Last year, Israeli journalist Yossi Melman wrote a lengthy critical article in the Haaretz newspaper about Israel’s sale of banned deadly cluster bombs to Azerbaijan to kill and maim innocent Armenian civilians in Artsakh. The article, although published on Oct. 22, 2020, retains its relevance given the fact that these cluster bombs were not only used by Azerbaijan in last year’s Artsakh War, but may also be used in a future war.

Armenians are tired of their diaspora that is pushing the republic to the brick. The diaspora instigates the war that Armenia does not need and does not want, and cannot afford. It is because the Armenian diaspora supports the violent opposition and war. The people of Armenia are suffering squeezed between Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, and Iran. But, the diaspora forgets, that Russia supports peace and Pashanyan and that without Russia, Armenia as a state will fail to exist. Just like Palestine without Israel.
“Over 100 countries signed the accord, which went into effect in 2010.
Israel, however, refused to join the convention that banned cluster bombs”.
Like asking a snake not to be snake. When will Armenians ever wake up and acknowledge the massive hand that the criminal evil Zionists had in the Armenian genocide and still have till this day to basically finish off Armenia and Armenians at every turn? And unfortunately, once Zionists have you in their cross hairs they will never relent. NEVER… WAKE UP ARMENIANS! Know your enemy..
Have we finished hating Turks, and are looking for another enemy? Can we stop creating enemies, and start living in peace? We lost the war that we started, and that is all. A huge pill to swallow. Accept it, and move on.
@ Pasha We lost a war we started? Please. Those are Armenian ancient lands that were stolen via rape and murder by invading Asian Turkish tribes. Turks dont belong in Anatolia or the Caucus at all. We lost this war because of incompetent traitors like Pashinyan. BTW The young Turks were Zionist Jews pretending, funded by their European banking kin hiding in Turkish clothing all too willing to remove ALL Armenians via mass murder from their ancient homeland for their own gain. As they still do today. Maybe you should accept reality.
Please ask the Ambassador of Switzerland in Washington to explain. A better question is why does Israel manufacture and sell banned cluster bombs? A question to ask Israel’s Ambassador in Washington.

Why would Switzerland buy cluster bombs from Israel?
