Cost of Miatsum (Unification) to #Armenia

Recent political behaviours of @NikolPashinyan
which directly affected the negotiations process.

- Statement of Unification.
- Tonoyan's New war new territories doctrine.
- Moving parliament to Shusha.
- Undermining peace talks.
“Artsakh is Armenia, and that’s it,” Pashinyan said during his speech in Stepanakert, the de facto capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. The prime minister also repeatedly led the crowd in chants of “miatsum,” or “unification,” the nationalist slogan...

eurasianet.org/pashinyan-call…
“I, as the Defense Minister of #Armenia, say that the option of return of ‘territories for peace’ will no longer exist, and I have re-formulated it into ”new territories in the event of a new war,” announced Tonoyan..."

The cost of war is often unjustly distributed among the members of society - #NagornoKarabakh

#Armenian child soldier appears in this video is unacceptable. Children must be kept away from the horror of war.

"The recruitment and use of children by armed forces or armed groups is a grave violation of child rights and international humani. law".

Definition - A child associated with an armed force or armed group refers to any person below 18 years of age who is, or who has been, recruited or used by an armed force or armed group in any capacity (Paris Principles on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict) - @UNICEF
Using child soldier for military purposes must be avoided.

Excerpts from the article: Similarly, Armenia not only occupied a sixth of Azerbaijan’s territory in the war in the early 1990s but evicted 700,000 occupants of these lands. #Azerbaijan #Armenia - foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/27/rus…
But Armenia is subject to no sanctions whatsoever, mainly because Yerevan hides behind the fiction that it is not really a party to the conflict at all but that the “Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh” is.
There are two key reasons the United States should pay more attention to this problem. First, the fiction of proxies has directly caused greater instability in areas important to U.S. national interests. And second, they effectively serve to make conflict resolution impossible.
