Caviar diplomacy is a lobbying strategy of Azerbaijan, consisting of costly invitations to foreign politicians and employees of international organizations to Azerbaijan at the expense of the host country. The term "caviar diplomacy" was first used in 2012, in a report by the European Stability Initiative (ESI) - "Caviar Diplomacy - How Azerbaijan silenced the Council of Europe". It was noted in the report that this term is being used in informal conversations of Azerbaijani officials to describe generous gifts to foreign politicians.[2][6] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caviar_diplomacy#:~:text=Caviar%20diplomacy%20is%20a%20lobbying,expense%20of%20the%20host%20country.

It's shocking how it has only really hit here in the UK in the past few days. It's an awful situation and needs something to happen. Sadly, Armenia is inbetween the big countries that enjoy attacking more vulnerable countries. Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia etc.
All mentioned countries with extreme ambitions...also historically Russia and Turkey (being rivals) always sorted their relations in between each other with the cost of Armenian lands and people. Famously after the Armenian genocide the bolsheviks presented Armenian lands to Turkey and of course were the ones who created enclave of Nagorno Karabakh with majority of Armenian population within a new Russian-Turkish unity called Azerbaijan.
oh shit, i watch the context every evening but i missed this because of the football. i'm glad they picked you as the spokesperson for this issue, as you are probably the most prominent voice on this issue internationally. hopefully more people will notice
No reason why anyone should go struggling to starving. We should help one another. Especially the Government's and world leaders around the world. Always had the same views as well Serj Tankian
I am Armenian from Perth and we went on rally today to raise awareness. We need Govt to speak up and condemn like many other countries have done. France has sent 20 lorries of humanitarian help but Azerbaijan doesn't allow it in. Armenian lorries also have been blocked from entering Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). Turkey and Azerbaijan (ethnic Turks) continue policy of Genocide of 1915. Moreover, Turkey silences Australia from telling its people that in 1915 brave Australians risking their lives saved many Christian Armenians and Assyrians from massacre. Every year we say thank you to ANZAC soldiers from saving our people in what is now Turkey but is in fact occupied Armenia and occupied Greece...
Alex, unfortunately you cannot help them. Azerbaijan tried to help them with humanitarian aid from inside which they rejected, people created barricades on the road in order to not accept that aids. Seems like they are being stubborn to use Laching corridor (which is legally part of Azerbaijan).

People of Republic of #Artsakh and their ancestors have never been citizens of a country called #Azerbaijan and never paid taxes to #Baku . It is not only unjust but also criminal & genocidal to suggest that Azerbaijan's territorial integrity includes #NagornoKarabakh
You can’t just grab land from other countries. Respect the territorial integrity & sovereignty. Oh sorry you did that in 1993 just because Azeris were not as powerful as today. You just need to get out of the land that doesn’t belong to you. Or obey the rules.

@@Gengchen82Are you Azerbaijani? You sure sound like one. Armenians aren’t plotting anything with Iran, there are a lot of Armenians living in Iran no thanks to the Genocide of 1915. Armenia does not attack and has not attacked anyone in centuries. They are victims of two surrounding governments (moreso dictatorships) fueled by nationalism and the aim to continue the Genocide of 1915. This is evident by the multiple attacks and pogroms since then, the ongoing blockade, attacks into sovereign Armenia, the attacks in 2020, so on and so forth.

There is proof in not only churches, but other artifacts found as well. Hope this helps.
Artsakh belongs to its 150k indigenous Armenians, not to fascist Azerbaijan. The people of Artsakh legally seceded from Azerbaijan SSR in full compliance with Soviet and international law in 1991. Artsakh today celebrates its 32nd anniversary of independence!
Very well said Serj !! UK should say something to Azerbaijan.. BBC should report what is going on in Karabakh..this is the first time I hear BBC covering this conflict. First christian nation is being starved ..we don't want another Genocide happening to Armenians in 1915.
Thanks for threatening the BBC over this interview, Press Council of Azerbaijan - I wasn't aware this interview even existed before you had a tantrum about it.
Why should they use that road, when in the agreement signed in 2020 it clearly says that th Lachin road must be used? Why does your dictator breach all the agreements? Reminds me of another dictator.who doesn't keep his promises.
As long as this planet exists, Armenians they shall exist too, none can erase us, no power except God can destroy this ethnic group, because our strength is a strength from Universe and God and we are full of Love and Hope, they will continue to survive no matter the circustance, no matter if they loose all, at the end of the day an Armenian has a Spirit of a warrior, a survivor who knows to adapt well in any environment. Armenians are unbreakable, invincible!! Deal with it, this is the Truth, as we have done for centuries, nations and kingdoms have come and gone, but Armenians will always stand strong cause our strength is LOVE in our hearts and our Faith, if none has understood it they are ignorant, because an Armenian always strives for Universal Unity and peace be it conscious or unconscious.

Мир???? 😂😂😂 Ну где же был Мир 1992 году и 1993 году?? Тьфу тьфу что за болнье люди вы??
Thank you! Prayers are the only thing still available to Armenians in Artsakh/NK! Nothing else left, no bread, no medication, no gas, no electricity, scarce supply of water ... very disheartening, really...
@@arminep8099 I know. I sit next to a woman at work whose mother is Armenian and father Greek. I have a second cousin, her mother is Greek and my father's first cousin and she married an Armenian man. I've watched the recent documentary on all of this (arch of Denial) that I won't mention here for fear of being blocked. I had to watch it in segments as I couldn't take it. My prayers are with you. I fear all Orthodox Christians in the east will be going down the same road soon. It is obvious. But the suffering of the Armenian people, may CHRIST HAVE MERCY ON ALL OF US who are watching this happen, again.
@@samidorucov8802 the world sami is where it's always been. Of this world. What is happening to the Armenian people has been going on for centuries. It is criminal.
@@samidorucov8802 are you harassing the Armenian people Sami? Huh? I'm trying to understand. If you are, it's haram. It will not go on forever, you know. IT IS THE LAW OF PHYSICS, IT IS THE LAW OF GOD, IT IS PROVEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY. So be careful which waters you wade because you will be drowned in the flood.
This is OUTRAGEOUS! People have the RIGHT TO LIVE!!!!!
Apparently not according to Azeri Turks..
Yes. We bury our kids because the West benefits from Azerbaijan. They are not only starving Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) but they are constantly invading Republic of Armenia as well. Yesterday they attacked Armenia killing 4. And all killings go with kidnapping Armenian females. Even ISIS hasn't done to women what Azeri Turkish soldiers do to us, Armenian women when they attack and invade our country
During the invasion by Azerbaijan of the Armenian lands between September 13 and 14, an Armenian soldier named Anush Apetyan was captured alive by Azerbaijani forces alongside more than 10 Armenian soldiers captured alive, upon the Armenian Ministry of Defense.[3]
After that, the video of torture and mutilation of a woman captured by Azerbaijani soldiers was first released on Telegram and after a while it was found that the woman is the Armenian soldier Anush Apetyan. In that video it was obvious that she had been tortured and mutilated, her legs were cut off, at least one finger was cut off and placed in her mouth, and one eye was poked out and replaced with a stone, and it was while the Azerbaijani soldiers surrounding her were celebrating and mocking her.[4][5][7]

Շնորհակալություն բարոյական աջակցություն ցուցաբերելու համար, սիրելի Սերժ' արցախահության անունից։ Thanks for Supporting us! Greetings from Stepanakert!
It's shocking how it has only really hit here in the UK in the past few days. It's an awful situation and needs something to happen. Sadly, Armenia is inbetween the big countries that enjoy attacking more vulnerable countries. Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia etc.
Wow! Well said. We’re surrounded by sociopaths.
All mentioned countries with extreme ambitions...also historically Russia and Turkey (being rivals) always sorted their relations in between each other with the cost of Armenian lands and people. Famously after the Armenian genocide the bolsheviks presented Armenian lands to Turkey and of course were the ones who created enclave of Nagorno Karabakh with majority of Armenian population within a new Russian-Turkish unity called Azerbaijan.
Lol Stop blaming Russia. It's the USA and the west.
You are all going to learn the hard way over the next 2 years.
@@symbolsarenotreality4595 that's not what I'm trying to say anyway. I'm just trying to say how unfortunate Armenia is currently.
@@lba6859 And innocent lives are lost in the process. It's sucks that Armenia has to deal with that when they aren't even in the fights.
oh shit, i watch the context every evening but i missed this because of the football. i'm glad they picked you as the spokesperson for this issue, as you are probably the most prominent voice on this issue internationally. hopefully more people will notice
Karabakh is Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Serj, the LEGEND!
No reason why anyone should go struggling to starving. We should help one another. Especially the Government's and world leaders around the world. Always had the same views as well Serj Tankian
Thank you for sharing this Serj. Shame this isn't more widespread. I'll do my part.
Let us know if we can do anything to help from Australia Serj! It breaks my heart to see this happening in the modern workd
I am Armenian from Perth and we went on rally today to raise awareness. We need Govt to speak up and condemn like many other countries have done. France has sent 20 lorries of humanitarian help but Azerbaijan doesn't allow it in. Armenian lorries also have been blocked from entering Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). Turkey and Azerbaijan (ethnic Turks) continue policy of Genocide of 1915. Moreover, Turkey silences Australia from telling its people that in 1915 brave Australians risking their lives saved many Christian Armenians and Assyrians from massacre. Every year we say thank you to ANZAC soldiers from saving our people in what is now Turkey but is in fact occupied Armenia and occupied Greece...
@@BeautySavesWorldExactly!
Alex, unfortunately you cannot help them. Azerbaijan tried to help them with humanitarian aid from inside which they rejected, people created barricades on the road in order to not accept that aids. Seems like they are being stubborn to use Laching corridor (which is legally part of Azerbaijan).
@@BenjaminMitchell-w5g yeah I don’t know about that buddy
@@BenjaminMitchell-w5gwill you take or accept food from your enemy who wants you dead? Stop justifying your dictator Aliyev’s action against innocent civilians. I have never seen a country that has the husband as the president and the wife as the vice president 😂😂, people in Azerbaijan have zero human rights because of Aliyev family
Your Soul is clean Mr. Tankian! You have been a lighthouse to the world for many years. May god bless you. You are an honest man that I trust and your words carry weight with me. Peace to you my friend. Keep fighting the good fight! You are one of the few holding a candle in the darkness!
Karabakh is Azerbaijan. 🇦🇿
@@TvGunslingeRvT only for fashist turks and idiot politics who call even Greeks Konstantinopolis with illegal fashist name stumbul. Your dirty Azerbajan was made in this region only in 1918 by Russo - Turkish fashist inviders of South Kaukaz, Karabakh origin name Artsakh is many thousands years the heart of Armenia

GOD bless you and be with you and the Armenian people. I haven't listened to much punk and metal music anymore, but used to listen to System, and started bumping them a little bit, reading about the group, hearing the differences in the band, hmmmm.... But now this. 😐 It's a travesty. LORD GOD bless these people and be with them!!!!!!!!
Serj and Artak, shat shat shnoravor
По больше бы таких людей в мире ❤
Oh. Thank you ❤
Thanks Serj ❤
I am down to get some press credentials and go over there and investigate and help get this out to the world. I would just need some funding help.
Legit. Tons of people investigating from the region from multiple nations. Armenians are refusing to take aid. There is no crisis.
@truthhousejack8354 So you're gonna fund my trip to ensure with my own eyes? You can join! Either way, one of us will have to change our thoughts on this and reveal the truth. Actually, it sounds kinda interesting.
Yeah, no one is refusing aid. Even French Humanitarian aid is stuck there. The fact of the matter is Genocide, again.
@@truthhousejack8354such a lie.
@@truthhousejack8354 You Azeri are beheading our people and calling it "help" You are doing to our women what even ISIS hasn't done to any woman and you call it "help"

Free Artsakh✊️
Everything Turkic governments have done through history was all about stealing, invading, and genocide. And they are still doing so, no matter we live in a modern, civilized world
Love and peace from Iran💚🤍❤️♥️🧡💙❤️

Thanks to Serj and Artak! Standing for the right case and supporting the people in the Blockade 🙏

Shame on the U.K to do trading with a dictatorship
Увек су британци правили зло и продавали друге народе! Ми Срби знамо да нам је Британска власт и служба највећи непријатељ! Исто се сада ради Србима на Косову и Метохији !
United we stand ❤
Thanks
Please God help these people.
Artsakh is an integral part of historic Armenia 🇦🇲 ❤.BBC shame on you. Artak Beglaryan is in STEPANAKERT, NOT KHANKENDI.
Он до этого и находился бредзоре и агаВно 😂😂 а арайк очкорик часто побывал карпачар хуйчачаре ну что??
It's a pity that the orginal Armenian genocide in many countries is STILL not recognised to this day.
LOL
Yes 30 + and counting more each year. We’ll never stop honoring our people’s memories.
@@AlperShalshut up
does it mean that you have one original genocide and one fake genocide?
Come to Brazil, Serj!
ele precisa vir 🇧🇷🥺❤️
Watched Context for the first time tonight. Christian Fraser is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual shallow rubbish the BBC puts out! What a relief, we actually watched the whole programme without turning it over and now the context is being recorded on our sky box every night. Brilliant, thanks BBC (can’t believe I just wrote that). GREAT JOB CHRISTIAN FRASER
Thank you
We love you Serj!
It’s obvious BBC is on which side “How many people are still there” he is asking what is the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
People of Republic of #Artsakh and their ancestors have never been citizens of a country called #Azerbaijan and never paid taxes to #Baku . It is not only unjust but also criminal & genocidal to suggest that Azerbaijan's territorial integrity includes #NagornoKarabakh
You can’t just grab land from other countries. Respect the territorial integrity & sovereignty.
Oh sorry you did that in 1993 just because Azeris were not as powerful as today. You just need to get out of the land that doesn’t belong to you. Or obey the rules.
Was it not the same when Stalin “gifted” those lands to Azerbaijan? It’s only right to reclaim those lands.
@@arpiohanjanyan7184they are all very “kind” at the cost of other nations. When SSSR had been broken, Arthsakh had a referendum and legally separated from Azerbaijan.
@@truthhousejack8354no one grabbed it, but it was legally separated from Azerbaijan. Your “power” includes 5 countries ( Turkish, Russia, Pakistan, Israel, Azerbaijan against one small Armenian.
@@gold-fh8wv it’s more like Armenia, Iran , Russia and India. All bad guys on the street came together.
We want to help Armenia.. Now we must come together and figure out how.
There are very simple steps. Stop investing into the dictatorship, e.g. stop all BP operations in Azerbaijan, get rid of corrupted mps like bob blackman, sanction the aliyev and his family.
I support for Artsakh free!!!. The civilized wold should support them
Sucks that central Asia is picking on Arnemia just because they aren’t an autocracy. Invaders need to be rebuffed.
Long live S.O.A.D🙏
Serj, nice work on getting this on the air.
Shame on BBC for being so late in informing us about this disaster. What the government is doing?
Surj I hope you make it maybe blessed and I hope you I hope you figure everything out have a blessed rest of your time on this Earth
Молодцы!!!!Серж красава!!! Так держать))))
It's unfortunate that it had to come to this for the world to understand who the crooks are in this dispute. Oil funds and caviar diplomacy will only take you so far.
What are you talking? Armenia are allies with Iran who are the worst in that region? Like come on, read and do some research before you talk about a topic like this
@@Gengchen82Are you Azerbaijani? You sure sound like one. Armenians aren’t plotting anything with Iran, there are a lot of Armenians living in Iran no thanks to the Genocide of 1915. Armenia does not attack and has not attacked anyone in centuries. They are victims of two surrounding governments (moreso dictatorships) fueled by nationalism and the aim to continue the Genocide of 1915. This is evident by the multiple attacks and pogroms since then, the ongoing blockade, attacks into sovereign Armenia, the attacks in 2020, so on and so forth.
According to United Nations the territory is Azerbaijan territory. Dont play the victim bro. Occupying territory is the same shit like attacking, dont try to fool. 99% of the planet sees it as a territory of Azerbaijan, so what is your problem? @@Aliiii831
There is no such city as Khankendi. It should be Vararakn.
I’m surprised that BBC did this interview, that’s great! What’s not great though is still calling Nagorno-Karabakh for Azerbaijani and the names being in Azerbaijani and not it’s Armenian name, even though all this is happening.
I'm a clueless American, what is the Armenian name?
@@VibrantG4mer the Armenian name for the capital is Stepanakert (not Kahnkendi), Shushi (not Shusha), etc.
@@VibrantG4merArmenian name for the “Nagorno-Karabakh” region is Artsakh. This region was illegally given to AZ after the fall of the USSR even though it is 99% ethnically Armenian. It won its independence after war by an almost unanimous vote in the 90’s. This land is historically Armenian for not centuries, but actually thousands of years. There is proof in not only churches, but other artifacts found as well. Hope this helps.
Our media doesn't cover it, but that doesn't mean we're not paying attention.
Where are the incompetent of ONU?
Hang in there Serj.
Artsakh belongs to its 150k indigenous Armenians, not to fascist Azerbaijan. The people of Artsakh legally seceded from Azerbaijan SSR in full compliance with Soviet and international law in 1991. Artsakh today celebrates its 32nd anniversary of independence!
Кроснаджарт Сочикерт тоже дрефный армянский земли там тоже много дрефный динозавры обитают как ты
Very well said Serj !! UK should say something to Azerbaijan.. BBC should report what is going on in Karabakh..this is the first time I hear BBC covering this conflict. First christian nation is being starved ..we don't want another Genocide happening to Armenians in 1915.
❤💙🧡

Thanks for threatening the BBC over this interview, Press Council of Azerbaijan - I wasn't aware this interview even existed before you had a tantrum about it.
If the purpose is "humanitarian aid" why don't u ask them to use another road Aghdam - Khankendi?
Why should they use that road, when in the agreement signed in 2020 it clearly says that th Lachin road must be used? Why does your dictator breach all the agreements? Reminds me of another dictator.who doesn't keep his promises.
Artsakh strong!
Кроснаджарт
#ArtsakhStrong
The azeri have no soul.
All muslims also
You keep calling fartsakh. There is no such place.
Dear BBC, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh is called Stepanakert, not "Khankandi."
Remedial secession is the only solution.
Why is the BBC using an Azerbaijan name for Stepanakert, Khankendi?
🇳🇱🇷🇸 ❤ 🇦🇲
ALL HAIL SERJ
🙏🙏🙏
💕🇦🇲🇦🇲✊ Arcax is Armenia
Кроснаджарт сочикерт тоже 😢😢
As long as this planet exists, Armenians they shall exist too, none can erase us, no power except God can destroy this ethnic group, because our strength is a strength from Universe and God and we are full of Love and Hope, they will continue to survive no matter the circustance, no matter if they loose all, at the end of the day an Armenian has a Spirit of a warrior, a survivor who knows to adapt well in any environment.
Armenians are unbreakable, invincible!! Deal with it, this is the Truth, as we have done for centuries, nations and kingdoms have come and gone, but Armenians will always stand strong cause our strength is LOVE in our hearts and our Faith, if none has understood it they are ignorant, because an Armenian always strives for Universal Unity and peace be it conscious or unconscious. We Fear no one. Shalom from Armenia to Humanoids❤
