February 1988
An Armenian Revolt
A Soviet Rebels
The crisis began in February 1988 in the depths of the Soviet Union. The
central square of Stepanakert, a small but beautifully situated town in the
mountains of the southern Caucasus, was a large open space, perfectly
suited for public meetings. A large statue of Lenin (now removed) dominated
the square with the neoclassical Regional Soviet building and a
steep hill raking up behind it. A long flight of steps fell down to the plain
of Azerbaijan below.
On 20 February 1988, the local Soviet of the Nagorny Karabakh Autonomous
Region of Azerbaijan—essentially a small regional parliament—
sitting inside a concrete-and-glass building on the square, resolved as
follows:
Welcoming the wishes of the workers of the Nagorny Karabakh Autonomous
Region to request the Supreme Soviets of the Azerbaijani SSR
and the Armenian SSR to display a feeling of deep understanding of the
12 • F E B R U A RY 1 9 8 8 : A N A R M E N I A N R E V O LT
aspirations of the Armenian population of Nagorny Karabakh and to
resolve the question of transferring the Nagorny Karabakh Autonomous
Region from the Azerbaijani SSR to the Armenian SSR, at the same time
to intercede with the Supreme Soviet of the USSR to reach a positive resolution
on the issue of transferring the region from the Azerbaijani SSR to
the Armenian SSR.1
The dreary language of the resolution hid something truly revolutionary.
Since 1921, Nagorny Karabakh had been an island of territory dominated by
Armenians inside the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. Essentially, the local
Armenian parliamentary deputies wanted the map of the Soviet Union
redrawn and to see their region leave Soviet Azerbaijan and join Soviet
Armenia. The USSR was already in the third year of rule by Mikhail Gorbachev,
but it was still a frigid and orderly state. Gorbachev had proclaimed
the doctrines of glasnost and perestroika, but they were still policies that
the Communist Party regulated from above. The resolution by the Soviet
in Nagorny Karabakh altered all this. By calling on Moscow to change the
country’s internal borders, the Karabakh Armenians were, in effect, making
politics from below for the first time in the Soviet Union since the 1920s.
A week before the Regional Soviet’s resolution, on Saturday, 13 February,
a group of Karabakh Armenians had staged another unprecedented
event in Lenin Square: an unsanctioned political rally. Several hundred
people gathered and made speeches calling for the unification of Karabakh
with Armenia. Two or three rows of policemen surrounded the
demonstrators, but they were local Armenians who had been tipped off in
advance and allowed the protest to go ahead. The rally was timed to coincide
with the return of a delegation of Karabakh Armenian artists and
writers who had taken a petition to Moscow. The head of the returning
delegation, the local Armenian actress Zhanna Galstian, made the first
speech to the assembled crowd. She spoke very briefly, saying that she felt
happy “because by coming out here, the Karabakhi has killed the slave
in himself.”2 The crowd chanted back the Armenian word “Miatsum!” or
“Unity!” the one-word slogan that came to symbolize their campaign.
The organizers of the rally had every reason to be afraid. No one had
organized political demonstrations in the Soviet Union in living memory.
At least two of the activists later admitted that they had fully expected to
be arrested.3 To ward off arrest, they had devised slogans that proclaimed
that they were Soviet loyal citizens acting within the spirit of glasnost.
Banners carried the slogan “Lenin, Party, Gorbachev!”
F E B R U A RY 1 9 8 8 : A N A R M E N I A N R E V O LT • 13
In the course of these days in February 1988, many Soviet officials
found that the ground under their feet was not as firm as they had
believed. Members of the Communist Party hierarchy were openly disagreeing
with one another, and the leadership in Moscow quickly concluded
that it could not simply crush the dissenters by force. Practicing
Gorbachev’s new spirit of tolerance, the Politburo told the Azerbaijani
Party leaders that they should use only “Party methods”—persuasion,
rather than force—to resolve the dispute. Gorbachev also decided that
neither local Karabakh Armenian nor republican Azerbaijani security
forces could be relied on to keep order and had a motorized battalion
of 160 Soviet Interior Ministry troops dispatched from the neighboring
republic of Georgia to Karabakh. As it turned out, Interior Ministry soldiers
were to stay there for almost four years.4
The demonstrators in Stepanakert became more vocal. Within a week
there were several thousand people in Lenin Square. Zhanna Galstian
remembers an almost religious exaltation as people began to shake off the
fear inbred in all Soviet citizens. “There was the highest discipline, people
stood as though they were in church,” she commented. The Armenian
political scientist Alik Iskandarian, who went to Stepanakert to investigate,
says he found “a force of nature”: “I saw something elemental, I saw
a surge of energy, energy that could have been directed in another direction.
Actually, the conflict began very benignly at the very beginning . . .
it was an astonishing thing. I had never seen anything like it in the Soviet
Union—or anywhere.”5
Yet Nagorny Karabakh was not only an Armenian region. Roughly a
quarter of the population—some forty thousand people—were Azerbaijanis
with the strongest ties to Azerbaijan. This sudden upsurge of protest
in the mainly Armenian town of Stepanakert, however peaceful its outer
form, could not but antagonize them. You had only to tilt your head in
Stepanakert to see the neighboring town of Shusha—90 percent of whose
inhabitants were Azerbaijani—high on the cliff top above. The Azerbaijanis
there were angry and began to organize counterprotests.
Events moved with speed. Eighty-seven Armenian deputies from the
Regional Soviet exercised their right to call an emergency session of the
assembly for Saturday, 20 February. Two top officials—the local Armenian
Party leader, Boris Kevorkov, who was still fully loyal to Azerbaijan,
and the first secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan, Kamran
Bagirov, tried and failed to stop the session’s taking place. The emergency
session finally began at about 8 p.m., four or so hours behind schedule
14 • F E B R U A RY 1 9 8 8 : A N A R M E N I A N R E V O LT
and in an explosive atmosphere. Late in the evening, 110 Armenian deputies
voted unanimously for the resolution, calling for Nagorny Karabakh
to join Soviet Armenia. The Azerbaijani deputies refused to vote. In a
scene of high farce, Kevorkov tried to swipe the stamp needed to confirm
the resolution.6 Journalists at the local newspaper, Sovetsky Karabakh,
doubled the impact of the resolution by working late into the night on
a special edition. Next morning, amid the usual dull TASS bulletins and
reprints of Pravda, the paper published two columns on the right side of
the front page announcing the local Soviet’s intention to leave Azerbaijan.
“Something Completely New”
On 21 February 1988, the Politburo met in the Kremlin to hold the first of
many sessions devoted to the crisis. Heeding a keen instinct of self-preservation,
members began by rejecting out of hand the Regional Soviet’s demand.
Gorbachev said later that there were nineteen potential territorial conflicts
in the Soviet Union and he did not want to set a precedent by making concessions
on any of them. The Communist Party’s Central Committee passed
the text of a resolution blackening the disloyal Karabakhis as “extremists”:
Having examined the information about developments in the Nagorny
Karabakh Autonomous Region, the CPSU Central Committee holds that
the actions and demands directed at revising the existing national and territorial
structure contradict the interests of the working people in Soviet
Azerbaijan and Armenia and damage interethnic relations.7
Other than taking this rhetorical step, it was far less obvious to the Politburo
what it should do next. It ruled out the option of mass arrests but
lacked any experience of dealing with mass political dissent. As the Politburo’s
adviser on nationalities, Vyacheslav Mikhailov, admitted, “This
was something completely new for us.” After all, the revolt came from a
Soviet institution, and the Karabakh Armenians were prepared to make
the argument that all they were doing was shaking the dust off Lenin’s
moribund slogan “All power to the Soviets.”
Gorbachev tried dialogue. He dispatched two large delegations to the
Caucasus, one of which traveled to Baku and then on to Nagorny Karabakh.
In Stepanakert, the Moscow emissaries called a local Party plenum,
which voted to remove Kevorkov, who had been the local leader in Nagorny
Karabakh since 1974, the middle of the Brezhnev era. Kevorkov’s more

The installation of new leaders in Armenia and Azerbaijan did
nothing to halt the crisis. The new Armenian leader Suren Harutiunian
quickly decided to run before the prevailing nationalist wind. A
week after he took office, on 28 May 1988, Harutiunian allowed the
outlawed flag of the First Armenian Republic, the red-blue-and-orange
tricolor, to be unfurled for the first time in almost seventy years in
Yerevan. On 15 June, the local parliament, the Supreme Soviet of
Armenia, adopted a resolution in which it formally gave its approval to
the idea of Nagorny Karabakh’s joining Armenia. The resolution was
the opening shot in what came to be called “the war of laws.” Regional
Party organs, ditching the old Soviet principle of “democratic centralism,”
passed legislation that openly antagonized one another. On
17 June, the Azerbaijani Supreme Soviet passed a counterresolution,
reaffirming that Nagorny Karabakh was part of Azerbaijan. Then on
12 July, the Regional Soviet in Stepanakert passed an even more implacable
resolution than it had in February: it voted to secede unilaterally
from Azerbaijan and rename Nagorny Karabakh “the Artsakh Armenian
Autonomous Region.”
Armenia, formerly one of the most loyal of republics, turned into
the leading rebel in the Soviet Union. The Politburo hard-liner Anatoly
Lukyanov reportedly threatened the Karabakh Committee, telling
its members, “You don’t frighten me with your demonstrations, I saw
Czechoslovakia [in 1968].”12 On 5 July, a contingent of troops was sent
in to remove demonstrators by force from Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport.
Shots were fired and truncheons were wielded, and one student protestor
died. A new wave of demonstrations with a more markedly anti-Soviet
flavor followed.
The 18 July session of the full Soviet parliament, the USSR Supreme
Soviet, in Moscow was invited to give a definitive verdict on the dispute.
The atmosphere was stormy, as an often-angry Gorbachev clashed with
several of the Armenian delegates. The session reconfirmed that Nagorny
Karabakh was staying within Azerbaijan. In his closing remarks,
Gorbachev declared: “I will tell you that today’s Presidium meeting saw
more self-criticism on the part of the Azerbaijanis and less on the part
of Armenia’s representatives.” He went on to accuse the Armenians of an
“unacceptable” campaign that undermined perestroika.13 But the general
secretary also took a step that was unpopular in Azerbaijan, deciding
to appoint a “special representative” for Nagorny Karabakh, who would
have the power to overrule the Party leaders in Baku.

authority, was demoralized and leaderless. No longer facing proper resistance,
the Armenian fighters moved back into Shaumian region, recapturing
the villages of Erkech, Manashid, and Buzlukh, which they had
lost during Operation Ring.
The August events accelerated the breakup of the Soviet Union, and
the Union Republics began to make declarations of independence. Mutalibov
declared Azerbaijan independent on 30 August 1991, and the Azerbaijani
Communist Party dissolved itself on 14 September—although the
same leadership stayed in charge. On 8 September, Mutalibov was elected
Azerbaijan’s first president, but it was a mechanical victory: his was the
only name on the ballot after all the opposition contenders either boycotted
the polls or withdrew. In the same week, Heidar Aliev began his
political comeback, being elected speaker of parliament in the exclave of
Nakhichevan and acquiring a new independent power base.
In Armenia, the referendum on independence scheduled for 21 September
1991 became a technicality and 95 percent of the population
voted in favor. Three weeks later, on 16 October, Levon Ter-Petrosian was
elected president with a large majority. Ten of the original eleven members
of the Karabakh Committee were given senior state posts in government
or parliament, completing their triumph.
The independence of Azerbaijan and Armenia—recognized internationally
early in 1992—raised their conflict to a new interstate level.
Azerbaijan immediately felt it possessed an even stronger argument
than before. Formally, the new states retained their old borders and so
Nagorny Karabakh was—and is—an internationally recognized part of
Azerbaijan. The Armenians risked international opprobrium, by laying
claim to a part of an independent country. They sidestepped this problem
by declaring Nagorny Karabakh “independent”—and thus no longer the
responsibility of Yerevan. The regional Soviet in Stepanakert declared the
independence of the new “Nagorny Karabakh Republic” on 2 September
1991, three days after Azerbaijan had declared independence. It asserted
that under Soviet law autonomous regions had the right to secede from
newly independent states.
The declaration of “independence” by Nagorny Karabakh—a region
with little more than 100,000 inhabitants—was primarily a sleight of hand
that allowed Armenia to say that it was only an interested observer, not a
party to the conflict. However, it was also an act of self-assertion by the
Karabakh Armenians, whose agenda never fully coincided with that in
Yerevan. The speaker of Karabakh’s newly elected parliament and de facto

small girl, had terrible injuries: only her face was left.” The Azerbaijani
prosecutor Yusif Agayev saw powder around the gunshot wounds and
concluded that many of the victims had been shot at point-blank range:
“They were shot at close range. We went to the place where it happened.
It was obvious to me as a specialist.”24 As well as those shot down, dozens
of victims died of cold and frostbite in the woods. More than a thousand
Khojaly residents were taken prisoner, among them several dozen
Meskhetian Turks, refugees from Central Asia.
There are varying estimates of how many Azerbaijanis were killed in or
near Khojaly. Probably the most reliable figure is that of the official Azerbaijani
parliamentary investigation, which put the death toll at 485. Even
taking into account that this number includes combatants and those who
died of cold, it still dwarfs any body count of the Nagorny Karabakh war.
The number of Azerbaijanis who returned fire was small; this could not
excuse the clear targeting of hundreds of civilians, including children, in
an open space and the shooting of defenseless people on the ground.25
Slowly the news got out that a massacre had taken place at Khojaly. At
first many in the outside world were reluctant to believe it because most
international media coverage of the conflict had hitherto portrayed the
Armenians as the main victims of the conflict, rather than aggressors. A selfjustificatory
newspaper interview given in April 1992 by the former Azerbaijani
president Ayaz Mutalibov did not help. Mutalibov, seeking to minimize
his own role in the failure to defend the town, put the blame for the massacre
on the Popular Front. His interview was much quoted in Armenia.26
Yet Armenians now do admit that many Azerbaijani civilians were
killed as they fled Khojaly. Some blame irregular Armenian fighters,
acting on their own behalf. An Armenian police officer, Major Valery
Babayan, suggested revenge as a motive. He told the American reporter
Paul Quinn-Judge that many of the fighters who had taken part in the
Khojaly attack “originally came from Sumgait and places like that.”27
Asked about the taking of Khojaly, the Armenian military leader Serzh
Sarkisian said carefully, “People don’t speak loudly about these things.” “A
lot was exaggerated” in the casualties, and the fleeing Azerbaijanis had
put up armed resistance, he claimed. Sarkisian’s summation of what had
happened, however, was more honest and more brutal:
But I think the main point is something different. Before Khojalu the
Azerbaijanis thought that they were joking with us, they thought that the
Armenians were people who could not raise their hand against the civilian
A U G U S T 1 9 9 1 – M AY 1 9 9 2 : WA R B R E A K S O U T • 185
population. We needed to put a stop to all that. And that’s what happened.
And we should also take into account that among those boys were people
who had fled from Baku and Sumgait.
Sarkisian’s account throws a different light on the worst massacre of the
Karabakh war, suggesting that the killings may, at least in part, have been
a deliberate act of mass killing as intimidation.28
Mutalibov Falls
The Khojaly killings triggered a crisis in Baku. Azerbaijanis denounced
their government for not protecting the town. Hundreds of men for
whom Karabakh had hitherto been a distant dispute volunteered to fight.
Accusations flew back and forth as to why a planned operation to break
the siege of the town had not been mounted. A Khojaly survivor, Salman
Abasov, complained later:
Several days before the events of the tragedy the Armenians told us several
times over the radio that they would capture the town and demanded
that we leave it. For a long time helicopters flew into Khojaly and it wasn’t
clear if anyone thought about our fate, took an interest in us. We received
practically no help. Moreover, when it was possible to take our women,
children, and old people out of the town, we were persuaded not to do so.29
When the Azerbaijani parliament met on 3 March, opposition deputies
demanded that a film shot by the cameraman Jengiz Mustafiev be shown
in the chamber. “The first frames of the film started rolling—and the next
ten minutes changed the history of the country,” writes Goltz. Mustafiev
had flown into the hills above Aghdam in a helicopter. As he landed, his
camera scanned dozens of dead bodies strewn along the valley. There
were villagers in bright headscarves and winter coats lying in the mud
and half-melted snow. A sobbing man picked up a dead child in a red
anorak, its face muffled in a scarf, and handed it into the helicopter.
Faced with images like these, the ruling regime crumbled. On 6
March, facing an ultimatum from the opposition, Mutalibov resigned.
Officially the new speaker of parliament, Yaqub Mamedov, became Azerbaijan’s
acting head of state. He was, however, not a professional politician
but merely the rector of Baku’s Medical University. In practice power
was slipping into the hands of the opposition. Mamedov acknowledged

Նվաճելի է նյութական Հայրենիքը,
հոգևորը` գրեթե ոչ:
Երբ կորցնելով իրենց
անկախությունը, շատ անգամ և
հայրենի
երկիրը՝ ժողովուրդները
շարունակում են իրենց հոգու մեջ
ապրեցնել աննյութեղեն, միստիկ
Հայրենիքը, նրանց
աշխարհագրական Հայրենիքը
երկար չի մնա օտարների ձեռքին:
Երբ
թրքությունն այսօր կաշվից դուրս է
գալիս սրբելու մեր
ցեղագրական հետքերն իսկ մեր
պատմական Հայրենիքում, ես
ծիծաղում եմ նրա անհատակ
տգիտության վրա և հարց
տալիս. «Պիտի կարողանա՞ս սպանել
հայ ժողովրդի պատմական
հիշողությունը»:
Ասել է` իմ երկիրը
ժամանակավորապես մնալով օտար
լծի տակ, չի կարող դառնալ այդ
օտարի Հայրենիքը, քանզի
Արևելքի անուղղա խուժը, որ
թրքություն կկոչվի, ոչինչ ունի
տված այդ երկրին` ո՛չ մեծ մեռելներ,
ո՛չ միտք, ո՛չ զգացում:
Can the material homeland be
occupied? Yes. However, not the
spiritual homeland. When nations
lose their homeland materially, they
live their homeland mystically in their
spirituality. In this situation, their
homeland does not remain in foreign
hands for many years. Today, when
Turks want to erase the traces of our
historical homeland, I laugh at their
ignorance and ask: "Can you destroy
the historical memory of the Armenian
people?" While the villains of the socalled
Turks of the East cannot give
our country any thoughts or
feelings, my country cannot
become someone else's homeland
even if it is temporarily in foreign
hands.

Ես ցեղահաւատ եմ, եւ ահա՛

Ես իմ ժողովրդի քաղաքական

ինչպէ՜ս աճում է իր ժողովրդի
զօրութիւնը եւ արդարօրէն
ընդարձակւում է Հայաստանը:
I adore my race (roots), I am the
successor of my roots, and I will
personally serve my people and my
parents. I'm fighting for my roots,
I'm a Tseghakron. My generation
bears a greater burden. Tseghakron's
symbol is to be stronger. Tseghakron
wants to see how the people are
consolidating and how Armenia is
expanding.

կամիմ, կարող եմ գերազանցել, եւ
պէտք է գերազանցեմ ցեղիս

Ցեղակրօնը` մարտիկ է կամ

այդպիսին:
Անձնական կամքի մշակութեամբ՝
ցեղակրօնը սատարում է հայ ոգու

The enemies of my race (roots) are
the Turks, the Bolsheviks and their
allies. Only Turks destroy my race
(root).
I am "Tseghakron”, and I must defeat
the enemy of my race (root), the
Turks.
Tseghakron is either a warrior or
prepares to be one. Tseghakron
voluntarily helps Armenian spirit to
grow.

որոշեց կազմակերպությունը
վերանվանել «Ամերիկայի Հայ
երիտասարդաց դաշնակցություն»:
Վերանվանումը բացատրվում էր
նրանով, որ իբր ցեղակրոն դժվար
էր օտարներին բացատրել
«ցեղակրոն» բառի նշանակությունը:
The organization was renamed
"Armenian Youth Dashnaktsutyun" at
the 8th representative meeting of the
Tseghakron in Chicago in 1941. They
attributed this to the difficult
explanation of the meaning of the
word Tseghakron.

Հաղորդակից լինել Ցեղին,
կնշանակի` նրանով որոշել քո
անհատական երջանկությունն ու
ազատությունը:
Ցեղակրոնության մեջ Ցեղի արյունը
աստվածություն է, քանզի սրանով է
նաեւ պայմանավորված Ցեղի
հոգեմարմնական կերտվածքը:
Ցեղակրոնությունը քարոզում է
պաշտամունք Ցեղի արյան
նկատմամբ:
Այլ խոսքով, Ցեղակրոնությունը
մերժում է խառնացեղ
ամուսնությունները:
Being related to one's race (root)
means that your happiness and
freedom are determined with it. Being
a Tseghakron is the deification of the
blood of the race (root) because the
spiritual form of the race (root)
depends on it. Being a Tseghakron
requires worshiping the blood of the
race (root). In short, Tseghakron is
against mixed marriages.
33
Հայ կոչվելու արժանի չէ նա, ով մեր
երկրագնդի վրա հայ անունից
ավելի մի այլ բան է սիրում:
Ցեղակրոնությունը չի՜ ընդունում
միայն կույր բնազդի կամ զուտ
տրամաբանության վրա հենված
ցեղապաշտություն,
ցեղասիրություն:
Whoever in the world loves anything
other than the Armenian name has no
right to call themselves an Armenian.
Tseghakron does not accept a logical
lineage.
35
Ցեղակրոնությունը, այդպիսով,
հայրենատեր դառնալու կամք է:
Այն նաեւ վրեժխնդրության
պարտավորություն է, թուրքին
չներելու պատգամ եւ, ըստ այդմ,
վրիժակների դարբնոց, մի հայ
զոհի փոխարեն աշխարհ կգան
երկու նոր վրիժակներ:
Tseghakron is the will to own the
homeland. Not to take revenge on the
Turk, to forgive him - that is, to forgive
one of his sins means leading to
another.
36 Ցեղակրոնությունը պահանջում է`
աններում վրեժ թուրքից:
Tseghakron requires vengeance
against the Turks.
37 Նժդեհը Ցեղի թշնամի է հռչակում
թուրքին:
Nzhdeh considers Turks the enemy of
the race (roots).
41
Ցեղակրոնությունը` հաղթանակի
երաշխիք է:
Գերազանցելու ճիգ է
Ցեղակրոնությունը:
Նա ուսուցանում է, թե Ցեղի
արտաքին թշնամիներին
գերազանցած լինելու համար,
պետք էնախ գերազանցել իր
նախորդ սերնդին:
Նժդեհն ասել է, թե հայը միայն
Ցեղակրոնությամբ կարող է
հաղթել։
Ցեղամարդ հայի գաղափարատիպն
է ցեղակրոնը:
Նա ատում է վախկոտությունը։
Tseghakron is a guarantee of victory.
Being a Tseghakron is an attempt for
superiority. It teaches that you must
defeat the mistakes of your previous
race (root) in order to defeat the
external enemy of the race (root).
According to Nzhdeh, an Armenian
can defeat the enemy only with
Tseghakron. Tseghakron is the
Armenian race’s (root’s) ideology. He
hates cowardice.
42 Ցեղակրոնը թշնամի է ճանաչում
թուրքին:
Tseghakron considers Turks its
enemy.
Literary translation for the term
"Tseghakron":
The word tseghakron is a combination
of two words. 1. tsegh – race, root,
lineage, tribe, clan 2. gron - religion.

Այն ամենը, որ աննյութեղեն Հայրենիք է ստեղծում: Այո՛, մարդ-

դա հնարավոր լիներ, արդյո՞ք թոյլատրելի է դա: Ո՛չ, հազար

որպիսին կհանդիսանան ազգությունները:
Աշխարհն ու իր խաղաղությունը ոչինչ կշահեն, եթե միայն
մենք վայր դնենք սուրը, որ մերկացրել ենք հանուն մեր ազգա-
յին անկախության և ի պաշտպանություն մեր ցեղի առանձնա-
հատուկ հանճարի: Չկա միաիդեալ և միակամ մարդկություն:
Կան ինքնանկախ ու ինքնիշխան ազգեր միայն - մի դրություն,
որ պիտի շարունակվի մնալ նույնը և մեր որպես ուրույն ազ-
գություն չքանալուց հետո: Միջազգային մրցումներն ու բա-
խումները պիտի շարունակվեն տեղի տված ազգության գերեզ-
մանի վրա: Մեր օրերում, երբ մեծագույն թագավորությունները
բաժանում են ճակատագիրն «այն նավերի, որոնք չափից ավելի
են բեռնավորված», երբ մեծ պետությունները դատապարտված
են կորչելու, վերածվելով ազգային ուրույն միավորների, հայ
համայնավարները, որոնք ճգնում են սպանել հայ ազգության
գաղափարը, կամենալով, որ Հայաստան երկիրը բաժանված
մնա Ռուսիայի և Թուրքիայի միջև, կատարում են միաժամա-
նակ և հակաքաղաքակրթական մի քստմնելի դեր: Իսկ մենք,
դավանելով անկախ Հայրենիքի գաղափարը, պաշտպանում
ենք քաղաքակրթական մի լուրջ ազդակ: Ազգերի հանճարը

president said: "The pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait [Sumqayit] and Baku and the attempts at
forcible mass expulsion of Armenians from Karabakh in 1991-92 are evidence of the fact that it was
generally impossible for Armenians to live in Azerbaijan. This is about ethnic incompatibility. It is
certainly unpleasant for me to say this, but this is a fact. Almost the same has been registered in the
Balkans. This is a reason for our statement that Armenia is responsible for the security of the
Nagornyy Karabakh population. A nation that knows what genocide is, cannot allow its repetition.

Yerevan, 31 January: Secretary-General of the Council of Europe Walter Schwimmer has regretted
Armenian President Robert Kocharyan's statement on "ethnic incompatibility of Armenians and
Azerbaijanis".
Walter Schwimmer said that "recalling the dark pages of European history will never be a good
election strategy", Mediamax reports. Speaking about the upcoming presidential elections in
Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2003, Schwimmer called on both sides to refrain from bellicose
statements.
Schwimmer said that upon accession to the Council of Europe, Armenia and Azerbaijan had
committed themselves to a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem, "which we take very
seriously".
"Europe, to which Armenia and Azerbaijan belong, begins with the acceptance of European diversity
- be it ethnic, cultural, religious or linguistic," the secretary-general of the Council of Europe said.
The Armenian president's statement, which Walter Schwimmer quoted, was not connected with the
upcoming elections, but was made on 16 January in Moscow, five days before the election
campaign kicked off, Mediamax reports. Moreover, Robert Kocharyan's statement, which the
general-secretary of the Council of Europe commented on, was taken out of the context of the
president's speech.
Speaking at the Russian Foreign Ministry Diplomatic Academy on 16 January, the Armenian
president said: "The pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait [Sumqayit] and Baku and the attempts at
forcible mass expulsion of Armenians from Karabakh in 1991-92 are evidence of the fact that it was
generally impossible for Armenians to live in Azerbaijan. This is about ethnic incompatibility. It is
certainly unpleasant for me to say this, but this is a fact. Almost the same has been registered in the
Balkans. This is a reason for our statement that Armenia is responsible for the security of the
Nagornyy Karabakh population. A nation that knows what genocide is, cannot allow its repetition.
This is the reality."

Statement by the Chairman of the CSCE Council
The following statement by the Chairman of the CSCE Council on
reports of renewed military operations in the region of
conflict dealt with by the Conference on Nagorno-Karabakh is
circulated at the request of the Chairman.
"I have received reports of renewed military operations in
the region of conflict. They are a matter of deep concern.
It is particularly disturbing that they come at a time when
the CSCE is about to make an effort to intensify the direct
dialogue with the parties in order to remove the obstacles
to the convening of the Minsk Conference.
Acquisition of territory by force can never be condoned or
accepted as a basis for territorial claims. The military
operations must immediately cease and troops be withdrawn to
the positions they had when the latest operations started. I
further-more urge the parties to extend the ceasefire, once
it is restored, and to make it permanent. I appeal to them
to reflect upon the appalling alternatives and to commit
themselves to the re-establishment of peace in the region."

15. On my way to Baku, I was .informed that the temporary
cease-fi:i::·e in the region had broken dtiwn. Upon arri.va1 i.n
Azerbaijan, I made a statement on the situation in which
I demanded that military operations should cease and that
tr<::iaps be withdrawn to their pcJSi tions before the
outbreak of hostilities prior to my visit. The renewed
military activities had an adverse effecl on the
atmosp:t-1ere of. the ta.lks I had and, more importantly,; on
any hope of making at least partial prbgress in
addressing some of the i􀜖􀜗ues of the conflict.
16. 'I'he Fresi.dent of A.z.erba.:Lj an expre.issed bitter
diisappointroent at what was charactr􀜘rized as a wholly
unjusti,fi.ed Armenian offensive and al the fa:.lure of the
internaticm.a.l co:rm:cn:mi.ty to take effective m􀜙asures to
counter the J\rmenian policy of military conquest. While
stati.r1g that a new approach to the conflict 'had been
tried, the Azeri President 􀜚mderlined that he had
precious few re􀜛ults to shew for his efforts. In this
situation, the Aze1:·i Government had to consider it5
re!:ponsi.btli t :i.es towards the .l\.z.eri people and exami:rn :L ts
policy options. 'I'he 1.:i,zeri leaders made a number of
references to the intolerable human suffering in tb:: wake
of the cor1flict - mainly the large number of refugees and
displaced per3on􀜜.
17. It comes as no surprise that the views of the leaders
of Armenia were a mirror image of those of the leadership
of Azerbaijan. The President of Armenia emphasized that,
ir1 the period leading up to the 01..:i.tbreak of t.he la.test
military action, developments had, in his view, held out
some hope for progre􀜝s. Work on the Minsk Group timetable
had advanced reasonably well. In Armenian eyes, Russia
was playing a constructive role in assisting the parties
to addr􀜞ss the issues of the conflict. The new President
of Azerba.ij an seemed to di.splay a real:L5tic a.tti tude and
,._,_. _. , , ,,. ___________
prefer a peaceful resolution to the conflicL. However,
these hopes had been dashed. Azerbaijan, the Armenian
President stated, now seemed to want to back out of its
undertaking,s. Its co:raroitroent to a peaceful resolution
could be questioned. The outbreak of military hostilities
prior to my arrival was, according to my Ar:me:nian
interlocutors, the result of actions taken by the Azeri
side.
18. As I indicated, I mAt the leadership of Nagorno
Karabakh to discuss with them the prospects of making
some progress in tackling issues related to the conflict.
Its representative, Mr. Kocharyan, disassociated himself
from the comprehensive app:co􀞀. .. c:h of the Minsk Group in
trying to address the issues of the conflict. He
q1,;i.e:sti.oned the wisdom of making llni lateral concessions to
the other side before the start of the Minsk Conference -
such concessions were an integral part of the timetable.
Mr. Kocharyan asserted that it seemed as if the CSCE was
more interested in protecting states than in protecting
popuJ....1.;ttio11s.
19. The parties were adamant in laying dovn-1 their own
negotiating positions in the talks they had with me
during my visit to the region􀞁 I need not repeat here the
details of those positions, familiar as they are to .. all
participants and observers of'the peace process. Suffice
it to say, th􀞂t it seemed to me that, in plac.:e of a
willingness to take new, bold steps for peace, the
parties displayed hardening positions and, in a few
case.s l' they appeared t,> be retreating from more
forthcoming views expressed previously. Although the
parties expressed a willingne􀞃s to search for peace and
work with the CSCE to achieve this objective, there
seemed to be l .. i ttle willingness to conternpla .. te concrete
measures. The political stabilization in Azerbaijan is
certainly a positive. factor. More frequent contacts
between the parties is another favourable element. At the
same time, the increase of the territory under
occupation, the uncertainty about the extension and
consolil'.ia.tion of the cease-fi..re 1 the growing number of
refugees and the absence of a sense cf urgency in
addressing the conflict are all factors that give rise to
grave c.oncex;n, Equally troublesome is the nnacce.ptable
scorched earth policy practised by the military forces of
Nagorno Karabakh. I raised the latter problem and
expressed my own views on this practice in unequivocal
terms, both in di.scussions with [email protected] of
.Armeni,a and in :my talk.s w1th the leiiidership of Nagcrr10
Karabakh.
20, I do not take the view that the numerons setbacks a.nd
the failure to achieve a breakthrough demonstrate the
hopelessness of the cause of peace. I tried to make

The FAM observed that administrative boundaries of the te1Titories and the former NKO hwe
been extensively redraw11.·_A 2008 map, which is available for sale in NK and which is be;ng
used in at least some schotils in the territories, includes the former NKO, the territories, ar d other
areas in a single entity cailed '·Artsakh." Local authorities told the FAM that for administ·cative
purposes. the seven districts ofAgdam, Fizuli, Jebrail, Kubatly, Zangelan, Lachin, and Kelbajar
have been incorporated. along with the former NKO, into eight districts:. Askeran, Hadru ..
Martakert, Martuni, Shaumian, Shushi, Kashatagh, and Stepanakert. This redrawing of
boundaries has involved both the renaming of some districts and the transfer of areas that were in
the seven territories. For example, NK authorities administer 1he regions of Kubatly, Lach in. and
Zungclan as one district called ·'Kashatagh," and the Kelbajar region as a district called
"Shaumian." An area in the district of Agdam, near the village of·'Yangenashen." is now
consiJere<l to be in the.district or '·Manuni."
Along with these changes in administrative districts, the/;AM observed that m.any settlements
have been renamed with Armenian names o.r that only Annenian names are used to refer to
settlements that previously ha<l Azeri names'. NK authorities accompanying the FAM ofien
claimctl that they no longer knew the Azerii1ames of villages. 'The city of Aisdam, whi,;h had as
many as 70,000 inhabitants prior to the NK conflict, no longer appears on maps or roacl signs.
Road signs usually are in Armenian, and in some cases in Latin script.
Local administration capabilities are limited, with minimal public servi.:es. ''Governors" for eac;h

populated in the territories, feature more developed local administration structures, with
dedicated buildings. In smaller settlements, there is a more informal arrangement of elected
"community leaders" who spoke on behalf of inhabitants.
Situation in Formerly Inhabited Areas

Introduction
1. Taking into account that the mandate of the Committee for the Protection of Cultural
Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (hereinafter “the Committee”) is to monitor and
supervise the implementation of the 1999 Second Protocol, as stipulated under Article
27(1)(c) of this treaty, Azerbaijan submits the present document on the destruction of
cultural property in the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan affected by the armed
aggression and military occupation byArmenia.
2. The document is submitted pursuant to Rule 12(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the
Committee as a new item: “Document on the destruction of cultural property in the
territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the course of the armed aggression and military
occupation byArmenia”.
3. Oral update may be provided at the 15 th meeting of the Committee, by the delegate(s) of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of theCommittee.
Situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and surrounding Azerbaijani
territories occurred due to the armed aggression and military occupation by Armenia
4. Cultural heritage is essential factor determining national identity of peoples and reflects a
common interest of the international community. Therefore, provisions of international legal
instruments regarding protection of cultural heritage are considered “jus cogens” norms of
international law, which all the states have to comply withthem.
5. Property of “great importance to the cultural heritage of every people” is granted special
protection under the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the
Event of Armed Conflict (to which both Armenia and Azerbaijan are parties). Under Article
4(1) and 4(2) of this instrument, parties must refrain from any act of hostility, directed
against such property”, a rule which “may be waived only in cases where military necessity
imperatively requires such a waiver”. Article 53 of Additional Protocol I providesthat:
“Without prejudice to the provisions of the Hague Convention for the
Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict of 14 May
1954 and of other relevant international instruments, it is prohibited:
(a) to commit any acts of hostility directed against the historic
monuments, works of art or places of worship which constitute the
cultural or spiritual heritage ofpeoples.
6. In the aftermath of the armed aggression of Armenia against the Republic of Azerbaijan
during the 1991-1994, the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan - Nagorno-
Karabakh region and seven adjacent districts (Lachyn, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Gubadly,
Zangilan and Jabrayil) have fallen under occupation. In 1993, the United Nations Security
Council adopted resolutions 822 (1993), 853 (199ss3), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993),
condemning the use of force against Azerbaijan and occupation of its territories and
reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the inviolability of its
internationally recognized borders. In those resolutions, the Security Council demanded
immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of all occupying forces from all the
occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. On 14 March 2008 UN General
Assembly adopted the resolution A/62/243 entitled “The situation in the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan” demanding immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of all
Armenian forces from all occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Other
international organizations have taken a similar stance. The European Court of Human
Rights, also in its judgement Chiragov and Others vs. Armenia which clearly states that
“Armenia exercises effective control over Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding
territories”, confirmed the occupation of Nagorno- Karabakh region and surrounding
C54/20/15.COM/16 - page 3
territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan by Armenia. In Resolution 1416 (2005), adopted on
25 January 2005, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe points out that
considerable parts of the territory of Azerbaijan remain occupied by Armenianforces.
7. Although the cease-fire was agreed in 1994, Armenia regularly violated cease-fire regime.
Between 1 January 2020 and 26 September 2020, the breaches of cease-fire had been
significantly increased by the armed forces of Armenia along the Line of Contact and the
state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. On 27 September 2020 the armed forces of
Armenia blatantly violating the cease-fire regime launched another act of armed aggression
against Azerbaijan, by intensively shelling the positions of the armed forces of Azerbaijan
along the frontline, as well as the villages of Qapanli of Terter district, Chiragli and
OrtaGaravend of Aghdam district, Alkhanli and Shukurbeyli of Fuzuli district and
JojuqMerjanli of Jabrayil district, using large-caliber weapons, mortar launchers and
artillery. On the following days, the armed forces of Armenia even further expanded the
geography of offensive through launching missile attacks on large cities and other civilian
settlements far from the frontline, such as the city of Ganja, Barda, Mingachevir, Yevlakh
and others. In order to repel military aggression by Armenia and provide the security of
densely populated civilian residential areas the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan
undertook counter- offensive measures on the sovereign soil of Azerbaijan within the right
of self-defense and in full compliance with international humanitarian law. Since the
resumption of hostilities until 10 November 2020, when a Statement was signed by the
President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan,thePrimeMinisteroftheRepublicofArmeniaandthePresidentoftheRussianFederatio
n on complete ceasefire and cessation of all hostilities, totally 94 Azerbaijani civilians,
including children, women and elderly were killed, 414 civilians have been hospitalized with
serious injuries. Around 3410 private houses, more than 120 apartment buildings and 512
civilian infrastructures were damaged and became unserviceable as a result of Armenia’s
deliberate, widespread and systematic attacks.
8. It is to be noted that there are hundreds of cultural institutions, including 927 libraries, with
total of 4.6 million books, 808 cultural sites, 22 museums and their branches with over
100,000 artefacts and 706 historical and cultural monuments located in the Nagorno-
Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and surrounding Azerbaijani territories. The most of this
cultural and religious heritage have been already severely damaged or destroyed as a result
of military occupation by Armenia. Over 30 years Armenia has pursued systematic policy to
deny historical and cultural Azerbaijani roots of the occupied territories with a view to
consolidating the results of illegal use of force and notorious practice of ethnic cleansing.
The obvious goal of Armenia is to erase cultural, historical and scientific evidence of
millennia- old presence of the Azerbaijani people in these territories with a view to securing
their annexation. As a result, thousands of unique examples of Azerbaijani cultural heritage
in the occupied territories have been subjected to destruction, pillage and looting.
Furthermore, Armenia has been engaging in systematic actions aimed at altering the
character and origins of cultural-historical monuments in the occupied territories including
through illegal excavations therein. Deliberate activities of Armenia in this direction are
defined as cultural cleansing against Azerbaijan. The report of Armenia on the
Implementation of the 1954 Hague Convention and its two Protocols provides no
information on the implementation of the provisions related to theoccupation.1
9. In this context, the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan wishes to stress that
significant damage has been inflicted on cultural properties during yet another act of the
armed aggression since 27 September 2020 (See Annex 1 and Annex 2). A mausoleum of
13 th century built on the memory of great Sufi Sheykh Babi Yagub, which is a sacred shrine
for the Azerbaijani people, the Museum of History-Ethnography in Fuzuli region of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, historical men gymnasium (school) of Ganja (Ganja Gymnasium)
1 See the report submitted by Armenia, 2017
C54/20/15.COM/16 - page 4
(inventory number 3838), built in 1881, which was the alma mater of the founders of the
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic of 1918 were damaged due to Armenian armed forces'
shelling. Other monuments, such as the Imamzade mosque of 9th century, the 19th century
Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Church were also damaged due to the constant missile attacks
byArmenia.
10. During the first monitoring mission conducted by the Government of the Republic of
Azerbaijan in the liberated territories after the Statement of 10 November, 180 cultural
facilities were identified, including 86 libraries, 44 houses of culture, 1 cultural center, 27
clubs,8museums,10children'smusicschoolsand4otherculturalfacilities. Almost all of them
(172 out of 180) are in a completely destroyed state. 71 historical and cultural monuments
and objects having historical, cultural, architectural, and archaeological importance were
identified, including a Caucasian Albania temple in Hadrut settlement, Khojavand district
(dating back to 1170), Maiden Tower (12th century) in the village of Amirkhanli, and an
eight-pointed mausoleum in the village of Mammadbeyli, Zangilan district, as well as
Karavansaray (17th century) in the village of Garghabazar, Fuzuli district. 38 monuments out
of 71 identified were completely destroyed as a result of the occupation by Armenia. All
mosques in the liberated territories, including 18th century Mamar mosque, 18th century
mosque in Alkhanli village of Fuzuli, ancient mosque in Afandilar village of Gubadly, and
many others have been almost destroyed and transformed to pigpen (See Annex 3). State of
the mosques in Shusha, historical and cultural capital of Karabakh will be verified once the
conditionsallow.
11. In addition, it must be noted that after the Statement, according to Armenian media reports,
the bells, crosses and ancient manuscripts of 13th century Caucasian Albania Khudavang
monastery have been illegally removed to Armenia (See Annex 3). Besides that, precious
artefacts reportedly found during illegal archaeological excavations near Shahbulagfortress
ofAghdam district and kept in the local museum were also illegally transported to Armenia.
All these acts constitute a gross violation of the 1954 Hague Convention and its two (1954
and 1999)Protocols.
12. An occupying power must prevent the illicit export of cultural property from occupied
territory and must return illicitly exported property to the competent authorities of the
occupied territory. Inparticular:
(a) The First Protocol (1954) to the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of
Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict requires States “to prevent the
exportation, from a territory occupied by it during an armed conflict, of cultural
property” (Article 1 (1) and to return, at the close of hostilities, to the competent
authorities of the territory previously occupied, cultural property which is in its
territory” (Article 1(3)).
(b) Article 2 (2) of the 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and
Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transport of Ownership of Cultural
Property obliges States to oppose the illicit import, export and transfer of
ownership of cultural property, while Article 11 of Convention states that “the
export and transfer of ownership of cultural property under compulsion arising
directly or indirectly from the occupation of a country by a foreign power shall
be regarded asillicit”.
(c) The Second Protocol (1999) to the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of
Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (to which both Armenia and
Azerbaijan are parties)
requiresthatanoccupyingpowerprohibitandprevenf‘anyillicitexport,otherremoval
ortransfer of ownership of cultural property” (Article 9 (1)) and to suppress such
violations (Article 21).

(JANUARY 2021) (PAGES 1, 3)
The Juma Mosque in Agdam / Karabakh
Inspection & Report 2020
ATELIER ERICH PUMMER GMBH 1
The Juma Mosque in Agdam / Karabakh
The Juma Mosque in Agdam was built between 1868 and 1870 according to the plans of
architect Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi. The architectural design is based on the building
tradition of all the prayer houses in the Karabakh region. For example, the mosques in Susa,
Füzuli and Horadiz.
Typical features of this type of construction are three-nave prayer halls separated by four
stone columns, spanned by two galleries and domed ceilings, three-beam ivans and two
brick cylindrical minarets.
The dimensions of the mosque are approx.:
Floor area: 22 x 22 m / approx. 484 m²
Maximum dome height: 9.5 m
Minaret height: 25 m
Facade height: 7 m
After 28 years of Armenian occupation and recapture by the Azerbaijani army, the
territory and the ruined city of Agdam were returned on 20. November 2020. On 10.
December 2020, I followed the invitation of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and visited the
mosque in Agdam to carry out an initial assessment. The following report conveys my
impressions gained from this assessment, without claiming to be liability or complete.
Description of the building fabric and its damage
The structure of the outer walls and vertically rising load-bearing walls, including the
façades, were built of limestone ashlars in combination with lime mortar. The bases of the
two minarets are also made of solid limestone, Fig.01. The octagonal columns on the main
north façade (ivan) and in the prayer hall are also made of solid limestone, Fig.02. During a
later renovation, the east, south and west façades were clad with grey marble slabs
mounted on a support of concrete iron grating and concrete, Fig.03. Most of this cladding is
badly damaged and is flaking away from the original limestone façade underneath, Fig.04.
The limestone façades are designed in their original appearance stone-faced with applied
joints, Fig.05. The limestone interior walls of the ivane on the north façade are plastered
with lime mortar, as are the brick vaults, Fig.06. Above the original beige plaster in the vaults
of the ivane is a second layer of renovation, painted in light blue, Fig.07, and with dark blue
Arabic inscriptions, Fig.08. These layers of plaster are very friable and are falling away from
the substrate in large areas.

Recommendation for further action
The mosque in Agdam is one of the few remaining buildings in the Karabakh region and
claims a high symbolic and ethnic value in addition to its religious and architectural
significance.
The house of prayer was desecrated, demolished and gutted in a despicable manner. Thanks
to the quality planning and building techniques of the 19th century, the building has survived
these severe abuses in its basic structure. Thus, there are no technical principles or
monument preservation arguments standing in the way of a restoration and reactivation of
the mosque.
An indispensable basis for a subsequent restoration is the exact measurement, 3D
visualisation and inventory. This service could be provided by our Austrian surveying team in
spring 2021. The finished results and plans could be expected in the summer. Based on these
data, plans and models, the project planning and preparation of the restoration could take
place.
The first important steps on site would be the creation of the necessary infrastructure such
as transport routes, security, power supply, water supply and storage facilities.

президент Азербайджана
Ильхам Алиев заявил, что Баку
даже не намерен обсуждать
прекращение огня, пока не
получит гарантии вывода из

As far as Karabakh, today Armenian Prime
Minister Nikol Pashinian has called on
everyone who has been discharged from
the Armed Forces over the last year to
participate in the defense effort, whereas
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has
stated that Baku does not even intend to
discuss cease-fire until it receives
guarantees that Armenian troops will be
withdrawn from Karabakh. The parties
have continued exchanging strikes and
published new information on casualties
today. The information is extremely
alarming. Next – reports from both sides of
the conflict by my colleagues, Anna

городов, которые подверглись
обстрелу. Это торговый центр
города Гинжа, где живет 300
тысяч человек. Как заявляет
Баку, его обстреляли ракетами.
Вот последствия удара в городе
Барда. Разрушены жилые дома,
погибла женщина. А это другой

Менгечевир. По нему, по
информации Баку, было
выпущено 7 ракет. Две из них
взорвались. Это – фото из

Today, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry has
published not so much as footage of strikes
as photos and video footage of towns and
villages and major cities that have been
fired upon. This is a shopping center in the
city of Kinzha, population 300 thousand.
As stated by Baku, it was subjected to
missile attacks. These are the results of a
strike delivered against the city of Barda.
Residential buildings have been destroyed
and a woman has died. This is another
industrial city, Menghechevir. According to
Baku’s information, it was hit by 7
missiles, 2 of which exploded. This is a
photo posted on Twitter by the Azerbaijani
President’s aide. Missiles fell near an
electric power plant; however, the
warheads did not go off. Today, the
Azerbaijani office of the General
Prosecutor has convened an urgent meeting
attended by foreign ambassadors and
military attaches. Official Baku has spoken
to foreign diplomats in a total of three

cessation of strikes at peaceful villages.

– Бибиэльбаз. Здесь добывают
легкую и низко сернистую нефть
марки Азерлайт. Она лучше, а
значит дороже эталонной Брент.
Нефть — это основа
государственного бюджета
Азербайджана, а значит и

Алиев в интервью турецкому
телеканалу «Хабер» назвал
позицию России по Карабаху
ответственной и сдержанной, а
также сказал, что в процесс
урегулирования нужно ввести
новых участников.
The armed conflict in Karabakh may affect
the oil price. This is the Bibielbaz field
where light and low-sulfur Azerlight oil is
produced, which is better and, therefore,
more expensive than the benchmark Brent
oil. Oil is the backbone of Azerbaijan’s
national budget and, therefore, of its
military budget. In an interview for the
Turkish network Khaber, President Ilham
Aliyev has referred to Russia’s Karabakh
position as responsible and restrained
before saying that new participants should
be made part of the conflict resolution
process.
02:21 President «Турция должна обязательно

During the day today, shelling continued of civilian areas around Stepanakert, foreign affairs
advisor to the President of Artsakh David Babayan has said in an ORA interview.
It has been suggested that the Azerbaijani side has used for this both aviation and anti-aircraft
missile systems. The enemy attempts to break through our defenses across the entire frontline
have been interdicted by skilled and heroic efforts of the defense army, militia, and volunteers.
According to Babayan, Artsakhs have been fighting subhumans and any human traits are out of
the question as evidenced by their humiliating treatment of POWs, bombardment and shelling of
residential buildings and hospitals. “But we will break their backbone anyway,” noted Babayan.

нашу оборону, но получает
очень чувствительные, очень
сильные контрудары, и
фактически его преступные
планы по прорыву нашей
обороны наши героические
войска и молодые ребята с

сегодня была бомбежка
окрестностей Степанакерта,
т.е. некоторых сел, которые
очень близко расположены к
городу. А так в целом ничего.
Война. Народ в целом
держится и будет держаться до
конца.
Very intense hostilities are under
way at some of the segments of the
frontline. The enemy has been
trying to break through our
defenses but is on the receiving
end of some very painful, powerful
counter strikes and, de facto, all of
its criminal plans to break through
our defenses are being suppressed
by our heroic troops and young
men from the militia. Today, there
was bombardment of the vicinities
of Stepanakert, i.e. several villages
in close proximity to the city. On
the whole, the situation is fine. It is
a war. On the whole, the people are
keeping it together and will do so
until the end.

что были и ракетные удары.

основном бои пока идут на
границе, но и гражданские
объекты также являются
целями азербайджано-
турецкого террористического
альянса, и на днях была
разбомблена больница,
госпиталь был уничтожен, и
даже среди врачей были
жертва. Ну то есть это почерк
террористов и нацистов. Мы
видим, как они относятся к
пленным, глумятся над ними.
Это нелюди. Говорить, что
они имеют хоть какую-то

мы имеем дело с такими
людьми. Но мы победим, мы
поломаем ихний хребет,
потому что наше дело правое,
мы победим, за нами наши
братья, братские страны. Я
уверен, что так и будет. Мы
видим, что на новый уровень
уже вышли международные
усилия по прекращению
As of today, hostilities are mostly
unfolding at the border. However,
civilian facilities, too, have been
targets of the Azerbaijani-Turkish
terrorist alliance. The other day, a
hospital was bombed and
destroyed and there even were
casualties among physicians. This
is how terrorist and Nazis operate.
We can see how they treat
prisoners and humiliate them.
These are not human. Talking
along the lines of them having
some kind of faith, morals is just
inappropriate. This is the kind of
people we are dealing with.
However, we will be victorious, we
will crush their backbone because
our cause is just, we will win,
behind us are out brothers,

that this will be the case. We can

stopping the bloodshed have
emerged to a new level, and Russia

которые, кстати, просочились

из Азербайджана, потому что
это те же террористы, которые
прибыли сюда, фактически
переброшены Турцией. Мы с

действиях. Некоторая часть
должна просочиться в Россию,
другая часть в (неразборчиво),

I think it is. Well, we still need to
brace for the worst so that better
times come sooner. But I think that
a certain evolution is occurring of
this approach adopted by the
international community, in
particular the Russian Federation.
We can see what kind of threat
terrorists pose for them now. They
even already wanted to blow up the
statue of the Motherland-Mother in
Volgograd, which is a symbol of
victory, victory in the fight against
evil, the Brown plague. And, by
the way, those terrorists seeped
into Russia specifically from
Azerbaijan because they are the
same terrorists who arrived here,
de facto were airlifted by Turkey.
We said from the very beginning
that not all of them were involved
in the hostilities. Part of them were
to make their way into Russia,
another part (unintelligible), yet
another part is going to be used by
the Aliyev regime to crack down
on certain protest action in
Azerbaijan itself. Because I do not
think that their Armed Forces, the

“IT IS STRANGE BUT WE MUST FIGHT TO DEMOCRATIZE AZERBAIJAN”
By Naira Manucharova
Recently, our politicians and public figures have been making high-profile statements about
nationalistic, chauvinistic, and racist ideas allegedly being inculcated in Armenia. It follows from these
statements that anti-Azerbaijani passions are being stirred up in the country: a specific situation, the
murder of an Armenian military officer in Budapest, is being globalized, and official assessments throw
shade on the entire Azerbaijani nation. We have asked the National Assembly of the Republic of
Armenia’s Vice-Speaker and member of ARF [Armenian Revolutionary Federation] Dashnaktsutyun
Bureau Vaan Hovhannesyan if such allegations are valid.
- Statements made by certain politicians and civil society organizations should be interpreted in two ways.
First, they are trying to create an impression (allegedly favourable for Armenia) among the international
community that there are highly democratic institutions here, whose activities are in full compliance with
European and, in general, Western standards and perceptions of democratic values, and that they shape
public opinion. The second aspect of these statements is more mundane and shows their authors’ failure to
fully understand the meaning of such concepts as nationalism, chauvinism, and racism. And here we arrive
at the philosophical question of just how correct the form of fighting for democracy is that our society has
chosen. Unfortunately, the development of democracy in the CIS, and in the South Caucasus region in
particular, has followed a heavily distorted path. Those who teach democracy to us, primarily Western,
European organizations, focus on its external manifestations. This is equally true for Armenia, Georgia,
and Azerbaijan. It is the superficial manifestations that are given importance. For instance, there is detailed
monitoring of how, in what form ballots are thrown into the ballot box... A meticulous, almost
microscopic, examination of democracy's exterior leads to discordance. Society starts working to achieve
these external aspects, while the substance of democracy recedes into the background and is very often
forgotten. This is why, for example, while stating that there is a free press, few wonder what this free press
publishes. There is freedom of speech and it is completely forgotten what is being said and articulated.
Western organizations pay a great deal of attention to the fact that political prisoners are held in
Azerbaijani prisons, that an opposition rally is dispersed by police, while completely ignoring the fact that
for years hatred towards the Armenian people has been building up in the Azerbaijani society. What
Azerbaijani newspapers have been writing cannot, by any standards, be considered as an attribute of a free
society. But a blind eye is being turned to it, and eyes are opened only if a newspaper or a TV channel is
shut down or its rights are infringed. It is because of this discordance, because of these out-of-whack
perceptions that some of our figures consider it their duty to make foolish statements about Armenian
chauvinism, racism.
- The statements are known to include a call for political restraint, as well as references to "unacceptable"
statements by officials of this country, members of the ruling coalition...
- As for the official assessments of the incident in Budapest, I am absolutely sure that, in their statements,
Welcome to East View Page 2 of 4
both Armen Rustamyan, Galust Saakyan and the nation's President have in mind the very serious political
implications of the incident. We have all talked about it, and the President said it most clearly, "The
incident in Budapest shows that living together is out of the question for Armenians and Azerbaijanis in
the foreseeable future.”
That is, we draw political conclusions, talk about the substance of democracy. Let us imagine for a
moment that there was no conflict in 1988 and refugees from both sides stayed put. Let us imagine that
Armenians remained in Sumgait and Baku and therefore participated in the 2003 election. If the
Azerbaijani police beat their own citizens with such ferocity what would have happened to Armenians if
they had tried to express a point of view different from the "central" one or if they had their own
candidate? Clearly, we would be subject to destruction not as political opponents, but as an ethnic group.
Not with batons, but with axes.
...Based on pseudo-democratic statements by certain domestic figures, an ill-wisher can draw a rather direct
and very dangerous conclusion for Armenia: If we do not have any complaints about the behaviour of
Azerbaijanis, whether ordinary people or the elite, then there are no factors to prevent Karabakh from being
made a part of Azerbaijan. The Armenian civil society seems to support this idea. Then who is not giving up
Karabakh? If it is not the people, then it is the authorities. Essentially, such statements seem to support Ter-
Petrosian's claim about the war party that has allegedly come to power in Armenia. But there is yet another
danger: as it is impossible to fathom that anyone in Karabakh subscribes to that viewpoint, and it does exist in
Armenia, another wedge is being driven between Armenia and Karabakh. If the political perspective were to
be put aside and an attempt were made to evaluate the events from a purely human, civil point of view, then
these gentlemen, who make such statements, are inviting us to be ashamed of our victory. I can't and won't be
ashamed of it. I take pride in the fact that, in 2015, my people fiercely resisted the genocidal Turks and Kurds,
and, as they were being killed, took so many enemies with them, that it is being said to this day, "They
slaughtered us, too". I am proud of those Dashnak detachments that prevented yet another genocide in Baku in
2018. I am proud that the Dashnaks are still hated and feared in Azerbaijan. I am proud of those refugees who
fought and resisted as they were leaving Baku. I have a relative who fought to his last round of ammunition.
Then he somehow managed to move his ailing mother to Georgia.
- So, you're a nationalist...
- Yes, of course. I am proud that in the Karabakh war, while we lost 5 thousand lives, we took 25 thousand
Azeri lives. I am proud that my comrades and I were involved in that. And my son is proud of it. And if
they come again, they should know that the score will be the same. And I'm not just proud of it secretly, at
night, I openly take pride in it. I do not think there is any shame in this. This is how any nation is raised.
Gone are the days when they could slaughter us unarmed, slaughter us while we were defenceless.
- How about while asleep?
- Attempts to slaughter us while asleep are still being made. Very well then, we'll sleep lightly. And I
think that the racket that has been kicked up by certain politicians and public figures with their ridiculous
statements that should wake us up from the lethargic sleep in which an axe could loom over us any
minute.
- To what extent does the definition of "Armenian racism" correspond to universally accepted definitions?
- Racism has never existed in Armenian society, nor has it ever existed in the adjacent countries, such as
the Byzantine Empire or the Arab Caliphate. Racism is a more recent phenomenon and concept. This, one
might say, is a quasi-scientific confirmation of natural xenophobia. Xenophobia is inherent in all peoples.
It can be seen sometimes in Armenians too, but not in the form of racism. After all, racism claims the
Welcome to East View Page 3 of 4
presence of some innate qualities - positive or negative. White racists believe that positive qualities travel
exclusively through the genes of the White race. Black racists from Haiti claim otherwise.
Armenians do not treat Azerbaijanis and even Turks and Kurds in a racist way. They understand
perfectly well, and it has been proven historically, that if a young Azerbaijani or Kurd is brought up in a
healthy, normal society, he will not hate Armenians. There is no Armenian-phobic gene. Armenophobia
is not a gene, it's upbringing. And what we are fighting against, what Armen Rustamyan, Galust Saakyan
and now me in particular have spoken out against, is portraying the Armenian as an enemy in Turkish
and Azerbaijani society, moreover as a potential target for abuse. When we are no longer perceived that
way, our attitude will naturally change as well. But we cannot be expected to be the first to change our
attitude. The first step to reconciliation must always be taken by whoever committed the crime, the one
who was the first to attack. That's what this is about, not any racist attitudes at all. Take note: Armenians
don't hate Turkic nations; we have excellent relations with Central Asian Muslim nations. We highly
value their culture and their contribution to the world civilization. The treasures of Samarkand, Bukhara,
by the way, were in part created by the genius of Armenian masters. In spite of the fact that Tamerlane's
hordes left no stone unturned in Armenia, it did not produce racism against the Uzbeks. I think all the
talk of racism today stems from ignorance.
- Indeed, the last thing we thought about was that we'd have to talk about how we're not racist,
racists aren't us...
- There are many students from the Near East, Middle East countries studying in Armenia. There are no racist
attitudes towards them. There are already several dozen refugees from East Africa who have applied for
residence permits in Armenia... I can also recall a story from "Candid Camera", when a male actor introduced
himself in the streets of Yerevan, as an Azerbaijani who had got separated from his group and was asking
passers-by for directions. There was no hostility, not a single insulting word was uttered against him. Passersby
willingly gave him directions. Can you imagine that in Baku, given the prevailing mood there, someone
would introduce himself as an Armenian who had gotten separated from his group? They'd have taken care of
him in the nearest building entrance.
- Why, in your opinion, have these sentiments become especially harsh under Ilham Aliyev?
- I predicted this. When the election campaign was unfolding in Azerbaijan, the authorities and the
opposition began to compete by blowing up anti-Armenian sentiments. At that time, the "degree" of anti-
Armenian statements of a militaristic nature increased sharply. Neither the authorities nor the opposition
had anything else to offer their own people... The oil pipeline and its benefits are in the future... - The
drive against corruption is in a distant future. Basic question: they are talking about a million refugees (in
fact there are far fewer, though the number is still significant). If these refugees were placed in the
apartments that had been taken away from the Armenians, the issue would certainly resolve itself. But
since these apartments were mostly of good quality, members of the Azerbaijani elite moved into them.
Notably, not just Aliyev's elite, but also Elchibey's elite, which is in opposition today. That is, the
Azerbaijani elite inherited what had been taken away from the Armenians, without sharing an ounce, a
penny or a crumb with these unfortunate people. However, one has to provide some kind of an
explanation to the refugees. Therefore, during the election campaign, anti-Armenian slogans and hysteria
become the core of any political speech. Both sides, trying to outdo one another in hatred for Armenia,
have made tons of promises, i.e. we have burdened ourselves with baggage, which is not easy to get rid
of now. The result of such intense propaganda and brainwashing was the grisly murder in Budapest.
However, this is but one manifestation. Imagine how many souls in Azerbaijan are being consumed by
this fire of hatred. In this regard, even if Ilham had inherited a grain of wisdom from his father, who was
Welcome to East View Page 4 of 4
able to find the willpower to stop the bloodshed and prevent it from resuming for ten years, he would not
have been allowed to behave differently. Neither his entourage nor the society would have allowed it.
The hardening of society and the associated hardening of the official position is evident. We have to
keep that in mind and not make any ill-considered statements that could be used against us.
- In this context, what is your forecast? - We have to work in two directions. The first is a symmetrical
response to Azerbaijan. When our neighbours talk about 20 per cent of the territory and a million refugees, we
need to show what those territories are like. We have answers on the legal, moral, and human levels. In
addition, we must fight for the democratization of Azerbaijan. Oddly enough, it's part of our mission. We must
constantly draw the world's attention to what is happening in Azerbaijani propaganda, the press. This is a task
for our civil society and human rights organizations; this and not "witch-hunting" in our own homeland.
In essence, societies have collided that exist in different eras. Armenia, of course, is not yet in the XXI
century, but it is at least in the XX century. Azerbaijan still has a tribal society, while the Armenian society,
albeit with difficulty, is sincerely trying to become part of Europe. In this respect, we are at different stages
of development. It is impossible to live in brotherly unity in this situation. After all, no one has ever tried to
force societies at different levels of civilization to live together. ..... I think it is unlikely that Azerbaijan will
start a direct military conflict in the near future. Although, of course, none of the scenarios can be ruled out.
We must thoroughly prepare for new diplomatic battles. These are definitely inevitable.

"Странно, но мы должны бороться за демократизацию Азербайджана"
Автор: Наира МАНУЧАРОВА
В последнее время наши политики и общественные деятели делают громкие заявления по
поводу якобы насаждающихся в Армении националистических, шовинистских, расистских
идей. Из этих заявлений следует, что в стране нагнетаются антиазербайджанские страсти:
частный случай - убийство армянского офицера в Будапеште - глобализуется, а
официальные оценки наводят "тень" на весь азербайджанский народ. Насколько правомерны
подобные утверждения - на этот вопрос мы попросили ответить вице-спикера НС РА, члена
бюро АРФ Дашнакцутюн Ваана ОВАНЕСЯНА. - Заявления, сделанные некоторыми
политиками и общественными организациями, следует расценивать двояко. Первое - они
пытаются создать у мировой общественности впечатление (якобы благоприятное для
Армении) о том, что здесь существуют в высшей степени демократические институты, чья
деятельность находится в полном соответствии с европейскими и вообще западными
стандартами и восприятием демократических ценностей и что именно они являются
рулевыми общественного мнения. Второй аспект этих заявлений более прозаичен и
свидетельствует о недопонимании их авторами смысла таких понятий, как национализм,
шовинизм, расизм. И тут мы подходим к рассмотрению философского вопроса о том,
насколько правильную форму борьбы за демократию избрало наше общество. К сожалению,
развитие демократии на территории СНГ, и в частности в Южнокавказском регионе, пошло
по какому-то искалеченному пути. Те, кто нас учит демократии - в основном это западные,
европейские организации, - фокусируются на внешних ее проявлениях. Это одинаково верно
как для Армении, так и для Грузии и Азербайджана. Значение придается именно
поверхностным проявлениям. Скажем, проводится детальный мониторинг того, как, в какой
именно форме забрасываются бюллетени в урну... Скрупулезное, чуть ли не под
микроскопом, изучение внешней стороны демократии приводит к диссонансу. Общество
начинает бороться за обеспечение этих внешних признаков, содержание же демократии
отходит на второй план и очень часто забывается. Вот почему, констатируя, к примеру, что
есть свободная пресса, мало кто интересуется, что эта свободная пресса публикует. Есть
свобода высказываний - совершенно забывается, что именно высказывается, озвучивается.
Западные организации обращают большое внимание факту содержания политзаключенных в
азербайджанских тюрьмах, разгону полицией оппозиционного митинга, но совершенно
игнорируют факт, что годами в азербайджанском обществе накапливается ненависть к
армянскому народу. То, что пишут азербайджанские газеты, ни по каким нормам не может
считаться признаком свободного общества. Но на это закрывают глаза, открывают лишь в
случае, если какую-то газету или телеканал закроют или ущемят в правах. Именно из-за
этого диссонанса, из-за этой вывихнутости представлений некоторые наши деятели считают
своим долгом делать глупые заявления об армянском шовинизме, расизме. - Известно, что в
этих заявлениях - призыв к политической сдержанности, а также ссылки на "неприемлемые"
высказывания официальных лиц страны, членов правящей коалиции... - Что касается
официальных оценок инцидента в Будапеште, то я абсолютно уверен, что в своих
Welcome to East View Page 1 of 4
file:///C:/Users/abclemen/AppData/Local/Temp/18/Temp1_eastview-download-16244870... 6/23/2021
высказываниях и Армен Рустамян, и Галуст Саакян, и президент страны имеют в виду очень
серьезные политические последствия происшедшего. Об этом говорили все мы, президент
же высказался наиболее четко: "Происшедшее в Будапеште показывает, что о совместном
проживании армян и азербайджанцев в обозримом будущем речи идти не может". То есть
мы делаем политические выводы, говорим о содержании демократии. Давайте представим
на минуту, что в 88-м конфликта не было и беженцы с обеих сторон остались на местах.
Представим, что армяне остались в Сумгаите и Баку, а стало быть, приняли участие в
выборах 2003-го. Если азербайджанская полиция с такой яростью избивала своих
собственных соотечественников, то что произошло бы с армянами, попытайся они выразить
отличную от "центральной" точку зрения или же если бы они имели своего кандидата?
Очевидно, нас бы уничтожали уже не как политических оппонентов, а как этнос. Не
дубинками, а топорами.
...Из псевдодемократических заявлений некоторых отечественных деятелей
недоброжелатель может сделать достаточно прямой и очень опасный для Армении вывод:
если у нас нет никаких претензий к поведению азербайджанцев, будь то народа или элиты,
то нет и мешающих факторов для включения Карабаха в состав Азербайджана. Армянское
гражданское общество вроде бы поддерживает эту идею. Тогда кто не отдает Карабах? Если
не народ, то власть. По сути такими заявлениями как бы поддерживается тер-петросяновское
утверждение о партии войны, якобы пришедшей в Армении к власти. Но есть еще
опасность: поскольку невозможно представить, что кто-либо в Карабахе разделяет такую
точку зрения, а в Армении она существует, то вбивается еще один клин между Арменией и
Карабахом. Если же оставить в стороне политическую призму и попытаться оценить
происходящее чисто по-человечески, по-граждански, то эти господа, позволяющие себе
подобные заявления, предлагают нам стыдиться нашей победы. Я же стыдиться этого не
могу и не хочу. Я горжусь, что в 15-м году мой народ яростно сопротивлялся туркам и
курдам, осуществлявшим геноцид, и, уходя в могилу, унес за собой такое количество врага,
что те до сих пор говорят: мол, нас тоже резали. Я горжусь теми дашнакскими отрядами,
которые в 18-м году в Баку не позволили осуществиться еще одному геноциду. Горжусь, что
дашнаков в Азербайджане до сих пор ненавидят и боятся. Я горжусь теми беженцами,
которые уходили из Баку, отбиваясь, сопротивляясь. У меня есть родственник, который до
последнего патрона отстреливался. Потом сумел каким-то образом вывезти больную мать в
Грузию. - Так вы - националист...
- Да, конечно. Я горжусь, что в карабахской войне на 5 тысяч наших жизней мы положили
25 тысяч азербайджанских. Я горжусь, что я и мои товарищи принимали в этом участие. И
мой сын этим гордится. И если они снова пойдут, то должны знать, что счет будет таким же.
И я не просто этим горжусь тайно, ночью - я горжусь открыто. Считаю, что в этом нет
ничего постыдного. Именно так воспитывается любая нация. Кончились времена, когда они
могли нас резать безоружными, резать беззащитными. - Как насчет спящими? - Спящими все
еще пробуют. Что ж, мы будем спать более чутко. И я думаю, что тот звон, который подняли
некоторые политики и общественные деятели своими нелепыми заявлениями, должен
пробудить нас от летаргического сна, в котором над нами каждую минуту может нависнуть
топор. - Насколько соответствует общепринятым дефинициям определение "армянский
расизм"? - Расизма в армянском обществе не существовало никогда, как, впрочем, не
существовало его и в окружающих нас странах - Византии, Арабском халифате. Расизм -
более позднее явление и понятие. Это, можно сказать, наукообразное подтверждение
естественной ксенофобии. Ксенофобия же присуща всем народам. Проявляется она иногда и
у армян, но никоим образом не в форме расизма. В конце концов, расизм утверждает
Welcome to East View Page 2 of 4
file:///C:/Users/abclemen/AppData/Local/Temp/18/Temp1_eastview-download-16244870... 6/23/2021
наличие каких-то врожденных качеств - положительных или отрицательных. Белые расисты
считают, что положительные качества путешествуют исключительно по генам белой расы.
Черные расисты с Гаити утверждают обратное.
Армяне к азербайджанцам и даже к туркам и курдам по-расистски не относятся. Они
прекрасно понимают, и исторически это доказано, что если маленького азербайджанца или
курда воспитать в здоровом, нормальном обществе, он не будет ненавидеть армян. Не
существует армянофобского гена. Армянофобия - не ген, а воспитание. И то, против чего мы
боремся, против чего высказывались, в частности и Армен Рустамян, и Галуст Саакян, и
сейчас я, это то, чтобы в турецком и азербайджанском обществе армянин представлялся как
враг, более того - как потенциальный субъект для надругательств. Когда нас перестанут
воспринимать так, естественно, изменится и наше отношение. Но нельзя требовать, чтобы
мы первыми поменяли свое отношение. Первый шаг к примирению всегда должен сделать
тот, кто совершил преступление, кто первым напал. Об этом речь, а вовсе не о каких-то
расистских подходах. Обратите внимание: у армян нет ненависти к тюркским народам, у нас
прекрасные отношения со среднеазиатскими мусульманскими народами. Мы высоко ценим
их культуру, их вклад в мировую цивилизацию. Сокровища Самарканда, Бухары, кстати,
создавались также гением армянских мастеров. И несмотря на то что полчища Тамерлана
камня на камне на оставили в Армении, расизма по отношению к узбекам это не породило. Я
думаю, все сегодняшние разговоры о расизме проистекают от неграмотности.
- Действительно, вот уж не думали, что придется говорить о том, что мы не расисты,
расисты не мы...
- В Армении учится множество студентов из ближневосточных, средневосточных
государств. Каких-либо расистских проявлений по отношению к ним нет. Сейчас в Армении
уже несколько десятков беженцев, попросивших вид на жительство, из Восточной Африки...
Могу напомнить и сюжет из "Скрытой камеры", когда парень-актер представлялся на улицах
Еревана азербайджанцем, отставшим от делегации, и спрашивал дорогу у прохожих.
Никакой враждебности, ни одного оскорбительного слова в его адрес не прозвучало.
Прохожие с готовностью подсказывали направление. Можете представить, чтобы в Баку,
при царящих там настроениях, кто-то представился бы армянином, отставшим от делегации?
Так его урыли бы в ближайшем подъезде. - Почему, на ваш взгляд, при Ильхаме Алиеве эти
настроения особенно ужесточились? - Я предсказывал это. Когда в Азербайджане
развернулась предвыборная кампания, власть, оппозиция стали соревноваться между собой
в антиармянских настроениях. Тогда и возрос резко "градус" антиармянских высказываний
милитаристского толка. Ничем другим ни власть, ни оппозиция перед своим народом
похвастаться не могли... - Нефтепровод и блага от него - в будущем... - Борьба с коррупцией
- в туманной дали. Элементарный вопрос: они говорят о миллионе беженцев (на самом деле
их намного меньше, хотя число все равно значительное). Если бы этих беженцев расселили в
квартиры, отнятые у армян, вопрос, конечно бы, сам по себе решился. Но поскольку эти
квартиры были в основном хорошие, их заняла азербайджанская элита. Причем не только
алиевская, еще и эльчибеевская, оппозиционная на сегодня. То есть азербайджанская элита
унаследовала то, что отняли у армян, ни граммом, ни центом, ни крошкой не поделившись с
этими несчастными людьми. Но объяснить-то беженцам что-то надо. Поэтому во время
предвыборной кампании антиармянские лозунги, истерия становятся стержнем любого
политического выступления. Обе стороны, пытаясь перещеголять друг друга в
армянофобии, надавали массу обещаний, то есть нагрузили сами себя багажом, от которого
нелегко теперь избавиться. Результатом такой интенсивной пропаганды и промывки мозгов
Welcome to East View Page 3 of 4
file:///C:/Users/abclemen/AppData/Local/Temp/18/Temp1_eastview-download-16244870... 6/23/2021
и явилось будапештское зверское убийство. Но это одно проявление. А представьте себе,
сколько душ сейчас полыхает этим огнем ненависти внутри Азербайджана. В этом плане
Ильхаму, если бы он даже унаследовал крупицу мудрости своего отца, которому все-таки
удалось найти в себе силу воли остановить кровопролитие и не дать ему возобновиться в
течение десяти лет, не дали бы вести себя иначе. Ни его окружение, ни общество не
позволили бы. Ожесточение общества и связанное с этим ужесточение официальной
позиции - налицо. Мы должны считаться с этим и не делать непродуманных заявлений,
которые могут быть использованы против нас.
- В этом контексте какой у вас прогноз? - Мы должны работать в двух направлениях. Первое
- это симметричный ответ Азербайджану. Когда соседи говорят о 20 процентах территорий и
миллионе беженцев, мы должны показать, что из себя представляют эти территории. У нас
есть чем ответить на правовом, юридическом уровне, на уровне моральном,
общечеловеческом. Помимо этого, мы должны бороться за демократизацию Азербайджана.
Странно, но это входит в нашу задачу. Мы должны постоянно обращать внимание мира на
то, что происходит в азербайджанской пропаганде, прессе. Это - задача наших
общественных, правозащитных организаций, а не "ловля ведьм" на собственной родине.
По сути столкнулись общества, существующие в различных временных пластах. Армения,
конечно, еще не в XXI веке, но она по крайней мере в XX. В Азербайджане еще
трайболистское общество, тогда как армянское общество, хоть и с трудом, но искренне
пытается интегрироваться в Европу. В этом плане мы на разных ступенях развития. Жить в
братском единстве в этой ситуации невозможно. Ведь никто и никогда не пытался
принудить общества, находящиеся на разных цивилизационных уровнях, к совместному
"проживанию". ...Думаю, маловероятно, что в ближайшее время Азербайджан пойдет на
прямой военный конфликт. Хотя, конечно, ни один из сценариев нельзя исключать. Нам же
следует серьезно готовиться к новым дипломатическим баталиям. Вот они уж точно
неизбежны.

Is Armenia seeking peace?
by Azerbaijan Society of America
ARMENIAN DEPUTY PARLIAMENT SPEAKER FEELS PRIDE OF KILLING 25,000 AZERIS.
The article-interview with Deputy Speaker of Armenian parliament (National Assembly) Vahan Hovanessian,
published in Armenia's Russian-language newspaper "Novoye Vremya" ("The New Time"), reveals the true nature of
"peaceful intentions" of Armenian government. (The text of the interview is given below.) Of particular interest is the
following quote from the Deputy Speaker: "I am proud that in the Karabakh war we killed 25,000 Azeris and only
5,000 Armenians were killed."
Setting aside the speculations over casualties on either side of Karabakh conflict, as well as lack of knowledge
thereoff in Mr. Hovanessian's statement, we shall concentrate our attention on important admissions made by this
high-ranking Armenian official. Continuing further, "I am proud that my friends and I took part in that war", Mr.
Hovanessian not only admits the direct participation of himself and the Republic of Armenia in aggression and
occupation of Azerbaijani lands, but also feels pride for the killing and ruining the lives of thousands of innocent
people. This is contrary to official policy of the Republic of Armenia, that Karabakh conflict is over so called "right of
Karabakh Armenians for self-determination", and the occupied Azerbaijani lands are the territories "captured for
buffer zone" or, even worse, "liberated" strictly by Karabakh self-defense forces.
Even more amusing is another statement by Mr. Hovanessian: "Racism has never existed in Armenian society".
Reading this, combined with a recent statement by Armenian Deputy Defense Minister that "the murder is
characteristic of the entire Azerbaijani nation" (Arminfo), and an infamous quote of the President of Armenia, Robert
Kocharyan, about the "ethnic incompatibility of Azerbaijanis and Armenians", we shall question Mr. Hovanessian's
understanding of the word "racism".
Furthermore, Mr. Hovanessian, who feels pride of killing 25,000 Azerbaijan is, claims: " ... we should fight for
democratization in Azerbaijan". It shall be reminded to Mr. Hovanessian that the fundamental human right (an
element of democracy) is the one which he feels proud to have abused. Especially considering that this number of
25,000 Azerbaijani victims, includes 600+ Azerbaijani women, elderly and children, murdered with extreme brutality
in now erased town of Khojaly. The graphic pictures of beheaded elders, blinded children and burned women of
Khojaly, massacred by proud Armenian ethnic cleansing "heroes" such as Mr. Hovanessian, seriously doubt his
intentions about democracy in Azerbaijan.
In light of this and other similar statements from Armenian government officials, Azerbaijani people highly doubt the
sincerity of peaceful intentions expressed by Armenian government. As a representative of Azerbaijani-American
community, Azerbaijan Society of America (ASA) calls for attention of international organizations seeking resolution
to Karabakh conflict to racist statements of Armenian officials and the policy of aggresssion and ethnic cleansing
pursued by Armenian government. Only a just solution to conflict, eliminating the illegal occupation of Azerbaijani
lands, ensuring the return of Azerbaijani refugees to their homes while preserving the rights of Azerbaijani citizens
of Armenian origin, can contribute to lasting peace and security in the region.
Azerbaijan Society of America is the oldest and leading nationwide non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing
knowledge about the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani people, their culture and history.

Text of the interview with Vahan Hovanessian, published in "Novoye Vremya" newspaper on March 16, 2004:
It is strange but we should fight for democracy in Azerbaijan
by Naira Manucharova
Novoye Vremya, Yerevan (in Russian)
Recently our politicians and public figures have been making loud statements concerning the nationalistic,
chauvinistic and racist ideas being propagated in Armenia. Stemming from these statements, anti-Azerbaijani
passions are being inflamed in the country: a particular case - the murder of an Armenian officer in Budapest - is
being globalized and the official assessment is casting a "shadow" on the whole Azerbaijani nation. To what extent
are such statements authorized? The deputy speaker of the National Assembly, Vahan Hovanessian, comments on
this and other problems.
Democratic development hampered by stress on style over substance
Vahan Hovanessian The statements made by some politicians and public organizations should be assessed in two
ways. First, they are trying to create the impression for the world community (allegedly favourable for Armenia) that
there are very democratic institutions here, whose activity meets European and Western standards and perceptions
of democratic values, and that they are priorities in public opinion. The second aspect of these statements is more
transparent and is evidence of an incomplete understanding of such ideas as nationalism, chauvinism and racism.
And here we are coming up to a revision of a philosophical issue, how correct a form of the fight for democracy has
our society chosen? Unfortunately, the development of democracy on CIS territory and, in particular, in the South
Caucasus region has proceeded in a crippled way.
Those who teach us democracy, mainly Western and European organizations, focus on its external display. This
applies as much to Armenia as to Georgia and Azerbaijan. Just superficial displays are taken into account. For
example, they monitor in detail the way in which ballots are put into ballot boxes ... The scrupulous, almost
microscopic, study of the external side of democracy leads to dissonance. Society starts fighting for the provision of
these external signs, while the substance of democracy goes to the back burner and is very often forgotten.
For this reason, when, for example, explaining what the free press is, few people are interested in what this free
press is publishing. Western organizations pay great attention to retention of political prisoners in Azerbaijani
prisons, the breaking up of opposition demonstrations by the police, but they absolutely ignore the fact that for
many years hatred of the Armenian nation has been accumulating in Azerbaijani society. What is written in
Azerbaijani newspapers may not be considered a sign of a free society. But this is not taken into account, this is
taken into account only if a newspaper or TV channel is closed or their rights are violated. Just because of this
dissonance some of our officials think it their duty to make absurd statements about Armenian chauvinism and
racism.
Armenians cannot at present live alongside Azerbaijanis
Novoye Vremya correspondent It is known that these statements call for political restraint as well as refer to the
"unacceptable" statements of the officials of the country and members of the governing coalition ...
Hovanessian As for the official assessment of the incident in Budapest, I am absolutely sure that in their statements
Armen Rustamyan and Galust Saakyan, as well as the president of the country, refer to the incident's very serious
political consequences. All of us were speaking of this and the president spoke out in the most precise way: "What
happened in Budapest shows that in the foreseeable future there can be no talk of Armenians and Azeris living side
by side." That is, we are making political conclusions, speaking about the substance of democracy. Let us imagine
that there was no conflict in 1988 and refugees from both sides remained in their places. Let us imagine for a
moment that Armenians remained in Sumgait Sumqayit and Baku and participated in the presidential elections of
2003. If the Azerbaijani police were beating their compatriots so severely, what would happen to the Armenians if
they tried to express their own viewpoint, which differed from the "central" one, or if they had their own candidate
for president? It is evident that we would be annihilated, not as political opponents but as an ethnic group, not by
means of batons but axes.
From the pseudo-democratic statements of some domestic functionaries an ill-wisher may make a direct and very
dangerous conclusion for Armenia: if we do not complain about the behaviour of Azeris, ordinary people or the elite,
in that case there are no factors to prevent Karabakh being within Azerbaijan. Armenian civil society seems to
support that idea. But who returns Karabakh? If not the people, in that case the authorities. In fact by means of
such statements former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan's idea about the party of war that allegedly came to power in
Armenia, is supported. But there is still danger: as it is impossible to imagine that somebody in Karabakh shares this
viewpoint, but the viewpoint exists in Armenia, in that case one more wedge is driven between Armenia and
Karabakh.
Hovanessian proud of Karabakh victory
But if we put aside the political prism and try to assess this from the human and civilian point of view, in that case
people who let themselves make such statements, make us ashamed of our victory. But I cannot and do not want to
be ashamed of it. I am proud that in 1915 my people resisted the Turks and Kurds, who were carrying out genocide,
and while dying took such a big number of enemies with them that till today they say that representatives of their
peoples were also killed. I am proud of those Dashnak teams which in 1918 in Baku did not let another genocide be
carried out. I am proud that the Dashnaks are still hated and feared in Azerbaijan. I am proud of those refugees who
were leaving Baku fighting and resisting. I have a relative who defended himself by shooting and in this way
managed to take his mother to Georgia.
Correspondent In that case you are a nationalist ... ?
Hovanessian Of course I am. I am proud that in the Karabakh war we killed 25,000 Azeris and only 5,000 Armenians
were killed. I am proud that my friends and I took part in that war. And my son is also proud of this. And if they
again start the war, they should know that the score will be the same. And I am not proud of this secretly at night, I
am openly proud of this. I think there is nothing shameful in it. It is in this way that any nation is educated. There is
already no time when they could kill us unarmed and defenceless.
No racism in Armenian society.
Correspondent To what extent does the definition of "Armenian racism" correspond to the generally accepted
definition?
Hovanessian Racism has never existed in Armenian society, in the same way that it did not exist in our neighbouring
countries - Byzantium and the Arab caliphate. Racism is a later idea.
Armenians do not consider the Azeris and even the Turks as racists. They understand very well, and it is historically
proved, that if a little Azerbaijani or Turk is educated in a healthy and normal society, in that case he will not hate
Armenians. There is not an Armenophobe gene. Armenophobia is not a gene but upbringing. And Armen Rustamyan
and Galust Saakyan and I are fighting for an Armenian not to be presented in Turkish and Azerbaijani society as an
enemy and a potential subject for outrage. When they stop considering us in this way, then our attitude will also
change. But one cannot demand that we be the first to change our attitude. Whoever committed a crime should
always make the first step to reconciliation.
Passage omitted: Armenians do not hate Turkic nations; they have good relations with the Middle East, Muslim
nations.
Budapest murder result of "brain-washing" in Azerbaijan
Correspondent Why has this mood worsened during Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's tenure?
Hovanessian I was predicting this. When the election campaign started in Azerbaijan, the authorities and opposition
started competing with each other in anti-Armenian moods. At that time the "level" of anti-Armenian military
expressions raised sharply. Neither the authorities nor the opposition could boast of anything else ...
Correspondent The oil pipeline and its goods lie in the future.
Hovanessian The fight against corruption is in the lacklustre distance. An elementary problem: they talk about one
million refugees (in reality there are fewer, but their number is big). If they settled those refugees in flats taken
from Armenians, the problem would be settled. But as those flats were mainly good ones, the Azerbaijani elite
occupied them, not only Aliyev's elite but also late President Abulfaz Elcibay Elchibey's, which is in opposition today.
That is, the Azerbaijani elite inherited what they took away from the Armenians and did not share this with these
unfortunate people. But they have to say something to these people. For this reason during an election campaign
anti-Armenian slogans and hysteria become the core of any political speech. The brutal killing in Budapest was the
result of this intensive propaganda and brain-washing. But this is one display. Imagine how many people in
Azerbaijan have such hatred. In this sense Ilham would not be allowed to behave in any other way, even if he
inherited a little of the wisdom of his father, who managed to find the will within himself to stop the bloodshed and
not to start it for 10 years. The bitterness of society and the increasing severity of the official position are obvious.
We should take this into account and not make ill-considered statements which may be used against us.
Armenia must prepare for diplomatic war
Correspondent What is your prediction in this context?
Hovanessian We should act in two areas. First is a symmetrical answer to Azerbaijan. When our neighbours speak
about 20 per cent of their territory and one million refugees, we must show what those territories are. We can
answer this at the legal, judicial and moral level, common to all mankind. Moreover, we should fight for the
democratization of Azerbaijan. It is strange, but this is our task. We should always draw the world's attention to
what is taking place in Azerbaijani propaganda, the press. This is a task for our public, human rights organizations,
but not a "witch-hunt" in their native land.
In fact, two societies existing in different time layers, have clashed. Of course Armenia is not yet in the 21 century,
but it is at least in the 20 century. In Azerbaijan a tribal society exists, whereas Armenian society, though with
difficulty, is trying to integrate into Europe. In this sense we are at different stages of development. In this situation
it is impossible to live in brotherly unity. Nobody has ever tried to force societies that are at different levels of
civilization to live together.
I think it is not likely that in the near future Azerbaijan will go for a direct military conflict. Though no scenario
should be ruled out. We should prepare seriously for new diplomatic fights. They are really inevitable.

Decapitation of private Sloyan by the Azerbaijani is what ICIS would do, according to Aziz Tamoyan
23:24, April 5, 2016
there is no difference between them. They do not belong on Earth,” Aziz Tamoyan told
Armenpress.
Chairman of the Yazidi Union of Armenia Aziz Tamoyan has emphasized that he is proud of Kyaram Sloyan adding
that Armenia’s Yazidis are prepared to stand with their Armenian brothers to defend the Armenian land. “Nagorno-
Karabakh is a historically Armenian land; Azerbaijan’s actions are without ground. Like other CIS countries, NKR
has self-determined in a similar fashion and has been developing successfully,” Tamoyan said before informing that
over 100 Yazidis were currently serving in the Armenian Armed Forces and dozens of volunteers had signed up to
defend NKR.
On the night of April 2, across the entire line of contact between Azerbaijan and NKR, the enemy engaged in blatant
attacks using, among types of weapons, artillery, armor, and air forces. In addition to combat on the frontline, the
enemy artillery delivered strikes at peaceful settlements. According to AO NKR intelligence, approximately at 08:30,
Vaginak Tatulovich Grirorian was killed, and two children wounded in the direction of Martuni defense positions as
a result of the bombardment from a Grad system. Subsequently, four wounded civilians were brought to the
Stepanakert hospital. On April 3, news emerged about a grisly murder of three civilians in Talish who had not been
able to flee. The Armenian losses are as follows: equipment, 7 tanks; personnel, 29 KIA, 28 MIA, 101 wounded. Five
individuals, including two rural community leaders died as a bus was subjected to an artillery attack.
Owing to timely and professional actions taken by the Defense Army of Nagorno-Karabakh, the situation was brought
under control and significant damaged was inflicted on the enemy. Altogether, in the course of hostilities that
commenced on the night of April 1 and ended late on April 5, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces lost 300 personnel.
Enemy losses as of April 6; equipment, 24 tanks, 3 APCs, engineering equipment, 1 unit, 2 helicopters, 7 UAVs, 1
MM 21 rocket artillery unit. As estimated by AO NKR leadership, the enemy lost in excess of 300 personnel. The
number of wounded is being clarified. At noon on April 5, the fire at the contact line was discontinued based on a
bilateral agreement.

Tamoyan has described
decapitation of private
Sloyan by Azerbaijanis
as an extreme
manifestation of
antihumanism, which is
typical of actions taken
by ICIS terrorists. “This
style is inherent in
radical Islamists, their
inhuman behavior, they
are wild animals.

GASPARIAN URGES DEMONSTRATING ARMENIA’S MILITARY
STRENGTH
[…]
The Chief of General Staff of Armenia’s Armed Forces has informed that the Defense
Army units have inflicted significant losses on the enemy, thus successfully derailing
Baku’s plans.
YEREVAN, September 27 – Sputnik. Chief of Armenia’s Armed Forces General Staff
Lieutenant-General Onik Gasparian has made an appeal to his subordinates and called for the
strength of the Armenian Armed Forces to be demonstrated.
“It is time once again to demonstrate the Armenian military might. Our freedom and
independence, which we have won at the cost of the lives and blood of the best sons of the
people, are once again under threat,” he noted.
Gasparian has noted that, inspired by multi-pronged assistance from Turkey, Azerbaijan would
not put up with its devastating defeats during the 2016 hostilities in Karabakh and in the North-
Eastern sector in July 2020, has once again started a war. He went on to say that, along the entire
perimeter of the frontline, had been delivering artillery and air strikes, while bombarding
population centers. However, Defense Army units, having inflicted significant losses on the
enemies, were successfully foiling all of Baku’s plans.
[…]
14 January 2021 Chief of General Staff of Armenia’s Armed Forces Makes Appeal
He urged all Generals, sergeants, officers, privates, and his fellow soldiers to honorably perform
the mission of defending the Fatherland, relying on their might, ignoring the threat and the
enemy, fighting with unlimited dedication and self-sacrifice.
“The time has come to demonstrate the strength of the spirit, the might of the strike and endless
hatred towards nomadic remnants of a cave tribe devoid of any sense of patriotism. You are
soldiers of a valiant army who have accomplished glorious victories. Let us be worthy of the
honor of being Armenians and bearing Armenian arms. Our cause is just. We are defending the
sacred land of our forefathers, the Armenian home, our honor and the right of our nation to live
in a free country,” Gasparian emphasized.
As a reminder, early on September 27, Azerbaijan commenced heavy artillery fire against
population centers in Karabakh, including its capital city of Stepanakert, mounting an attack
along the entire line. As of now, the enemy has lost two helicopters, three tanks, and 14 UAVs as
well as sustaining personnel casualties.
President of Nagorno-Karabakh Araik Arutyunian has, too, delivered an address to the nation.
The President has assured that the Armed Forces were firmly holding their positions and that the
response to the aggression would be proportionate.

https://ru.armeniasputnik.am/society/20200927/24618390/Prishlo-vremya-p…… 1/3
Глава Генштаба ВС Армении сообщил, что подразделения Армии обороны, нанеся противнику
значительные потери, успешно проваливают планы Баку.
ЕРЕВАН, 27 сен – Sputnik. Глава Генерального штаба ВС Армении генерал-лейтенант Оник Гаспарян обратился к своим
подчиненным и призвал продемонстрировать силу армянской армии.
"Пришло время еще раз продемонстрировать армянскую военную силу. Наша свобода и независимость, которую мы
завоевали ценой жизни и крови лучших сынов народа, вновь под угрозой", - отметил он.
Гаспарян отметил, что Азербайджан, воодушевившись, разносторонним содействием со стороны Турции, не смирился с
разгромными поражениями в боевых действиях в апреле 2016 года в Карабахе и в июле 2020 в северо-восточном
направлении и вновь развязал войну. Он добавил, что по всему периметру передовой Азербайджан наносит
артиллерийские и авиационные удары, параллельно обстреливая населенные пункты. Однако подразделения Армии
обороны, нанеся противнику значительные потери, успешно срывают все планы Баку.
Агрессия Азербайджана была заранее спланирована – Пашинян>>

"Хотят войны – получат войну":
президент Карабаха выступил с
призывом к народу
Он призвал всех генералов, сержантов, офицеров, солдат и своих боевых
товарищей с честью выполнять миссию защитника Отечества, уповая на
свою мощь, игнорируя угрозу и врага, сражаясь с беспредельной
преданностью и самоотверженностью.
"Пришло время показать силу духа, мощь удара и бесконечную ненависть
в отношении кочевых, лишенных чувства патриотизма остатков
пещерного племени. Вы солдаты доблестной армии, одержавшие
славные победы. Будем достойны чести быть армянами и носить
армянское оружие. Наше дело правое. Мы защищаем священную землю
наших дедов, Армянский дом, нашу честь и право нашего народа жить в
свободной стране", - подчеркнул Гаспарян.
Напомним, рано утром 27
сентября Азербайджан
начал интенсивный
артобстрел населенных
пунктов в Карабахе, в том
числе и столицы
Степанакерта, перейдя в
наступление вдоль всей
линии. К настоящему
моменту известно о потере
противником двух
вертолетов, трех танков и
14 беспилотников. У
противника также потери в
живой силе.
С обращением к народу уже выступил президент Нагорного Карабаха Араик Арутюнян. Президент заверил –
вооруженные силы твердо стоят на своих позициях, а ответ на агрессию будет соразмерным.

HUMANITARIAN MINE ACTION FOR SAFE RECONSTRUCTION
AND RETURN OF IDPS TO THE CONFLICT AFFECTED
TERRITORIES OF AZERBAIJAN (2021)
(PAGES 2–6)
MINE ACTION AGENCY OF
THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN
Assistance Required for the Republic of Azerbaijan
in Humanitarian Mine Action for Safe Reconstruction and
Return of IDPs to the Conflict Affected Territories of
Azerbaijan
2021
1. Background on land mine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination
in Azerbaijan.
The indiscriminate and socio-economically devastating problem posed by land mines and explosive
remnants of war (ERW) in Azerbaijan is the result of military occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan
from 1991 until 2020. The trilateral statement signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia
on 10 November 2020, announced an end to all military activities between Armenia and Azerbaijan
accompanied by series of humanitarian and economic measures.
The situation is aggravated by the fact that mined are not only defense positions along the former
confrontation line but also agriculture fields, graveyards, gardens and other areas of social and economic
utility in th,e liberated territories of Azerbaijan. Non-release by Armenia of the information on the
locations of minefields further complicates demining and causes additional human losses.
Since the triilateral statement of IO November 2020 signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Russia and
Armenia 13 Azerbaijani citizens have been killed and 25 citizens have been seriously wounded / disabled
as of25 Ap1ril 2021, as a result of mine explosions in the recently liberated territories. Since 1992, the
number of killed or disabled by mines and explosive remnants of war amounts to approximately 3666.
Due to mass:ive contamination, IDPs who were forcibly displaced from the liberated territories because
of war in the beginning of 1990s cannot return to their homes. Such contamination also seriously impedes
the realization of rehabilitation and reconstruction works by the Government of Azerbaijan.
The explosive ordnance contamination consists of a wide range of anti-tank mines, anti-personnel mines,
rockets, missiles and artillery projectiles, as well as cluster munitions. There are also unconfirmed reports
of the use of incendiary munitions and IED's (booby trapped houses).
During the 44-day war, ballistic missiles, unguided artillery rockets, and large-calibre artillery projectiles
were indiscriminately used against densely populated areas of Azerbaijan. Human Rights Watch
documented four attacks with cluster munitions in three districts of Azerbaijan. These attacks on
Azerbaijani residential areas killed 101 civilians, including children, women, and elderly, 423 civi.lians
have been hospitalized with serious injuries and 3,410 houses were destroyed or damaged.
Due to the size and complexity of the survey and clearance task, the Azerbaijani Government
acknowledg,ed a need for international Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) assistance and had
subsequently asked for the UN assistance. As a first response to the request from the Government of
Azerbaijan, UN deployed an inter-agency humanitarian mine action assessment team to Azerbaijan from
10th
- 16th December 2020. The assessment team consisted of Steinar Essen - UNDP (team leader), Mark
Connelly (UNMAS team leader) and Rani Jobara (UNMAS security advisor). UNICEF, as the UN lead
agency on Explosive Ordnance (EO) risk education, was part of the planning process, and was consulted
during the visit although they couldn't unfortunately participate on the actual mission.
The assessment team reviewed existing data, undertook semi-structured meetings with various ANAMA
senior management staff, and undertook a four-day field visit, including a half-day planning workshop
with ANAMA key operational staff. Tn addition, the team met with various key stakeholders such as
IDP's, police/army staff in the regained districts, met virtually with ICRC, UNICEF, EC, UN CO, UK
and had physical meetings with the ANAMA Director and a representative of the Council of Ministers.
Final filed mission assessment report was produced that reflects findings, challenges, and
2
recommendations on effective ways of addressing existing challeng􀁙s. The report is available under the
title "Mine Action Assessment Mission to Azerbaijan. l 0-16 December, 2020"
This report describes the current situation with landmines and explosive remnants of war contamination
to enable int,emational partners, including OSCE to render more targeted and needed assistance.
2. Damagt! (demographic damage (statistics of the dead and injured, indicating the
number of women and children)
Since 1992 till April 2021, 1090 civilians killed and or disabled by mines and explosive remnants of war.
In total 55 children killed and 362 injured, IO women killed and 151 injured, and 512 men killed and
2576 injured!. In total 577 people were killed, and 3089 people were injured by explosive legacy of war.

4. Ongoin1􀀢 and/or anticipated risk of harm to civilian population and damages to
socio-economic and other infrastructure from on-cleared explosive hazards
A detailed t,:1.ble in the previous section describes the damaged and destroyed urban and rural areas,
civilian objects, infrastructure, and natural resources that were under the control of Armenia's armed
forces for almost 3 decades. At present, Survey activities are underway to measure the extent of the
contamination. The map below shows the multi-year former line of contact (LOC) in wide red colour.
The width of the LOC is approximately 5-7 km and length is close to 300km. The former LOC is closest
area to the densely populated regions of Azerbaijan. That's the reason why the most civilian mine
incidents happened on the red zone. The war affected territory has a complicated history with mines and
used or abandoned munitions. All the liberated regions Terter, Fuzuli, Jebrail, Zangilan, Qubadli,
Agdam, Khojavend, Khojali, Shusha, Lachin, Kelbajar, have the military positions with patterned mine
lines, randomly placed minesand scattered munitions.

5. Contamination by levels
(Low- contamination, Medium - contamination, High - contamination)
As the geneiral and technical survey processes in the liberated areas are still ongoing, it is not possible
yet to determine the exact extent ofEO contamination. However, according to the estimates from reached
mine lines, based on mine incidents, information from Azerbaijani armed forces etc.,
Liberated territories 1 I 784 sq.km (1 178 400 ha)
Territories where Russia's peacekeepers are temporarily
3 058,5 sq.km (305 850 ha)
deployed to
Territories controlled by Azerbaijan 8 725,5 sq.km (872 550 ha)
Confinned Hazardous Areas. High contamination 1 605 sq.km (160 500 ha)
Suspected Hazardous Areas Medium contamination 2 848.2 sq.km (284 820 ha)
and battle fields Low contamination 4 272.3 sq.km (427 230 ha)
The informati.on below is the extract from the UNDP Mine Action Assessment Mission Report.
10-16 December, 2020
5.1 High Tbtreat Areas
I. Confrontmtion line
Rough estimate confirmed during field trips with evidence seen on the ground identify traditional military
doctrine barrier defences. These barrier defences include tank ditches, large berms, and barbed wire
entanglements and several rows of both Anti-tank (AT) and Anti-Personnel (AP) mines. The evidence
seen along the confrontation line gives an estimate to consider up to a depth of approximately 5 km of
the line as High threat that will take considerable time/ money and resources to clear.
2. Access to capitols.
There are currently few safe access roads that have been swept, through the confrontation lines allowing
access to the capitols. The verges of the access roads remain uncleared in many areas and will remain
unsafe until fully assessed and cleared.
3. Defensive frontage around the capitol
With troops accommodated in the capitols, military doctrine commits to a defensive position allowing
troops to fight from protected positions. The areas that fall under the defensive positions to the "front"
of the capitols should also be considered as high risk until assessed and cleared. In addition to the high
threat areas observed during the field visit, the below should also be considered high threat areas;
4. Strategic military points
Ammunition depot, communication points and key points occupied by the fast retreat of Annenian troops
will need sp1ecial attention, including temporary bases, main roads taken by the retreating troops, bridges
etc.

However, they want to give the

an insignificant part was returned.
A significant part was returned,
but only a portion was returned.

Sworn to and subscribed before me
From an interview with Vova Vartanov dated 2017 (sic):
Commander of the first sabotage and reconnaissance detachment Vova Vartanov suggests eliminating
Azerbaijan.
Vartanov informed at a May 15 press-conference that Azerbaijan lacked weaponry adequate to Armenia’s.
“Prior to 1991, there were no arms at all. As of 1991, Azerbaijan received a great deal more as USSR
inheritance than Armenia did,” Vartanov believes.
We have always been armed worse. The imbalance persists during to their petrodollars. It will remain because
the Turks are richer. I suggest liquidating that state, disjoin it,” Vartanov stated. As a first order of priority, he
suggests preparing his society for an attack, train the Army. “99% of the wargames should be conducted on
land resembling Azerbaijani territory, languages must be learned, and preparation conducted to work in their
territory. When the society is ready, they will behave more quietly,” Vartanov stated.
“The principal weapons are the brains. Our advantage currently is the motivation. Turks, too, are good fighters.
But we have the motivation as we have nowhere to run. And we are dealing with barbarians. That is why we
are forced to be heroic,” Vartanov believes.
What changed in 2021?
We now have even more motivation to become strong and achieve the above goal. Will we succeed? If we
were to channel our efforts in the right direction and have a well-trained 200,00 strong reserve army, the goal
will be achieved.
We are inviting you to the May camp in Armenia on May 1-10.

CERTIFICATION
Baku, Azerbaijan
This is to certify that the attached translation is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a true and
accurate translation from Armenian into English of the Facebook posts of an Armenian paramilitary
organisation, "VOMA" concerning (1) a speech of the aforementioned organisation's
leader, veteran of the First Karabakh War, Vladimir Vartanov, on the importance of militarisation
of Armenians, on "Greater Armenia" and portrayal of Karabakh as a part thereof, published on
March 3, 2021; (2) the demonisation of Azerbaijan and Turkey as terrorist states, published on
May 21, 2021; and (3) the organisation's public call for joining its military training camps,
published on September 17, 2021.
Aydin Baghirov, expert in the Armenian language
Affirmed by
.e for Strategic Communications
1) We constantly forget that we are not the owners of the little Armenia, but the Greater Armenia.
And now the Turks take advantage of what was taken and stolen from us. And we foolishly comply
with it.
If we can form a militant population in Artsakh Autonomous Republic and Armenia, and if we can
make Artsakh an indivisible part of Armenia, then we can find many, including Russian
peacekeepers, to help us.
2) False Muslims, wolf worshipping terrorist states, in a sense, conduct destructive and invasive
policies towards all its neighbours. Armenia is a civil outpost in the South Caucasus and the Near
East, and despite its wounds, it struggles for the sake of Christendom’s future with other Muslim
nations.
Armenia might and shall transform into a fortress state and an all-army nation. Yes, dearest
brothers, we are destined to be as such. Self-organisation, preparation and military-engineering of
the citizens must be carried out in all Armenian territory.
SQS carries on its activities. Join in both with physical and financial support. www.voma.am
Let us organise educational trainings in Yerevan and in the provinces (with volunteers and active
people in reserves). www.voms.center
Let us start building fortifications in your living spaces (let us forge invincible and insuperable
areas). www.voma.am

3) We do not prepare for war by quarreling within, and we hope that Russia, the USA, France or
other “aliens” will save us from defeat.
Why are we subjected to the third historical demise of the kingdom of Hayk’s sons.
VOMA is a venue which guides us to the spirit of fight by uniting and makes us Hayk’s sons again.
In Hankavan, on September 17-26.
Get ready, wake up and get united.

Our recent post about successful training sessions at the VOMA branch in the city of Sisian has become
popular and not just with Armenians.
Cis-Caspian Turks are once again alarmed by our activities. Read their story and see for yourselves.
They ask themselves: “Is Armenia really surrounded by enemies?”
We respond: Yes, Armenia is surrounded by 2 hostile entities that call themselves “states”. One of them,
euphoric from a fake “victory” and yet to appreciate the entire bitterness of it, openly lays claims to the
remaining part of Armenia, naturally without its original residents.
They ask themselves:
“Armenia has run out of men. Do they want to send children with arms in hands to the border?”
We respond: Despite “neighbors” like you, Armenia exists only thanks to the Fatherland’s courageous sons
who have always fought for Armenia’s freedom and security. You must resign yourselves to the fact that you
will never be able to defeat Armenians, Armenia.
Our children have been studying the art of war willingly. They have come to understand despite their young
age that they will only be able to secure their families’ and their Motherland’s safety by relying on themselves
and their weapons. Because you, Osman and Cis-Caspian Turks, only understand the language of strength.
History has taught us that.
One last thing, if you so much enjoy watching our activities.
Do not doubt for a moment that the war has ended. Politicians come and go and oil (and, therefore, money),
too, has an innate quality of running out some day. And we are actively preparing for war. Both young and old.
Our thoughts are not about taking revenge but about building a strong Armenia to fight which, you will find,
isn’t worth it. And we are confidently moving towards that goal.
Continue to keep watch and observe. You are only giving us motivation.
Dear Armenians, we would like to address you and invite you to a VOMA military camp in Armenia on
May 1-10.

Turks have taken our organization and me to court. This only shows that they are afraid not of us
but of the idea that we seek to implement.
They are afraid that we will become A NATION, AN ARMY, while ARMENIA WILL
BECOME A FORTRESS. It is dangerous for them.
When we have made sure that both old people, women, young people and children will have the
skills to make war and are armed to the max, we will be able to wear them down with acts of
sabotage to the point where, one day, the Baku khanate will disintegrate into 10 small khanates!

WORK DONE BY VOMA IN MAY AND PLANS FOR
JUNE
Dear brothers and sisters,
In April, approximately $17,000 was remitted to us via the site and 500,000 rubles wired to
Sberbank, and about $30,000 in May. Receipts virtually doubled, something we are very happy
about and we are driven to work.
The bulk of work in May was performed due to the April and March remittances. The entire
amount received in May will be spent on June programs.
TRAINING – CAMP
#ArmyNation
On May 1-10, in Bjni, we conducted a
training camp where at all times we had at
least 80 individuals in attendance but
occasionally up to 200. Up to 30 army
conscripts underwent training; future
instructors from the village[s] of Khachik,
Charentsavan, Gyumri, Goris, and also
reservists, volunteers, and ordinary citizens
from Armenia and the diaspora.
THE EXPENSES AMOUNTED TO
APPROXIMATELY $7,000

THE WORK OF THE VOMA
MOUNTAIN RIFLE BATTALION
#ArmyNation
Immediately after the training camp, events
occurred in Syunik and Vardenis and a
decision was made to send a group of
observers in order to evaluate the situation in
the field and help the Armed Forces. Twelve
personnel (artillery reconnaissance, snipers)
spent almost 2 weeks in Ishkhanasar,
virtually completely funded by the
organization. Ten sleeping bags, binoculars,
and other special equipment were handed
over to militia members. The VOMA team
did its work in close cooperation with the
Armed Forces and received a commendation
by the command.
THE EXPENSES AMOUNTED TO
APPROXIMATELY $2,000
ENGINEERING WORKS
#CountryFortress
Upon return of the group from Syunik, a 100-
strong team of volunteers was gathered to
build engineer installations. We conducted
work in the villages of Verin Sher and
Khoznavar. Three special equipment [units]
were ordered but only one arrived and
operated. Therefore, we have been building
fire nests for militia members for these
villages but the work has not been completed
https://www.voma.center/D184D0B8D0BDD0B0D0BDD181D0B8D180D0BED0B2D0B0D0B… 4
yet. Trenches were dug out and positions
need to be equipped and camouflaged.
All the work was performed in close
interaction with local self-government
authorities and at their initiative. THE
EXPENSES AMOUNTED TO
APPROXIMATELY $1,300.
