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.
4/5 Armenians have been able to live in 🇹🇷, be citizens of that country and maintain ties with 🇦🇲.
The Minister of Economy of 🇦🇲 recently said in our interview that in 2022, the trade turnover between 🇦🇲 and 🇹🇷 was a record 320million dollars.

5/5 🇹🇷 should find the strength within itself to get rid of 🇦🇿's pressures, make a polit decision to open the border, establish dip relations. Having a difficult history should not condemn 🇦🇲-🇹🇷 to have a difficult future. Hopefully, we will see some progress after the May elects

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․
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 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.
2/7 There are no casualties. Agricultural works have been stopped. The villagers told Azatutyun r/s that the Azerbaijanis were not deterred by the presence of Russian "peacekeepers". The Russians were present in the vineyards, but 🇦🇿 fired from large-caliber machine guns.
3/7 Three days ago, Azerbaijan fired shots at people working in the vineyards of #Chartar in the #Martuni region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Agricultural works have not yet resumed in a part of the vineyards of Chartar.
The armed forces of Azerbaijan are hundreds of meters away.
#Lavrov said in 🇦🇿 that only people, humanitarian goods should be transported through the #LachinCorridor. He said that the installation of any checkpoint is not being considered there, but so that #Azerbaijan does not have any doubts about mines, they can install technical means
By technical means, Lavrov means the installation of scanners at the checkpoint of Russian peacekeepers.Lavrov's words mean that 🇷🇺 agrees with 🇦🇿 to change the statement of Nov 9, where Putin did not write about installing technical means, #Armenia did not agree to such a matter
No matter how much #Azerbaijan and #Russia discuss the issue of placing scanners, they cannot implement it without the agreement of 🇦🇲. Because that would mean the collapse of the arch. of the Nov 9, the loss of 🇷🇺's influence over 🇦🇲 in the process of resolving the NK conflict.
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.
1/2 In those years, Azerbaijan received 67.2% of its imported weapons from Russia and #Belarus, which are declared allies of Armenia. During the same period, Azerbaijan imported only 2.9% of its ammunition from #Turkey.
