1. This goes to illustrate once again how badly Baku would treat Artsakh Armenians if it ever got its dirty hands on Artsakh again.

   That is, if Baku would treat a Russian/Israeli like this imagine what it would do to Armenians (and we know it massaxred and repressed Armenians there anyway).

   This is one reason that Azeris cannot be let back into Artsakh as part of any peace deal. Azeris would deliberately stir up trouble, and Baku would use it as an excuse to attack. It would not matter if there were “peacekeepers” there or not. Baku would even send over missiles and artillery shells.

   Then the whole mess would start all over again. You want that?

   • 1. Why should we give to the Azeris what is ours and was regained only after a six year-war in which there were thousands of Armenian casualties in addition to the Armenian refugees who fled the Az pogroms?
     2. Why should we give our land to a country which drove out Armenians from Armenian Nakhichevan?
     3. Why should we give our land to the genocidier Azeris who are allies of racist Turkey, the master of organized genocides?
     4. Why should we give our land to the enemy thus making our homeland vulnerable to attacks by the Turkic duo?
     5. Why should we give our land to a country whose leader has repeatedly claimed that all of Armenia belongs to Azerbaijan?
     Citing 6., 7., 8…would be redundant.

   • Contrast Vahan’s comment – reasonable and, most importantly, understandable to the wider world – with Mike’s nationalistic bullet-pointed one. Vahan’s is a position drawing on individual human rights and self determination, not a solution-less “why should we” do anything. A resumption of any Azeri control over Artsakh means genocide, and any individual or group or country that supports that resumption is an enabler of genocide. I think that is the only position that needs to be presented to the world, the only position that should be elaborated on and explained. All the “it’s our land” stuff is ineffective as a support-gaining argument and probably does more harm than good.

2. I suppose if Alexander Valeryevich had murdered an innocent Armenian with an axe rather than crossing over the border into Artsakh, the Aliyev government of Azerbaijan would not only have freed him upon his extradition to Azerbaijan but would have received and decorated him as a hero. I guess we now have some idea of what the “Baku Court of Grave Crimes” prioritizes.

3. Has anyone else noticed? For a long while now, Azerbaijan and Israel had been kissing each others’ rears through their fake news and articles using their media and praising their “millenia long friendships” with their typical anti-Armenian views thrown in, and how for Israel, Azerbaijan was such a “tolerant and free nation”. Then when this Israeli-Jewish-Russian was thrown in jail for – freedom of speech – the silence from Israel was deafening. Typical.

4. Shame on Belarus, they fell into the hands of a man who cannot be trusted a through and through dictator. He was probably pressured by Israel,( the country that feeds the azeri’s with arms and technical assistance) to release Lapshin or else? There is always something behind something like this – remember that murderer who was released by Hungary to azerbaijan and we all know what happened. Shame on Hungary on that too. Money speaks many languages.

5. We await further details explaining what sort of deal was worked out between Azerbaijan and Israel.

6. Aliyev, by pardoning Lapshin, is playing politics. He is kissing Russian and Israeli tuchus.
