Yesterday, the whole Internet was cursing and cursing the biomass of red berets, who dragged and plastered the asphalt and detained the mourning mothers who visited Yerablur.

They did not want the number one culprit and person responsible for the death of their sons to visit the graves of their children with his entourage and defile those graves with his “grim presence”. But the “ghzlbash” who unconditionally obeyed Nikol Pashinyan’s orders, the red berets dressed as Armenian policemen, made it so that he entered Yrablur unhindered, and the relatives of the victims appeared in the police stations. After their departure, the relatives of the victims removed the wreaths placed by Pashinyan and his teammates from Yerablur.

Yesterday’s shots were so terrible that even the Nikolaians, with their propaganda tools, could not unmask and justify them, not counting particularly disgusting creatures. The actions of the police were so intolerable and humiliating that even the “objective” critic of the authorities, Daniel Ioannisyan, condemned the actions of the red berets, promising to submit a report on the crime on behalf of his NGO. “Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s congratulation on the occasion of Independence Day (especially the part about democracy) is completely hypocritical, if the police subordinate to him commits such illegalities before his visit. Personally, I have the impression that Pashinyan’s real congratulation was the violent arrest of the mothers of the victims and the hypocritical text about non-democracy broadcast on H1,” he wrote.
And what was the reaction of the authorities’ protection police and HRD Kristine Grigoryan regarding the incident? Approximately the same as the reaction of the international community or the OSCE Minsk Group to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, where Azerbaijan is clearly the aggressor and savage side, but the international structures somehow do not notice it or they still need to study it to notice it.

Here is the reaction of the police. “On the instructions of the police chief, these actions are being investigated, and the public will be informed about the results.
We urge you not to use the incident for political purposes and considerations.” And there is no one who urges the police not to use their “brigade of gladiators” to protect the “butt” of the political power of the day with such immoral and disgusting methods. Kristine Grigoryan, the defender of human rights and especially of the LGBT community, after thinking and studying all day, at the end of the day issued a new statement, which came close to strongly condemning the actions of the police.
“The defender notes that in any case, and especially in such sensitive and emotionally overstressed situations, police officers must act strictly proportionally and refrain from such physical interference. The opposite is unacceptable. The Ombudsman’s staff has started an investigation into what happened, and within its framework, the Ombudsman will demand detailed clarifications from the police, including the actions of individual officers”, this is how the HRD made a toothless and unaddressed statement, befitting the style of international structures.

From this attitude of theirs, it becomes clear that tomorrow those same policemen will attack the bereaved mothers protecting their children’s graves from unwanted persons with even harsher and immoral methods.

The events that took place in the morning in Yerablur caused everyone’s indignation. The enraged red berets, dragging and causing physical injuries to the relatives of the victims, removed them from the cemetery so that Nikol Pashinyan could ascend unhindered and stage a mourning ceremony. We talked about what happened with the former Deputy Chief of Police, Major General Gagik Hambardzumyan.

“What kind of disproportionate power can we talk about, when jackals only show mean behavior, which you don’t need to be a lawyer, human rights defender, or other specialist to understand? Disproportionate force can be used, for example, during a rally, but when force is used in such an insolent manner against the parents of fallen servicemen, mothers, white-haired, black-clad… what kind of disproportionate force can we talk about, it’s just a crime? If such violence is done abroad, even to a dog, animal defenders will make a big noise, they will tear their necks, how can the mother of a soldier who died for the motherland be subjected to violence in front of her son’s grave, which has become something like a sacred thing for us”, referring to this morning. Gagik Hambardzumyan told “Hraparak” about the incident that took place in Yerablur.

According to him, what happened today in Yerablur is a crime. “If possible, those so-called policemen should be killed, and the one who gave the order should be killed and it will be legal, after all, there is Article 42 of the Criminal Code, which allows to stop such ugliness. Those crooks should be held accountable for what they did. They are just a scam. Arrogance should have limits, they lack not only masculinity and law-abidingness, but also all kinds of human qualities. They are a mass of amoebas devoid of everything – biomass. Just as they are like that, so is their leader, that police chief named Vahe Ghazaryan. From the monkey president to the treacherous prime minister, everyone is a moron,” says our interlocutor.

Gagik Hambardzumyan also referred to RA Police Chief Vahe Ghazaryan, he mentioned the following. “Vahe Ghazaryan must first be a man to come out of his hiding place. Vahe Ghazaryan is not a man, if he was a man he would have said that he decided all this himself, or that he has nothing to do with this. That misunderstanding was even given the rank of general, and he did many things. What are the houses bought in Armenia and abroad with the money bribed by the Prime Minister? They are demoralized, alienated phenomena. As much hatred and bile they have towards Armenia, the Armenian people and the homeland, they are real scum. I can’t fathom these. Perhaps no normal person can understand all this,” he concluded.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention condemned in the strongest terms the atrocities committed by Azerbaijanis against Armenian servicemen, especially against women serving in the Armenian military and medical corps, during Azerbaijan’s latest aggression against Armenia. 

In a statement, the institute called on governments around the world to condemn Azerbaijan and call on the international media to accurately report on the campaign of terror.

The recent atrocities committed by Azeri troops have been shared on the social media site Telegram, just as they were during the 2020 war. They are being celebrated on Azeri social media and serve to wound, humiliate, demoralize, and terrorize Armenians as a whole, everywhere in the world, but especially in the Republics of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and Armenia,” the statement reads

The first video that appeared on Telegram captured Azerbaijani soldiers surrounding the body of a naked woman (the identity of Armenian sniper Anush Apetyan was later established). She was partially decapitated, her legs were cut off, at least one finger was cut off and placed in her mouth, and one eye was poked out and replaced with a stone. Azerbaijani soldiers surrounding her are celebrating and mocking her.

According to the institute, a second video has surfaced online showing the stripped and tortured body of Armenian nurse Irina Gasparyan.

“Due to Azerbaijan’s permanent denial of its crimes, and the lack of international condemnation, it is currently impossible to carry out any investigations to determine the proper nature of these war crimes. The evidence is in the hands of Azerbaijanis, and it is very unlikely that under the current scenario any national or international independent investigatory team will be able to access them. Preserving evidence of these war crimes, which could also constitute crimes against humanity and/or genocide, is essential for accountability and prevention. Therefore, we call upon the international community to order an urgent investigation of all current and past atrocities.

“These videos are reminiscent of tactics used by the Islamic State against ethnic and religious minorities in Syria and Iraq as well as tactics employed by the Turkish military against Kurdish fighters in eastern Turkey. 

“In case one is tempted to make the mistake of thinking that these atrocities are isolated events, the Lemkin Institute wishes to point out the terroristic pattern that ties these atrocities to anti-Armenianism practiced in Azerbaijan, in Turkey, and by the Grey Wolves terrorist organization that is supported by both of these states. To this point, on Saturday, an Azeri diplomat threatened to rape Armenian women protesting Azerbaijan’s war of aggression in Washington, DC, with the words “I will [expletive] you,” the authors note.

The Lemkin Institute believes that Azerbaijan is committing a slow genocide – a genocide through a thousand strikes – against Armenians with the full support of Turkey, a NATO member. In such a situation, Western calls for Armenia to negotiate with Azerbaijan and Turkey over the status of Artsakh, a corridor through Syunik and Azerbaijani-occupied territory in the Republic of Armenia are shortsighted and dangerous. Western powers should have the courage to admit that they support Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They must take immediate action to isolate these regimes bent on committing genocide,” the statement reads, the authors of which remind – the entire territory inhabited by Armenians must be protected and guarded, including territories in Artsakh.

“Governments, organizations, companies, and agencies that continue to empower these genocidal states are currently and will continue to be complicit in these atrocity crimes — unless they change course and actively work against the impunity that Turkey and Azerbaijan have enjoyed for far too long. The Lemkin Institute is dedicated to preventing genocide and ensuring that perpetrators, including those who are complicit in genocide, are held legally and morally accountable,” it concluded.

“It is high time for Europe and the United Nations to put an end to these atrocities that are tantamount to crimes against humanity,” the Turkish leader said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday accused Greece of persecuting migrants in the Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean as it called on the long-time rival country to respond to Ankara’s calls for cooperation.

Erdoğan made the remarks during an address at the 77th session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

“Greece is turning the Aegean into a cemetery for migrants,” the Turkish leader said, adding that country “with its illegal pushbacks increases the violence against migrants.’’

Migrants are among the string of ongoing sources of tension between Turkey and Greece. Ankara has frequently blamed Greece of engaging in violent and unlawful pushbacks against refugees, saying the acts are a crime against humanity, a charge Athens denies. 

Athens, for its part, accuses Ankara of using asylum-seeking migrants as political weapons, saying that it is obliged to stop them covertly entering Greece under a 2016 EU-Turkey deal to stem migration flows.

“It is high time for Europe and the United Nations to put an end to these atrocities that are tantamount to crimes against humanity,” the Turkish leader said.

Continued stability and peace in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean depend on the “respect of everybody’s rights and interests,” Erdoğan said.

Oil-and-gas drilling rights in the Eastern Mediterranean, specifically around Greek islands near Turkey’s coastline, is among the other sources of conflict between the countries.

“We call on Greece to cease its policy of provocations and tension and to respond to the call for cooperation and support,” he added.

The latest bout of tensions between Turkey and Greece was sparked by Ankara accusing Athens of arming islands in the Aegean Sea that have a demilitarized status, a claim Athens rejects.

Artak Bagratyan, administrative head of the Kechut settlement of Jermuk, noted that one Azerbaijani shell fell on the territory of the cemetery, while three more fell in a reservoir.

“In our village, there are no victims amid the aggression of Azerbaijanis. Seven dwelling houses were damaged, and 100 hectares of fields were burnt down. The water line, which the adversary has now seized, was damaged…A gas pipeline has also been damaged. Only today, electricity and gas supplies have been restored,” he noted.

Besides, a large number of cattle were killed. A lot of cattle pens have been damaged as well.

According to him, about 30% of the village population has already returned, including women and children, but the school and kindergarten are not functioning yet.
