Azerbaijan’s jihad war crimes will get little notice, because like the “Palestinians,” Azerbaijan has a well-funded PR machine.
“One Greek killed fighting in Artsakh, Azerbaijan continues to commit war crimes,” by Paul Antonopoulos, Greek City Times, October 28, 2020:
One ethnic Greek born in Armenia has been killed while defending Artsakh from a Turkish-sponsored invasion attempt.
Osipov Aren, who born in Armenia in 1984 but was living in Russia, returned to the country of his birth to defend Artsakh when the Azerbaijani military and Syrian mercenaries launched an invasion attempt on September 27….
Aren’s sacrifice comes as the Azerbaijani military continue to commit war crimes against the Armenian people in Artsakh.
Last week, Azerbaijani forces targeted the Shushi Holy Martyr Cathedral, and then struck again when journalists went to cover the events, as reported by Greek City Times.
Azerbaijan has also targeted hospitals and kindergartens, resulting in several casualties.
Their soldiers have beheaded Armenian defenders, although in poetic justice the Azerbaijani soldier that committed the war crime was killed in combat.
In shocking cases, Azerbaijani special forces have killed six civilians in the town of Hadrut, including a disabled man and his mother, as well as a 73-year-old man….
With the war crimes that Azerbaijan is committing, which directly targets churches, hospitals, children, the elderly and the disabled, there is little wonder why the 1,000 Greeks of Armenia and the 40 Greeks of Artsakh are resisting the Turkish-sponsored invasion attempt….

Greetings:
Back when the fighting first began, I saw a TV report, either on PBS or France24, that went to some pains to transmit the idea that Islam and Islamaniacs had nothing to do with the hostilities. Mentioned were the low number of the Muslim population which predictably weren’t really all that Muslim. It would have been somewhat amusing if people hadn’t been dying.

Azeris are Turks. They speak Turkish. Erdogan and Aliyev have said: “Two states, one nation” about Turkish and Azeri identity. I mention this to point out what the Azeris are doing (beheading, destroying churches, kindergartens, hospitals) what they have done before, just like their elder brother Turkey. The barbarity of the Turks is so ingrained that one wonders whether it’s more than cultural/political but genetic. Consider leaders (Erdogan” and his defense and foreign ministers ) who said in the past few months that they would finish the job [Armenian Genocide] their fathers had left unfinished. They also referred to Armenians as the “remnants of the sword” meaning people who had somehow survived the genocide [and should be eliminated.] This is a country [Turkey] which is a member of NATO, is armed by NATO and particularly America, and a country which owes is economy to western investments and which has a leader who frequently threatens Europe in addition to attacking Syria, Libya, and now Armenia. Erdogan has called Germans and Austrians “Nazi”, incited Turks living in Europe not to assimilate but make Turkey their first allegiance and today said Europe has started a Crusade against Muslims. This is the same man who has threatened every nation around it except for Georgia which has become a vassal of Turkey. Finally, when will the West say “enough is enough and stop Erdogan. When will the West stop the carnage that 90 million Turks (80 million Turkey and 10 million Azerbaijan) are waging against 3 million Armenians. The western mainstream media is complicit in the carnage because of its reporting/analyzing of the invasion of Christian Armenia by 90 million Muslims who also have been joined by Islamic mercenaries, Pakistani troops, and Afghan mujahideen. The last two have joined the invasion because Armenia has committed the crime of being Christian. Jihadwatch is one of the rare western media outlets which are telling the truth about the Turkic attacks on Armenia.

Don’t forget the contribution of Erdogan who is inciting hatred against all non muslims and muslims who do not agree with him !
jirtu says
Please, please, don’t criticize the Azeri and Turkish butchers. You don’t want to be tagged Islamaphobic. It’s not politically correct, although committing genocide of Armenians is OK… you know… it’s politics…these things happen…switch to a different channel. You don’t want to watch the elimination of a nation which has called Armenia/Nagorno-Karabakh home for 3,000 years while Azerbaijan was invented by Russia in 1918.

“Azerbaijan’s jihad war crimes will get little notice, because like the “Palestinians,” Azerbaijan has a well-funded PR machine.”
You know what gets even less notice? Israel’s support for Azerbaijan.
Strange that you forgot to condemn it. Here’s your chance.
markey2020 says
Israelis are mistaken if they think Turks/Azeris have any love for them.
Israel should recognize the Armenian genocide and stop supporting Azerijaban and supplying them with weapons.
TBH. At this point it will be just – saving face moment – for them.
Boycott Turkey says
I agree I think it’s not only a mistake Israel supplying weapons to Azerbaijan but it’s a security risk to Israel as I feel Azerbaijan and Iran are secretly allies and Iran could easily get hold of those Israeli drones from Azerbaijan and use them on Israel in a future war also I don’t believe Iran is allied to Armenia it’s Allied to Azerbaijan
Bud says
Israel’s relationship with Azerbaijan is longstanding. Over a period of time, Azerbaijan gave sanctuary to Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia/Soviet Union. Am not sure of the time period, but I believe it preceded even the U.S.S.R. Around 2014, there was a very large Jewish enclave of about 30,000 in the northeast part of the country. Also, for a good many years, Azerbaijan has supplied about 30% of Israel’s oil/gas needs.
Azeri is a Turkic-based language, but is more like classical Turkish. The modern Turkish language has been influenced by Arabic and Farsi.
None of this is said to excuse Israel’s not standing up for Armenia, just to note the longstanding relationship.
jirtu says
Bud, you are saying Israel is justified in selling weapons (while the war is going on) to Azerbaijan which are killing innocent civilians and destroying hospitals, churches, kindergartens, and maternity clinics because Azerbaijan is a strategic partner of Israel. So although Armenians have not hurt Israelis or Jews and are not the aggressors in this war, they have to die because of Israel’s friendship with Azerbaijan. Do you see the immorality of Israel and your acceptance of the Israeli war crimes.

ELI here is just desperately hoping to divide the victims of Islam. Nice try.
“Armenia says Israel may cut off arms sales to Azeris”
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/armenia-says-israel-may-cut-off-arms-sales-to-azeris/
ELI says
Apparently GI is just fine with Israel’s support for the genocidal Muslim jihad of Azerbajian.
Instead of condemning it, she desperately looks for a way to avoid doing so.
gravenimage says
I noted that Israel is going to stop arms sales to Azerbaijan now that they are using them against Armenian civilians, and the repulsive ELI is trying to pretend that this means that I am supporting Jihad terror.
Realy, even he must realize how irrational this claim is–but what does he care, if he can spout calumny against Anti-Jihadists here?
LB says
“May cut off” and actually cutting off are two different things. Israel should know better what would happen if the muslim countries around them get stronger while the non-muslim ones get weaker or even annexed.
In the end, it’s all about the money, for Israel and USA as well. War is profitable business after all, but what happens when the war that you funded comes knocking on your door? It seems not even the clever Israelis are capable of thinking ahead… I guess we’ll wait and see.

Israel should stop sales to Azerbaijan now.
Boycott Turkey says
RIP brave Armenian and Greek soldiers I have not seen anything about this on the news I noticed RT isn’t mentioning this at all but what I did see mentioned on mainstream media was when Azerbaijan is attacked but not Armenians media is anti Armenian and pro Azerbaijan totally biased because of oil and that they are Muslims the world is a very evil place now there is no hope Turkey is allowed to do what it likes commite more genocides on Armenians Kurds and soon probably Greece and Cyprus maybe Greece should just get it over and done with go to war with Turkey to help Armenia fight to the death instead of living in fear of when will Turkey invade
Crusades Were Right says
BBC reportage on the invasion is the standard “two sides suffering” claptrap, but with a clear focus on Armenian “atrocities”, i.e. Armenians defending themselves against the invading Mohammedan horde.
I guess they haven’t quite figured out which side’s skin is browner…
…but of course don’t need any help in identifying Muslim-victims and Christian-baddies.
Bolsheviks
Broadcasting
Cobblers.
Boycott Turkey says
The BBC is becaming a nazi jihad propaganda channel This is not 2 sides it’s 3 million Armenians against 20 million NAZIbaijans and 90 million Turks and plus terrorist jihadist from Syria and Pakistan who have weapons from Russia Israel Canada Turkey it’s a unfair fight it’s attempted Genocide on Armenians and the Artash Armenians only have Armenia supporting them no one else and the mainstream media is saying it’s 2 sides this is a very bad situation for Armenians I just pray for a miracle the worlds silence is Genocide on Armenians

Azerbaijani forces target cathedral in Artsakh, behead Armenians
…………..
Just horrifying. This is a Jihad against Christians.
jirtu says
It’s obvious the Muslim Azeris and Muslim Turks who bombed the Armenian cathedral, destroyed a hospital, a maternity clinic, schools…and cut the heads of Armenian POWs are mentally disturbed people who need our help…R and R at one of the Turkish resorts in Antalya would de wonders for them and return them to battle the Armenians in the standard Turkish genocidal history of great repute. Azeris good people. Turks good people. Criticizing their cowardly attack on tiny Armenia is racist, Islamophobic, fascistic…

Some 50 Turks, shouting “Allah Akbar”, rampaged last Thursday night through a Church in Vienna.
https://kurier.at/chronik/oesterreich/islamisten-angriff-auf-kirche-in-wien-favoriten/401082495
The newspaper labelled the vandals “Islamists”?
The chancellor of Austria called it “Political Islam”?

The new Kristallnacht is clearly spread over a longer period of time in Europe, and the roles of the victims and the aggressors have changed too.
But one thing did NOT change: the same denial of the ruling classes and intellectuals: it has nothing to do with Nazism nor Islam.

Usman muazzam says
Always say the truth, only Truth shall set you free! God is truthfull and so, he only accept that which is truth. When you convey lies out of injustice, remember you are destroying peace, and introdicing devil to cause violence. A good and honest report convey fault of war from both side of the victims!
gravenimage says
How is condemning this attack on a Cathedral; and Muslims beheading Artmenians unjust? What about this stroy is untrue? Of course, Usman muazzam does not say.
He says we should hear from the Azeris–here they are, screaming “Jihad Jihad Jihad!” in front of the Armenian Embassy in Washington, DC.

ELI says
“I noted that Israel is going to stop arms sales to Azerbaijan now that they are using them against Armenian civilians, and the repulsive ELI is trying to pretend that this means that I am supporting Jihad terror.”
Israel has said no such thing and I note that you still refuse to condemn their supplying of weapons to a Muslim jihadic army attacking a peaceful Christian country. Need I remind you that jihadis were reported to be fighting there too on the side of Azeris. Need I remind you that rapidly Islamizing Turkey led by ISIS-supporting Erdogan is supporting Azerbaijan.
That condemnation will never come of course. Everyone on here know that, but it’s nice to watch you squirm and shoot the messenger.

…………………
ELI wrote this at 6:51 pm yesterday, and I wrote this at 5:1 pm on the same day:
Israel should stop sales to Azerbaijan now.
….
So ELI said that I woulod never say that Israel should not do this, when I had already said that here on this very thread.
Really, ELI has nothing, so he has to lie about Anti-Jihadists here.
Then, I have already written about Jihadists fighting in Azerbaijan, as well as noted Turkey’s involvement in the JIhad against Armenia in the comments streams here:
“Azerbaijan hires Syrian jihadis as mercenaries, they impose Sharia, mandating hijabs and forbidding liquor”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/09/azerbaijan-hires-syrian-jihadis-as-mercenaries-they-impose-sharia-mandating-hijabs-and-forbidding-liquor

https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/10/turkey-pro-erdogan-journalist-hails-azerbaijan-purging-its-cities-villages-mountains-and-lands-of-armenians
And the only reason that apologist for Islamic savagery ELI is admitting this is because he desperately hopes to imply that he has caught Anti-Jihadists being inconsistent. Try again…
