The
activists share and comment on the anti-
Pashinian videos, used by his opponents in the
election campaign, showing the future of
Armenia under
corrupt Azerbaijani institutions if
Pashinian wins the
elections.
Bakhtiyar Hajiyev ironically comments that they threaten the Armenian community not by Azerbaijan’s super modern drones and weapons, but by
corrupt police. He jokingly concludes that if the minister sends 3-5 police cars to
Khankendi to collect road
violation fines, the local
Armenian armed forces will all escape themselves without resistance. The
activists,
journalists and
bloggers share news on the increasingly heated
election campaign in neighbouring
Armenia where the opponents are revealing certain previously unknown information in order to discredit each other, some of which has a relation to Azerbaijan. The
Armenian sources – the alleged secret recording of
Pashinian in 2018 – report
Pashinian saying that “
Putin, Nazarbayev,
Lukashenka argue that
Aliyev understood that
Karabagh would never be part of Azerbaijan” and when
Aliyev was asked to show the written consensus on this matter, he said that if he showed it now – it would be betrayal of the people. The opposition concludes that this explains why the President is saying now, that the conflict is over, or why did the government lie to people that
Turkey would also participate in the peacekeeping mission, but in fact implemented
Lavrov’s plan. The e-media also reports that there is already even the shop
Bravo which belongs to
Aliyev’s family in
Shusha, but questions the availability of the local population in the city, as there is no information on how many people returned to the liberated homeland. The commentators argue that there is no discrepancy between these revelations and the statements and actions of
Aliyev. Under the disguise of “
peacekeepers”, the Russians are building a “Russian-Armenian state” in
Karabagh. “This insults dignity and identity of people, except for the president himself”. FB users speculate whether this means that
Karabagh was secretly given to
Armenia, and share
Lavrov’s quotations at “
Primakov’s readings forum’: “The status of
Nagorno-Karabagh should be resolved with participation of the
Minsk group co-chairmen, but now they should focus on stability”. Which is evidence that Russians do not plan to leave the area of conflict. The FB community –
activists, leaders and
journalists – express extreme concern at the delay of the opening of the corridor to
Nakhichevan.
Bakhtyar Hajiyev argues that while the planned corridor will connect two parts of Azerbaijan, the
Lachin corridor connects
Armenia with
Karabagh, which is the part of the other country – Azerbaijan. In spite of this, nothing has been done in 7 months since the signing of the trilateral agreement in this direction, while freight and passengers are intensely transported via the
Lachin corridor to
Karabagh from
Armenia. He asserts that if not for public opinion, specifically the July 2020
Karabagh rally, the President would not get back lost territory. Azad soz FB platform shows a video where the flag of Azerbaijan is replaced by the Russian flag in
Lachin region. The
activists and
journalists react with indignation to the Iranian ambassador’s statement that Iranian companies will be developing farmlands in the liberated territories. They recall that for 30 years Iranian companies rented and developed these lands which were under Armenian occupation. The
journalist in exile Afghan Mukhtarli says that it seems that everyone is now using these lands except for Karabaghis themselves and stresses that locals should be given private land according to the law, as 80% of the lands should belong to the citizens and local self-government. He argues that
Ilham Aliyev disposes and uses these lands arbitrarily, in
violation of laws, and it is met with silence.
Mukhtarli reminds his followers that the Baku villages followed a similar path. Baku and its villages were “given” to the proxies of
Aliyev’s family.
