1/10 This is shamelessness on the part of #Putin's criminal regime. The #Kremlin openly threatens #Armenia not to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. An information source of the Russian FM told the #Russian state media TASS․
#Russia #Lavrov #Yerevan

2/10 TASS source: "#Moscow considers absolutely unacceptable the plans of official #Yerevan to join the #RomeStatute of the International Criminal Court against the background of the latest illegal orders of the #ICC against the Russian leadership."
3/10 Lavrov's employee also told TASS that the Armenian side was warned about "extremely negative consequences for bilateral relations in case of possible moves by Yerevan".
It is obvious that this news was dictated to TASS by Maria Zakharov, or Lavrov himself.

1/5 The head coach of the #Turkish national team, Stefan Kunts, said that they were well received in #Armenia, for which he thanked.
The Turkish team won, but the #Armenian team played well. They could have won.

2/5 I think that the Armenian and Turkish peoples can communicate more in the fields of #sports, #art, #humanitarian, #business.
In this way, the Armenian and Turkish peoples, who have a difficult history, will gradually restore their trust.

3/5 Only then can the states of 🇦🇲-🇹🇷 have a peaceful, cooperative future. About 70,000 Armenians live in 🇹🇷, who are the descendants of Armenians who survived the #Genocide. 🇦🇲 has been independent for 32 years, 🇹🇷 closed the border, but there was active trade during these yrs.
1/5 The armed forces of Azerbaijan went to provocation in #NagornoKarabakh. On March 25, they violated the line of contact in the Shushi-Lisagor section and occupied the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

2/5 The government of #Karabakh expects the peacekeeping forces of the #Russia to take steps to eliminate the #Azerbaijani violation. For days, 🇦🇿 has been spreading the lie that ammunition is being transported from 🇦🇲 to NK via the Stepanakert-Ghaibalishen-Lisagor mountain road.
3/5 It was a false pretext in order to carry out this provocation. Karabakh announced that, being surrounded for more than 100 days, this mountain road is being used to communicate with 4 villages of Stepanakert, Shushi regions.
Today, Sergey Lavrov visited #Russia's faithful ally #Azerbaijan. #Putin really supported #Aliyev in arming the army and winning the war against #Armenia and #NagornoKarabakh.

1/1 According to the #Stockholm-based International Peace Institute, #CSTO members Russia and Belarus are the first and third countries that supplied offensive weapons to Azerbaijan during the period of 2011-2020.
Soon will be presented the book of the #Armenia's 3rd President #SerzhSargsyan - "On the Frontline of Negotiations". I'm not aware of what he wrote, but I know for sure that the obvious pro-Russian forces of 🇦🇲 do not forgive Sargsyan for signing the #SEPA with the #EU. #Yerevan
And in 2018, 7 days before his resignation, the #RepublicanParty of Armenia, led by him ratified the document with the #EU. In 2018, under severe threats from #Russia, Serzh Sargsyan founded the #EurasianEconomicUnion with #Putin.
However, due to active work, in November 2017, Armenia signed the #SEPA with the #EuropeanUnion. In 2013, Serzh Sargsyan made a big mistake, but in the end, he saved a chance for Armenia to go into deep cooperation with the #West after him.
Today, actions are taking place all over the world against the war, against Putin and in support of A.Navalny

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! #Russian President #Putin took part in the session of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (#CSTO) in #Yerevan. The main goal of participation in the summit for Putin was to keep the CSTO at least until November 2023.

In this context, the President of #Russia turned to the President of #Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart #Tokayev, and the President of #Armenia, Nikol #Pashinyan. #Putin asked the leaders of Kazakhstan and Armenia not to suspend their membership in the #CSTO until November next year.

It is already known that Tokayev promised to "think" and "take note" of #Putin’s request, while #Pashinyan left the request unanswered. The #CSTO summit in #Yerevan was for Putin one of the most difficult political events in which he took part this year.

Two questions - can they set it at a level which can hold and damage the Kremlin, and can they get all members to agree to it.

Old #Yerevan. Now destroyed by #ArmenianVandalism
If only armenians had preserved the Old City of #Yerevan, it would benefit civilization so much. Too bad they didn't want any turkic/muslim heritage present in their capital...
Out of dozens of mosques in Yerevan alone only one, Blue Mosque, was spared.

#ThisDay Sep 16, 1976, #Armenia'n finswimmer, Shavarsh Karapetyan saved the lives of 20 people in the #Yerevan Lake incident, when suddenly a trolleybus crashed into it. While most watched in horror, Karapetyan sprang into action. He had one goal: save as many people as possible.
The trolleybus lay at the bottom of the reservoir some 25 metres (80 ft) offshore at a depth of 10 metres (33 ft). Karapetyan swam to it and, despite conditions of almost zero visibility, due to the silt rising from the bottom, broke the back window with his legs.
The trolleybus was crowded, it carried 92 passengers, Karapetyan started bringing people up from the bottom of the lake, to his waiting brother. The combined effect of multiple lacerations from glass shards led to Karapetyan's hospitalization for 45 days.
It's Day 203 of the war. #Russia's inhuman, unprovoked, not to mention illegal war in #Ukraine.

A thread about French-Armenian resistance leader, #ArmenianGenocide survivor, poet, activist, French #ArmenianHero MissakManouchian 🧵⤵️🇫🇷🇦🇲
1. A talk with @SilvanDiepen reminded me about this amazing WWII personality, a hero, a refugee, a romantic, a poet, an intellectual, a resistance leader who sacrificed his life for his new homeland #France. This poster in popular Envalides Miltry museum in Paris is how I met him
2. In 1925 Missak moved to France from an orphanage in #Lebanon, where he ended fleeing from the #ArmenianGenocide. He was active in communist Armenian literary circles. During World War II he was the leader of a significant resistance group consisting of European immigrants...

Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has warned Europeans about Turkey in view of the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. "I expect a clear position.
If the international community does not correctly assess the geopolitical significance of this situation, Europe should soon expect Turkey near Vienna," Pashinyan told the "@BILD". After a hundred years, Turkey returned to the South Caucasus
"in order to continue the genocide of the Armenians that took place in Turkey in autumn 1915," Pashinyan said. At the same time he accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of an imperialist policy. This extends much further than in the South Caucasus.
