Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: 'Execution' video prompts war crime probe
BBC ^ | October 23, 2020 | Grigor Atanesian & Benjamin Strick

Videos of a potential war crime have emerged as fighting rages around the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians.

One video posted on a messaging app shows what appears to be two Armenians in military uniforms being captured by troops from Azerbaijan.

A second video seemingly shows the same Armenians being shot with their hands behind their backs.

Armenian authorities have identified the men as Benik Hakobyan, 73, and 25-year-old Yuri Adamyan. Azerbaijan has dismissed the videos as fake.

Yes, of course the video is "fake". (yes, sarc). Just like the "fake" Armenian Genocide, after all. Sheesh.

(And yes, before the usual folks chime in: Yes, this is not the US' problem. I am not suggesting it is.)

Armenians are tough, they will see out Erdogan’s attempts at a neo Turkish sultanate. I heard reports that Israel is supplying Azeris with weaponry. Hope not. A country that grew out mass genocide of Jews has no business arming opponents of another people who also suffered mass genocide at the hands of Turks in early 20th century.

Armenians need to give it up frankly......they truly have no claims to land that is clearly Azerbaijan....the demographics alone make that apparent. Armenia's President isn't going to win this war no matter how much he thinks this will help him politically.

I agree 110%.
Just like those AshkeNAZI Khazar fake “Jews” need to get out of Palestine, once and for all, Kosovo needs to be returned to Serbia, Taiwan needs to be returned to China, Al Andalus needs to be returned to the Caliphate, England needs to get out of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, Canada needs to get out of Québec, and Aztlan needs to be returned to México, etc. etc. etc...

(yes, the above is sarcasm).

The fact of the matter is that Nagorno-Karabakh has been ethnically Christian Armenian for centuries, and Azerbaijan doesn’t want them to just ‘leave’, they want to ethnically cleanse them.

The Armenians are quite literally fighting for their lives. Giving up means death, and they know this.

We’ll just disagree on this matter...the Armenians need to return to Armenia as they should have done long ago.

“...We’ll just disagree on this matter...the Armenians need to return to Armenia as they should have done long ago.”

Sure, that’s cool, but which definition of what constitutes “Armenia” are we to go for? The historical, pre-Ottoman extent of Armenia, or the artificial borders created by Stalin? Borders forced upon the Armenians by occupying forces?

Maybe, by the same reasoning, all white people need to leave North America and go back to Europe.

What constitutes Armenia is clearly seen on a map.....Again we’ll disagree.

“...What constitutes Armenia is clearly seen on a map.....Again we’ll disagree...”

A map drawn by foreign, occupying Muslim and Communist powers, and forced upon the ethnic, Christian Armenians.
