  1. we need to remove all azeri illegals and military once and for all- and will Russia help? no- we can do it- we have all the resources- we must stay united with our Armenian govt always and destroy the enemy that occupies all our lands-all places – time to act- soon- we may have severley lost a battle or two-but not the war with the old enemies- azeri move or we will move all of u

  2. The arrests (in other words, kidnapping) and maltreatment and torture of Armenians by Azerbaijan, along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border the past three years since the end of the war, should have rung alarm bells then, but still fall on deaf ears.

    Now, the Azerbaijanis have begun to abduct Armenians of Artsakh, under the noses of the Russian “peacekeepers” and with the tacit connivance of Putin, who continues to punish Armenia under the incompetent imbecile Pashinyan, for his pro-Western policy.

    The kidnapping of Artsakhis by Azerbaijan, are just a taste of things to come. When Azerbaijan marches into the rest of Artsakh in two years time, not only will they cruelly ethnically cleanse Armenians from their homeland and destroy Armenian heritage (which they did in the rest of Artsakh), many will be abducted and disappear.

    One does not need to be clairvoyant, to know that is exactly going to happen, when the criminal Aliyev dictatorship is further appeased by Russia and the West, who turn a blind eye to the plight of Armenians. Azerbaijan consequently becomes steadily more emboldened to commit such crimes and worse crimes.

    So many warnings have been made for years, which, bit by bit, are becoming true.

  3. Long live democracy. Long live westernization. Long live the color revolution of 2018, paid for by Western and Turkish interests, and supported by the diaspora. Thank goodness that those corrupt puppets of Moscow were chased out of power just in time. Well done Armenian world!!!
