Pashinyan Turning Azerbaijan into Angel State, Sumgait, and Maragha genocides was removed from the RA Prosecutor’s Office

By

The Sumgait section, which contained very valuable and factual materials about Azerbaijani crimes against humanity, was removed from the official website of the RA Prosecutor’s Office.

Pastinfo reports. The department was opened back in 2010, where the materials of the criminal cases initiated in connection with the massacres of Armenians in the territory of Soviet Azerbaijan in the late 1980s and Nagorno Karabakh in the early 1990s were published. The “Sumgait” page had 4 sections with its subsections according to the types of committed crimes and administrative areas.

In particular, in the “Sumgait” section, the testimonies of the witnesses, the testimonies of the victims and their successors regarding the murders, rapes, violence and robberies were published, in the “Documents” section, the already declassified references summarizing the materials of the criminal case. In the “Mountain Karabakh” section, the materials of the criminal case were placed according to administrative-territorial units, including the materials related to the Maragha genocide. At that time, the Prosecutor’s Office digitized the criminal case materials in cooperation with the non-governmental organization “Initiative for the Prevention of Xenophobia”, and participation in digitization was voluntary. The department was created on the basis of the electronic archive, that is, it contained only documentary evidence, preventing the falsification and concealment of crimes committed against humanity. A few days ago,

“Pastinfo” noticed that the “Sumgait” section was removed from the website of the prosecutor’s office. In order to find out the reasons for the removal of the large-scale and important work of historical importance from the official website, the media contacted the press and public relations department of the RA Prosecutor’s Office, where they first reacted with surprise, then asked for time to find out whether there is such information on the website or not. , and later, they gave the reason that due to the implementation of technical works related to the site, the materials of the section are currently unavailable, assuring that after the completion of the work on the modernization of the site, the section summarizing the materials of eyewitnesses telling about the genocides of Sumgait and Maragha, with the entire volume of information, will be available for website visitors. The “Pastinfo” news agency will be consistent in finding out and publishing about the progress of the work on the restoration of the electronic archive, which is highly valuable for history.

German Spiegel News Paper: Aid convoys to Nagorno-Karabakh #Artsakh are blocked by Azerbaijan

By

the people of Nagorno-Karabakh lack medicines, hygiene items, and baby food. The Red Cross is appealing for deliveries to be allowed back into the region. Statements by Russia’s foreign minister give little hope.

According to the International Red Cross (ICRC), the humanitarian situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is disputed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, is coming to a head. Despite ongoing efforts, the International Committee of the Red Cross is currently unable to provide humanitarian aid to the civilian population via the so-called Lachin Corridor or other routes. In a statement, the organization appealed to the relevant decision-makers to allow the ICRC to resume its vital humanitarian work in the area.

Azerbaijan has established a checkpoint on the Lachin Corridor, which controls access to Nagorno-Karabakh via this route.

Azerbaijan dictatorship refuses to allow the transportation of humanitarian aid through the occupied Berdzor corridor.

By

The dictatorship regime of Azerbaijan refuses to allow the transportation of humanitarian aid through the occupied Berdzor corridor.

Russian peacekeepers have been in negotiations with the Azerbaijani side for several hours, while trucks carrying humanitarian aid remain at the Hakari bridge. Azerbaijan is refusing to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the residents of Artsakh through the Berdzor Corridor, instead demanding the aid go through Akna (Aghdam).

In Baku, Azerbaijan claims that an agreement was reached during the meeting in Brussels to use the road through Akna for supplies to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). More than 400 tons of humanitarian aid is blocked from reaching 120,000 peaceful civilians of Artsakh who have been blockaded by the terrorist regime for 227 days. The shipment comprises 60 tons of sugar, 40 tons of oil, 100 tons of flour, 80 tons of pasta, 20 tons of powdered milk, 12 tons of baby food, and 9 tons of medication. The contents of the aid trucks for the people of Artsakh were verified in the presence of foreign diplomats, with a representative from the Russian Embassy in Armenia, Maxim Seleznev, participating in the inspection.

Yerevan: The families of missing soldiers block Baghramyan Avenue, demanding a meeting with PM Pashinyan

By

The parents and relatives of a group of soldiers who went missing during a military operation in Nagorno Karabakh in 2021 held a protest in front of the presidential residence in Yerevan, demanding a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan who has temporarily moved and works at this building.

The protesters, who complain that nothing has been done so far to find out what happed to their sons, blocked Baghramyan Avenue.

“They have been deceiving us for three years, we have no choice but to take this step,” said one of the parents.

It comes after they protested in front of the government building a week ago. Then the parents were promised that a date would be set for a meeting with the prime minister. However, until now, the meeting has not been organized, which has prompted today’s protest.

“They asked us to give them some time, now a week has passed already, and there is no answer. We will not leave until Nikol Pashinyan accepts us. If necessary we will wait for another 10 days,” said another parent.

Armenian Nationwide rallies against the blockade of Artsakh force Pashinyan to capitulate and send aid to Artsakh Video.

On July 25, at the same time, nationwide rallies were held on Renaissance Square in Stepanakert and on Freedom Square in Yerevan demanding the unblocking of Artsakh and the realization of its right to self-determination.

The 120,000 population of Artsakh has been living under the blockade organized by Azerbaijan for seven months. The photo sequence tells about the rally that took place in Yerevan, after which its participants went to the Yerablur military pantheon.

War Criminal Pashinyan Virtually Rules Out Military Intervention if Baku Attacks Artsakh

By

Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan today gave a somewhat circuitous answer when asked if the country’s armed forces would come to the defense of Artsakh if attacked by Azerbaijan.

Pashinyan, during a televised press conference today, said Armenia’s military is constitutionally obligated to ensure the country’s territorial integrity and security.

Pashinyan said Nagorno Karabakh has its own defense force given Azerbaijan’s continued aggression, adding that the rights and security of Armenians there much be ensured in a format that they regard as trustworthy.

Pashinyan has called for direct talks between Stepanakert and Baku under international supervision. Artsakh government officials today called for a UN presence in the region.

Pashinyan avoided a Hetq reporter’s question that the Armenian military, before and during the 2020 war, actively participated in the defense of Artsakh.

“We do not want a new war and we must do everything to prevent a new war. We must do everything to restore the territorial integrity of Armenia through the peace process, in the logic of demarcation and delimitation,” Pashinyan replied.

Serj Tankian’s Hypocrisy… Who is he appealing to for help? Artsakh is in dire need of assistance

By

Who is he appealing to for help? Why doesn’t he approach his favored individual Nikol Pashinyan? Armenians worldwide are in dire need of assistance for Artsakh, but there seems to be a lack of attention toward removing the individual responsible for ceding Artsakh to Azerbaijan. As long as Armenia’s own prime minister continues to undermine the right to self-determination and subjugates them to Azerbaijani control, any external aid won’t be sufficient to truly rescue Artsakh. he can easily go to Armenia to demand Pashinyan’s resignation…

Is there ethical media left in the world?

By

By Wally Sarkeesian,

Yes and No, However, even in such environments, there are often brave journalists and media organizations that strive to maintain ethical standards and provide accurate and unbiased information. These journalists may face considerable risks, including harassment, intimidation, imprisonment, or even violence for their work in the case of the example of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey just to name just a few. Despite the challenges, they continue to play a crucial role in exposing corruption, human rights abuses, and other injustices.

The responsibility of the media is multifaceted and plays a crucial role in society. It can be summarized into the following key points:

  1. Informing the Public: One of the primary responsibilities of the media is to provide accurate and reliable information to the public. This includes reporting on current events, issues, and developments both locally and globally. The media acts as a bridge between the events happening in the world and the people who need to be informed about them.
  2. Promoting Transparency and Accountability: The media plays a vital role in holding individuals, organizations, and governments accountable for their actions. Investigative journalism and in-depth reporting help shed light on corruption, abuses of power, and other unethical practices, thereby promoting transparency and helping to maintain a just and fair society.
  3. Educating and Providing Analysis: Media outlets should strive to educate the public by offering in-depth analysis and context on complex issues. Through well-researched articles, documentaries, and interviews, the media can help citizens better understand the world they live in.
  4. Safeguarding Democracy: An independent and responsible media is crucial for a functioning democracy. It enables citizens to make informed decisions and participate actively in the democratic process. By reporting on political activities and providing diverse viewpoints, the media contributes to a healthy and robust democracy.
  5. Respecting Ethical Standards: Responsible media organizations adhere to ethical guidelines and principles. These standards include accuracy, impartiality, fairness, and respect for privacy. Upholding ethical practices is essential to maintaining credibility and trust with the audience.
  6. Promoting Diversity and Inclusivity: The media should strive to represent and include diverse voices and perspectives from various communities. This fosters a broader understanding of different cultures, experiences, and opinions, leading to a more inclusive society.
  7. Avoiding Sensationalism and Misinformation: Responsible media outlets should avoid sensationalizing news and spreading misinformation or disinformation. Sensationalism can distort the truth and mislead the public, while misinformation can have harmful consequences on public perception and decision-making.
  8. Providing a Platform for Public Discourse: The media serves as a platform for open dialogue and debate on various issues. It allows people with differing viewpoints to express their opinions and engage in constructive discussions.

Overall, the media’s responsibility lies in serving the public interest, being a watchdog for society, and contributing to the overall well-being of communities and nations. Responsible and ethical media plays a vital role in shaping public discourse, knowledge, and awareness.

3rd President of Armenia sends open letter to Russia, France, US heads

By

@SecBlinken, @BBolgesi @KremlinRussia_E @EmmanuelMacron

The third president of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, addressed US President Joe Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and French President Emmanuel Macron with an open letter.

“Open letter

H.E. Joseph R. Biden Jr, President of the United States of America

H.E. Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation

H.E. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic 

Your Excellencies: 

A few days ago three-year-old Leo and six-year-old Ghita died of suffocation in one of the villages of Mardakert region, Republic of Artsakh. They went out of home in search of their mother, who had earlier left for the city on foot in search for food. 

The siege of Artsakh has been ongoing for seven months. Now it started claiming lives – of both the elderly and children, of common people, whose only guilt is being born on the land of their ancestors and the love for life. We appreciate all those influential states and international organisations who have so far spoken out without ambiguities of the present situation. Such statements are crucial for the people of Artsakh who are fighting for life. However, unfortunately, such statements alone did not save the lives of little Leo and Ghita. It’s most appalling that words alone may fail to save the lives of many more children and the elderly – not in the virtual future, but literally next morning. 

Today the physical survival of 120.000 Armenians in Artsakh is very literally endangered. With each of you we have had many opportunities in the past to talk about what happened to Armenians in 1915, as well as the very consequences of the Armenian Genocide. Now, 108 years later, we are facing the immediate danger of the repetition of the same gruesome events, albeit carried out in modern methods. 

Your Excellencies, Presidents: 

I appeal to you first and foremost as Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries, as leaders who have first-hand knowledge of where the Nagorno Karabakh peace process has taken us by 2018. It’s in that year that our society has made an emotional choice and transferred reins of power to a politician who had no idea of what statehood was. I fully realize that many considered that as opportunity to try and resolve the issue of Artsakh by leveraging on that individual’s unreasonable steps that had nothing to do with the real interests of our country. Yet, as a matter of fact, the conflict has not been resolved, and the associated problems have deepened, whereas that very individual no more has the vote of confidence of our people to recognize Artsakh as part of another state. Neither he has any vote of confidence on behalf of the people of Artsakh to singlehandedly decide their destiny. 

I am appealing to you as leaders of countries where you have unquestionable institutional memory pertaining to the issue of Artsakh. Today, in contrast to the incumbent Armenian authorities, there are serious professionals and experts about the Nagorno Karabakh peace process in various institutions of your respective countries, who have knowledge about all nuances and are well aware of all prior phases of conflict resolution.

I am appealing to you as your former counterpart, as someone whose objectives and principles are well known to you. I resorted to this genre given my lack of direct access to you. We exchange no official visits or one-on-one formats, channels of communications through political party formats are either weak or missing, since the relevant opposition party officials have been either persecuted or simply jailed in our country.

I am appealing to tell you what has been happening in Artsakh is a direct route to a terrible catastrophe. 

I am appealing to ask you to give a chance to life to the people in Artsakh. It’s a great personal tragedy for me that years ago we used to negotiate settlements by which the people of Artsakh would live in their own country in dignity, yet now we are talking about merely giving them a chance to life, asking for their right to live.

We have taken note with sense of appreciation all your efforts aimed at resolving this issue. Yet what is happening these days will not lead to any such settlement that you may quite diligently have envisioned. Direct negotiations between an experienced dictator and someone silly and incapable will simply not reach any reasonable point. Every satisfied demand by the dictating party will lead to new ones, much more difficult to satisfy. This will continue forever and will bring large-scale catastrophes. Keeping silence or failing to devote more time to the issue of Artsakh now means that very soon your countries will be forced to take time to address the “the question of Armenia”. This is a very real scenario given the incompetent negotiator we have, moreover having a sizeable portion of the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia under occupation for some time. 

I am hereby asking you – before anything else – stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Artsakh. I believe you can do that. Force the dictator to open the “road of life”. The fascist, who has made annihilating Armenians his lifestyle, cannot be allowed to continuously disregard clear messages by most serious international organisations and states. Stop the calamity. Please, secure the most basic life conditions for the people of Artsakh. I am asking you to ensure guarantees for this, and only then transition to efforts of finding diplomatic solutions. Or else it may be late tomorrow. 

Respectfully,

Serzh Sargsyan

Third President of the Republic of Armenia.”
