One sided and biased stories.... It’s nothing gonna help
@@shamimbhuiyan2190 Azerbaijan doesn't allow international media coverage and cutoff internet in the country.
Misrepresentation here, Armenians are not fighting for their country. They are fighting on a land which doesn't belong to them, according to United Nations
@Dian what a fake news!! Azerbaijan banned international journalists??? Euronews, France 24, BBC, Russian, and Ukrainian TV companies are in Azerbaijan and making full coverage of the Azeri side. Syrian Jihadists you say? Why the country which was secular of all its history, with a population of 10 million (against the Armenian 3 million) and with a military budget equal to the size of the Armenian annual budget should hire some radical and violent Jihadists from God know where???
@@shamimbhuiyan2190 how do you expect them to cover the other side when only one side is allowing foreign journalists? Armenia has nothing to hide from the international media, we don't have jihadists and mercenaries fighting for us. Just brave Armenian soldiers and diaspora volunteers fighting for their historical homeland 🇦🇲🙏🏻🕊
Please do weekly coverage of this. Similar to what you guys did with the Russian Roulette series in Ukraine!
They can't because they yeeted out of there. Because they could not take the shelling anymore.
That was an epic series
It would be kinder of you to hope this will be over instead, and join a petition to recognize Artsakh's independence.

"Usually we get a little siren so we know we need to go into the bunker. But sometimes? Siren doesn't work. So we get a bomb before the siren, but that's ok. We're getting used to it." - Said so casually.
@Juan Dude true. During the yugoslav wars if u even saw or heard the serbian tanks, u immediately ran for the hills bcs if they didnt already kill u with their tanks shooting at the houses, they would kidnap, torture and execute u and then bury the bodies so no one could find you. Sometimes the policeman would get drunk, hop on their car and go to a non-serb village and kill someone as soon as they opened the door and then theyd run away
When you are growing with a war, That becomes preety much normal to you. Like i was really used to Sucide bomber in pakistan. Every month there is one, You see dead people missing their body parts.It was an experince for me as a kid.
@Joey Lock That is the trouble with constant violence.After a while you get used to it.You grow numb to it.
@Joey Lock I grew up in a small village, we didn´t even have sirens. When a shelling started we were "warned" by the shells detonating around. And yes, after a while you just grow a thick skin. And people which had lost their families didn´t even care to get to cover anymore.

That LA surgeon - pure brass - he's angry, not scared.
@Dian that's no argument
@@taztheunstoppable5479 Here is an argument. Artsakh was NEVER part of Azerbaijan, but part of USSR. When the USSR was falling down, the countries that came out of it, did it by referendum that the USSR lawfully allowed. Azerbaijan and Armenia, both left USSR by a referendum. Now, Artsakh in 1988, had a referendum to LEAVE Azerbaijan and USSR. which was held back then and the vote was in favor of it , almost 90%. This referendum was met by Azerbaijan with the shelling of Civilians and the start of operation "Ring". After they were successfully repelled, the ceasefire was held with the idea of brining a peaceful solution, hence the reason, for the sake of the peaceful solution, Armenia did not recognize Artsakh, but now, it appears that is the direction Armenia should work on, because oil daddy Aliyev likes shelling civilians.
@@Rassamaxa1000 your country is younger than Coca Cola you have no place to speak when you don't know history and have been raised a sheep.

@@davo_m your brain just stay there without working I feel. Coca-Cola joke is just about Azerbaijan Democratic Republic that has been established at the same year with the Armenian republic. (1918) your non-quality joke is also about your country. About history, I need two or three years to teach you history, Caucasian Albanians( roots of Azerbaijanians), Adurbadaqan, Azerbaijan (as part of Arab Khalifate), establishment of Şuşa by whom and when (1758, by Azerbaijani-Turk king of Qarabağ khanlıq) and so on.
There are even several resolutions adopted by the United Nations on the occupation of our lands. One of the resolutions states that the Armenian armed forces must leave the Azerbaijani lands immediately and unconditionally. We relied on these resolutions, but it was the biggest mistake we made. No world power can interfere in this movement to liberate our lands, because in time resolutions were adopted.
There are no Armenian forces there, only Artsakh forces. And the U.S. Russia and France voted against those resolutions.

Artsakh or “Nagorno Karabakh” has been populated by indigenous Armenians for thousands of years, this is Armenian indigenous land. At no point was Artsakh ever populated by Azeris. Just because the Soviet Union decided to give something it did not own (in this case Artsakh) to someone else, doesn’t mean that it belongs to whoever they supposedly gave it to, and it also doesn’t mean they had the right to that. That’s like someone thats more powerful than you decides to transfer ownership of your computer that they do not own to your neighbor with all your info and pics and every other thing you have in it, does that mean that your neighbor now has a right to come and take your computer from your house? NO! This is total injustice from all sides. Screw the Soviet Union for doing that, and screw the Azeris that want to come take land that does not belong to them.
What do you mean the Soviet Union never owned Artsakh? Wasn't it their territory? Conquered or not, it was theirs and they gave it to Azerbaijan, that's why no country in the world recognizes the independence of the Republic of Artsakh.

I address all of my friends: please share this information.
Azerbaijan is protecting its territorial integrity by fighting on its own lands and reclaiming those occupied by Armenia.
Khojaly Massacre is one of the horrifying examples of atrocities Armenian army performed against peaceful civilians of Azerbaijan. On February 26th, 1992 Armenian military forces committed a genocide in Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. This offense against God and humanity is considered not only the bloodiest event of The First Karabakh war, but also one of the most ruthless genocides in decades. #ArmeniaAggressor #JusticeforKhojaly #StopArmenianAggression #KarabakhisAzerbaijan #DontBelieveArmenia

He isn’t doctor .doctor don’t go war for killing innocent people
He called 20 and 25 years olds kids .... Hahahaha
I must protest. This is not a fair interpretation of the conflict. I will not be responding to the replies under this comment.
The fact that the area consists of majority ethnic Armenian population currently is due to the fact that Azerbaijanis were kicked out from the region during the war, which started with the Khojaly Massacre against the Azerbaijani population.
Referendums are only legitimate when they also include the minorities of the local population. The 1991 Nagorno-Karabakh referendum was held without the consent of Azerbaijan, and had 99.98% votes in favor of independence, where at the time the Azerbaijani population of the region constituted 20% of the region. After the referendum the Azeri population inside and outside the region protested. The referendum is also not recognized by UN member states. I'll let you make your own conclusion about the fairness of this referendum.
Let's say the referendum was in fact fair, just for the sake of argument. This still doesn't justify how the process of self-determination for Nagorno-Karabakh started with the Khojaly massacre against the local population of Azerbaijanis with the intent of at best terror to kick out and at worst to ethnically cleanse.
And the process of "self-determination" for Armenia didn't end with having Nagorno-Karabakh independent. It ended with the invasion of territories deeper within Azerbaijan, that was never even disputed to be a land belonging to someone else. To be fair, Nagorno-Karabakh is not recognized to be independent by none of the UN-member states, not even by Armenia itself, and is actually recognized by Armenia to be part of Azerbaijan.
The argument about bribery and the Azerbaijani laundromat from an official from the self-proclaimed Foreign Ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh is unfounded. The UN Security Council Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 (which demanded the immediate withdrawal of Armenian troops from Nagorno-Karabakh territory) was passed in 1993, a year before the war stopped. At this time Azerbaijan was not rich, and was alone to fight this war. Azerbaijan's oil became a prevalent factor in its economy after 1994 when a deal was struck between the country and many big oil conglomerates to start working on the oil and gas reserves in the Khazar region. This happens to be after the majority of the war was over. So the argument that Azerbaijani oil had anything to do with it would be a bit of a stretch, to say the least.
Lastly, you can't say that "we didn't start the war" when the other side clearly has stated that they are not satisfied with the current situation since 1994. And you have been stalling talks, making changes, and doing nothing for the advancement of the peace talk processes. You must AT LEAST return the territories within Azerbaijan that are outside of Nagorno-Karabakh that you have invaded. And if you choose not to, you can't say "we didn't start a war" after stalling for almost 30 years for the absolute fairest demands of the Azerbaijani people, which is for the return of territories outside of Nagorno-Karabakh. And you didn't. No worries. We are now taking it on our own. Being weak is not what makes one right. And having advanced military equipment, does not make one cruel.
We both lived in these lands. Azerbaijanis and Armenians, peacefully. We are both people with old history, and I do not dispute this for the other side. But you cannot expect us to be okay with our territories being invaded. I'm sorry that it has come to this. I wish one day Armenians and Azerbaijanis can live in peace just like they do in Russia and other countries. But pacifism does not make peace. Neither does complacency. Only justice brings peace
you guys don't even recognize the Armenian Genocide of 1.5 million of our people and you expect us to bat an eye at Khojaly? even when Azerbaijanis were there it was still majority Armenian.
We fight for our holy land, they fight for the territory. That’s the difference!
Armenians fight to illegally occupy foreign lands, Azeri fight for their own lands and for the 1.2 million Azeris who are displaced from their homes because of Armenian illegal occupation. That’s the difference
*for their own territory

Erdogan's wet dream is to revive the Ottoman Empire, the most ruthless, genocidal empire that wiped off entire civilizations with their cultures and accumulated knowledge. It gave the world nothing but suffering and loss. Is this what Azerbaijan wants to be part of? If you are going to reply, please don't start with mindless hashtags or but, but buts....
I am Egyptian but I will fight with the Greek and the Armenians before I let the Turks take over Egypt again 🇦🇲 ♥️🇪🇬
"the most ruthless, genocidal empire that wiped off entire civilizations"
The Ottoman Empire killed 1.5 Million Armenians, which was their worse genocide, far from wiping a civilization off the face of the earth. Say, what happened to Nazi Germany? To Imperial Japan? Soviet Russia? I'm not excusing that, but you're blowing things out of proportion in an attempt to make it look worse than what it was, similar to propaganda.
"Is this what Azerbaijan wants to be part of?"
Yeah, Azerbajan wants to create a neo ottoman empire with Turkey and genocide the entire population of armenia.
"wiped off entire civilizations with their cultures and accumulated knowledge"
Now the main thing I'm thinking about here is the Assyrians. While they did genocide them to the point there are very few left, but accumulated knowledge? This makes absolutely no sense from a logical standpoint. If the Ottoman Empire was this evil creation of the devil, wouldn't taking advantage of said information prove useful? Wouldn't records survive? Doesn't knowledge spread very quickly and generally doesn't see ethnic, religious and federal lines?
I'm not Armenian but i understand this happened in Cambodia genocide where my grandparents are from. STOP THE WAR AND SAVE ALL THE INNOCENTS 🥺🙏🙏🙏

How the things ever get so far ? Just 30 years ago we were living in peace, we were friends, neighbors even families. It's so hard to believe now isn't it ?. All those bloodshed, violence, killings. Thousands of people have died since 1992 because of this bloody war. Women, men, old, young, kids even infant babies for God's sake, "died" they all gone and in time they will be forgotten. Now put yourself in their shoes. You're sitting in your house, having a cup of tea, having a little chat with your family, you know the usual things. And then all of a sudden an artillery fire smashing your house to the ground. All of your family members including you are DEAD.....for what ? Or even better, think about you're a solider. a 20 years old boy, just a random dude who is playing videogames and drinking beer with his friends. Next day you're in front line and you have a bullet in your chest, you're just lying on the ground looking through the sky begging for help, but no one is helping. And slowly your life starting pass before your eyes. For a few minutes you're seeing all of those memories your family, your friends, your dog or cat and then... you're gone. There was so many things that you could have been accomplished in your life but instead of that you just became a memory "You just died in a war that you didn't even started it. You didn't even born when the war started" yet you died. This war was so unfortunate, so unnecessary. When we are born we're coming to the world not to some "country". It doesn't matter where you from Azerbaijan, Armenia. We are humans... but we acting like animals. 30 years we acted like animals driven by emotions. İt's time to wake up. It's time to give up on our basic instincts and start to think "What we are going to do next" ?.
We can't hate each other forever.
You’re the first news channel that actually is speaking the truth and is covering this truthfully. The right of self determination shall not be infringed. The world needs to stop a future genocide. We have no option!!!
From a Kashmiri, living under Indian occupied Kashmir, our right of self determination has been infringed from past 70 years bro. It doesn’t exist. :)

@@iamumair666 ofc it doesn't exist, Kashmiris are indians, whether u like it or not. They hve to live with us, and believe me they are guaranteed the same constitution as all of other indians.
There can be no self determination among indians, u can hve ur own culture but at the end of the day, the fact that u are indian cannot and will not change.

I'm all for fighting the enemy but EOF & Rules of Engagements are totally disregarded.
Countries should be brought up on war crimes for specifically targeting civilians as oppose military or government establishments.
“I will never leave, we will never leave, it’s in our blood, I’m a strong woman I’m not afraid”
*2 days later*
“It wasn’t safe, the lights went out so I had to leave.”
Sorry, I know they’re literally in a war zone but they’re all talk. If she believes she and they can return to their towns even if it’s just land they will rebuild, how strong is that belief? Because if it’s as strong as their conviction on not leaving in the first place they’re f*****d, they’ll give up after 2 days of no bread.
If you want peace as badly as you say then stick to your convictions. Don’t say you’re not afraid and you’ll fight back only to turn around and flee literally a day later, you’ll never achieve anything that way. No ones achieved anything by running away(except Usain Bolt and Kathy Freeman).
Armenians all over the world have united to support Artsakh by sending humanitarian aid, donating or just coming to join their brothers on the frontline.
We have no other choice but win the war!

Thank you Vice News for reporting the truth of what is happening in Armenia. Thank you to the reporters who risked their lives to expose THE WORLD to the reality of the attacks on Armenia. We need more exposure, awareness, and education on this tragedy that is happening as we speak.
Thank you Vice!! We appreciate your awareness and help for spreading truth🇦🇲♥️🙏🏻
The war is not in armenia but on the occupied land of Azerbaycan, thetbare just taking it back. You can leave and the war will be over😉. Sad that they do not rapport the attack on civilians of Azerbaycan with the forbiddrn clusterbombs that arr fired from armenia. Sad that armenia does not keep the war in karabag but attack citird that are 600-800 km off the warzone. Sad that they keep living on the lie of the genocide that never has taken place. Please open up your eyes!
Stand strong Armenians ... Proudest people I had the pleasure to meet.
Wish if there is something I could do to help.
@Ani Javardian Can you explain to me in what world it's okay to just take another countries land without any legal procedures? It sucks people are dying on both sides but if you occupy another countries land it's gonna lead to war sooner or later.
@Raffi Smith if anyone else needs more proof for your point, look at the janky-ass borders in Central Asia, compare the political map to the ethnic and linguistic maps and it will look ridiculous

But Armenia has russian support. And this support is the real problem of this country.
serhiiyaroslavovich but the residents want to join Armenia, so let them
EU has nothing to do with this
Even though I support Azerbaijan, I feel really sorry for every innocent life that is suffering because of the war. They haven’t done anything to deserve it.
LMAOOOOOO you cannot support Azerbaijan and feel sorry. supporting them means you support their decisions to do this
Don’t let oil smell more than the blood. All is documented and proved: Azerbaijan with Turkey and Syrian mercenaries started the attack. What’s Nagorno Karabagh? Renamed land of Artsakh, Urtekhi, the churches and castles show the ancient ethnic Armenian origin
the ancient ethnic Amernia origin isn't a good argument in my eyes, literally every country in existence is over previous native's land.
This was a disaster. How inhumanly Azerbaijan has behaved since the day 1st: barbarian mercenaries, attacking civilians and civilian areas, targeting historical/religious sights, churches of the first Christian country. International Communities has continuously called for ceasefire: what will happen when you call for a “wild animal” to stop his attack? It will not hear you! Moreover it may attack you! Armenians are not hopeless but we can’t hope for Azerbaijan to behave civilized anyhow.
Azerbaijan never atack church end families! bro think a little. If azerbaican win this war they must do all of theese again. They are atacking just army. Thats whag i know😕
@@PaganJess www.dw.com/en/nagorno-karabakh-armenia-claims-cathedral-hit-by-azerbaijan-shelling/a-55209042
Dunno about your religion, but Church is a saint place for the Christians, especially for the 1st Christian Nation. And unless other facts incline it were aliens who attacked Armenian Church, Armenian civilians, Civil areas using prohibited weapons, the Truth arrow will show point on Azerbaijan as the War Criminal (not mentioning there were proofs of AZ military presence in the attack). BRO!
One remark. Artsakh/ Karabakh was part of Armenia, until Stalin decided to give Artsakh in 1921to Azerbaijan, of course under Turkey’s pressure. Artsakh Population always were 99% Armenian. Because that evil decision, we suffer till today.
There was not a single Armenian living in the area in the 1800s, stop lying.
After the Second World War, Stalin settled thousands of Armenians from Russia and Iran in the region and changed the demographic structure.
When the Caucasian countries gained their independence in the 90s, Russia gave the last Soviet ammunition, a weapon worth approximately 1 billion dollars, to Armenia for free.
What Armenians, dasnaks, hincaks and asala could not do to the Turks, they did to the Azerbaijanis with the weapons they kept secretly in the churches together with their independence in the 90s.
700,000 Azeri civilians were massacred in the 90s (no distinction between children, elderly and women) 20,000 civilians were expelled from the area barefoot at midnight in the February cold
but the Azerbaijanis are generous and brave people. They gave the Armenians time to leave the region.
No one left the region barefoot and penniless. They left the region in the determined time with their very modern cars.
Azeris lost blood and left the region without looking back, but Armenians left the region with their cars and damaging nature.
As for Turkey, Turkey is not a country that Russia will be afraid of.
The issue is not only about Russia, but the whole world already recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
In short, Armenians should learn from this war and understand that the reign in other countries' lands will not last long.
Neither Kim Kardashian's big ass nor the pressure of the Armenian lobby will provide you any profit or benefit.
Sad , how some people interfered with internal affairs of other countries.
God bless you brothers
Lmfao cry about it💀
Karabah is Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Armenians will never occupy other people country again. They were taught a very harsh lesson. they became air- men- ians during the war. They were flying like birds during the drones attacks.
Watching grown Armenians complaining makes me smile,
Where were you when me and my family was forced to walk in the snow,
There were around 50-60 people in our group,
When we reached barda, 5-6 people had died on the way,
Thank GoD in 2020 government gave me a weapon and a chance to take my home from savges called Armenians,

This time it will take days to finish those paramilitary groups
Be smart and play nice with your neighbors Armenia

the only news orgnization to do such coverage, never going stop watching you keep at it
30 years ago, 700 000 Azerbaijanis that Armenians exiled didn't have the luxury of traveling on a safe car. And while exiling them, Armenians made sure that they have no romantic dreams. Those, who were not fast enough, were killed. People were leaving barefoot, sometimes freezing to death.
It is because they had no romantic dreams to return to their homes, like this young woman has, they knew what they should prepare for. They knew, that Armenians are not letting them go back to their homes peacefully. But the rest of the Azerbaijani society still had hope for a peaceful resolution of this conflict, this is why we were negotiating for 30 years. While negotations were going on, Armenians were moving other Armenians from Lebanon, Syria to the homes of Azerbaijanis they forced to leave. Since 2019 Armenian populist Prime Minister killed all the hopes in negotiations saying that "Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia and period". After these words the rest of Azerbaijanis understood that they were lied to and that enemy doesn't want to negotiate. The enemy wants Azerbaijanis to surrender their right to live in their homes, it wants us to give up.
Well, we didn't give up. Today, children, who have been forced out of their homes are coming back on tanks. And there is nobody to blame for it but Armenian nationalists.
P.S Since the beginning of this war, death toll among Azerbaijani civilians is 3 times higher that of Armenians. Losing on the battleground, they started to deliberately target civilian areas of the cities, far away from the frontline with ballistic missiles. Vice News, if you wish to stay neutral, please come and film the death and destruction these people you have filmed brought upon us too.
I wish you did an interview with azerbaijan people too. It's not an objective video. I have been following Vice for a long time but now I unsubscribed. You need to listen the both sides while discussing a topic.

A BRIEF HISTORY:
Artsakh, also known as Nagorno Karabakh, is a region that was part of the Armenian kingdom and has been inhabited by Armenians since the 5th century BC. The ethnic group which would eventually become Azerbaijanis only entered the Caucasus in the 12th century AD. Artsakh has always been populated by an Armenian majority. Today, the territory has a population of 150,000, 95% of which are ethnic Armenians.1 This population lives and functions peacefully, with an Armenian government, Armenian currency, and Armenian schools.
Despite its majority Armenian populace, Artsakh was placed under the control of Soviet Azerbaijan by Stalin in 1921 to placate Turkey.2 In 1988, as the USSR was dissolving, the Republic of Artsakh was founded when the people of Artsakh voted for their independence through a free and fair referendum, which had an 82.1% voter turnout, in which 99.8% of voters chose to create an independent state. The people of Artsakh have the right to self-determination, and hold that their independence is one of liberation from Azerbaijan, which had been occupying them for the last 70 years.3 These votes and elections were carried out in a peaceful manner, but conflict grew, eventually into war, because Azerbaijan was unwilling to let Armenians live in peace. In the 1992 Artsakh War, the first major military action was the blockade and aerial bombardment of the city of Stepanakert by Azerbaijan. Even before that, in the lead-up to the war, Azerbaijan began the tensions by committing atrocities at Sumgait and Kirovabad.4 War ended in de facto independence of the Republic of Artsakh and de facto unification with Armenia, with Armenians emerging as the victors, despite being severely outnumbered and outgunned (as is the case today). In 1994, a ceasefire was signed by both sides.
Today, Armenia already has de facto control of Artsakh. It is not in its interest to be the aggressor in these conflicts, while Azerbaijan aims to undo the results of the Artsakh Liberation War. Armenia is a significantly smaller country, with fewer resources, a lower military budget, and very few close allies, so there is little incentive to instigate a conflict.
Furthermore, Azerbaijan is directly backed by Turkey. Both nations are dictatorships and strong allies, as Azerbaijanis are a Turkic people whose language is closely related to Turkish. The two nations consider themselves “brothers.” Turkey’s President Erdoğan recently said: We will continue to fulfill this mission, which our grandfathers have carried out for centuries, in the Caucasus again. This eerie statement refers back to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 in whcih 1.5 million Armenians were murdered. Turkey denies the Genocide to this day. In its efforts to support Azerbaijan, Turkey has not only provided weapons and funding to Azerbaijan, but has also sent at least 1,000 mercenaries from Syria to fight in Artsakh. Armenians, on the other hand, are fighting this fight alone.
@Nodata I am not as vain as the government is that doesn’t give the turkish and azerbaijani people the right to learn their own history...I’ll help you a little so you won’t be ashamed of the lack of the knowledge that you have.
So this is what happened in Khojaly. For most of 1991 and early 1992 the Azeri OMON (Special Purpose Militia Detachment) had systematically shelled Armenian civilian targets, using rockets. The Azeris had also blockaded the nearby airport. As a result of Azeri attacks, Armenians had suffered civilian casualties, hundreds had been kidnapped and thousands of cattle had been driven away. The blockade had also resulted in lack of food, fuel and medical supplies, especially in Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh. Armenian forces had to neutralize Azeri fire in Khojaly and terminate the blockade. It was also obvious to the Armenians that the Azeris were planning to attack the Armenian centre of Askeran before moving on to the capital.
Using loudspeakers for ten days, the Armenian forces announced to Khojaly inhabitants (mostly Meskhetian Turks who had been settled in the village during Soviet times) and forces that an Armenian attack was imminent. The announcements also informed Azeris that Armenians had dedicated a corridor for the safe passage of civilians to Azeri-held areas. But the Azeri authorities did nothing to facilitate the evacuation of their people.
Don’t fight with us fight with your government who doesn’t care about you. Overall you have the right to live in peace too.
@Nodata the information that I have put above completely lost the point if you still say things like that) maybe you should read it again?
Yana good job on that essay, but why do I feel like you copy pasted what I wrote earlier?
#StopAzerbaijaniAggression #SanctionTurkey
I’m half Dutch, half Syrian- Armenian and this summer I finally got the chance to visit my family in Yerevan. I was there for 1,5 weeks but I met so many fascinating and beautiful people that all had one thing in common: their love for Armenia. 3/4 weeks after I left Armenia, the violence in Nagorno-Karabach started again. I’m in awe of the resilience Armenian people have.. they keep fighting and are proud of their country even after everything they went through with the genocide. I hope one day Armenia won’t be in war anymore and people can live without worries.
You don’tunderstand how much this coverage means to me, thank you vice. You’ll always maintain my favorite and go to news channel. Please the more you guys cover on this topic will only shed light on the threat on these innocent lives.
Great reporting, Vice. There is always more to a conflict than meets the eye but I do not understand why the international community is tolerating Azer's indiscriminate shelling and bombing of civilians. Whether the people in the region identify one way or another does not ever mean you can simply attempt to annihilate them. Azerbaijan's technology is clearly many years ahead of Armenia (they have the money to buy such tech) so this is truly disgusting.
As you mentioned, they do have the money for advanced military equipment and they also have the money for bribing the politicians. But what they are missing is integrity and spirit for victory. The ordinary people don't understand what they are fighting for, because for them it's just a territory, while for Armenians it's a homeland.
It’s about to turn into a proxy war. This is also linked to oil and gas starting to flounder and governments realizing that things are going to change in terms of supporting the citizenry. Destabilization of a long standing economy plus unresolved historical tension and trauma plus nationalism equals war. I don’t know how this will end but situations like this have begun world wars and worse. It’s clear that this island of culturally different people are simply outgunned and surrounded by a country that never recognized their sovereignty. It’s just another sad example of hatred based on the assumption that different means wrong. The fear of being executed en masse for no other reason is horrific and disgusting. I hope this stops before it becomes unstoppable. It’s humans once again dragging ourselves down at the worst possible time.
@TOP MMA ISRAEL IS SELLING WEAPONS TO THIS "MUSLIM" COUNTRY AND THEY FULLY SUPPORT THIS WAR WTF ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT.
@TOP MMA Did you listen? Their weapons are from ISRAEL and Turkey. This is two nations with a combined population of over 100 million attacking a small country of 3 mil. Armenian is surrounded and doen't have a problem with the rest of them. This is Erdogan trying to spread Pan-Turkism and it needs to be stopped!
@TOP MMA this isn't biased at all. Armenians have been dealing with genocide and ethnic cleansing for over a 100 years. Armenians also feel the pain of the Palestinians. Armenians have started many organizations for human rights because of their history. They try to raise awareness to what happens when the world ignores genocide and displacement. Don't diminish their pain. You should read about their history.
May there always be peace, may our peoples live in peace and happiness, may peace be upon the war-torn Azerbaijan and Armenia
