Who can Armenia count on? Yerevan angers Moscow and looks West • FRANCE 24 English

The French Foreign Minister, Catherine Colonna, is in Armenia today, to examine the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave in Azerbaijan which until 2 weeks ago had a sizeable ethnic Armenian population. But now the enclave is empty, as more than 100,000 of its former residents have crossed the border and now live in Armenia.

From April to November 1993, the UN Security Council adopted four resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which were not implemented by Armenia: UN Security Council Resolution 822 of April 30, 1993 - demanded, among other things, the immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from the Kelbajar region and other recently occupied areas of Azerbaijan; UN Security Council Resolution 853 of July 29, 1993 - demanded, among other things, the complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupation forces participating in the conflict from the Agdam region and all other recently occupied regions of Azerbaijan; UN Security Council Resolution 874 of October 14, 1993 - called on the parties concerned to make the ceasefire effective and permanent; UN Security Council Resolution 884 of November 12, 1993 also condemned the occupation of the Zangelan region and the city of Goradiz of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Armenia should stop claiming to the territories of its neighbors - Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia, then there will be no need for any external support to them.

[@zavenzakarian4527]

I do not agree with Richard Giragossian's insistence that the Russian "peace keepers" were humiliated by Azerbaijan. There is no humiliation when there is coordination of actions between Russia and Azerbaijan. Russia, I (and majority of analysts) believe that it was Russia that signaled (if not ordered) that it was time to launch an decisive attack, to quote the Russian Foreign ministry spokesperson's "This is what happens to Armenia when it dares to look to the West". Russia also coordinated this attack on the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh in the hopes that Armenia would be forced to come to the help of the Armenians in Karabakh and get involved in a major war. Weakened Armenia would then ask for Russia's help and get that help in return for the loss of the Armenian statehood. Russia would help if Armenia joins Russia in a union, thus turning it into a southernmost Russian province. This fact MUST be underlined whenever we talk about why Russia came to Nogorno-Karabakh in the first place. Russia had NEVER had any intention to help Armenia, it did not help Armenia in 2020, nor give any help in this current war.

[@Suleyman1075]

The fact that Iran is on Armenia's side shows that this conflict has nothing to do with religion. It is not a conflict between Muslims and Christians.

As an Armenian, I'm incredibly impressed by the well- organized, and respectable mannner in which all of the corresponding guests are discussing the Armenia/Azerbaijan situation. By the way, this is the first time in all the news outlets between the two countries, that I've seen professionalism and intelligence from a representative of Azerbaijan. In all honesty, bravo to the Azeri political analyst and professor for making very carefully thought out and mature political perspectives on the situation without yelling, attacking or smearing Armenians. While I disagree with much of his points, I can respect that he clearly and genuinely wants to discuss the issues on the table with Armenians from a more unbiased and objective view despite stark cultural and religious differences between us, so that we can at least establish a way of peace as neighbors. This was a mature, educational and fantastic talk. Thank you to France24 and to all the guests 👏🏻

[@ismayilj]

Mr Laurent Leylekian says complete nonsense as any other "analyst" from toxic diaspora who never lived in the region and who build their parallel reality. There was a peace between Azerbaijanis and Armenians during the soviet time, many cross marriages, knowing each other language fluently. Singers and artists, officials visiting "Brother Republic Armenia" and "Brother Republic Azerbaijan". For example, Azerbaijani people's artist singer Zeynab Khanlarova had also a title of a people's artist of Armenia and performed song "Yerevan" written by Azeri composers. No Azerbaijanian understands why Armenians decided to split, it was purely a manipulation of people's minds by some ultra nationalistic elites. There was no independence for security idea, it is a well known "Miatsum" movement to simply merge Karabakh to Armenia due to nationalistic claims over the territory. A pandora box was opened. Only the Armenian elite to be blamed for failing the peace process for decades and leading to this situation. It will take decades to restore the peace given there is a political will.

The region would actually cleanse itself against the influence of big powers and dance to their tunes, if they can somehow negotiate peace amongst themselves.

[@naregploozian238]

How would they play a role in the gas corridor if it has been taken by force, first from the 2020 agreement made under duress, and then now from the occupation in Southern Armenia? If you mean to suggest that they can control the corridor and possibly tax the transmission for mutual economic benefit -- there is no way that the Turks and Azeris allow that unless they are forced to by greater international forces.
