RT: to the dividing line in Nagorno-Karabakh, troops are pulling together

Channel correspondents RT on Sunday, they visited Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, to clarify the situation on the ground. To their question, what circumstances led to the resumption of armed conflict, officials and ordinary citizens answered: the Azerbaijanis began bombarding the territory of the republic simultaneously from all sides.



“This is the most serious violation of the cease-fire established in 1994. According to the interlocutors of the RT correspondent Murat Gadiyev, the shelling was followed by a ground military operation in two regions of the republic, ”the report said.

The Azerbaijani side announced the cessation of hostilities unilaterally, but the Armenian Defense Ministry reported that this was not true.

On the way to the republic, the journalists saw a large amount of equipment, squeezed to the borders of Nagorno-Karabakh. This happened both on the Azerbaijani side and on the Armenian side.

Correspondents were also able to talk with wounded children in the unrecognized republic. The channel reminds that one child died and two children were injured as a result of the shelling in Nagorno-Karabakh.



Yesterday evening, the Armenian Defense Ministry announced the successes of their armed forces.

“Armenian units in some parts of the contact line have achieved great success, moving forward. New positions have been freed, new frontiers have been achieved, ”said the spokesman for the department, Ovanesyan.

The Azerbaijani military responded immediately: "There is no advancement of the Armenian troops." However, the fact of maintaining high tension in the region is not denied by the department.

“At this moment there is high tension. The Azerbaijani Armed Forces control the situation along the front line and in the territories liberated on the eve, ”said the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, Dergahly.

A Saturday statement by the Belarusian Foreign Ministry on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh caused a diplomatic scandal between Yerevan and Minsk. In Baku, this statement was perceived as unequivocal support to Azerbaijan. The Armenian Foreign Ministry also regarded and called the Belarusian ambassador to the carpet, to whom deep bewilderment was expressed.

Armenian Foreign Ministry summoned Belarusian ambassador due to Minsk’s support for photo: morguefile.com
The matter concerns the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus of April 2, published on the website of the department. It says that Belarus has consistently advocated the resolution of the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh "in accordance with the generally recognized principles and norms of international law, primarily on the basis of respecting and ensuring the sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of state borders, as well as the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council. and OSCE decisions ".

It must be said that, judging, for example, by the publication of the Azerbaijani portal Haqqin.az, Baku perceived this statement as an "unequivocal position" in support of "the inviolability of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity." Why? Because in April, June, October and November 1993, the UN Security Council really passed four resolutions, which, among other things, condemned the seizure of Azerbaijani territories and spoke of the inviolability of borders.

Yerevan did not like this interpretation and on Sunday, as reported by RIA Novosti, Belarusian Ambassador Igor Nazaruk was invited to the Armenian Foreign Ministry in connection with this statement of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan expressed deep surprise to the Belarusian Ambassador with the text of this statement. Kocharian told the Belarusian ambassador that "such a statement does not correspond to the spirit of the Armenian-Belarusian relations and runs counter to the obligations assumed by the parties within the framework of the CSTO and other multilateral structures.". Also in Yerevan’s opinion, such a Minsk statement encourages the use of force in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Yerevan believes that the principles of international law on the non-use of force and the right of peoples to self-determination should be taken as the basis for resolving the situation.

[INVESTOR]

Of course, it was to be expected that the Azerbaijanis did not just purchase weapons stock from us. The most important thing is that no drop of Russian blood is spilled, let them figure it out, to crush only politically.

[Alexander Romanov]

“Armenian units in some parts of the contact line have achieved great success, moving forward. New positions have been freed, new frontiers have been achieved, ”said the spokesman for the department, Ovanesyan.
He went through both the Armenian media and the Azerbaijani-total: there is no one to believe. As always, the first sacrifices of warriors, it became true.

[Nikolay K]

Azerbaijan attacked first, capturing several settlements. The Armenians are trying to recapture them, but so far without much success. Accordingly, as a political settlement, the Armenians want to return to their original position, but Baku does not want to give up the captured villages, otherwise they will not understand Aliyev. He builds all politics on the liberation of the occupied territories.

Well, if people buy, why not sell? These are jobs in the defense industry and money for the development of technology for the defense of their country. They don’t get weapons for free, they pay up to a penny.
Armenians are supplied with weapons practically for nothing - "The loan is allocated at a rate of 3,0% per annum for a period of 10 years with a deferred payment until February 2018. Advance payments are at least 10% of the value of each contract." And all this is in Russian rubles with Given the constant drop in the ruble exchange rate, this is a free gift.

[garnik64]

Money is needed by both Amers and Germans, French, etc., but most of all Turkey, Israel and Russia.

[Nikolay K]

The fact of the matter is that we have an agreement on collective security with the Armenians. Either we should shed our blood for the Armenians, or other OKDB partners will not understand us, and this is a big reputation loss.

So what? And with the NKR too? Or does the Agreement provide support for the territorial claims of one of its members to a third non-member? Perhaps it is worth to tempt a member from pulling colleagues into their sluggish showdown?

[Nikolay K]

Not. While the war is in the NKR, of course we won’t go there. And Armenia perfectly understands this and wants to draw Russia into the conflict, for which it intends to conclude an official allied agreement with the NKR. If the hostilities continue, Yerevan will provide military support to the NKR, including using bases and airfields on its territory. Baku, of course, will not like this and they will possibly strike at military facilities in Armenia. And here the Armenians will yell about the CSTO and demand Russian intervention.

[tilovaykrisa]

Many Armenians shed blood for us ?? And most importantly, under the CSTO agreement, we must fit in for Armenia, but the NKR is not Armenia! and we won’t fit in for them until the Azerbaijani tanks enter Yerevan. What other losses ?? the entire CSTO rests on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation well, and Belarus as well, the rest are nominal allies, well, Kazakhstan is still there.

We played an unexpected card at our border,

What is unexpected? In 1994, Azerbaijan lost the war and lost a significant part of its territory. It is clear that he is waiting for a revenge, especially since in the era of oil prosperity, the military budget of Baku exceeded the entire budget of Armenia.
Although the Armenians are considered our allies in the region, they planted a big mine on us. Because they don’t want to make any compromises in resolving the issue, because under their control not only the former Karabakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, but also part of the territory of Azerbaijan. And in which case we must protect them under the OKBB agreement. It is clear that our enemies drove away are always ready to inflate this conflict.

Quote: darksoul

Expected. It’s not just that Davutoglu visited Aliyev in early December, a week after the Turks shot down our SU-24.
Close the Bosphorus, this is to enter into conflict directly with Russia. Erdogan is cunning and cowardly, it is unlikely to come to a direct conflict with us. The patience of the West to cover it is not unlimited. The military does not support him in this matter either, the General Staff calculated all the risks of a direct conflict with Russia for a long time, and it was not for nothing that they did not fully enter Syria. But shitting from under the silence, this is just his handwriting.

It seems to me that Aliyev began this mess to take away news from his family on the offshore in which they are involved. The so-called affair is Mossak-Fonseca. As an option.

Maybe you are right. The dictator, the aggressor will select the money in favor of the Armenian Genocide, by the Turks.
Everything can be. We live in an interesting time. And justice - get lost.

[donavi49]

Yah? And who will Iceland attack ??? They are also involved there. And in the EU, an urgent war will have to be unleashed.

In general, there are under a hundred leaders and persons close to them. As happens with such large-scale journalistic investigations, they will be hushed up very quickly.

Aliyev popper probed after meetings in the United States with the Turkish delegation and the US leadership. At the same time, the Turks have already expressed full support officially.

Perhaps it was simply considered an open window of opportunity. Azerbaijan has a complete and absolute superiority in all military components, and at times. Last year, Armenia has had scandals and crises, with mass protests of the population. However, the price of oil collapsed, and the entire economy of Azerbaijan is oil, without it the country would be poorer or similar to Armenia. Plus, the United States was clearly assured of neutrality and binding in the negotiations of Russia, and Erdogan in full support, possibly military.

[Ayujak]

yes, your arguments are convincing

[Nikolay K]

Do not talk nonsense. In all eastern despots, including Russia, the people do not care how much money the tsar has and where he takes them. Another thing is that when oil prices fall, and with them the standard of living of the population, it would be very good to remind the people of the external enemy, who is to blame for everything. In Ukraine, Putin is to blame for everything. Azerbaijan doesn’t even have to look for anyone, their enemy is long-standing and well-defined, so Aliyev is rocking the situation to stay in his chair.

[HAM]

It did not work out in Syria, now it will be hot in Karabakh, Transnistria (I personally think that there will be the next splash there), then again the Ukrainians twitch. Well, the "carriers of democracy" will not let us live in peace, and it is their "ears" that stick out of all conflicts !!!

[iliitchitch]

What a familiar handwriting - to shoot and scream "it's not me!" ... Erdogan wants to get it off for real. But in Karabakh, it seems, begins in earnest. I feel that Mount Ararat will return to Armenia as part of the restoration of historical justice.

[Mountain shooter]

We do not need any conflicts on the border, neither on our own, nor on those of others. IMHO, Azerbaijan clearly did not expect such a level of resistance and such determination from the Armenians. And in vain. It is one thing - pogroms, when a crowd (seven are not afraid of one), and quite another - when on equal terms. Ottoman ears loom behind this escalation - just "Wow"! What will be the response move of the GDP? A "Kurdish liberation movement" suggests itself, but, like any obvious action, it will not be applied. Our president is not a first-class chess player. If I were Erdogan, after such a "trick" with Karabakh, I would have become very tense.

08.35. Smolder it smoldered. But somehow suddenly it flared up in time. Last time in Ukraine began after the Syrian truce. Now here again a bunch, a truce is a new conflict. Personally, I am tormented by vague suspicions, this is not accidental. And there are conductors.

Until four UN resolutions are implemented and the Armenian troops withdrawn from the occupied territories, the conflict will continue. No country will tolerate the occupation of its territory and the destruction of entire cities, as was the case in Khojaly, Agdam, Lachin, Kelbajar and many other occupied lands of Azerbaijan. It’s a pity that peaceful people have just perished, and politicians use this excluded for their interests.

They remembered the resolution in Iran, in the Iranian media.
BUT WHO SITS AT THE UN? A man owes his entire career, study, work to the United States.
They forgot this resolution. Aliyev, who is being held hostage by the court in The Hague, will also connect the Armenian lobby.
HE (Aliyev) will become the second Milosevic.
To my great regret. There is no international law today, except for the right of the strong.
Example: A state judge has ordered an entire country to pay money for damage caused to the United States.
Squirrels hanged and neighed on horseback!
That something like this.

[garnik64]

These resolutions also applied to Azerbaijan. I also list the cities where Azerbaijanis distinguished themselves. And you have done well that you support your co-religionists, how could you say that this also concerns religion. Otherwise, Armenia did not exist. You can still argue about Khojaly (Ivanyan), but there is nothing to talk about other cities.

[kill the fascist]

expected conflict. I think that the Azerbaijanis began: 1. They lost their territories and consider themselves victims and the right side in the conflict. 2. oil does not bring past incomes and it is necessary to distract the population. 3. Americans and Turks actively pushed Aliyev to create chaos on the border / zone of interest of R.F. I think that Erdogash hopes to get even with Russia in this conflict.

[Alekseev-Orsk]

The situation is stalemate. Azerbaijanis are supported by the Turks, but are members of the CSTO, Armenians (not members of the CSTO) seem to be an outpost of Russia in front of Turkey with its ambitions. And of course, it all started to make Russia make a mistake when choosing a strategy.

No, it's not like that. Armenia is a member of the CSTO, but Azerbaijan is not.
But the time was chosen for a reason, apparently without the sanction of Turkey, and most importantly the United States is clearly not enough. Did Fas give a command! And they probably provided some kind of guarantee to the isers. Yes, the ring is compressed.

Of course, it’s too early to talk about something serious. More precisely, it’s too early for us. It is strange that the same news that has appeared immediately on the network runs from night to Saturday. At the same time, the media got into the mouth of water, one Palmyra. Some only slip out that the Grads on both sides continue to work.
Here is the gambit I see. If the Armenians again nagging Azerbaijanis, as in 94, Turkey can now get in, defending "its brothers from the thousand-year Armenian genocide." I’m not laughing, cynicism in politics is simply off scale. The Russian Federation, as a member of the CSTO, will have to support Armenia. And then Turkey, according to the Montreux Convention, will have the right to close the straits for us. Karabakh is not Donbass, there is no border. Around Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan are all our sworn friends.
In confirmation, yesterday Euronews "blurted out": "Baku is holding consultations with Ankara, Yerevan with Moscow."

[Qyomur]

I hate to engage in propaganda discussions about who is right and who is wrong, who started first and who got involved. At the moment, the situation on the line of contact is not just another tension on the border, there are full-scale hostilities (war if you will) in all directions. Now a question for the members of the forum who cannot answer the question "Who started first?"
- Did it make sense to start hostilities for the Armenians?

[tolyasik0577]

If Azerbaijan decided to act on the orders of the United States or listened to the "Turk", it acted very recklessly. We have already seen on the example of Ukraine and Turkey what the support of the United States is worth. Personally, I fully and completely support the Armenians and am confident that the provocation and responsibility are completely on the side of Baku. Baku very unsuccessfully decided to do something wrong. Russia is in closer relationship with Armenia than with Azerbaijan. This must be taken into account.

[black]

And I warned that they would shoot and go to eat barbecue. We saw that Aliyev was persuaded. And he kind of got it. And it seems like the conflict started. And they kind of fought. But here I am watching online news. And the decree of the Armenian parliament and volunteers in Stepanakert. And in Azerbaijan no mobilization events are observed. The military understands what is at stake. It seems to me that Aliyev took a step forward, two steps back, we keep in mind. Not just like that, he was persuaded. No thanks. But he is anyone, but not a chronic oligophrenic.

[Evil 55]

The Armenians and Azerbaijanis went on the offensive ... They turned their beaks to each other, beat off the kidneys and trampled all the roses from Anahit's grandmother ...

[Viktor.N.Aleksandrov.]

The conflict in Karabakh smoldered for a long time. A rare day was dispensed with without shelling, or even corpses, both on the one and the other. I am afraid that this aggravation will only lead to mass deaths of civilians during the massive shelling of settlements. Azerbaijan will not succeed in resolving the territorial dispute in spite of a significant superiority in technology. In the mountains, a lot depends on the individual training, experience and personal courage of the soldiers, and Armenians have a clear advantage in this.
