Artsakh’s capital of Stepanakert was an overnight target of Azeri airstrikes following the conclusion of an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Anush Ghavalyan, who represents the Office of the Security Council of the Republic of Artsakh, was tweeting that sirens were blaring throughout the early morning hours. Edgar Elbakyan, a political scientist currently based out of Stepanakert, tweeted that an Azerbaijani UAV hit the center of the city at 2:35 a.m. local time.
And what is Russia doing to support Armenia when Turkey shot down an Armenian aircraft over Armenian airspace ?
Hopefully this conflict will make many Armenians see that Russia cannot be trusted to help us at our time of greatest need. I sincerely hope that Russia doesn’t become a dog in the manger for Armenia
My dear Armenian brother, India will offer to stand up for you, should you request us, because you stood up for us, when the whole world shunned us for taking action on what is rightfully ours, KASHMIR….now that Pakistan has also sent terrorists along your border, under the aegis of Turkey, WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PROUD ARMENIAN PEOPLE, WHO’VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH SUFFERING!
First of all,
We have to beat the Azeris so they understand Armenia is strong
Second, we should capture Baku as It is our lost territory ARARTU kingdom
and all Diaspora Armenians return to Baku to rule Azeris.
