As of today 97,700 Armenians from Artskah have been forcefully displaced NOT fled from their historical homeland. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) defines 'forced displacement' as follows: displaced "as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence or human rights violations". Aliyev's despotic regime claim that its troops can guarantee the security of Armenians of Artsakh totally contradicts the reality. The following image demonstrates the badge that the Azerbaijani soldiers are wearing on their arms in Artsakh. It reads in Azerbaijani "qaçma Erməni, sadəcə yorğun öləcəksən" meaning "Don't run Armenian you'll just die of exhaustion!" The image on the badge is that of Enver Pasha the Minister of War during WWI and one of the chief architects of the Armenian Genocide. Which Armenian in Artsakh do you think would trust these troops with their lives? They say "don't judge the book by its cover". In this case you should judge the book, every single page, the footnotes, and the index even by its cover.
Azerbaijan is a criminal state inhabited by barbarians in the guise of humans.
A dozen comments just disappeared. What's going on with that?
Nous arméniens n’en sommes pas surpris. Que le reste du monde le sache !
Tragic!

9moUnbelievable, seriously unbelievable.... All the gullible Armenians who think that others might protect them, look at the photo and weep. Can't rely on anyone. Need to unite under one cause, put our different views aside (should we align with the West or the East) and prepare to defend ourselves so ferociously that no pathetic power like the Azeris would dare to ever attack.
