Armenians are an old nation that has a big historical heritage and deserves respect for that. It is a country that many centuries ago was the first to adopt Christianity. All will be OK, if it lives by the true faith, eradicating corruption, promoting justice, freedom and being a good example to other nations.

Isn't Azerbaijan just a breakaway group from Iran? Azeris were tribes in Iran, right? Shiaa, like Iranians, not Sunni Turkey. Isn't the word Azerbaijan a Persian word? So all a new creation anyhow.
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.
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 👏🏻

Who can Armenia count on? Now it is time to count on Turkiye and Azerbaijan for Armenia. Make Turkiye Azerbaijan Georgia and Armenia a free trade and travel area like EU. Win and win for everyone.
With Turkey and Azerbaijan talking about taking over Armenia, naming streets and checkpoints after the authors of the Armenian genocide, and spouting pan-Turkic rhetoric (and how Armenia stands in the way of this Turkish Third Reich), this will be impossible.

Correct, look at when Azeris killed forced to leave their own land in 1990s compared to Armenians leaving Karabakh with comfort in Mercedes cars. Its all karma, what you did, will come to you sooner or later!

“European values” you just said Richard ? Occupying your neighbour’s territories for 30 years and ethnically cleansing that area are the signs of European values ?
Both Armenia and NK became democracies after that. Democracy Index: Armenia 82/167 turkey 103/167 azerbaijan 144/167 (And Freedom House democracy percentage of 1.19%). azerbaijan compares with Myanmar, Afghanistan and North Korea. Armenia compares with Eastern Europe countries.
@@peacewillprevail1 And before that Armenia and Artsakh have been democratic! Azeris are ethnic Turks and there is no "Azerbaijani" land in Artsakh. Have a look at Strabo's maps and Strabo's works. He describes Kingdom of Armenia and talks about Artsakh saying Armenians were sending best horses to Assyria from Artsakh. Armenians are indigenous in Artsakh but Moscow cut off Artsakh and its people in 1921 and illegally handed over to Azerbaijan which was created in 1918. Since then Muslim Azeri Turks rape, behead Armenians up today...Yes, we are small, democratic society with European values...We always say Europe starts with Artsakh and we fight for freedom, Christianity and European values!!

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.
Armenians were settled on the lands of Azerbaijan in the last 200 years as a result of the mass resettlement of Armenians during the Russian-Iranian War of 1804-1813, 1826-1828, and the Russian-Turkish War of 1828-1829, as well as subsequently from Iran, Turkey, and South Azerbaijan to the South Caucasus, their number here began to increase every year.
Frankly speaking, Armenia can and should count on itself. There's a saying Its far better to negotiate with your enemy than to bribe the witness. Armenia could actually make peace with Azerbaijan and Turkey and play a key role in the gas corridor, along with Georgia. 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.
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.
Good point. And if it’s going to go with a foreign patron, the US would be a far superior choice than framce, who is busy surrendering to its former colonies in Africa and fleeing!
Laurent is beyond biased. There is no objectivity in anything he said. He is an ethnic Armenian and will say whatever benefits his side. The Armenians left by choice, something they didn't give the Azeri's when they forced them out back in 1990 at the barrel of guns. No wonder the Armenians are running, after how they treated the Azeri's, they have great fear. KArma, some call it! You'll never hear about that since that doesn't generate views.
No one leaves their home by choice specially living there all their life. Let’s call it at what it is. It is a genocide it as they say ethnic cleansing. History repeats again.
You forget about the months long siege and the "anti-terrorist operation". They did not leave by choice, and they are not a homogenous population to Armenia proper. Laurent is an ethnic Armenian, just like Abusov is an ethnic Azeri who even lives in Azerbaijan, yet the latter is not included in your rant. Armenians have committed war crimes in the conflict. However, this is not something they can boast about, it is not applauded by Armenians, it is not posted on mainstream social media but rather it circulates on obscure channels. Azeris on the contrary, are proud of their warcrimes, and openly post them on regular social media. You can look up their warcrimes right now, and you won't have any trouble finding stories and even videos with a simple search. Not only are they not ashamed of what they did, the Azeri commenters applaud and defend what they did. There isn't a single true statement in your entire comment. The things you mention are not even hard to verify, you just rely on the fact that people are uninterested or too lazy to look it up.
14:40 "with time"? It has been almost 50 years since Turkey occupied 34% of Cyprus territory, but Turkish population of the occupied territory still don't "peacefully coexist" with Cypriots.

They’re testing their own medicine. Please don’t forget in 1992 Arminians they committed genocide against Azerbaijan’s and thank god some of those criminals captured by Azerbaijan’s security forces and they’re in Baku. Hopefully, they will pay their crimes…
7:20 graves of the loved ones?? Do you have any idea how many graves of the loved ones Azerbaijanis left in the 90s?! I had a high school friend who could never visit her grandparents because she became refugee!
Unfortunately Armenian participants didn’t mention that Artzakh had never, for one day lived under azeri governance. Those supposedly “harmonious” times when Armenians and Azeris lived together, were during Soviet times under watchful eye of the Kremlin and this superior authorities wouldn’t allow any ethnic discontent. However Armenians of Artzskh asked the Kremlin many times to correct the unjust decision by Stalin to give Artzskh to azer and let them unite with Armenia. We are living now the consequences of that criminal politics of divide and conquer conducted by Bolsheviks

In the context of land regulations, after the downfall of the Soviet Union, neither side compromised to come to a peaceful solution. And it's now the west's fault that things like this and previous atrocities (from both countries) were happening? Full stop! That the UN is too late and Russia didn't step up is a tragedy! Recognized territories mean you're not entitled to grab some of it by force, just like Russia did, Armenia. That also doesn't mean someone has the right to oppress and do ethnic cleansing afterwards, when recapturing its territory. It's all and foremost Armenia's and Azerbaijan's responsibility to act after international law, both have agreed on, and that in a humanistic way! Both countries scream faul and want support from the world when "things" happened there, but are unable to solve this problem between themselves. Do better, Armenia and Azerbaijan!
5 июля 1921 года на пленуме Кавказского бюро РКП(б) было принято решение оставить (Повторяю ОСТАВИТЬ а не дать Азербайджану) Нагорный Карабах в пределах Азербайджанской ССР, предоставив ему широкую областную автономию. Административным центром региона был установлен город Шуша. В 1923 году из населённой армянами части Нагорного Карабаха в составе Азербайджанской ССР была образована Автономная область Нагорного Карабаха (АОНК), а административный центр был перенесён в селение Ханкенди, позже переименованное в Степанакерт. В 1937 году АОНК была преобразована в Нагорно-Карабахскую автономную область (НКАО).

Dismantling Democracy in Nagorno Karabakh is also an act of Ethnic Cleansing!!! And the Professor confuses Nationalism and Self-determination!!!!! And Ethnic Cleansing is Not Legal!!! And in Azerbaijan's case the Victim becomes the Aggressor... And they should have Left the People of Nagorno Karabakh alone under Self Rule!!!!! Azerbaijan had recaptured the majority Azerbaijani areas in 2020 so they already had the right to Return, It was Completely Unnecessary to Conquer Nagorno Karabakh!!! The Azerbaijani Leadership only did it because they are Power Hungry Tyrant's!!!
Nagorno Karabakh Territory was liberated by its owner and the Armenian occupier has no choice but to live and respect the sovereign state of Azerbaijan, like any other country which has an Armenian minority, Western propaganda shows the Armenian executioner as a victim, Armenia has occupied Azeri territories and massacred tens of thousands of Azeris and cleansed a million Azeris from their own territory for 32 years. Two weights, two measures.
It feels like France’s biggest problem is Azerbaijan’s internal issue. Azerbaijan and France are not neighbors, neither France has any substantial interest in the region, but it feels like French government has resolved all the problems of French people and now since they have nothing better to do, they involve themselves in Azerbaijan’s internal issues or a conflict with Armenia. Small Armenian population in France has more influence over french government than french themselves. I thought people elect governments to deal with the problems of their own people, rather than stick their nose in other countries’ problems.

As a refugee from Armenia I can not stand to see double standards by France! People must be informed that Armenian separatists forced Azerbaijanis of Karabakh to flee for their lives! Armenian separatists occupied Karabakh and 7 surrounding regions that is not Karabakh for 30 years. Azerbaijan wanted to return its territory by peace however Armenians picked war over the peace! Well they got what they were looking for. Azerbaijani army liberated almost all occupied lands! Viva Azerbaijan! Armenia must learn to live in peace with its neighbors! I want to return my homeland Armenia after more than 35 years of displacement! I am from Ararat, Armenia!

France FM was dead wrong today stating publicly that Armenians were forced to leave illegally occupied Azeri’s land. Azeri NEVER expelled those Armenians who were illegally occupying Azeri's land, which they should leave it anyway! I am being natural and obviously nothing to gain or lose or zero connection to Azeri people, but it is about being right or wrong and being fair with the fact: Armenians left voluntarily beside they were illegally occupying Azari's land and WHY can Azeri people who owned their land can return to their ancestors’ homeland, France FM? Trying to get a new ally to sell France weapons is underlying France's reason for suddenly supporting Armenia and that unspoken reason Nobody is willing to point out and admit it! The cold facts are black and white and let us get straight facts once for all that bunch of Armenians who were illegally occupying Azeri people's land for a long time (should even owe compensation to Azeri’s people!), and drove Azeri people, hello France FM?

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.
Hey ,maybe just maybe the Azerbaijanis will be best friends and allies to Armenians than other countries in west and east ,you’ll never know ,let’s wait and see.
If they keep our historical landmarks istrictly intact and safe from harm, and protect our culture, we're happy to cooperate. We do not want our past to be destroyed. I think Azerbaijan and Armenia should come to an agreement and condemn Russia for everything they did. They are the main cause for this. But it all depends on the governments and the people in charge of those respective countries.
Good one. Your government has been doing everything to make that a possibility by removing the righful owners of that land, the Armenians. So go ask your government now to help bring Azerbaijanies to that area.
Fortunately, Karabakh Azerbaijanis that forcedly displaced by the Armenian forces during the First Karabakh War will be able to return to their homelands. Hundreds of Azerbaijanis were massacred and near a million were ethnically cleansed by Armenia. Khocaly massacre was the most horrific and inhumane part of the Armenian aggresion!
Pasenenyan must resign and Armenia must be loyal to Russia if it wants to exist at all. The decision to reject Russia and to depend on the USA is a great mistake by which Armenia lost Nagorno Karabakh and about to lose also the southern part of Armenia itself.
If Armenia wants to survive it needs good relations with Russia. If it wants to thrive it needs good relations with Russia and Turkey. It doesn't need good relations with either if it wants to vanish.
ok, go for it. oh right, Azerbaijan and the rest of the Turks punish the West. Oh look we are doing pipeline repair, it will be out between November to April. Then Turks did full uprisings all over French colonies and territories. France is dying son, they need real friends, not make-up ones.
I saw how this media tried to point in a direction that azerbaijan is blamed for this situation. As I know the leader of Azerbaijan has made statesments that the people of Karabah is citizen of azerbaijan abd they had given choices: to stay and join to Azerbaijan or they can leave to armenia. So, what happen now is their choice... So in my opinion this media is trying make propaganda and trying to make boiling situation for eachother.
Imposing another nationality is a way of genocide do you know that? It is their history their land their culture how do you impose another nationality in the 21st century ?
Why don’t they say that the Armenian separatists were involved in drug trafficking in Karabakh? Representatives of international organizations saw all this for themselves.

@@DABmonger If Armenia and Azerbaijan have trustworthy government officials who are willing to compromise with each other, it could happen.

We are deeply connected to our culture and fear losing it. We almost lost it during the Armenian Genocide during the first world war. We're mainly paranoid and agitated about that.
Same thing that happened to the houses of Armenians of the Armenian Highland that Turkey now occupies after the first Armenian Genocide. Turks and Kurds stole and are living in those houses, one of those houses is now the very house that Erdogan lives in, the presidential palace.
Let them into France then if you feel sorry for them! Allow them to claim the Frebch soil as the ancient land of armenia from the times of Neanderthals
They have their own country which is a luxury that that many nations equally old and ancient do not have. They should live in Armenia if they were not willing to integrate in Azerbaijan.
Nobody will hike up Armenia from this mud. the only country that Armenia can count on is Azerbaijan. let them be polite, silent, and respectful of other neighboring countries and behave as a guest, and never forget that all Armenian territory is a historical Azerbaijani land
I have never seen such 'self-imposed ethnic cleansing' by any ethnic group. Probably the national guilt of the crimes committed during first Karabakh conflict has convinced them of imminent retribution.
Like Ukraine, any false move by the Armenians will result in the lost of territories to the Azeris in the South, the North to the Russians. Armenia will ceased to exist. Like it or not, there's nothing the West can do about it.
In all honesty the Armenia and Azeri situation reminds me of the tortoise and the hare story. Armenia kept screwing around for years while the Azeris smartly built its military force. And very easily defeated the Armenians. This was actually one of the best military conquests and war ended in less than 44 days. Armenia was left scrambling asking for help, everybody gave lip service. And they now shift to those who will turn its back on them once again. Poor leadership in Armenia. 🤦♂️
The Amrenian army didn't fight during the conquest of Nagorno-karabakh, only a smaller regional force, right? Considering the huge difference in wealth between the two sides (with Turkey supporting one), the military build-up couldn't be matched.
western siding will prove to be even worse for Armenia as they are surrounded by countries that doesn’t support them, they are landlocked,,, the one country that supports them is Iran which is a hard enemy of west,,, so in case of war a full scale military support for Armenia is impossible.

Armenians are an old nation that has a big historical heritage and deserves respect for that. It is a country that many centuries ago was the first to adopt Christianity. All will be OK, if it lives by the true faith, eradicating corruption, promoting justice, freedom and being a good example to other nations.

MAIN PROBLEM is that Armenians never respected Azeris or were willing yo treat them equally.
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.
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 👏🏻

Armenians were settled on the lands of Azerbaijan in the last 200 years as a result of the mass resettlement of Armenians during the Russian-Iranian War of 1804-1813, 1826-1828, and the Russian-Turkish War of 1828-1829, as well as subsequently from Iran, Turkey, and South Azerbaijan to the South Caucasus, their number here began to increase every year.

Frankly speaking, Armenia can and should count on itself. There's a saying Its far better to negotiate with your enemy than to bribe the witness. Armenia could actually make peace with Azerbaijan and Turkey and play a key role in the gas corridor, along with Georgia. 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.
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.
Good point. And if it’s going to go with a foreign patron, the US would be a far superior choice than framce, who is busy surrendering to its former colonies in Africa and fleeing!
Turks wants them washed out from the face of the earth.
in an ideal world but Turkey and Azerbaijan defacto one country wants to destroy Armenia proper and envelop it into one mass Ottoman empire.
Excellent & most pertinent comments
Laurent is beyond biased. There is no objectivity in anything he said. He is an ethnic Armenian and will say whatever benefits his side. The Armenians left by choice, something they didn't give the Azeri's when they forced them out back in 1990 at the barrel of guns. No wonder the Armenians are running, after how they treated the Azeri's, they have great fear. KArma, some call it! You'll never hear about that since that doesn't generate views.

You forget about the months long siege and the "anti-terrorist operation". They did not leave by choice, and they are not a homogenous population to Armenia proper. Laurent is an ethnic Armenian, just like Abusov is an ethnic Azeri who even lives in Azerbaijan, yet the latter is not included in your rant. Armenians have committed war crimes in the conflict. However, this is not something they can boast about, it is not applauded by Armenians, it is not posted on mainstream social media but rather it circulates on obscure channels. Azeris on the contrary, are proud of their warcrimes, and openly post them on regular social media. You can look up their warcrimes right now, and you won't have any trouble finding stories and even videos with a simple search. Not only are they not ashamed of what they did, the Azeri commenters applaud and defend what they did. There isn't a single true statement in your entire comment. The things you mention are not even hard to verify, you just rely on the fact that people are uninterested or too lazy to look it up.

Recognized territories mean you're not entitled to grab some of it by force, just like Russia did, Armenia. That also doesn't mean someone has the right to oppress and do ethnic cleansing afterwards, when recapturing its territory. It's all and foremost Armenia's and Azerbaijan's responsibility to act after international law, both have agreed on, and that in a humanistic way! Both countries scream faul and want support from the world when "things" happened there, but are unable to solve this problem between themselves. Do better, Armenia and Azerbaijan!
5 июля 1921 года на пленуме Кавказского бюро РКП(б) было принято решение оставить (Повторяю ОСТАВИТЬ а не дать Азербайджану) Нагорный Карабах в пределах Азербайджанской ССР, предоставив ему широкую областную автономию. Административным центром региона был установлен город Шуша. В 1923 году из населённой армянами части Нагорного Карабаха в составе Азербайджанской ССР была образована Автономная область Нагорного Карабаха (АОНК), а административный центр был перенесён в селение Ханкенди, позже переименованное в Степанакерт. В 1937 году АОНК была преобразована в Нагорно-Карабахскую автономную область (НКАО).

The cold facts are black and white and let us get straight facts once for all that bunch of Armenians who were illegally occupying Azeri people's land for a long time (should even owe compensation to Azeri’s people!), and drove Azeri people, hello France FM? In fact, every single 1-of Arminian has zero right to stay in Azeri land indeed! Case closed and zero room for making fuss and dirty lie about ethnic cleansing forced explosion are dead wrong and incorrect France FM should know better say such unwise and immature words Yes NO one should blame Azeri leader for skipping the scheduled meeting that has shown unacceptable and unfair biased agenda underneath Azari leader detected wisely and pulled out as anyone with common sense would (!), (plus disingenuous peace talk might attempt to shove into Azer’s people’s will!), against Azeri people based on France’s FM public speech! I wonder who set up the so-called peace treaty meeting? USA
That was quite an election turnout where 100k+ people voted with their feet 🦶 to just up and leave to Armenia 🇦🇲.
What they did 25 years ago, they were aspect the reciprocal.

Congratulations to Azerbaijan
Thank you France, thank you France 24!🇫🇷 France is a country very close to Armenian hearts, has been and will be and we have no doubt that with the expulsion of Russian aggressors we will be able to formalise our special relationship in many formats. God Bless France, God Bless Armenia! 🙏
Russia was very close to armenian hearts for centuries, too. Now time to look for a new sugar daddy i guess
France is a country who will turn its back on you. Last time I checked they didn’t even lift a baby finger.
Long live Armenians, they have a new father 😂😂😂😂
This is an unfair attitude. Why don't you talk about how Armenian forces killed thousands of Azerbaijani children and women in the early '90s? Why don't you mention that they expelled nearly a million Azerbaijanis from their ancestral homes? Why don't you talk about the fact that this territory belongs to Azerbaijan?
They were not forced. They all have Armenian passports and returned home
Nagornyi Karabakh is Armenia, sure, they had Armenian passports. Their home was there.
@@ronnrd5937 no
@@ronnrd5937 nice try dude, those people did not even exist before 1989 even with ussr records. nice try.
@@dd-uy5lxDid you just say Armenians didn't exist before 1989 in the region? Ok, so now it's clear why Azerbaijan's government is able to brainwash their people so easily. Nobody reads real historical records. Wow.
I am sure Holocaust was also choice of a people. What a foolish comment.
Help Armenia
Its a great country one of the oldest
With kindest people and interesting culture

Peace for this great nation❤
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.
Go and help those criminal individuals, armenians... why are you crying? by sitting????
Ok we re coming😂
Azerbaijan liberated its legitimate territories from separatists. He released more than humanely in relation to the аrmenian separatists.
I loved the perfect analysis and articulation of Richard Giragosian!
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.
Great presentation.
Well, if Armenians do not want to "surrender to family dynasty" they don't have to return.
Who can Armenia count on? Definitely not Russia.
nobody is forced to flee as Azerbaijani people were forced to flee in 90s. France as usual just serves the diaspora lies.
There are so many Armenians in the studio and one Azerbaijani.
France is uncapable to help armenia. Is just soft power and empty words from France. Azerbaïdjan has all the cards today.
Seeking help from colonial powers??? What a joke.
Hey ,maybe just maybe the Azerbaijanis will be best friends and allies to Armenians than other countries in west and east ,you’ll never know ,let’s wait and see.
If they keep our historical landmarks istrictly intact and safe from harm, and protect our culture, we're happy to cooperate. We do not want our past to be destroyed. I think Azerbaijan and Armenia should come to an agreement and condemn Russia for everything they did. They are the main cause for this. But it all depends on the governments and the people in charge of those respective countries.
Silly boy
I think, France will be taken refugees and settled them in France. It is matter of humanity and I hope, France will be done.
I wish they take these 100K Armenian and we will have Parshak soon.
one sided news, please help one million Azari to return home in Karabakh.
Good one. Your government has been doing everything to make that a possibility by removing the righful owners of that land, the Armenians. So go ask your government now to help bring Azerbaijanies to that area.
Azeri bot detected
Fortunately, Karabakh Azerbaijanis that forcedly displaced by the Armenian forces during the First Karabakh War will be able to return to their homelands. Hundreds of Azerbaijanis were massacred and near a million were ethnically cleansed by Armenia. Khocaly massacre was the most horrific and inhumane part of the Armenian aggresion!
So, the most viable solution to this decades-long conflict was finally found by the inhabitants of the region…..
Pasenenyan must resign and Armenia must be loyal to Russia if it wants to exist at all. The decision to reject Russia and to depend on the USA is a great mistake by which Armenia lost Nagorno Karabakh and about to lose also the southern part of Armenia itself.
If Armenia wants to survive it needs good relations with Russia. If it wants to thrive it needs good relations with Russia and Turkey. It doesn't need good relations with either if it wants to vanish.
😂
Report says ppl were hungry for several years?
*EU should sanction Alıyev ✊🇪🇺🇺🇲*
ok, go for it. oh right, Azerbaijan and the rest of the Turks punish the West. Oh look we are doing pipeline repair, it will be out between November to April. Then Turks did full uprisings all over French colonies and territories. France is dying son, they need real friends, not make-up ones.
But they won't tough , Azerbaijan is an ally of Israel
It's too late. It's useless. There are no people in Nagorno Kharabakh. Fake mission.
Last thing Armenia needs is bed bugs 😂
I saw how this media tried to point in a direction that azerbaijan is blamed for this situation. As I know the leader of Azerbaijan has made statesments that the people of Karabah is citizen of azerbaijan abd they had given choices: to stay and join to Azerbaijan or they can leave to armenia. So, what happen now is their choice... So in my opinion this media is trying make propaganda and trying to make boiling situation for eachother.
Imposing another nationality is a way of genocide do you know that? It is their history their land their culture how do you impose another nationality in the 21st century ?
If there is no Azerbaijani in Armenia then why there should be Armenians in Azerbaijan? That's not fair for Azerbaijan.
When Alyiev has made you leave out of fear of ethnic cleansing - that is ethnic cleansing
Russians don't care. Why should we? 😅
More poor countries to sell your archaic weapons
Who are you?

Why don’t they say that the Armenian separatists were involved in drug trafficking in Karabakh? Representatives of international organizations saw all this for themselves.
We are there for you AZERBAIJAN ❤
who can armenia count on? the AMERICANS! good luck tho
What is going to happen with the vacated houses in terms of ownership and maintenance?
What happened to the houses azerbejians used to own
@@user-qf6dx4to2i I wasn't taking sides - it's just a logical question that I'd like the answer to out of interest
A promise has been made to the Armenians. Of course no Azeris should have had to leave their homes in the past.
In an ideal world Armenians & Azeris will live together in NK, but it's unlikely to happen of course.
@@DABmonger its not gonna happen , because of the countries like france , they just divide ppl and make them to fight eachother , if you look at Libya now you can understand what İ mean , same ppl , same family , same religion but they keep fighting eachother, france and the others would not like this countries to be strong , in the İWW france asked the armenians to fight with Ottoman but how many centruies Ottoman and armenians lived together without any problem , this is the reality armenians attacked kurds and turks in the begining , when Ottoman start to fight back armenians asked france to supply the weapons as france promised but france didnt give them nothing , at the moment they push greece to fight with Turks, i hope its not gonna happen but if it happens millions of ppl going to fight eachother
@@DABmonger If Armenia and Azerbaijan have trustworthy government officials who are willing to compromise with each other, it could happen. But right now, there are many historical artifacts and buildings left behind there that belonged to Armenian's ancestors before this, so if Azerbaijan promises on their life to keep these historical landmarks intact, then there might be a chance for Armenia to cooperate. We are deeply connected to our culture and fear losing it. We almost lost it during the Armenian Genocide during the first world war. We're mainly paranoid and agitated about that.
Same thing that happened to the houses of Armenians of the Armenian Highland that Turkey now occupies after the first Armenian Genocide. Turks and Kurds stole and are living in those houses, one of those houses is now the very house that Erdogan lives in, the presidential palace.
Azerbaijan should have mentioned that all of Nagorno-Karabakh and its population now belong to Azerbaijan.
Let them into France then if you feel sorry for them! Allow them to claim the Frebch soil as the ancient land of armenia from the times of Neanderthals
They have their own country which is a luxury that that many nations equally old and ancient do not have. They should live in Armenia if they were not willing to integrate in Azerbaijan.
Nobody will hike up Armenia from this mud. the only country that Armenia can count on is Azerbaijan. let them be polite, silent, and respectful of other neighboring countries and behave as a guest, and never forget that all Armenian territory is a historical Azerbaijani land
Richard Giragosian, You said everything correctly, bravo! Thanks France.
I have never seen such 'self-imposed ethnic cleansing' by any ethnic group. Probably the national guilt of the crimes committed during first Karabakh conflict has convinced them of imminent retribution.
Well said
Like Ukraine, any false move by the Armenians will result in the lost of territories to the Azeris in the South, the North to the Russians. Armenia will ceased to exist.
Like it or not, there's nothing the West can do about it.
In all honesty the Armenia and Azeri situation reminds me of the tortoise and the hare story. Armenia kept screwing around for years while the Azeris smartly built its military force. And very easily defeated the Armenians. This was actually one of the best military conquests and war ended in less than 44 days. Armenia was left scrambling asking for help, everybody gave lip service. And they now shift to those who will turn its back on them once again. Poor leadership in Armenia. 🤦♂️
The Amrenian army didn't fight during the conquest of Nagorno-karabakh, only a smaller regional force, right? Considering the huge difference in wealth between the two sides (with Turkey supporting one), the military build-up couldn't be matched.
Here France is a chaos creator.
western siding will prove to be even worse for Armenia as they are surrounded by countries that doesn’t support them, they are landlocked,,, the one country that supports them is Iran which is a hard enemy of west,,, so in case of war a full scale military support for Armenia is impossible.
