The Russian peacekeeping force in Artsakh says that it has taken control of Parukh after an attack by Azerbaijan last week, while Armenian authorities say that Azeri troops maintain strategic positions near the village.
Conflicting reports have emerged over who maintains control of Parukh since Azerbaijani forces c

I doubt Azeris are doing this provocation on their own. If I recall correctly, Turkish officers were to be deployed alongside Russians for the peacekeeping operation command. What happened with that. I never heard about it afterward. I trust neither Turks nor Russians, and not even Armenian government at this time led by people who I am not even sure are Armenians, but absolute saboteurs.
This entire Pashinyan clown and eventual war was orchestrated by NATO after failing to execute the Zurich agreements during the Obama/Biden/Hillary era for whatever plans they have for the Caucasus. Armenia is in danger and we must get our intellectuals to plan how to counter this threat, otherwise there will be no more Armenia in a couple decades or sooner.
Let’s stop pretending this is a war by Azerbaijan and get to the root, which in my opinion is NATO and Turkey as the front. Does anyone honestly think Azeris are leading this operation? And does anyone honestly think Turkey is not getting the approval and likely instructions by NATO (US)?
I wish more Armenians would wake up to this sad reality that a bigger power is orchestrating a war against Armenia, especially after seeing the insane amount of propaganda and information warfare targeted at Armenia, Diaspora, and our history and reputation. Media, tech companies, bots, all deployed in a subtle manner enough not to outright offend Armenians but for those that can see, it’s clear as day.
The Israelis also have interests to target Iran, and of course like throughout history, will be fine accepting death of Armenians to achieve their ends, and then whine about anti-semitism when people like me point out facts. They need a bigger war and in particular for parts of Syunik to be in Azeri control to cut off Iran. A decade or so ago there were leaks of documents showing massive Israel-Azeri military collaboration for the inevitable war against Iran. They probably changed plans but many of us do not forget and if the puzzle piece fits…
Problem with Armenians is we are “too nice” and want to get along with everybody and not offend anyone. Why don’t we call out what we see? Like let’s ask why the US built a massive embassy and personnel in tiny Armenia? It’s well known that compounds are used for intelligence operations. What are we getting in return for it? We have that embassy and a Russian military base and we are not even sure either will protect Armenia from our enemies Turk or otherwise. Russia does not appreciate Armenia’s flip flopping and may as well hand over Armenia should Turkey ever invade.
Now most Armenians are careful when speaking about Ukraine as to not offend others. Why! Any enemy of Armenians NEEDS to be called out. I don’t care who it is. Mind you this may be another anti-semitic factual comment, but anyone else notice the anti-Armenian pro-Azeri rhetoric almost always comes from a Jewish/likely Zionist background Ukranian government officials? I think I keep seeing a pattern here. Is Artsakh, Ukraine war, destabilization of Russia, all being set up for a war against… Iran? Would Zionists really destroy the Armenian nation as collateral damage to achieve better outcomes for a war against Iran? Perhaps. Did Zionist leaders help the Ottomans during the genocide to try to secure Palestine? Does history repeat?
Spot on levon!
Excellent work Lillian, and remarkable observation Levon, I second Joe’s feedback. Three branches of Iranian Arm forces and law enforcement forces are briefed and logistics are in standby mode for any wrong move in our Northern borders. Iran will not tolerate aggression against Armenian territory. Liaison with Russia, Georgia, and Turkey was made last year and reiterated last week. Iran’s long-standing geopolitical policy of defensive doctrine was changed to preventive suppression of any act of aggression.
totally right for self-interest west us nat0 eu we shouldnt lose our relations with Iran and Russia West is always anti-armenians and its sad armenians still believe west france will save armenia while they have billions business agreement while they can do same factory works in armenia but our diaspora in west very stupid and loudy far from real politics.
Turkish fingerprints are all over this. The Turkish dream had always been to have a direct path to Central Asia where their ancestors come from. They still have not given up on their failed and mythical “Land of Turan” uniting Turkic people from Mediterranean to the gates of China. Today, in absence of now-defunct Soviet Empire, the Turks want access to Central Asia which has plenty energy reserves. By controlling Central Asia, the Turks can monopolize on energy exports to Europe and as a result have major role in their foreign policies in the region. But the problem is that today Armenia is physically, and otherwise, an obstacle in achieving this dream. The current criminal Turkish leadership has been taking advantage of this conflict, conducting a proxy war on Armenia through Azerbaijan, in hopes of achieving that dream. Furthermore, as part of Zionist plan, they want to turn Armenia into a landlocked island in order to detach it from our friendly Iranian neighbor to the south to isolate Iran altogether. Generally speaking, to them any state that has any association with Iran is not viewed in friendly terms. It is their way or the highway as they say. We of course must never allow this to happen and I’m sure Iran will never allow this to happen either because, in addition to Armenia, this move is also a direct threat to Iran’s sovereignty. I see a scheme here to destabilize Iran-Armenia border region with bad intentions!
the west for their interest and their dream wipe out Iran from map they can betray Armenia armenia shouldnt trust the west eu un us NAT0 they are all anti armenian organizations.
