Azerbaijan reportedly has several large PR agencies working for it. They’re likely training Azeris to employ the same kind of victimhood propaganda has worked so well for the “Palestinians.”
“Azerbaijan strikes inside Armenia as Karabakh fighting widens,” by Dmitry Zaks and Aris Messinis, AFP, October 14, 2020:
Azerbaijan said Wednesday it destroyed missile launchers inside Armenia that were targeting its cities, an escalation that threatens to further draw regional powers Russia and Turkey into the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged an end to heavy fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenian separatists that erupted two weeks ago, in their first telephone call since clashes broke out.
“They stressed the urgent need for joint efforts to end the bloodshed as soon as possible and move to a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,” the Kremlin said.
Hundreds have been killed in the fighting over the disputed region, and continued clashes have rendered almost meaningless a ceasefire agreed in Moscow last week.
Armenia confirmed that military positions inside the country were hit but denied its forces had been firing into Azerbaijan. It warned that it too could start targeting military sites inside its adversary’s territory.
Its foreign ministry later accused Azerbaijan of refusing to implement the ceasefire and — with Turkish support — of trying to “expand” the area of the conflict by attacking Armenia.
Clashes over Nagorno-Karabakh have been largely confined to the region since a fresh outbreak of fighting started last month….

This a 1400 y.o. Ongoing religious war to destroy Christianity. Turks, Arabs and Persians never miss an opportunity to reignite it.

“This a 1400 y.o. Ongoing religious war to destroy Christianity. Turks, Arabs and Persians never miss an opportunity to reignite it.”
And the west is the greatest of all in destroying Christianity and Judaism and honor. But the west rulers don’t need honor if muslims have it,
Tony Naim says
True “Honor” is seen within the scope of a free commitment to serve others or a higher purpose. Honor is not attached to the genital organs of women. There is no honor in supremacy, discrimination or Religious violence either. No honor in the theft of religious monuments of others like the Hagia Sophia or the Jewish Temple .

Thank you graven image for the info:
“Another important book on the Armenian Genocide is “The Burning Tigris”, by Peter Balakian.”
I will find out about it,wrote down the name and author. I had forgot to state that Turkey ,under the 3 Pashas and later:
Also KILLED 50% of the ASSYRIAN CHRISTIANS in the Ottoman Empire and 500,000 GREEKS.
THE ANCESTRY OF THE TURKS
The Turks were originally from CENTRAL ASIA and Mongoloid, but today’s Turks are definitely CAUCASOID,and DNA testing shows they mostly of EUROPEAN and MIDDLE EASTERN ancestry(ALMOST 75% ). The 2 reasons are:
1.Many Christians in the region converted to Islam by force, because of discrimination.
2.Many European women were sold to Turks as Sex Slaves for CENTURIES.
Personally,I think the Turks of today should CHANGE LANGUAGE and abandon Islam and adopt FRENCH as their language,saying:
“I don’t want to identify with a barbaric group guilty of CRIMES against HUMANITY over and over again”
Here is a 2019 article:
“DNA-based tests shake Turks’ beliefs in their “Turkishness”
https://ahvalnews.com/turks/dna-based-tests-shake-turks-beliefs-their-turkishness
It says:
“A report in the journal Annals of Human Genetics in 2012 indicated the
PATERNAL ancestry (my note: no mention of the MATERNAL line here ) of those living in Turkey
was 38 percent EUROPEAN,
35 percent MIDDLE EASTERN, 18 percent South Asian and only 9 percent Central Asian. ”
INTERESTING PARTS OF THE ARTICLE
EXAMPLE 1
“Popular DNA tests are troubling Turks and shaking belief in their “Turkishness” as they find that, INSTEAD of being DIRECT DESCENDANTS of the Seljuk and Ottoman hordes
who surged into Anatolia from Central Asia a millennium ago,
they are instead part of the kaleidoscope of peoples who have LIVED in what is NOW modern Turkey and migrated there SINCE TIME BEGAN.”
EXAMPLE 2
“Home DNA based testing kits are BANNED in TURKEY, but many Turks ABROAD have used them, sending a small sample to a lab and receiving a report on their ethnic roots”
EXAMPLE 3
“Gül Çelik, a designer, said she had taken the test 10 years ago, but the company she used had been continuously updated information on her genetic links as more people had taken the test.
Çelik said the tests showed she had MONGOLIAN, ITALIAN,JEWISH, GREEK and ARMENIAN ancestors.
She said her FAMILY, from the northeastern province of Bayburt, had REFUSED to believe that they had had Armenian, Italian and Greek links. “I told them the test was scientific, but they did not even want to listen,” she said. ”
EXAMPLE 4
“Çelik also GOT IN TOUCH with one of her DISTANT ITALIAN COUSINS thanks to the test.
“He told the story of our Italian ancestors from the 1600s. According to him, some 100 PEOPLE were brought to the Ottoman territories as SLAVES and so one of those 100 people was our ancestor,” she said.
Çelik said her HUSBAND’S test results were equally surprising.
“Test results showed that my husband is JEWISH and from the Cohen lineage. He had never heard such a thing from his family before. He has no Jewish relatives. He was raised as a Muslim,” she said. “

Thank you, Brando–it is a troubling bur excellent book.
And you are quite right–the Armenian Genocide actually targeted *all* Christians in Turkey–Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, and Levantines.
Boycott Turkey says
This means that Russia must help Armenia as they have a security pact that Russia would help Armenia if its hit inside Armenia but somehow I don’t trust Russia the way it has been behaving lately I read somewhere that Russia Warned Turkey about using f16 I hope Russia wakes up and stops playing there stupid games.
Meanwhile civilians in Artkash are suffering and are fighting for there existence and the world stays silent only loud voice is from the Muslims jihad side calling for Armenian blood
Ray Jarman says
Does this remind anyone of Kosovo with a big difference? The Armenians have lived in Nagorno-Karabakh for centuries and are now being attacked by the Azeris while the Muslims of Kosovo stole over from Albania. Also a difference between the Armenians and those nefarious drug cartel Albanians is that the press coverage was immense and portrayed the Serbs as monsters for wishing to maintain sovereignty over their centuries old land from invading usurpers. Had the Serbs been Muslim and the interlopers Christian, the Clintons and their EU cronies would have certainly sided with the Serbs. This is almost identical because the Armenians are very Christian and the Azeris are Muslim, so the West could not care less for the Christians.
Christian values of right and wrong no longer matter in the this Alice in Wonderland world where evil is extolled and good is demonized. I pray for the Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh and that the Russian Orthodox Church will persuade Putin to defend the Armenians from another Islamic genocide.

Azerbaijan strikes inside Armenia as Armenia denies striking inside Azerbaijan
………………
More of the Jihad against Armenia.
Vladimir says
What monsters those Armenians are; attacked, they defend themselves this time. I’m sure the Islamic groups out there are ready for the sob stories and all coming from the Azeri side; they are one of those types of people that strike out with pretended injury after they hit you first…
