Azerbaijan is testing Armenia’s red lines
The decision by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to hand over the four villages of Baghanis, Voskepar, Kirants and Berkaber in the Tavush province to Azerbaijan has been described in a variety of ways, with some calling the decision a treacherous action by the government, while others referring to it as a key step towards the normalization of ties between the two countries. While I was trying to understand which perspective is right and which is wrong, I received a message from one of my international friends from Luxembourg. She asked what was happening in Armenia and why there are such widespread protests in the country.
In response to my description of the situation, she said: “I have a question though; what is Armenia getting in return for ceding these villages to Azerbaijan? Because so far I only understand that Armenia is giving in to Aliyev’s demands and making compromises, but maybe it just hasn’t been highlighted by the media what Armenia gets. Except for promises of ‘peace,’ but…”

Alas this is the result of obsinate behaviour post 1994 ceasefire Armenian governments made in maximilism whilst not having the confidence to incorporate Arktash. In trying to hold on to everything ends up losing everything. Also the tragic presumptions about Russia who has never been to Armenia what the USA is to Israel and was to the Kosovo Albanian cause yet due to desperation and wishful ignorance has been reverered as though it was. The grave error was mistakenly counting on Russia and overating the 1994 ceasefire on favourable terms as a decisive final victory. Russias betrayal and Armenia epiphany about this still leaves Armenia with no meaningful support. Azerbaijan is clearly pushing it’s advantages in ways that Hitler would know the problem for Armenia is that it has no one to back them decisively. Azerbaijan is likely to insist on pre 1975 Soviet boundaries which favoured it even more and an extraterritorial corridor as a reparations for occupation of its internationally recognised territory. The sad thing is this is in part a result of the abysmal failure of Armenian diplomats who it seems were brainwashed from the Soviet era in not seeing the reality about Armenia relative decline in prowess after 1994 and that Russia would deem Armenia to be taken for granted owing to the issues with Turkey and Azerbaijan. The tragedy is that Armenia has fallen into the position of concessions and appeasement to avoid war which will only continue as it doesn’t serve Azerbaijan to bind itself to any treaty which would forbid it to behave this way.
Those Armenian zombies who think what incompetent traitor Pashinyan is doing are key steps towards the normalization of ties between the two countries should be deported to artificial Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to feel the results up close. I’m really surprised that some among our people act as if they don’t know what our cunning enemies are all about. They think they can coexist with them side-by-side in peace and harmony. They are mistaken and need a wake-up call. Before the 2020 joint Turkish-Azerbaijani invasion of Armenian territories liberated from the enemy in 1994, many among the enemy population were calling for peace and mutual understanding and pointing fingers at outsiders for the conflict between the two sides. That was because they felt helpless and vulnerable back then and not because they believed in all the lies they were spewing.
Today with terrorist Turkey on their side, and feeling they have the upper hand, they have changed their tunes revealing their TRUE fascist ideology as displayed in the above pictures. These people have not changed and will never change like their Turkish step-cousins-in-crime have not in a thousand years. Wake up already! Kick the current sheep-in-chief Pashinyan out, strengthen the army, unite as one, declare artificial Azerbaijan as the eastern part and an extension of modern Armenia, A.K.A. Eastern Armenia, a historical fact, and when the time is right take the fight to the enemy. They know quite well what we united as one are capable of doing to them. They have already experienced it. The black sheep of the family Pashinyan and the likes of him do not represent our nation and that’s why they have more support among our enemies than they do among our people and the enemy is exploiting this to the fullest. Time to remind coward Ilham what we did to his KGB daddy can be done to him too. Village dog Er-dog-an can’t be his sugar-daddy forever!
