Azerbaijan promised that it would breach Armenia’s border through the new Horadiz-Jabrayil-Zangilan-Aghband highway, the foundations of which were laid on Tuesday at a ceremony attended by the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ilham Aliyev.
“You are going to the Armenian border, aren’t you? Will you go further?” Erdogan asked the Azerbaijan’s state highway agency Saleh Mammadov, who responded by saying: “Yes, we will move to the other side. With God’s help, we will go all the way to Istanbul, to Europe,” reported the Turan news agency.
Erdogan traveled to the occupied Artsakh territories—his fifth visit since the end of the 44-Day War—to attend not only the ceremony for the highway that will realize Aliyev so-called “Zangezur Corridor” plan, but also another highway go through Artsakh’ Varanda (Fizuli) and Berdzor (Lachin) to Shushi. Erdogan and Aliyev also attended the opening ceremony of an airport in Varanda (Fizuli).
The 50-mile highway, with four to six lanes, which will connect to Shushi is a joint construction projects between Turkish and Azerbaijani companies and will have
“At present, Turkish companies employ 6,587 people. A total of 1,832 of them are Turkish citizens and 4,500 are Azerbaijanis. In total, 13,280 people work in companies operating in the Karabakh region,” said Mammadov, Azerbaijan’s highway director, according to Turan.
Azerbaijani authorities want the more that 76-mile long highway that cuts through Mekhakavan (Jebrayil) to the Armenia border, to reach all the way to Nakhichevan in what is being touted as the “Zangezur Corridor.”
In less than a year, Azerbaijan and Turkey have been pouring resources to construct transposition routes and hub in and around the occupied Artsakh territories.
Ilham Aliyev is the same coward today as he was thirty years ago when he went into hiding during the 1990s Armenian Liberation War that liberated most of Armenian territories occupied by artificial Azerbaijan by handing his late KGB father a devastating and humiliating defeat with massive losses. A defeat so powerful that they will not be able to forget in hundreds of years. Truly a humiliating defeat that took them tens of billions of petrodollars and well over a quarter century to get back on their feet. Even after all of that and with annual military budget more than the entire Armenia’s annual state budget they still could not put a dent on the Armenians.
After thirty years of impotency It took the combined forces of genocidal terrorist Turkey, artificial criminal Azerbaijan, devil-worshiping terrorist ISIS pedophiles and weapons purchases, in tens of billions of petrodollars, from terrorist Pakistan, Belarus and morally-bankrupt and hypocritical Zionist state of Israel AND an incompetent and inexperienced former Armenian journalist turned prime minister to accomplish anything at all. Today, in their immediate backyards, the Armenians have been replaced with their centuries-old Russian enemies disguised as peacekeepers who were absent from the region for the last thirty years. The Russians with their big guns are back in the region they always considered as theirs.
Ilham Aliyev is throwing a lot of punches with his terrorist Turkish pimps on his side but rest-assured he is nothing more than a drum that makes a lot noise but is empty inside. He has a glass jaw and it takes a well-timed and proper punch to shatter and break that jaw. To accomplish that requires a true Armenian patriot leading the country with strong military and an iron will. But for now this terrorist Turkish and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani MAFIA gang needs to be broken up and neutralized. You can’t help but to draw a parallel between the current situation facing the Armenians and the one they lived through a hundred years ago when the very same enemies collaborated together to murder our population and try to destroy our statehood. But of course to no avail at the end. Operation Nemesis was a game changer. Perhaps our despicable enemies need a refresher. To be reminded what Armenians are capable of when push comes to shove.
TO ARARAT!!!!

NO POPULATION!!! NO FRIENDS!!!!! CORRUPT GREEDY SELFISH AND NO THINK 100 YEERS AHEAD TO PLAN FUTURE!!!! SAD!! SAD!! SAD!!!!
HAGOP
Actually it is you who talks that way and not me. If we think like you do we should just sit back and do nothing because we don’t have this or that or they have more of everything! You think Armenia had any power, money, friends or population in early 1920s when the Turks had already murdered 1,500,000 Armenians and turned what little was left of Armenia into an orphanage? Do you know what a handful of Armenian patriots did instead of talking like you? They went after all the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide, who were hiding in the capitals of Europe and Central Asia, and took care of the Turkish murderers one by one. They eliminated the entire criminal Turkish leadership and their collaborators responsible for the Armenian Genocide and by doing so they effectively put an end to the Ottoman Empire by stopping the return of their criminal leaders from their hiding places to retake the control of their genocidal Turkish government.
Did these determined and vengeful Armenian patriots have any money or power to go against the powerful terrorist Turkish leaders in hiding? No they did not but they took care of business because they were determined and it had to be done. Imagine if they had listened to someone like you and did nothing! Why give up so easily? What you keep talking about is not in the Armenian character to stand aside and do nothing no matter what. If there is a will there is a way and those Armenian patriots proved it to us a hundred years ago. Read about Soghomon Tehlirian, Aram Yerganian, Arshavir Shirakian and others and you will understand what I am talking about. They single- handedly put the fear of God in the hearts of Turkish terrorists and sent them all to hell where they belonged.
The Jews learned it from the Armenians and about a quarter century later copied from the Armenians and did to the Nazis what Armenians had already done to the terrorist Turkish race exterminators. As much as I hate to say it, even today the Israelis are employing those methods against their Iranian arch-enemies. They have lots of power and money and friends, unlike the Armenians, but they are powerless against Iran for various reasons, geographically for an instance, to do anything against Iran which they accuse of developing nuclear weapons, which they themselves already have, to be used against them. What do they do instead? They surgically go after their key leaders and scientists and eliminate them and by doing so they are in effect eliminating their perceived threat. You don’t need a million-man army to fight half dozen terrorist states to neutralize their threats. You don’t have to fight an entire army. All you have to do to remove such threats is instead to go after those who are organizing and are responsible for such threats. It is a no brainer!
TO ARARAT!!!!

What do you want to do, to sit around a table and drink tea, with a gang of terrorists who with overwhelming deadly force targeted your religious icons, such as Shushi’s newly-restored Ghazanchetsots Cathedral that the enemy was using as a weapons warehouse in 1990 liberation war firing hundreds of rockets on daily basis into Stepanakert destroying houses and killing innocent civilians, firing long-range missiles into maternity hospitals, targeting schools killing school children, desecrating your ancient Armenian Monasteries by erasing Armenian writings and scriptures off their walls, dismembering the heads of your killed soldiers to take to Aliyev to show Turkish patriotism to be congratulated and paraded as national heroes and receive medals of honor for decapitating dead Armenian soldiers, AND referring to your people, the survivors of the Armenian Genocide, as the remnants of the sword!
The USSR saved Armenia? It looks like you are the one who is smoking very strong and potent Turkish hashish. I am beginning to realize you don’t know much about the Armenian history either. Here is a quick refresher for you. I will keep it short and sweet for you. The Turks are our traditional enemies and will always be so long as the Armenian Genocide remains unresolved and our territories are under their occupation. But the Turks and the pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijanis aside, our number one enemies were the Soviets and now the Russian leadership with one difference from the Turks and that is, unlike the Turks, I believe they never wanted the physical destruction of the Armenian nation but, just like the Turks, they always wanted Armenia without the Armenians. How is it possible that as a so-called Armenian ally, even today, the Russian leadership has closer relations with our enemies than they have with their Armenian ally? On the surface it makes no sense but in Russian reality it makes a lot of sense. Armenia has nothing to offer to Russia other than a military base, used for Russian interests only, but the enemy has oil and purchasing power that Russia can exploit.
The First World War began in 1914 and ended in 1918. The disintegrating Ottoman Empire after losing most of its occupied territories, in the Balkans in particular, and under the leadership of genocidal Young Turks regime, entered into the war voluntarily on the side of their German mobilizers and Austro-Hungarian alliance collectively called the Central Powers to recapture lost territories. The first Turkish order of business was to conduct a surprise attack, with 90,000 terrorist Turkish troops headed by one of the top Masterminds of the 1915 Armenian Genocide Enver pasha, on Russia from the Caucasus with disastrous results. By this attack, the Turks had hoped to call into Jihad the sizable Muslim Turkic populations in Russia. Most were killed and the rest froze to death in Russian infamous winter and consumed by wild animals. This battle came to be known as the battle of Sarikamish. To cover his defeat to save face, and have another excuse to kill Armenians, Enver blamed his defeat on the Armenians fighting among the Russians. The following year came the mass deportation and premeditated mass extermination and genocide of 1,500,000 innocent Armenian civilian under the cover of the war.
The Ottoman Empire was defeated at the end of this war in 1918 and was at the mercy of Allied Powers such as the Soviet Russia, USA, Britain and France. Former rivals had come together to defeat their common enemies of the Central Powers. But their friendship did not last long once they together had accomplished the defeat of their common enemies and began to turn against each other for their own selfish political aims. The US president Woodrow Wilson had redrawn the new boundaries of Armenia under his Wilsonian Armenian Mandate which included most of Armenian territories today under terrorist Turkish occupation. The US senate failed to ratify the president’s Armenia Mandate which would have required the deployment of the US troops to guard and defend new Armenian borders. They felt that region was the Russian sphere. One of the biggest mistakes they made in my opinion. The Soviets wanting to kick their British rivals out of their backyards and planning to spread their revolution into Turkey made a deal with new Turkish rebel leader Ataturk who found the American indecisiveness and the rivalry among the Allies as an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to scrap any and all plans made by the Allied Powers for the Armenians and others, the Kurds for example, to restore their homelands formerly under Turkish occupation. The Soviets armed the defeated Turks by giving them weapons and truck loads of gold to kick the British out followed by an attack on the Armenians. The Turks with massive Soviet assistance attacked and retook territories that was to be granted to Armenians as part of US president Wilson’s Armenian Mandate and went even further and all the way towards the Armenian capital. The Armenians stopped their advance at Sardarabad and then the criminal cunning Soviets acting as “angels” came in and absorbed the rest of Armenia, that is contemporary Armenia, and turning it into Armenian SSR.
As a defeated nation, the genocidal Turkish terrorists had gained even more territory than they had at the time of their defeat and capitulation to the Allied forces. The Soviets helped your defeated Turkish enemy to destroy Armenia’s future and they took for themselves what was left over. For seventy years they dismantled the country, destroyed and desecrated Armenian holy sites, silenced and murdered Armenian patriots in labor camps, took Armenian territories and handed them over to the newly-invented Azerbaijani enemy, made Russian the official language of the country, discouraged with fear of imprisonment Armenian nationalism and forced thousands into exile for their feelings and display of Armenian patriotism.
What was done to the Armenians a hundred years ago at the hands of the Soviets and the Turks was repeated in the last year’s 44-day war. Your Russian allies having armed your Turkish enemies did nothing to help Armenia. They encouraged the Turks, by selling them deadly weapons, to attack Armenia and Artsakh and take as much as they had previously decided they could take and then they acting as “angels” came in, disguised as peacekeepers, and took over the rest. History repeated itself didn’t it? Are these the people you so proudly defend and claim as our saviors?
