Nagorno-Karabakh: Azeri forces rebuild homes in disputed city of Lachin

In western Azerbaijan, the city of Lachin feels like a vast construction site. Everywhere you look, efforts to erase the scars of the last all-out war between Armenia and Azerbaijan are evident.

Look at the appearance of Lachin when it was occupied by Armenia, and now look at its development... it becomes clear who the original owners of these lands are.

[@bor1339]

What does the choice of investing the Sadam Aliyev petro dollar has to do with the ownership. This is the most stupid argument I have ever seen. If I come and level down your home and build a 5 store modern office building, will it make the true owner of the land ?

[@Adson_von_Melk]

Since when is Lachin disputed? It's an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan and it was populated almost exclusively by ethnic Azeris until 1992 when it was occupied by Armenia. But even after that it didn't become "disputed". For comparison, is Paris "disputed" territory because it was occupied by Germany in 1940-44?

[@arinangel_]

Did you really equate democratic, indigenous Armenians to NAZI Germany? They literally live in a geography named after them: Armenian Highlands. Meanwhile Azerbaijan is by definition a fascist, racist, nepotist, petro-dictatorship.

[@Adson_von_Melk]

@@arinangel_ 1. most of "indigenous" Armenians were resettled in what is now Armenia after 1828 by Russian authorities who brought them from Iran and Turkey. So they had to rename every single village, river or hille in the "Armenian Highland named after them" until 1990s to get rid of the Azeri placenames. The most of Armenian toponyms are artificial and were made up to replace the original ones in 1918-c.1995. 2. Tell that tale about "democratic" Armenia to those Azeris who were brutally beaten, killed, tortured, maimed, burnt alive when they were being forcefully expelled from Armenia in 1987-1991. 3. Don't talk nonsense about "fascist" and "racist" Azerbaijan you have never been to. It's a multiethnic and multiconfessional country while Armenia expelled all of its minorities and artificially made itself a monoethnical country.

[@arinangel_]

@@Adson_von_Melk Point (1) is utter garbage, this is straight out of the Azerbaijani state endorsed propaganda playbook. Any one who has read a history book knows otherwise (2) Utter garbage again - Armenians have not done any such thing, and if they have it pales in frequency to the point of insignificance, point out one piece of non-Azeri evidence. Meanwhile Azeris raised Shushi killing 10’s of thousand of people over the last 100 years alone, committed anti-Armenian pogroms right across the country repeatedly. The war in 2020 was a prime example of this barbaric tendency, there is hours of recorded evidence of beheading, mutilating and other war crimes. (3) Which of the two countries denies the Armenian genocide, is perpetrating ethnic cleansing right now by starving 120,000 people and is lead by a family based dictatorship that actively calls Armenians dogs and encourages their removal on state television? Azerbaijan is a dictatorship, caught bribing European politicians and runs state endorsed revisionist history and anti-Armenianism. It has a freedom index of 9, a few countries away from North Korea. The Republic of Artsakh is 39, a starving hell-hole being ethnically cleansed is freer than Azerbaijan - A bit of wisdom for you, no-one believes Azeri propaganda except Azeri sock puppets.

Are you mad? There was not any Armenian settlement in the whole Lachin district, there were not any Armenian population in Lachin town before 1992. Armenia just occupied and burned Lachin. It was just crime and vandalism. Same as nazis.

Lachin is not disputed. It is internationally recognised territory of Azerbaijan with majority of the ethnic Azerbaijanis living there before the ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijanis in early 1990s. Lachin is one of 7 regions that Armenia occupied along with Nagorno-Karabakh. It was is not in the Nagorno-Karabakh territory itself but occupied and ethnically cleansed by Armenia. Euronews must check the facts before publishing news, rather than spreading fake news and Armenian propaganda. It is very unprofessional.

[@owlmirror178]

Why internationally recognised? Because of Azeri Caviar diplomacy and these ARmenian lands has Stalin given to the Azeris, illegally. Like Nahitshevan and Nagorny Karabakh. His grand Grandparents came from Central Asia.

[@user-xs8vr5yr4z]

@@owlmirror178 Stalin gave Karabakh to Armenia is myth spread by Armenia and invented in the Kremlin narrative. According to Armenia and Kremlin Stalin invented Azerbaijan, Stalin gave Abkhazi and South Ossetia to Georgia and Stalin gave lots of land to Ukraine to create today's Ukraine. This is myth and propoganda in order to maintain the frozen conflicts in the region. Stalin did not give Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Karabakh was founded by Panakh Ali Khan (king of Karabakh). It was seized to Russian Empire in 1806 as result of Kurekcay treaty. The treaty was singed by grandson son of Panakh Ali Khan-Ibragim Kulu khan and the Russian Empire. If Karabakh was Armenian before 1806, why the Kurekchay Treaty was signed between Ibrahim Kulu khan and Russian Empire not by any Armenians? After the Kurekchay treaty, the Russian Empire moved lots of Armenians to Karabakh from Iran and Turkey. You can check the Turkmenchay Treaty, where it says clearly move Armenians from Persia to the Russian Empire (mainly to Erivan and Kharabakh khanates-kingdoms). Before there lived only 5 small meliks (lords), but subject of khan (king). Their title melik was much lower than of khan (king) his relatives, Agha and bey. Stalin did not give Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan entered to the Soviet Union with Karabakh and Zangezur. the Soviet Union degree was to REMAIN Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. Yet, Stalin gave Zangezur to Armenia. And deported Azerbaijanis from Zangezur, Vedi and Goyce regions in 1947. Anyone can check my facts in google.

[@sarhadaghayev2944]

Reality In 1992, there were only 150,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. They wanted independence and killed 20,000 Azerbaijanis and drove 800,000 Azerbaijanis from their homes and burned their homes. Is this fair? About 1 million people were expelled and killed because 150,000 Armenians wanted it that way. After 30 years, justice was restored. Azerbaijan defeated Armenia with military force. About 1 million Azerbaijanis return to their homes and do not expel Armenians. Armenians are also allowed to live there. Who is fair now?

[@andreaaltan3982]

Fantasy figures. About 1 million people expelled and killed? That was the Osmanic Empire against the Kurds and Armenians

[@sananaghayev7063]

It's really so hard to see this but it happened to us. My grandparents house were destroyed by Armenians in Fuzuli. Even we could not find any stone from our house. 😢

[@malxadolasanadam]

Disputed? Lachin isn't even inside borders of former NK, how come it's disputed? There weren't even 1% Armenian in the region before Azerbaijani's ethnic cleansing, how come it's disputed? Call Baku disputed while you are at it

LIAR. There haven´t been even one Azeri in these areas before your people invaded these lands and Stalin has given it to you, illegally.

[@arinangel_]

The entirety of Western “Azerbaijan” is part of the indigenous Armenian homeland named the Armenian Highland. There is no legitimate Turkish claim on this place no matter what propaganda the dictatorships of Turkey and Azerbaijan have you believe.

[@Size968]

​​@@arinangel_Can you tell the name of an Armenian state that was ever in history in those territories?? No, because there has never been an Armenian state in the South Caucasus.

[@arinangel_]

@@Size968 😂 The Kingdom of Artsakh 1000AD-1300AD? Also, the Kingdom of Syunik, Baghk and Gegharkyunik.

This is the result of the policy of aggression started by Armenia against Azerbaijan since 1990. Armenia and Azerbaijan have internationally recognized state borders. If Armenia had implemented the 4 resolutions adopted by the UN in 1993, that is, if Armenia had withdrawn its troops from the Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan and its surrounding territories, which it occupied, these conflicts would not exist today. Of course, it would be good if Armenia respected world laws. People will live free and prosperous.

What is this fossil yapping about that we excavated those graves? It was either destroyed by collateral damage during the 2nd Karabakh war or some Azerbaijani staged it to make it look like we did it. Unlike Azerbaijanis, we Armenians actually have respect for the fallen regardless if they were an ally or an enemy. We have an Azerbaijani cemetery in Kapan in great condition and we actively maintain it because every person that once lived deserves to be remembered in some shape or form. Unlike Azerbaijan that completely obliterated the Armenian Julfa cemetery, virtually erasing any Armenian traces.

I feel for this man. He says the graves of his relatives were desecrated. Does he know that all of Western Armenia ( Eastern Turkiye), Nackichevan, and the Syrian desert are an Armenian cemetary? You can find the bones of Armenians still strewn about. The criminal Aliyev destroyed all the Armenian gravestones (khachkars) in Nakhichevan so completely that without the videos and pictures of the before and the actual destruction you'd think it was barren for all time. Aliyev distracts his people by the purported acts of some ignorant Armenians to keep his people distracted from his plunder of Azeri oil and gas. money.
