Azerbaijan’s Destruction of Armenian Monuments Exceeds ISIS Crimes
“A groundbreaking forensic report tracks Azerbaijan’s destruction of 89 medieval churches, 5,480 intricate cross-stones, and 22,700 tombstones,” is the subtitle of an incredible article by Simon Maghakyan and Sarah Pickman, published in the Hyperallergic Newsletter last week. The article is titled: “A Regime Conceals its Erasure of Indigenous Armenian Culture.”

A large part of the blame here goes to the traitor Armenian “government” headed by a bunch of self-serving Clown Apparatchiks who have no opinions, ideas or standards of their own, but rely 100 percent as to what some drunk bozo in the Kremlin tells them. Imagine for example that this was in Israel and the ISIS types started doing this. All hell would break loose, with a full scale war. But wait a minute, we are talking about “Armenian Leadership” here. A bunch of lazy, self-serving, incompetent CROOKS who have no desire to make any waves so that their THIEVERY would go unnoticed. These incompetent Apparatchiks sat idly by and watched Armenian culture and history get erased. Their scam finally got exposed when Azerbaijan actually took some lands from Artsakh. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Armenian Apparatchik Traitors even had agreements with Azerbaijan to let them take over some lands. Just like Russia was taken by surprise in 1994 that the Armenians were starting to win and thus had to be forced to stop, these Apparatchiks were again surprised that the Azeri offensive failed in 2016, and the Armenian volunteers were getting ready to take care of business. They had to be stopped in order to serve the interests of the “Turkey and Russia Friendship” just like the first time around. Armenian “leadership” = Traitors.
Surely, Zatir exaggerates about the inadequacies and negative factors exhibited by Armenian governments in power; also, the current government isn’t representative of what preceded it. Of course, Armenia has suffered from internal corruption, it has made blunders, and it hasn’t always governed effectively, but to say that it has been traitorous is hyperbolic and misleading.
Another thing: The tide of the Karabakh War (1988-1994) had already shifted favorably for Armenia in 1992. The Kremlin of the USSR favored Azerbaijan, but the Kremlin of Yeltsin’s Russia favored Armenia (after the collapse of the USSR). By 1992, Armenia’s Karabakh Stronghold was enjoying an unbroken string of victories, and they only ended when the war ended in 1994. Azerbaijan was whipped, and appealed to Russia to intervene for a ceasefire. Yes, it’s true that Azerbaijan’s military operations were on the verge of collapse and a complete route, in 1994.
