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.
#Khankendi city means “village of the Khan” since it was founded by Ibrahim Khalil Khan.
#Khankendi was renamed by Soviet government.
After regaining independence #Azerbaijan🇦🇿 returned the real name to its historical land.

Although there were no Armenians or Russians in Khankendi in 1813, in 1847 there was a house and an Armenian church inhabited by 80 Armenian and 52 Russian families. Nevertheless, in 1847 the settlement was officially named Khankendi on the maps of Russia #KhanendiNotStepanakert
Shaumyan-turning it into Stepanakert. Shaumyan was renowned amongst Khankendi’s Armenian population for being the organizer of the Anti-Azerbaijani massacres. #KhankendiNotStepanakert #KarabakhisAzerbaijan⤵️
#NagornoKarabakh: Azerbaijani forces have entered the #Kelbajar region, as part if the agreement with 🇦🇲🇷🇺.
Kelbajar is the most mountainous areas of Karabakh, the main road from #Armenia to NK #Stepanakert runs right through it. Now the Armenians only have the Lachin road

There was clearly no alternative for #Artsakh and #Armenia to signing the deal. As #Shushi fell, constant shelling of #Stepanakert would have followed and a complete loss would have followed. It was the only chance to safe some lives, at least.
Yet, that treaty is horrible:
Yet, that treaty is horrible:
Most of the lost territory was sparsely populated (Agdam, Kalbajar and Lachin Rayons of #Azerbaijan). They were always kept as buffers, mostly. Losing them surely weakens #Aartsakh, but at the same time was always calculated for.
What hurts the most will be the loss of #Dadivank, #Tigranakert and #Shushi. Basically, all historical and culturally important places of #Artsakh are now in the parts taken by #Azerbaijan.

The fortress of Shusha was built in 1750 by Panakh Khan, leader of the Javanshir dynasty in #Azerbaijan, who establish himself as the Khan of Karabakh.
In the 19th century, under Russian rule, Shusha was one of the most prosperous cities in the Caucasus.

In 1824, George keppel, the Earl of Albemarle, visited Shusha and described a town of two thousands houses, with three-quarters of the inhabitants Azerbaijanis, and one quarter Armenians. The trade was carried on principally by the Armenians.

I've reached out to all my friends in #Artsakh over the last few hours. They confirm heavy fighting throughout the night in and around #Shushi, as well as on the outskirts of #Stepanakert.
The battle for Shushi either way will be a decisive one...

Journalists and thousands of civilians have been evacuated from #Stepanakert overnight and in the morning. Of my 20+ friends in #Artsakh, only one remains on the ground. #Shusha is almost deserted by now, obviously.

#Armenia says, #Azerbaijan shelled #Stepanakert & outskirts.
Then Azerbaijan says, Karabakh shell #Ganja.
Then Armenia says, Azerbaijan shells Khnatsakh, Artsvanik & David Bek (Armenia). 2 drones are downed in Armenia.
No shelling for some days. So who started this now?

#Azerbaijan media shares vid of #Armenia|n Grad in action, claim Armenians target Ganja & Mingechaur.
Armenian Grad has 20km range.
Distance to Ganja: 40km, Mingechaur: 50+.
I trust @ShStepanyan. And there are more important targets, than civilian houses.

One of the most dangerous aspects of war - is endless cycle of revenges. Murder, and revenge, and revenge for revenge, w/ no end. Previous war revenges had already passed away in 30 yrs. No we are gaining new ones. And why is this for? For #Aliyev revanchism?

#WarGonzo cites sources in #Istanbul, says #Azerbaijan Chief of general staff is fired by #Turkey generals commanding Azeri army, calling him #Russia spy. He had conflict over transfer of command to Turks, saying "Shall we give them our wives too?". Source say, general is hiding.
