1/11 Russia's FM #Lavrov is leaving for #Turkey in a week. Attention! In #Ankara, Lavrov will also discuss the settlement of #NagornoKarabakh with Turkish FM Cavusoglu, in addition to the topics of #Syria, #Ukraine. Zakharova announced this information today. What does it reveal?
2/ 🇷🇺 no longer hides that Karabakh is the subject of its and 🇹🇷's political trade. 🇷🇺 can concede one benefit to 🇹🇷 in the Karabakh issue, and instead receive a benefit in the directions of Syria, Ukraine. The settlement of the NK issue actually fell victim to 🇷🇺-🇹🇷 cooperation.
3/ The facts testify to that. After the Sept 2020 war, the #Russia's MoD #Shoigu announced that a successful operation was carried out with #Turkey in #Karabakh. Probably, he meant the defeat of Nagorno Karabakh. A joint Russian-Turkish monitoring center is located in #Aghdam.
4/ A few days ago, #Lavrov expressed how he sees the future of #NagornoKarabakh as part of #Azerbaijan. He cited the example of #Donbas, according to the Minsk agreements, and the model of the Serbian minority in #Kosovo.
5/ #Lavrov said that in his opinion it would be acceptable for the people of NK to have language, religion, local self-gov, other rights, special economic ties with 🇦🇲. Pro-Russian forces in 🇦🇲 have already stopped deceiving the public that 🇷🇺 will never hand over NK to 🇦🇿.
6/ Even they dare to disagree with #Lavrov. But the future is important. Recently, in a press conference with 🇦🇲FM Ararat Mirzoyan, Sergey Lavrov accused the #West of destroying the 3+3 format. He accused the West of violating the interests of #Turkey, #Russia, and #Iran.
7/ Lavrov will try to agree the time, agenda of a new meeting in 🇹🇷 in the 3+3 format. It has already been revealed that these dictatorial countries aim to keep #Georgia, #Azerbaijan, #Armenia in their sphere of influence, prevent their democratic develop., cooper. with the West.
8/ It is also a fact today that Azerbaijan's attacks against #Karabakh, #Armenia, the 2020 #war, were planned by Russia with Turkey before the attack on Ukraine. The Kremlin aimed to cede Karabakh to 🇹🇷 and 🇦🇿 so that they would take a neutral position in the war against Ukraine.
9/ 🇹🇷, 🇦🇿 are reselling 🇷🇺 gas to 🇪🇺, supporting 🇷🇺 to buy weapons, make war. But while 🇷🇺 threatens 🇦🇲 not to ratify the Rome Statute, accuses the West of trying to enter its sphere of influence, 🇦🇲 Pashinyan thanks the US for stopping 🇦🇿's attacks at the For Democracy Summit.
10/ This says everything about Russia's real weight in the South Caucasus. Russia is not a stabilizing factor, but a source of conflict. He is not the ally of Armenia, but the author of conspiracies.
11/ The presence of the #West in the #SouthCaucasus gives hope that #Russia will not be able to colonize #Armenia through the pressure of #Turkey and #Azerbaijan, and deprive Armenia of its sovereignty and the chance of a democratic future.

1/12 #Azerbaijan's TOP 15 false narratives. Exploiting these lies, #Baku disrupts the negotiation process with #Armenia, prepares for new attacks against Armenia, #NagornoKarabakh.
1. Armenia supplies weapons to Karabakh through the Lachin Corridor with the help of peacekeepers.
2. Armenia does not agree to establish peace with Azerbaijan, although Azerbaijan's proposals are the best, based on the principles of international law.
3. Armenia, together with Russia and Iran, is preparing to attack Azerbaijan.
4. There are illegal military groups in Nagorno-Karabakh that are planning to attack, and it is necessary to disarm the NK Defense Army with an anti-terrorist operation.
2/ There is #NATO, which is a military structure, but there are also non-NATO democratic countries that are at risk. And the #West protects them with military and diplomatic power. #Russia promotes the interests of dictatorial regimes through the war against #Ukraine.
3/ If #Putin wins, not a multipolar world order will be established, but chaos will begin. The victory of Russia will mean that there is only the right of force in the world, and small states will face the danger of colonization. Putin says that states are sovereign or colonies.
1/ Today #Azerbaijan's armed forces closed the Goris-Stepanakert highway between Aghavno and Tegh villages. The government of #NagornoKarabakh reports that the new Tegh-Kornidzor dirt highway of Syunik marz is ready. It bypasses the closed road.
2/ This road connects to the new Kornidzor-Hin shen road (Lachin Corridor) commissioned in Aug 2022. Asphalting works of the Tegh-Kornidzor road are in progress by Armenia. Tegh-Kornidzor dirt road is passable.
3/ With this, it is possible to carry out humanitarian supplies to Karabakh by Russian peacekeepers and the International Committee of the #RedCross. Russian peacekeepers control that road on the border of Nagorno-Karabakh, near the Hakar river bridge.
1/6 #Armenia and the #CzechRepublic will cooperate in the military sphere. The #Armenian government has started the process of ratifying the agreement "On military-technical cooperation between the governments of Armenia and the Czech Republic".
2/ It was signed in 2010, but it was not ratified for 13 yrs. The reason may be #Russia's threats. 🇷🇺 had a monopoly in the military sector of 🇦🇲 both in the supply of weapons, in the field of #military edu. Accord. to SIPRI, in 2011-2020, 94% of 🇦🇲's weapons were supplied by 🇷🇺.
3/ However, losing the war against #Ukraine, #Russia cannot sell weapons to Armenia. Russian military-industrial companies are under sanctions. And Russian weapons are a real curse for Armenia, which does not want to have problems with the West.
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.
