

Text:

We, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan I. G. Aliyev, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia N. V. Pashinyan and the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin, have declared the following:

1. A complete ceasefire and all hostilities in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are announced from 00:00 hours Moscow time on November 10, 2020. The Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia, hereinafter referred to as the Parties, stop at their positions.

2. The Aghdam region is returned to the Republic of Azerbaijan until November 20, 2020.

3. Along the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor, a peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is deployed in the amount of 1960 military personnel with small arms, 90 armored personnel carriers, 380 units of automobile and special equipment.

4. The peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is being deployed in parallel with the withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces. The duration of the stay of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is 5 years, with automatic extension for the next 5-year periods, if none of the Parties declares 6 months before the expiration of the period of intention to terminate the application of this provision.

5. In order to increase the effectiveness of control over the implementation of the agreements by the Parties to the conflict, a peacekeeping center is being deployed to control the ceasefire.

6. The Republic of Armenia will return the Kelbajar region to the Republic of Azerbaijan by November 15, 2020, and the Lachin region by December 1, 2020. The Lachin corridor (5 km wide), which will ensure the connection of Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia and at the same time will not affect the city of Shusha, remains under the control of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation.

By agreement of the Parties, in the next three years, a plan for the construction of a new route along the Lachin corridor will be determined, providing communication between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, with the subsequent redeployment of the Russian peacekeeping contingent to protect this route.

The Republic of Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of traffic along the Lachin corridor of citizens, vehicles and goods in both directions.

7. Internally displaced persons and refugees are returning to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas under the control of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

8. There is an exchange of prisoners of war, hostages and other detained persons and bodies of the dead.

9. All economic and transport links in the region are unblocked. The Republic of Armenia guarantees the safety of transport links between the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic in order to organize the unimpeded movement of citizens, vehicles and goods in both directions. Control over transport communication is carried out by the bodies of the Border Guard Service of the FSB of Russia.

By agreement of the Parties, the construction of new transport communications linking the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic with the western regions of Azerbaijan will be provided.

and which ones were completed voluntarily? no need to la-la. They laid a million mines, destroyed everything they could, and turned it into scorched earth so that no one could return. And we have returned, and we will rebuild everything, the true owners will return to the earth. Real owners do not destroy everything, but build. They offered you peace, you chose war, so don’t be offended and don’t make noise to the whole world about how white and fluffy you are, poor and unhappy, the bloodthirsty Turks are slaughtering and killing you. Be men, although to whom am I telling this? Honor and dignity are not about you.

[barclay]

It was inevitable that this would happen. They hate each other with terrible force. Aliyev will not miss the chance to close the Nagorno-Karabakh issue forever, while Russia is not interested in Transcaucasia. Therefore, our peacekeepers, at best, will save a certain number of local Armenians in their location (as many as will fit) from the massacre by the Azers. I had the opportunity to personally observe how they hate each other in 1986-1988.
Of course, the Armenians will blame Russia for everything. They understood the situation clearly: Russia will not allow the liquidation of Nagorno-Karabakh. But Russia did not set such a task for itself.

If in 2014, Russian passionaries, militias, businessmen and adventurers, instead of the burning Donbass, had simply gone to shout in the squares of their cities, our native Russian Donbass would no longer exist, we would not have survived for almost ten years. They would have devoured our people there and surrendered Donbass.

If Avo Monte, Commando, Kocharyan, Gago, Oskolok, Karo, Atspanyan, Dushman in the early nineties had picked up loudspeakers instead of AKs and come to Yerevan Square to drink coffee instead of Nagorno-Karabakh...

Okay, history does not tolerate the subjunctive. Askeran, Mardaker, Stepanakert, Martuni, Hadrut, Krasnobazar forces, patience and spirit, and all Karabakh. True, I’ve been to many places, but people of steel live only in Donbass and Artsakh.

God will control.

Statement on Azerbaijan's military aggression against Artsakh

On September 19, the armed forces of Azerbaijan unleashed another military aggression against the Republic of Artsakh, violating the principles of international law and the provisions of the Tripartite Declaration on the cessation of hostilities of November 9, 2020. 

The capital Stepanakert and other populated areas are currently subject to massive artillery, rocket and air strikes. There are casualties, including among civilians.

The military aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan under the ongoing illegal blockade of the Republic of Artsakh is undisguised genocide and an extreme expression of the denial of the fundamental rights of the people of Artsakh. The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan has already openly declared its intention to carry out the forcible displacement of 120 thousand residents of Artsakh, which is tantamount to the destruction of the people of Artsakh as such, its unity and integrity.

Having subjected the entire country to an illegal siege and using hunger as a method of war, Azerbaijan decided to resort to force, confident that it would not meet resistance from the international community.

The Azerbaijani authorities have been preparing the ground for this military attack in recent weeks by openly and falsely accusing Artsakh and Armenia of military provocations.
It should be emphasized that none of these forgeries were confirmed by reports from Russian peacekeeping troops.

Azerbaijan’s military aggression against Artsakh is a direct consequence of the lack of collective measures by the international community to stop its genocidal actions and the illegal blockade of Artsakh, which has been going on for more than 9 months. By ignoring warnings about Azerbaijan’s criminal intentions and refusing to take appropriate action, all responsible international players were unable to prevent another Azerbaijani aggression against Artsakh.

The Republic of Artsakh demands that the international community take all necessary measures to immediately stop the continuation of Azerbaijani military aggression and ensure the safety of the population. Preventing the crime of genocide is the responsibility of every state, including the actors involved. Inaction contributes to the commission of a crime.

Statement on Azerbaijan's military aggression against Artsakh

Listen, there is no Artsakh. There is Karabakh. I repeat, stop copying other people’s texts. If I start copying your own texts here against your own regime, there won’t be any free space here.

[Romanovski]

Artsakh is now fighting for itself, left alone, abandoned by its own mother against an aggressor who exceeds it 100 times in numbers and 1000 times in weapons.

Artsakh fights to the last, the defender of Artsakh looks like a noble knight today, realizing that he is left to the mercy of fate.

Unfortunately, in 2018 those who seized power in Armenia did everything to nullify the efforts of the Armenian people to gain independence. Today, the head of Armenia is actually helping 10 million Azerbaijan to finish off the population of 100 Artsakh.

Unfortunately, the third Karabakh war and the signed shameful surrender did not sober up the Armenian population, unfortunately.  

The HEAD of the Republic of Armenia put an end to the issue of Artsakh, officially recognizing it as part of Azerbaijan in Europe. The British, Turks and Jews were very glad that he was helping them destroy the Armenian people.

NATO's main goal is to oust Russia from the southern Caucasus. The Turks and the British are pursuing the same goal in this region in order to calmly strangle Iran.

May God grant strength to Artsakh, its truly heroic residents and prudence to the Armenians.

Well, now the Armenians will take a sip with this Pashinyan.
They wanted Nikola, they got him for president.
And a bonus for them from Pashinyan is another war with Azerbaijan.
Any president of the CIS (and not only) who “loves” the USA sooner or later leads his country to war!
By the way, look at our guarantor - the sovereign - for hope.
For 22 years he called the USA “our partners”, and as a result - a war with Ukraine!

Every time I like to draw historical parallels. At a certain period of time, for Comrade Stalin, the German Nazis were also “partners.” This does not change the fact that both Stalin and Putin were well aware of where everything would go.

Pashinyan’s next step will be to accuse Russian peacekeepers of inaction. And then sending all sorts of “activists” to the Russian military base in Gyumri with a demand for its withdrawal from the territory of Armenia.

[Old_geologist]

All Armenians in Moscow are changing curbs - new ones to even newer ones. Or they trade in construction markets. They are busy, and here you are interfering with some Karabakh. They don’t need Armenia, let alone Karabakh.

Yes, Pashinyan has no options other than to give up and play the cards in his favor.
1.Armenia clearly cannot stand alone against Azerbaijan
2. The USA will definitely not fit in with Armenia as long as it is in the CSTO and has a Russian base on its territory.
3. Russia definitely won’t fit in, because last time it didn’t fit in when the conditions for this were 100 times better. And now, when the army is busy with the Northern Military District, even if Pashinyan licked Putin all the way, there would still be no one to send to help.
4. Thus, the natural and only way for Pashinyan to blame Russia for everything, to shift all the blame onto it. Leave the CSTO, live the base on the right and transfer to NATO. And hand over the NKR.

[BorzRio]

If the Kremlin hasn’t understood yet, then let them turn on their brains at least for a minute - next Moldova with the seizure of Transnistria, Georgia with the seizure of South Ossetia and Obkhazia, etc. starting in 2010, it was not necessary to pump the oligarchy with billions and yachts, but to prepare the country and army for such events. Now there is turmoil ahead. Before we played pink lines.

How interesting it is to read the comments today when it’s all over and Karabakh has capitulated.
I'm really glad that the bloodshed stopped quickly.
Well, then you can talk as much as you like about politics, but with all the ambiguity of the Armenian Prime Minister, Armenia can get, if not friendship, then normal relations with its neighbors.
