#Armenia decided to widen the conflict with #Azerbaijan with a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice #ICJ. It is actually good for Azerbaijan. It is also a non-starter that will backfire on Armenia for these reasons:

1) Armenia does this on behalf of itself and a nonexistent separatist entity it created to confuse world community and minimize responsibility by the name of "Republic of artsakh". It's not serious to do this in a serious venue. ICJ is for recognized legitimate nation-states.
2) Armenia illegally militarily occupied Azerbaijan for 29 years, since 1991. It killed 25,000 Azerbaijani civilians, it ethnically cleansed 800,000 Azerbaijanis & Kurds, it destroyed their homes and infrastructure, it mined everything and stole and demolished cultural heritage.
3) #Azerbaijan will finally counter-sue after talking about it for 20 years. And Azerbaijanis, being real victims, have a much stronger foundation for claims of not just discrimination, but damages that are quantifiable and greater than #Armenia's by several orders of magnitude.
