Armenia – March 8 2022


Azerbaijan is deliberately escalating the situation by opening fire at the cemetery of the village of Khramort in Artsakh’s Askeran region and killing a soldier on the border with Armenia, Artsakh State Minister Artak Beglaryan said on Tuesday.

According to Beglaryan, the provocations are primarily aimed at intimidating the Armenian population.

At the same time, Baku’s attempts to discredit Russian peacekeepers deployed in Artsakh are obvious, he stated.

“The unprecedented Russophobic propaganda in the Azerbaijani media lately testifies to this,” Beglaryan wrote on Telegram.

“Russophobia is added to Azerbaijan’s long-running state-sponsored policy of Armenophobia, which is, incidentally, against its military ally,” the minister noted.

According to him, it once again indicates the workstyle of the Azerbaijani authorities to achieve geopolitical goals by planting hatred against other nations and distracting its people’s attention from domestic issues.

“One day, Azerbaijan will drown in its own hatred,” Beglaryan said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
