fra le due ex repubbliche sovietiche non è mai stata così in bilico.
Da ormai settimane i civili armeni si addestrano in palestre improvvisate all'utilizzo di armi e tecniche di guerra. Promettono di combattere fino all'ultimo connazionale, invocano un intervento in loro

El gobierno de #Azerbaiyán invitó a representantes de #Artsakh a #Bakú para celebrar una reunión para "discutir temas de integración e implementación de proyectos de infraestructura en Karabaj".
¿Qué implica el término “integración” aquí? 👇🏼
¿Qué implica el término “integración” aquí? 👇🏼
#Azerbaiyán considera a #Artsakh como territorio azerí y a su población como minoría armenia de su país. En general, el término “integración” tiene una connotación positiva;sin embargo, Azerbaiyán se refiere al modo en que termine de ocupar la totalidad de Artsakh ¿Esto es malo?
Sí.El gobierno de #Azerbaiyán afirma en lo discursivo que protegerá los #derechos del pueblo de #Artsakh como sus ciudadanos.Sin embargo,en la práctica,la toma de la totalidad de Artsakh implica limpieza étnica. #Armenia asegura que la vida de un armenio no está garantizada en 🇦🇿
1/5 The armed forces of Azerbaijan went to provocation in #NagornoKarabakh. On March 25, they violated the line of contact in the Shushi-Lisagor section and occupied the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

2/5 The government of #Karabakh expects the peacekeeping forces of the #Russia to take steps to eliminate the #Azerbaijani violation. For days, 🇦🇿 has been spreading the lie that ammunition is being transported from 🇦🇲 to NK via the Stepanakert-Ghaibalishen-Lisagor mountain road.
3/5 It was a false pretext in order to carry out this provocation. Karabakh announced that, being surrounded for more than 100 days, this mountain road is being used to communicate with 4 villages of Stepanakert, Shushi regions.
Today, Sergey Lavrov visited #Russia's faithful ally #Azerbaijan. #Putin really supported #Aliyev in arming the army and winning the war against #Armenia and #NagornoKarabakh.

The terror attack at embassy of #Azerbaijan Republic (#Baku) in #Tehran, #Iran is most likely a false flag operation of Azerbaijani Intel service. Authorities of the Baku were fully prepared to release statements for this attack. Even Azerbajani media had received notice before!
This CCTV footage shows inside the #Baku embassy in #Tehran, #Iran, when the 50 year old attacker armed with an AK-47 Assault rifle entered and opened fire at people inside. Head of the security of #Azerbaijan embassy attempted to stop him & he was wounded.
With the heroic action of this man, head of security of the emnbassy of #Azerbaijan Republic (#Baku), the terrorist who is believed to be hired by Azerbaijani Intelligence failed to kill more people inside the embassy in #Tehran, #Iran.

@handelsblatt @12ftio Im Artikel wird zunächst die Rolle von #SilkWay West, der Firma von Meier, komplett verklärt. Sie wird zur "größten Privatfirma Aserbaidschan" erklärt, was schlicht nicht stimmt. Die größte Firma des Landes ist die "SH Holding" oder "SH Group", zu der 24 Firmen gehören.
Hoy se cumplen 31 años de la (re)declaración de independencia de #Azerbaiyán, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre esta Tierra del Fuego que nada tiene que ver con Ushuaia, el país de los volcanes de barro y los mares que arden 🇦🇿🔥
La historia de #Azerbaiyan empieza en la cueva Azykh, en donde habitaron los primeros humanos (o casi) en la zona.
Se encontraron fósiles de neandertal de unos 300 mil años. Pero además tenían ¡CHIMENEA! La 1° de la historia. La hermandad entre azeríes y fuego comenzó entonces.

#OnThisDay Sep 15, 1918, the Ottoman Army of Islam captured #Baku. With the ethnic #Azerbaijan'i Turks at their side, they carried out a systematic massacre of the #Armenia'ns in the city, during which its estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 Armenians died.
#Turkey #ArmenianGenocide
#Turkey #ArmenianGenocide
A terrible panic in Baku ensued once the Turks entered the city. The Armenians crowded the harbor in a frantic effort to escape. Regular Ottoman troops were not allowed to enter the city for 2 days, so that the local irregulars – bashibozuks – would conduct looting and pillaging.

Hier ist Gafarov als Praki im Büro von Kahrs. Er war zuvor Student in Hamburg und ist extra nach #Baku geflogen, um am Auswahlverfahren für das Praktikum für Aserbaidschan teilzunehmen.

I've been reading about the 1905 clashes between Armenians & Azerbaijanis, the first known inter-ethnic confrontation between the two, and reaffirmed my conviction that the disagreements & subsequent #Armenia-#Azerbaijan wars are the product of the 'divide et impera' policy 1/10
One of the reasons that triggered the bloody events was the underrepresentation of the Muslim population in local city councils. Although the Muslim population of #Baku accounted for around 80% of the electorate, they were entitled to less than a third of the seats. 2/10
Die staatliche aserbaidschanische Nachrichtenagentur Azertag hat ein neues Sonderprojekt über die "Sieg-Strategie". Es zeigt die Strategie des #Aserbaidschan|ischen Präsidenten #Aliyev zu #Bergkarabach seit 2003.
Es ist gruselig, abstoßend, aber auch aufschlussreich.
Es ist gruselig, abstoßend, aber auch aufschlussreich.
So beschreibt die Seite etwa, wie #Aliyev dem #Europarat 2004 versprechen musste keinen Krieg zu führen um Mitglied werden zu dürfen - während er gleichzeitig einen Krieg gegen #Armenien und #Bergkarabach plante.
Das sieht nicht so gut für den #Europarat aus, gelinde gesagt.

Die Seite zeigt auch mit #Aliyev-Zitaten von 2004 auf, dass #Aserbaidschan sich immer auf einen Krieg vorbereitet hat und nie an Verhandlungen interessiert war, bei denen ihre Maximalposition nicht das Ergebnis ist.
In Europa nahm man solche Zitate bis 2020 nicht wirklich ernst

Wie Jan #Böhmermann aufzeigt, liegt der Verdacht nahe, dass der #CDU-Bundestagsabgeordnete für #Baku (#Aserbaidschan), Olav #Gutting (@olavgutting) seinen #Wikipedia-Artikel manipuliert, damit seine Verbindungen zur Diktatur nicht weiter publik werden. /TN
Hier noch der Artikel des @BR24 dazu, der ziemlich dünn ist und einzig das Foto mit Diktator #Alijev aufführt. /TN

Thing is; polling shows Hungarians aren’t opposed to LGBT people in huge numbers. 59% support same sex adoption (62% in France). Star player Peter Gulacsi spoke out in support. Orban building a voter coalition but doesn’t reflect majority view. (3/9) theathletic.com/2665233/2021/0…

The UK FCO currently warns of unexploded material, terrorists attacks to be "likely" and high COVID rates. I'd say all these risks are low, but there are other issues:

The Church of the Holy Mother of God was located in Baku's Walled City (Icheri Shehir). It was built in 1797-1799, although a church has been mentioned here as early as the 13th century in Armenian and Persian sources. It was destroyed in 1992 and a cafe stands in its place.
You can see the #Armenian Church of the Holy Mother of God again here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, standing next to #Baku's infamous #MaidenTower.
Die #AserbaidschanConnection in DE betrifft nicht nur die Ebene der Abgeordneten, sondern auch die Ebene ihrer wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter. In diesem Fall Heiko Langner, Büro @HESommer. Über Sommers auffällige Aussagen zu #Armenien und #Aserbaidschan berichteten wir mehrfach.
Heiko Langner fällt durch seine Nähe zu aserbaidschanischen Lobby-Organisationen auf. Zu nennen sind hier das „Alumniportal #Aserbaidschan“ oder das „Azerbaijan Student Network“ (mit SOCAR-Funktionären im Vorstand). Bindeglied ist stets: Asif Masimov, der gut vernetzt ist.
Asif Masimov und Heiko Langner kennen sich seit mind. 2014. Langner war Masimovs Betreuer während seines IPS-Praktikums im Bundestag bei den #Linken.
Langner war wiss. Mitarbeiter bei den ehem. Linken-MdBs Hakki Keskin (Leugner des Genozids an Armeniern) und bei Katrin Kunert.

Das Chodschali-Massaker ist in der Wissenschaft nicht als Völkermord qualifiziert. Selbst #Aserbaidschan hat eine rechtliche Anerkennung vor intern. Gerichten stets unterlassen. Dennoch nahmen MdBs am Symposium der Botschaft Aserbaidschans zum "Völkermord" in Chodschali teil.

3/ The bar scam: Men report being attacked at expat & tourist bars, where a woman approaches them & asks for a drink & leaves the man with a very high bar tab. If he doesn't pay, a group of men demand that he pays up by using the threat of physical force. #BoycottAzerbaijan
Here is why you should #BoycottAzerbaijan a гаdioaстivе хепоfовiк country run by a hereditary dictator where any act of dissent is crushed, reporters/activists jailed beaten or Кi11ed, intolerant for LGBTI, minorities & Armenians, a very dangerous place for travel or investment👇
