GUARDIAN: "Nagorno-Karabakh: thousands escape to Armenia after Azerbaijani offensive" / Armenian Prime Minister says ethnic Armenians in disputed enclave face danger of ethnic cleansing. Genocide is being committed: Armenians protest after Nagorno-Karabakh violence – video Almost 5,000 ethnic Armenians have crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh after last week’s Azerbaijani military offensive in the disputed region, which left hundreds of people dead, wounded or missing. Armenia’s PM, Nikol Pashinyan, said in a live address: “Our government will lovingly welcome our brothers and sisters from Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh still face the danger of ethnic cleansing. Humanitarian supplies have arrived in Nagorno-Karabakh in recent days but this does not change the situation. If real living conditions are not created for the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh in their homes, and effective mechanisms of protection against ethnic cleansing, then the likelihood is increasing that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh will see expulsion from their homeland as the only way out.” The Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh were forced into submission after a 24-hour military operation by the much-larger Azerbaijani military; with Russian Peacekeepers failing to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the region. Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars over the enclave in 30 years – with Azerbaijan regaining swathes of territory in and around Nagorno-Karabakh in a six-week conflict in 2020. Hence it is imperative that International Peacekeepers - in particular the United Nations - uphold and protect Armenia’s democracy, sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and Human Rights. It should also be noted, that Luis Moreno Ocampo, a former ICC chief prosecutor, stated it is obvious what is happening is ethnic cleansing, saying that the legal description is called Genocide. Hence President Ilham Aliyev and President Recep Erdoğan must immediately restore International Human Rights Law (IHRL) in Nagorno-Karabakh; otherwise an intervention by the NGO Community will be necessary. Also, both Mr. Ilham Aliyev and Mr. Recep Erdoğan must be brought to Justice for war crimes; if they refuse to stop their inhuman war on the People of Armenia, and restore the UDHR and UNCRC.

Hence leaders of both countries - Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev and Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan - must immediately stop the violence in region, as there is no military solution to the conflict and a compromise is imperative!Both Armenia and Azerbaijan need to improve peace efforts and reach a compromise; so that the suffering of innocent civilians and children can stop and fundamental human rights can be restored in the region."Russia and Turkey’s foreign ministers have agreed to the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, opening the door to a possible end to fighting in the breakaway region."This is certainly a step in the right direction. So hopefully a true and lasting peace can be ensured soon, so that all ethnic groups in the region can live in peace and harmony with each other."Russia offers to host Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire talks" / The Kremlin said Putin’s initiative followed a series of calls with the Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, and the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev."Trench warfare, drones and cowering civilians: on the ground in Nagorno-Karabakh" / The battle over Nagorno-Karabakh, waged on and off for a century, has flared anew and civilians once again suffer the consequences So we strongly encourage the Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, and the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev to stop the fighting and start Peace Talks!Otherwise an intervention by the NGO sector will be necessary, so that the suffering of innocent civilians and children can finally stop in the region."Ceasefire deal in Nagorno-Karabakh" / The ceasefire was announced on Sunday in a joint statement from the US State Department and the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan.It comes after US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, met the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington, and a meeting of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, formed to mediate the conflict and led by France, Russia and the US."Armenia says assassination attempt on prime minister thwarted" / Over 2,000 soldiers killed in nearly two months of clashes with Azerbaijan; at least 143 civilians confirmed dead in fighting The former head of Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) Artur Vanetsyan was arrested on Saturday on charges of plotting to kill Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and seize power “The suspects were planning to illegally usurp power by murdering the prime minister and there were already potential candidates being discussed to replace him,” the NSS said in a statement, according to the Reuters news agency So hopefully now the peace deal can be implemented in the region; so that political stability, civilian infrastructure and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be restored in Armenia and Azerbaijan."Trench warfare, drones and cowering civilians: on the ground in Nagorno-Karabakh"The battle over Nagorno-Karabakh, waged on and off for a century, has flared anew and civilians once again suffer the consequences "Nagorno-Karabakh: Azerbaijan troops begin retaking land from Armenia" / Military moves into first of districts handed over under Russia-brokered peace deal FAZ: "Bewohner in Nagornyj Karabach zünden ihre Häuser an" / Aserbaidschan übergibt Leichen "Putin warns Armenia backing out of Nagorno-Karabakh deal would be 'suicidal' " / Putin says any move to leave Russian-backed ceasefire with Azerbaijan would be huge mistake So it is very important that President Putin treats civilians on both sides fairly; especially as tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians are being subjected to forced displacement in Nagorno-Karabakh."Human rights groups detail 'war crimes' in Nagorno-Karabakh" / Amnesty and Human Rights Watch release reports showing evidence of beheadings, torture and other abuse Amnesty International said it had digitally verified videos showing decapitations and the desecration of corpses, although it stopped short of identifying many of the victims or the circumstances of their deaths The NGO Human Rights Watch released a report documenting how Azerbaijani forces had subjected Armenian prisoners of war to physical abuse and humiliation These blatant human rights violations are in clear violation of international humanitarian law, and therefore must stop immediately!Organisations and individuals responsible for commiting these blatant human rights violations - which include the deliberate intention to cause harm, humiliation and torture to victims - need to be charged, convicted and punished.To manifest peace in the region, it is also very important that Turkish president - Recep Tayyip Erdoğan - stops fueling hostilities and hatred between the two countries!In a speech, Mr. Erdoğan indicated that he would continue to press his territorial ambitions in the region. So these kind of hostile actions are counterproductive and must stop immediately.So all parties concerned in this process of peacebuilding in Nagorno-Karabakh should be logical and reasonable; in this very emotional and complex process of finding a viable solution in the region.It is also important to emphasise, that rule of law and judicial independence must prevail in the region - as well as the entire Caucasus - so that peace and prosperity can finally be manifested.The Guardian: " ‘What if someone buried my son?’ Anguish of search for Armenia’s war dead" / Overwhelmed labs struggle to process DNA tests after Nagorno-Karabakh war leaves 5,000 dead Eight months after the end of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh that left more than 5,000 people dead, many soldiers are still missing.In Armenia, families are desperately looking for news about their loved ones. There is a growing lack of trust around DNA tests and a lack of information, leading to mounting pressure on the government.Hence the International Community - in particular the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan - must make a greater effort to provide families with proper and truthful information and forensic evidence about their loved ones to give them a sense of closure.THE INSIDER: "Blood Simple. Several Russian journalists and activists were poisoned in Europe" / "Russian military destroys over 1300 schools in Ukraine UNICEF reports" / CNN: "Opinion: Putin Trump and a remarkable split-screen moment in world history"GUARDIAN: "Twenty years of ruthlessness: how Russia has silenced Putin’s opponents" / NOVAYA GAZETA: "Instead to kill they make you ill.” Former OPCW lab head on the new wave of poisonings of Russian activists and journalists abroad.It should also be noted that the borders of both Ukraine and Russia have been internationally recognized and defined in 1991 - with Russia's First President Boris Yeltsin recognizing Ukraine's independence. Hence Russia should honour this agreement.We encourage the Russian People to implement a governmental change and bring Vladimir Putin to Justice - so that International Law can be restored.
