The Azerbaijani army has unilaterally launched a “counter-terrorist operation” on the territory of the unrecognized Armenian Republic of Artsakh.
The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced that local anti-terrorist actions would be carried out to restore the constitutional order.
The formal reason given was the explosion of two pieces of equipment by mines in the “gray zone”: the Azerbaijanis claim that civilians were killed.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry called Azerbaijan’s military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh “large-scale aggression”.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry calls on the UN Security Council and Russian peacekeepers to take measures to stop Azerbaijan’s hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh.
“The Azerbaijani side did not warn Russian peacekeepers in advance about today’s anti-terrorist operation in Nagorno-Karabakh” - Maria Zakharova
"The information was communicated to the Russian contingent a few minutes before the start of hostilities,” said a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.
The Armenian Apostolic Church called Azerbaijan’s actions in Nagorno-Karabakh genocide and called on international organizations to adequately respond to Baku.
The Azerbaijani army launched a major attack in the directions of Askeran, Agdere, Khojaly, and Khojavend with the support of armored units
The Azerbaijani army shells the outskirts of Stepanakert in Nagorno-Karabakh with artillery. The air raid warning sounds in the city.
Artsakh Defense Forces: “The Azerbaijani Armed Forces are trying to advance into depth of Artsakh. The Defense Forces continue to resist Azerbaijan’s offensive along the entire line of contact.”
“Azerbaijan launched a ground operation to ethnically cleanse the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia did not give anyone a mandate to carry out ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh” - Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan
Do you actually believe this? Honestly? What part of preventing ethnic cleansing did trying and failing to take Kiev play? Digging ditches in radioactive forests? Being made look foolish at an airfield?
My friend your failing capitalist state you’ve chosen to support is now so weak it can’t hold back Azerbaijan.
I’m not going to rehash all of the myths and nonsense about the Ukraine conflict that you brought up, there is plenty of info out there if you care to un-indoctrinate yourself.
On the situation with Artsakh i will just say this: it is not Russia’s responsibility, it is Armenia’s. If Armenia does not ask for help then Russia cannot force it on them. Russia has no CSTO obligations toward Nagorno-Karabakh. Its treaty is with Armenia, and Armenia does not claim Karabakh as its own territory. Armenia explicitly recognizes Azeri sovereignty over N-K. Therefore as far as Russia and the rest of the world is concerned it is an internal Azerbaijan matter. Armenia has decided it does not want to get involved to protect its people, so why should Russia? You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.
What you want Russia to pre-emptively strike Azerbaijan as well? Jesus fuck you liberals are blood thirsty mongrels. Nice F-35 btw, that shitshow was funny asf. Now piss off
The baku regime persecutes the shia majority. So ideally i would like iran to protect its people and reintegrate the territory.
Liberals? F-35? Oh you think I’m American. Hi, I’m Irish, and an actual voting socialist, not an edgy teen who thinks Russia’s petro-oligarchy has anything in common with the Soviet Union.
I don’t want Russia to do anything, but it’s just amusing to see the amount of coping happening here now that it’s clear the vultures are starting to circle the Putin regime.
I do wonder who this ‘edgy teen’ that supports Russia is. Haven’t seen any here.
And you must be new here, news flash we do not like russia either, but we don’t parrot NATO propaganda in order to criticise russia. Talk smack on russia whenever you want, but if you do pull some pro-imperialist gibberish, then don’t be surprised when your called out for it. And yes we do like to see putin’s regime collapse in russia, and an ML soviet government in charge, but we won’t support opportunists, or puppets like Navalny. And before you ask, we do not support ukraine.
Welcome to lemmygrad :).
You vote in bourgeois elections and that makes you a socialist? You seem confused.
“Actual voting socialist.”
Its amusing
It’s nice that they let you communicate with pictures.
Here’s a picture for you
wait for it
