#Brussels or #Washington can make a call to #Aliyev & order him to comply with international #humanitarian laws.

"Strongly supports" or "deeply concerned" statements mean nothing for sadistic #dictator, who is literally subjecting to starvation the entire population of #Artsakh.

#EU renews its call to #Azerbaijan to ensure unrestricted movement of people & goods via #Lachin corridor, in return Azerbaijan provokes & shells #Armenian positions wounding 2 soldiers.

Cucumbers, cucumbers, cucumbers and more cucumbers!

This one is on a 50L soil bag (bought from the shop and just opened the bag and planted the seedling in it.

Already had 4 cucumbers from it and these 2 are ready and many more growing really fast.

I will definitely don't need to buy tomatoes until September or October this year and will have plenty of delicious ones to eat.

Unfortunately, all the #Armenian #cucumbers were destroyed by the soil gnats and I'm thinking about starting a couple of new ones for the second hydroponic unit. I just love those crunchy ones.

The other 2 pictures are of the small ones growing. Unfortunately, I have to hand pollinate all the time because I'm on the 6th floor of an apartment and only seen one pollinator this year.

Online sources reporting from #Armenia say that #Azeei forces have started moving into #Nakhjavabn and already taken control of the strategic Lachin path that connects Iran to Armenia.

#Azeebaijan dictator who received blessings from #US state department #Blinken last week has now officially started the feared military action against #Nakkhjavan in order to "liberate" it from #Armenian occupiers ".

Freaking #Biddn is forcing a war against Armenia knowing they can not win against the much stronger Turkey/Israeli backed Azerbaijan.

This is really depressing.

Finally found the variety of #Armenian #Cucumber I have been looking for.

Asked in an Iranian group about it and got a lot of answers that I have already tried, then someone mentioned "Painted Serpent cucumber" and searching the web, I cam across this guy who had some info about them

This delectable cuke may also be called the serpent melon, and the plain, light green type is known as the Armenian cucumber.
Now I have to find a seller in Europe who can deliver them fast hoping to be able to grow them this summer, they take up to 72 days to mature.

Since mid-December, #Azerbaijanis have blocked a road to protest what they claim is illegal mining in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Residents of the Armenian-populated breakaway region describe nearly empty shelves and accuse #Baku of manufacturing a crisis.

The region of around 120,000 people is running short of food, medicines and fuel, and #Armenian authorities have accused Azerbaijan of orchestrating a full-blown humanitarian crisis in #Kharabakh in the latest spike in decades-long tensions between the two ex-Soviet nations.

[…] He had begun to feel lost months ago. One evening, from a moving streetcar, he had suddenly noticed the sky. It was a terrific fact, the existence of the sky. Noticing it, looking up into it, with night coming on, he had realized how lost he had become. But he hadn’t done anything about the matter. He had begun to want a house of his own, but he hadn’t done anything to get a house.
He stood over his phonograph, thinking of its silence and his own silence, the fear in himself to make a noise, to declare his existence. He lifted the phonograph from the floor and placed it on his small eating table. The phonograph was very dusty, and he spent a leisurely ten minutes cleaning it. When he was through cleaning it, greater fear came over him, and he wanted for a moment to put it back again on the floor and let it remain silent. After a while he wound the machine slowly, hoping secretly that something inside of it would break, so that he would not be able, after all, to make a noise in the world. […]

[…] Aveva cominciato a sentirsi perso mesi prima. Una sera, da un tram in corsa, aveva improvvisamente notato il cielo. L'esistenza del cielo, un fatto straordinario. Notandolo, guardandolo lassù in alto, mentre si avvicinava la notte, si era reso conto di quanto perso fosse diventato. Ma non aveva fatto nulla al riguardo. Aveva cominciato a desiderare una casa tutta sua, ma non aveva fatto nulla per avere una casa.
Stette immobile davanti al fonografo, pensando al silenzio del fonografo e al suo stesso silenzio, alla paura che aveva di fare rumore, di dichiarare la sua esistenza.
Sollevò il fonografo dal pavimento e lo posò sul piccolo tavolo da pranzo. Il fonografo era molto impolverato e passò una decina di minuti a pulirlo con calma. Quando ebbe finito di pulirlo, lo prese una paura ancora più grande, e per un attimo pensò di rimetterlo sul pavimento e lasciarlo stare in silenzio. Dopo un po' caricò lentamente la macchina, sperando segretamente che qualcosa al suo interno si rompesse, in modo da non essere in grado, dopo tutto, di fare rumore nel mondo. […]
