On March 30, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously adopted a resolution titled “Prevention of Genocide,” presented by the Republic of Armenia during its 61st session.
The biennial resolution is grounded in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and plays a significant role in translating the Convention’s provisions into the operational framework of United Nations policies.
The resolution aims to advance the concept of early warning in genocide prevention and to define a framework of risk factors, including hate speech, discrimination, and impunity. It also underscores the importance of timely response, which can be critical in preventing the escalation of violence.
By placing genocide prevention firmly on the international agenda, the resolution highlights the issue as a key priority in contemporary diplomacy. It contributes to strengthening international justice mechanisms and addresses emerging global developments and challenges that require increased attention.
This year’s resolution also proposes reinforcing the mandate for genocide prevention within the context of the “UN80” reform process, while drawing attention to the risks posed by algorithmic systems and artificial intelligence. It warns that such technologies may facilitate the spread of disinformation and hate, potentially undermining human rights and distorting information flows.
In addition, the resolution supports efforts toward the universal ratification of the Genocide Convention, encouraging states that have not yet joined to do so without delay.
As in previous years, Armenia’s resolution has garnered broad support from UN member states across all regional groups. This is reflected in the high number of co-sponsors, which had already reached around sixty at the time of adoption.
The resolution reaffirms Armenia’s call on the international community to unite in preventing the crime of genocide worldwide.
Note: A previous resolution on the same topic, also introduced by Armenia, was unanimously adopted on April 3, 2024, during the 55th session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Gevorg Papoyan published inflated data on the export of goods of Armenian orig
Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan announced a significant increase in the export of goods of Armenian origin, but the study of the data shows a different picture. A significant part of that growth was formed at the expense of jewelry, which is highly controversial to present as a product of Armenian origin. In that list we also see mobile phones, in the event that there is no production of phones in Armenia. All this exaggerates the indicators of products of Armenian origin and creates a misleading picture of the state of the economy, “Hetq” writes.
On February 5, Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan posted on his Facebook page reported in a post that in 2025, about 4.5 billion dollars worth of products of Armenian origin were exported from Armenia. Compared to 2024, it increased by around 10%, and compared to 2021, by 72%.
The methodology of calculating the export of products of Armenian origin is already controversial (which we will mention below), but we decided to get more detailed information from the Ministry of Economy about what products we are talking about.
It turns out that in 2025, about 4.Of the 5 billion dollars of “Armenian origin” products, 1 billion dollars are only jewelry.
The problem is that it is too big a volume for Armenia and it is highly doubtful whether there are enough factories and specialists in Armenia to produce so many products.
After the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, a large amount of Russian gold is being re-exported through Armenia, including in the form of jewelry. The fact that it is a re-export is proven by the fact that after 2022, the gold imported from Russia to Armenia has increased sharply, and the export of gold and jewelry from Armenia to the UAE and Hong Kong has also increased sharply.
For example, in 2021, with which Papoyan also compares, only $75 million worth of jewelry was exported from Armenia, according to the Statistical Committee. Therefore, how likely is such a “miracle” in Armenia’s jewelry industry that after four years the export of “local” jewelry will exceed 1 billion dollars?
“Hetq” has written about it several times.
- Seychelles, Cyprus, Russia. The origin of jewelry “produced” and exported in Armenia
- Gold streams. Russian gold worth billions of dollars is exported from Armenia
By the way, as a result of this dubious growth of the jewelry industry, the image of the industry has also been artificially inflated.
- The factory connected to Sukiasyans has changed its mind: it is not engaged in jewelry, but in the production of base metals
In 2025, most of the “jewelry” was exported to the United Arab Emirates, the rest mainly to Hong Kong.
This directly shows that Gevorg Papoyan published inflated data on the export of goods of Armenian origin. And, if we exclude jewelry and a few more product groups, such as mobile phones, it will be clear that the growth of exports of local products is much more modest.
Even if we consider jewelry as a product of local origin, talking about general growth and not presenting which products caused this can also mislead the public.
In 2024, in the list of “goods of Armenian origin” to be exported, jewelry occupies a large place. According to the Ministry of Economy, local products worth about 4.1 billion dollars were exported in the mentioned year, of which 0.9 billion dollars ($858 million) or 21% were jewelry items.

168: “Spoofing exes” as a political shield no longer works
March: 29, 2026
Why is the government trying to scare again with the old ones?
As the elections are approaching, the rumors about the looting of the former have been activated again. At one time, they came to power by exploiting the loot of their predecessors. They want to deceive the people this time too. They forgot that the times when they said whatever they wanted and the people accepted it instead of melted oil, have long passed.
For 8 years, they have been playing the same disc about the looting of the former, but the looting is not coming back. Instead, their loot comes to the surface. They have been busy looting the budget for eight years. The former would even dream of emptying the budget in such professional ways. After that, they hope that people will believe in the fairy tales woven by the former about the looting. Especially since they don’t see the return of that loot, and even more so, they don’t feel the result.
Meanwhile, at one time Nikol Pashinyan invented so many lies about the astronomical loot of his predecessors that people believed him and after bringing him to power, they hoped that he would return the loot of his predecessors and divide them. In eight years, not only did they not get a share of the loot, but they also did not see where the return of the loot was.
They have been talking about some billions for years, but the returned amounts are small.
In five years, the Department of Illegal Property Confiscation of the General Prosecutor’s Office brought back property and money equivalent to only 14.5 million dollars within the framework of illegal property confiscations.
Summarizing the works of the Department for the period of 2020-2025, we should note that within the framework of the authority to confiscate property of illegal origin, with 1 legally effective judgment and 9 reconciliation agreements, 9 immovable properties with an average market value of 4 billion 411 million 112 thousand 500 drams, 2 movable properties with an average market value of 26 million have been confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia. 100 thousand drams and 1 billion 13 million 281 thousand drams.
Thus, only within the framework of the Prosecutor’s Office’s authority to confiscate property of illegal origin, 5 billion 450 million 494 thousand 148 drams worth of property and money, which is equivalent to about 14 million 464 thousand US dollars, were confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia,” the General Prosecutor’s Office recorded in the expanded session of the panel held in early March.
This is all. And since the return of property of illegal origin, outside of the propaganda bubble, they failed, which is what their published data speaks of, they decided to save the situation in another way, they went back to 2018.
But that was not salvation either. It was another manipulation by which they tried to deceive the citizens.
“Indicators of properties and funds returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia and communities in 2018-2025 through criminal proceedings, cases completed in courts, claims and settlements for the protection of state and community interests, prosecutorial intervention measures, and also from 2023, as a result of the use of the tools for the confiscation of property of illegal origin, were analyzed in the prosecutor’s office.
According to these indicators, during the years 2018-2025, around 291 billion 726 million drams (about 773 million dollars) of property and money were returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia and its communities, of which 65.8 percent or about 193 billion drams (about 504 million dollars) of property and money were returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia in 2023-2025. in order to dispel the sad moods, a few days later they published such a statement.
Against the background of regularly circulating announcements about the widespread and astronomical “loot”, the return of 773 million in 8 years, admit it, is a small amount. Especially, most of it is property, which they calculated in drams using their known methods and got such a number.
But that’s not the whole joke. What is being said about the recovery of the damage done to the state and communities has always happened. Even before the Communists came to power, damages amounting to billions of drams were being repaired annually. Do not create the impression that this is the case only now.
It is a process that is part of the work of the prosecutor’s office, and nothing unusual happened in this regard. The restoration of property and monetary damages of 773 million dollars is a common phenomenon. It is only about restoring the damage caused to the state as a result of law violations. Another thing is that now they only see the “illegalities and looting” of the former, they don’t see their own or they don’t want to see it.
They don’t see it, they think that the people don’t see it either.
They rob the state budget day in and day out. They decide that they will be given 20-25 thousand and sometimes up to 30 thousand dollars in bonuses at the expense of the budget.
Only with additional bonuses or incentives, more than 21 million dollars were distributed to government officials within 3 months. Individual officials received amounts up to 45-50 thousand dollars in 2 rounds during those 3 months.
This is not looting of state funds, what is it, whatever name they call it? It makes no difference how public funds are looted.
The calculation of the gratuity distributed under today’s rulers has long since been lost. But we are definitely talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.
They have created laws convenient for them in order to rob state funds.
They are talking about the looting of the former. In 8 years, almost 1.2 billion dollars were withdrawn from the state budget to solve the issues of their apartments. Instead of one, sometimes they bought several apartments at the expense of the state.
Isn’t it looting when the funds of the state budget are squandered left and right, and no one, including the law enforcement agencies, tries to get their hands on it? We are talking about misuse and waste of billions. They don’t see their looting, before the elections they have started playing the disc about the looting of the previous ones, which has been repeated a thousand times, and they are trying to frighten them with the return of the former “looters”. They do not understand that they can no longer deceive the people with this. They have long passed the previous ones, and if the people have reason to be wary, they should be wary of them first of all.

On June 7, Pashinyan must leave, the leadership of Armenia for him for the third time
March: 29, 2026
Vardan Oskanyan writes: “If you still have any doubt that trusting Pashinyan to lead Armenia for the third time, who has already brought it to the most unfavorable position in this complex region, could seriously endanger Armenia’s existence, just try to read the analyzes of regional developments. Without that, of course, there are dozens of undeniable and well-founded reasons to make it clear that Pashinyan should leave on June 7.
Starting from breaking the negotiations with Azerbaijan and inciting a war, from losing it catastrophically, to the complete emptying and loss of Nagorno Karabakh. Add to this the continuous disruption of Armenia’s territorial integrity, as Azerbaijan still occupies and may still occupy different parts of the country, as well as the disruption of the Constitution, the delegitimization of the judicial system, and the consistent restriction of civil rights and freedom of speech.
Among Pashinyan’s “achievements” are the deep division of society, turning the state system into a joke, abuse of the budget, pressures on the Armenian Apostolic Church, growing alienation of the diaspora, and in the background of all this, the decline of Armenia’s reputation. The list can be continued for a long time.
But especially today, when a war is unfolding in Iran, in Armenia’s immediate neighborhood, and now in the entire Middle East, one more weighty reason is added for Pashinyan to leave.
Whatever the outcome of this war, the region will not be the same by June 8. The attitude and expectations of the involved players towards the countries of this region will not be the same either. Very difficult times await us. And Pashinyan has clearly shown that he is not the person who can lead Armenia even in much more stable and calm times, such as 2018-2020.
Over the past eight years, he has shown profound ignorance and incompetence in almost every area. We made a mistake in 2018 by entrusting the leadership of the country to him. We made the second mistake by reproducing him in 2021. We have no right to make the third mistake.
Pashinyan must leave on June 7. The case of the head of Armenia, in the situation created by his own cause and in a complex region independent of him, is not his own. As experience has shown, it never happened.”

One who will resist the temptation to be proclaimed King on Palm Sunday and be ready
March: 29, 2026
The one who will resist the temptation to be proclaimed king on Palm Sunday and will be ready with all his being to bear the path of Charcharanats crucifixion, he will also reach the VICTORY OF THE RESURRECTION. Bagrat Srbazan’s new letter from prison
“Blessed is the coming in the name of the Lord…
Palm Sunday is the wonderful and glorious entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. It is a wonderful opportunity for us individually, personally and collectively to blossom, to renew, to open our hearts as a spiritual Jerusalem for the sanctifying entry and dwelling of the Lord.
You know, however, that Palm Sunday is followed by the Great or Charcharanats (suffering) week: denial, betrayal, false trial, crucifixion, but ultimately Resurrection and Victory.
However, it would be more correct to say that Palm Sunday precedes Charcharanats council, which is also a reflection of our life. life is not only Palm Sunday, and not only Charcharanats council, but the one who will resist the temptation to be proclaimed king on Palm Sunday and will be ready with all his being to bear the road of Charcharanats crucifixion, he will also reach the VICTORY OF RESURRECTION.
Our Lord’s way was and is, and ours is a choice to follow that way or not.
May the blessing of our Lord be with you all, dear ones, with the Flowering of our lives and the dwelling of Jesus in our hearts and the guidance and grace to guide our lives.
Remember, Palm Sunday is the bitter way to reach the VICTORY OF THE RESURRECTION by way of crucifixion, and that
VICTORY HAS NO OTHER CHOICE…”
With love and prayers

The last days of Joseph Stalin’s life. exceptional detail of health conditions and treatment
March: 29, 2026
On March 1, 1953, Joseph Stalin was at his country house in Kuntsevo, Moscow region. On the same day, he was found by the security guard Lozgachyov, lying on the ground in the small dining room. The next day, on the morning of March 2, doctors arrived at the summer house.
On March 4, Stalin’s illness was officially announced. Information about his health was regularly broadcast on the radio.
The information mentioned the symptoms of Stalin’s illness: loss of consciousness, stroke, paralysis of the body and other complications. In the same period, newspapers throughout the Soviet Union began reporting details of Stalin’s illness, health, and treatment on a daily basis. Even local newspapers in Soviet Armenia, regardless of their content, were flooded with news about Stalin’s health. The Soviet Armenian press reported all the details related to Stalin.
“In 1953 On the night of March 2, I. V. “Stalin suffered a sudden hemorrhage in the brain, which involved vital parts of the brain, resulting in paralysis of the right leg and right arm, with loss of consciousness and the ability to speak.” (“Soviet studentship”, 1953, N 10).
After the event that took place on March 2, Stalin’s health condition as of March 4 was already mentioned in detail. Newspapers literally wrote all the details.
“During March 4, medical measures were taken to introduce oxygen, give camphor preparations, caffeine, strophantin and glucose. A second time, blood was taken using leeches. In connection with high temperature and high leukocytosis, penicillin treatment is intensified. On the night of March 5, I. V. Stalin’s health condition remains critical. The patient is in a state of soporosis (deep anesthesia). Her nervous regulation of breathing as well as her heart remain severely impaired.” (Ibid.).
“At around 2 o’clock in the night of March 4, I. V. Stalin’s health condition remains critical. There are significant breathing disorders, the rate of breathing is up to 36 per minute, the rhythm of breathing is irregular with regular long pauses. There is an increased pulse rate up to 120 beats per minute, complete arrhythmia, the maximum blood pressure is 220, the minimum is 120.” (Ibid.).
After all these details, newspapers are already writing about Stalin’s death. Apart from that, full articles are already being published about how Stalin’s health began to deteriorate, how he was during those few days. The preliminary, official version of death and the complete medical conclusion are also written.
“Medical conclusion of I. V. About Stalin’s illness and death
On the night of March 2nd, I. V. Stalin suffered a cerebral hemorrhage (in his left hemisphere) due to hypertension and arteriosclerosis. This resulted in paralysis of the right half of the body and permanent loss of consciousness.
On the very first day of the disease, signs of breathing disorders due to the disturbance of the function of the nervous centers were found. These violations increased day by day, they had the character of so-called periodic breathing with long pauses (Cheyne-Stokes breathing). On the night of March 3rd, respiratory disturbances began to take on a threatening character from time to time.
Significant changes in the cardiovascular system were also detected from the very beginning of the disease, namely, high blood pressure, frequent and irregular pulse rhythm (radiating arrhythmia) and heart enlargement. In connection with the growing disorders of breathing and blood circulation, signs of oxygen deficiency appeared already on March 3. From the first day of the illness, the temperature increased and high leukocytosis began to be observed, which could indicate the development of foci of inflammation in the lungs.
On the last day of the illness, along with a severe deterioration of the general condition, repeated attacks of severe acute cardiovascular failure (collapse) began. The electrocardiographic examination revealed an acute blood circulation disorder in the coronary vessels of the heart with the formation of focal lesions of the myocardium.
In the second half of the afternoon on March 5, the patient’s condition began to deteriorate particularly quickly, breathing became shallow and very frequent, the pulse rate reached 140-150 beats per minute, the bleeding of the pulse dropped. 50 minutes after 21:00, as a result of increasing cardiovascular and respiratory failure phenomena, I.V. Stalin is dead.” (“Soviet studentship”, 1953, N 10).
Stalin’s death was officially announced on the radio on the morning of March 6, 1953. March 6-9 is declared mourning. The funeral takes place on March 9. Stalin is buried in the Kremlin Wall Pantheon.

Revaz was my uncle. The real story and trial of “We are our mountains” by Armen Sar
March: 29, 2026
“First of all, a specialist should be a material collector,” he is sure philologist, literary critic, senior researcher of the folklore department of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, Doctor of Philological Sciences Armen Sargsyan.
– Mr. Sargsyan, you studied at Yerevan State University, Faculty of Philology. How did you choose your profession?
– Simply, we read a lot. imagine, I have been reading Hovhannes Tumanyan since the 2nd grade. I was also registered in the library. At that time, to be honest, there were neither any philological things in me, nor was there a guide. My father was a craftsman, my mother a villager. My knowledge was mostly acquired. From my parents, of course, by blood, from my mother, I took the most essential, the proverbial grace, and honesty, purity from my father. In short, the family has given a lot. I was 9 months old when we moved to Tiflis, but we were living in a Georgian district, my mother did not adapt, we moved to Vanadzor. Since I was reading, they thought that I should definitely study higher, so I took it and submitted my work to the Faculty of History, because history has been my essence. However, I was left out of the competition by one point. In the second year, they convinced me to go to the Vanadzor Polytechnic Institute with your hard work. they came to my mind, I started studying mathematics for 4-5 months, but I felt that it was not mine. You have to love. And I left it and this time I decided to apply to the Faculty of Philology because I didn’t want to work as a teacher, but now I miss it… I taught everywhere.
From the very first year, the professors assigned an essay… I got four or five, but there were people who made 5 mistakes in two sentences. It seemed to me that I sat in someone else’s place, and I wanted to do something… my inner historian was speaking. I had neither the gift of writing nor journalism, so I decided to seriously engage in folklore.
In the very first semester, I read a report about the comparative character of Little Mher from “Sasna Trees” among all the stories. It turned out to be something exceptional. By the way, let me tell you that my thesis was about the survival of proverbs, angry Jrbashyan, Tamrazyan, Mkryan – those greats – shouted that this is the topic of a candidate’s thesis, change the title quickly, they won’t accept it at the top. The topic was very complicated.
Then I took the proverbs from the works of Sevak, Hrant Matevosyan, and compared them with Aram Ghanalanyan’s “Proverbs”. By the way, my diploma was followed by Ghanalanyan, who said in his house: “I wish someone would continue my work.” I kept my head down.
– Are new proverbs created in our time?
– Of course they are created. In the 1930s, new proverbs were forced to be created in connection with the kolkhoz, but they did not spread among the people. Some proverbs were somehow transformed, rearranged in accordance with the thinking of the time and the people. When I went on a business trip to Estonia, they asked if we have a collection of proverbs published, I responded positively, showing “Proverbs”. They went and brought their 5-6 volumes of proverbs and put them on my table. I was amazed. They said that we have included all versions of Estonian proverbs. I bowed before those people, the people. They were small, but they held each other tightly. I came back, I tried several times to start the multi-volume collection of Armenian folk proverbs, unfortunately, they did not want to meet.
– In which regions of RA are new proverbs and sayings born?
– In the course of centuries, they get diluted, condensed, gain new strength. “School Proverb” will be ready soon. 4-5 people also wrote school proverbs, to put it mildly, unsuccessfully. There are such things that children do not need. An example is the word bribe, they write. “Bribery brings light to a dark place.” Are you directing a schoolboy to fall into a dark place, to get out with a bribe?
I even wrote out proverbs from fairy tales.
He says: “The sheep of a wise shepherd are more fortunate than the people of a foolish king.” The people of Lori have this proverb, which I recorded in the late 1970s: “Sacrifice both the life of the literate and the life of the illiterate, run away from the semi-literate.” Another one: “Position is a phalanx, one is removed from one’s head, another is placed on another”, and there is a continuation among the people of Lorraine. “Do it like this: after taking the blanket, the person underneath remains.” The proverbs are exceptional: educating, guiding.
– Did you encounter difficulties while doing field work?
– I was employed at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences at the age of 57. Kalantaryan, the director, took my workbook, looked, there was no place… By saying moment, moment, he was browsing. I have worked everywhere. It was in my favor. Wherever I worked, I tried to be useful both to myself and to the people. I have 52 tape recordings. Wherever I was, I had a pen in my hand, and if possible, I recorded. While working at the scientific-methodical center of the House of People’s Creativity, I had contact with archival materials, and I organized the entire archive.
The folklore archive was going back and forth, I organized it. They were the manuscripts of our gusans, hermits, Sheram, Havasu, and others. In the end, I felt that these materials would be lost, stolen, trampled, I moved everything to the National Archives, it was saved.
– You have recently published a book in which you refer to your birthplace, Shamut.
– After my heart surgery, I decided to fulfill my soul’s duty. I had lived in my birthplace for 9 months, and I decided to return my debt of 9 months. 18 clans with family trees, ethnography, folklore are presented. I recorded such ethnographic materials that were not known to ethnographers before. There are words that are not in the dictionaries of Ararat dialect, Lori dialect, but they are in the Artsakh dialect. The reason was that 10-11 families from Shamut came after 1795 and settled in settlements where there were mills and khachkars. There is a khachkar from 1315. In the 60s of the 19th century, people from different places came to this settlement and settled, and I attributed the influence of the Artsakh dialect to this.
In the last 15-20 years, the people of Lorraine have started using the words “malina” and “malinkut”. Malina is called “morut” by the people of Lorraine, malinkut is “morut”. Sometimes the Language Committee does not do what is necessary.
Let’s say, why don’t they use “forget”? They call it raspberry. The words that are radical come from ancient times. And literary Armenian is enriched at the expense of dialects. For example, we use the word “pregnant” even though the dialects have the word “tsotkovor”. That word is used by Hovhannes Shiraz, Hrant Matevosyan… Shiraz says: let the Armenian fields and fields be plowed. And pregnant is the right word. This is what the people of Artsakh say: “I’ll go and get my aunt’s daughter pregnant, I’ll come.” It is the word to accompany.
I get nervous at every step.
– What makes you nervous?
– It is annoying that starting with the Government and the National Assembly, they speak with “A”. Where did the “e” of our literary Armenian go? It’s a shame.
– Which folklore species are endangered?
– There are genres and types of folklore that have already left the scene. Today, fairy tales, myths, legends, epics are hardly created. I have also been involved in children’s folklore, published “Children’s Fun Talks” and “Children’s Laughter”. Every child presents his worldview in an original way. Let me tell you a few episodes. We celebrated my 70th birthday, my grandson went home saying that his grandfather’s birthday was very sad. When asked what was sad, he answered that there was no candle to blow out. Actually, it was a personal incident, there was no heart and passion, but I felt so bad! I tell all parents, no matter whose birthday it is, put one candle for the children to blow out, just so they don’t get sad.
Let me tell you one more thing. the other grandfather took my grandson to kindergarten, on the way home he said: let’s go in and buy a bun, the grandfather said: I’m in sports clothes, I don’t have money with me. On the next day, the grandson warns him not to forget and bring him with those clothes. He is only 5 years old.
– In the Shamut book, you included Hrant Matevosyan’s story “We Are Our Mountains”.․ what is the reality like?
– Let me tell you the background. After returning from the army, my uncle (by the way, he is the only hero whose name has been changed from Seryozha to Revaz) mother, aunt, says in the evening that the sheep are not there, look, where are they? Man goes as he comes, reaches Ahnidzor, uncle’s daughter hugs him and asks when did you come, she says in the morning, and adds that the sheep are not there. The girl says that Pavel and Ishkhan ate. He goes to them, they say that they have eaten, and now they will give him the money. They bring the saddle, load it with wheat, give something more than its value and leave. My uncle happily returns home, after 15-20 days they call the police and say, “You son of a counter-revolutionary, we took your father and shot him, do you want us to take you too?”
He says, “But what have I done?” They say, “Why did you hide the enemies of the state, why didn’t you come and tell us that your sheep were stolen?” He answers that they are neighbors, they know everyone, they even gave him double wheat. They say, well, we will judge you with them, you will know what it means to hide the enemies of the state. The trial took place in the fall of 1952, in the village of Dsegh. Each was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

Iran has announced: we are going to the end, no ceasefire. Azerbaijan, after all,
March: 29, 2026
Azerbaijan will eventually be dragged into the war against Iran if it continues, and if the Azerbaijanis are dragged into the war and they allow Iran to be struck from the territory of Azerbaijan, they will have to pay a heavy price.
This is the opinion expressed by a Norwegian political scientist, a professor at the University of Southeast Norway Glenn Dizeny with in the interview Brazilian political analyst and author Pepe Escobartalking about the double matches between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
According to Escobar, this is exactly what happened during last year’s 12-day war, but Iran did not take any retaliatory action, although it had all the evidence that the Israeli drones striking Iran’s territory were flying from Azerbaijan’s territory.
“If this happens again, Aliyev will be in serious trouble, to put it mildly. Let’s wait and see how the situation will develop. They think that this war does not concern them, but in the end, depending on the development of events, they may even benefit from this war, but for now, nothing is decided. In any case, I have received an invitation to participate in one of the conferences to be held in Baku, and I am going to accept it, because I would like to ask these questions to the people there, unless, of course, they throw me into prison,” added Pepe Escobar.
According to Glenn Diezen, many US presidents have avoided war with Iran because there were too many uncertain, unknown and uncontrollable factors, such as what would happen to Azerbaijan if it were drawn into the war. According to the Norwegian political scientist, it will change not only the European, but also the Eurasian geopolitical landscape.
“After decades of sanctions, threats and brokered attacks, Iran wants to settle all accounts and do it on its own terms. So, it was easy to start this war, but it will be very difficult to end it, because when everything is over, the world, it seems to me, will look completely different,” Dizen noted.
Pepe Escobar, for his part, added that one of Iran’s imperative demands is that there be no more sanctions against the Islamic Republic, but according to the Brazilian analyst, this is absolutely impossible, because the sanctions must be canceled by the US Congress, and this will never happen. The other demand, to pay reparations to Iran, is also extremely difficult to imagine the empire paying reparations or war fines to Iran.
“For the Iranians, it’s a matter of faith, it’s one of their three or four main points, among the demand to remove American military bases from West Asia, so the gap between the two sides is insurmountable, and there is no one who can act as a mediator. The only possible mediator could be Russia, and if we look at what Ushakov did not reveal about the telephone conversation between Trump and Putin, then there is no doubt that they touched on this topic. Putin could have told Trump. “Yes, I can be a mediator, all participants respect us.” The question is, do the Iranians want mediation? At the moment, we are hearing the same thing from the leadership of Iran, including Ayatollah Khamenei. “No, no ceasefire, no mediation. we go all the way.” This is what makes the situation so explosive,” added Pepe Escobar.
The Norwegian professor added, “this was a stupid war that should not have started in the first place.”
