This #Armenia #church in #Iran was the #Picture of the Year 2021
@Aline de Marseille and @🇦🇲 inky, from the tape 💙💛, might be of interest for you.
#Azerbaijjan officially sides with #Ukraine. Today they called #Russia an occupier, aggressor and condemned Moscow for crimes against humanity in Ukraine on national television. They also threatened #Iran with the separation of Azerbaijanis from #Tehran’s rule.
The shit is getting more complicated.
The dictatorship of Azerbaijan sides with Ukraine (what a shocker) and their call for separating Iranian northern provinces is so similar to Russia's claim on the Ukraine regions!
I truly hope things don't get any worse, because a conflict between Iran and Azerbaijan will bring #Turkey, #Armenia, #Tajikistan and #Uzbekistan into the conflict. Not to mention #Chechnia and other regions of southern Russia.
#Politics #WTF
This madness has no end!
According to news sources in Iran, the first batch of Iranian #Shahed drones will arrive in #Armenia sometimes next week!
This is the first official announcement by the IRI regime about the sale of it's low cost (less than $20k) #kamikaze #drones.
There are also reports of negotiations between #Tajikistan and Iran's regime to purchase a range of reconnaissance and attack drones from #Iran. No specifics about the negotiations has been made public.
In another news, the head of #IRGC defence industrial group said that some 20 countries have shown interests in purchasing Iranian made drones, but failed to mention the names.
It is sad that the only thing #IRI is exporting is death and destruction!
The new EU partner: In recent weeks, a video showing the apparent execution of Armenian POWs by Azerbaijani troops circulated on social media.
In this article, @mabl2k explains the methods Bellingcat used to confirm the location and time window.

#How Aliyev's #Azerbaijan buys western #politicians #silence
The silence of some western politicians on Azeri aggressions against #Armenia is not surprising, as the Aliyev regime is known for running billions of secret slush funds to pay off European politicians.

How to stop the mafia?
Many have noted the suspicious and very convenient timing regarding #Azerbaijan-Armenia hostilities which serve as an additional distraction for Russia amid its special military operation in Ukraine and its ongoing operations in Syria.
n addition to a recent visit by US House Speaker Nancy #Pelosi to #Armenia, anti-CSTO protests promoted by US government-funded media organizations in Armenia point toward events being much more than convenient timing and instead similar to US-engineered unrest seen in #Ukraine in 2014.
#israel unashamedly arming the barbaric genocidal regime of dictator Aliyev of #Azerbaijan.
#StandWithArmenia #Armenia #Politics
Ps. Us sends over $100M military aid to Azerbaijan despite the media circus by #Pelosi condemning their attacks against Armenia
Alliances in the Caucasus are complicated. Christian Armenians raise the Iranian flag, while Shiite Muslim Azerbaijanis wave the Israeli flag.
Being far from Western democratic standards, #Azerbaijan is regularly criticised by the #EuropeanUnion and the United States. And yet the hands of the #West are tied. The reason is that Azerbaijan is one of the very few gas suppliers that can help #Europe to reduce its dependence on #Gazprom at least to some extent, even if not completely. The TAP pipeline brings Azerbaijan’s natural gas to the Adriatic coast of #Italy, and the volume of supplies through this pipeline is going to double.
#Armenia also has good relations with the West: it signed an association agreement with the #EU under Serzh Sargsyan (the provisions that irritated #Russia were allegedly removed from the text) and has been successfully participating in the Eastern Partnership programme. Armenia is particularly close to European rivals of #Turkey: #France, #Greece and #Cyprus. All this results in a concoction that seems rather bizarre nowadays: the country feels equally comfortable with Sputnik and Radio Liberty, with radically pro-Russian and pro-Western players being active in the political arena (the latter accusing Russia of aggression against #Ukraine).

So who will defend the democratic Armenia?
Is this another front started by nato, is turkey finishing the job started 100 years ago or is Azerbaijan going this one alone?

Is this the end of armenians
With Russia otherwise engaged who can step in to save them. Would the west care?
Armenian army and air defense along the border is currently being smashed by Azeri artillery, MLRS and drone strikes
#Armenia has no friends, not the cowards in #EU, not the bullies in #NATO and definitely not #US or even #Iran (who is too afraid of getting into the conflict that can easily escalate to a war between Iran, Azerbaijan and #Turkey with the backing of both US and #Israel).
With you #Russia, their only backer against the fascist regime of Azerbaijan backed by Israel and Turkey, there is a big risk that the the Azeri dictator takes the opportunity to steal more land from the Armenian government.
This is a dangerous and disastrous escalation that will dwarf the war of last year.
Azerbaijan, rich with billions of dollars and Euro from their oil and gas sales has spent a massive amount of money in upgrading their military with Israeli and Turkish drones and high tech weapons.
the poor and isolated Armenia on the other hand is fighting with old weapons from Soviet time and almost no high tech weapons of their own or money to purchase them from abroad.
