Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev attend a summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Ashgabat on Oct. 11

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on Friday traded jabs and sparred over Karekin Njdeh during a summit of CIS leaders in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan where Pashinyan told Aliyev to become acquainted with history after the Azeri leader accused Armenia of “glorifying fascists” in reference to Njdeh, whom he claimed to be a Nazi collaborator.

Aliyev sparked the verbal altercation during the CIS summit taking issue with Njdeh statue and citing it as an example of Armenia’s glorification of fascists. Pashinyan was quick to declare that Aliyev was distorting history of Armenia and urged him to study it more carefully.

“Ilham Heydarovich’s speech leaves one with a sense that [Adolf] Hitler played a secondary role and that the Nazi movement was led by Karekin Njdeh,” Pashinyan said, according to Azatutyun.am. “Yet the truth is that KareKin Njdeh fought against Turkish occupation of Armenia, against the genocide of Armenians and … also commanded, together with many Russian officers, a very important section of the frontline during the Armenian-Turkish war in 1918.”

In his remarks, Pashinyan portrayed Njdeh as a victim of Stalin’s political repressions. “Njdeh died in the Vladimir prison [in 1955,]” he said. “Many prominent Soviet figures died in the Vladimir prison and [writer Aleksandr] Solzhenitsyn was in the Gulag. Do we consider everyone imprisoned from 1937 through the 1950s political prisoners?”

“I think it’s inappropriate to use this [CIS] format for distorting history and adding some tension to the atmosphere of this important meeting,” added Pashinyan.

This spat didn’t deter the two leaders from holding a two-hour discussion later at a dinner hosted by Turkmenistan’s President Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov for the summit participants.

Pashinyan’s spokesman, Vladimir Karapetian, told the Armenpress news agency that the two men discussed the Karabakh conflict and, in particular, “possibilities of reducing tensions” and “upcoming steps” in the negotiating process mediated by the United States, Russia and France. The conversation lasted for about two hours, said Karapetyan.

    Pashinyan’s response was not sufficient or appropriate. He should not have even responded to Aliyev’s ridiculous statements. What Pashinyan should have done is reminded Aliyev that his country Azerbaijan, which honors and glorifies axe-murderers such as Ramil Safarov, has zero credibility to talk about or accuse anyone of “glorifying fascists”.

    This corrupt oilman does not believe that Artsakh exists and will never control by Turkic herds again! He allowed to bark 5 times a day against Armenians like a devoted faithful fake Muslim!

    Dear Nikol:
    Azerbaijan is a fake country created only in 1918.
    It is not ancient.
    That is why it destroys monuments and cemeteries that show that Azerbaijan is largely a fiction.
    Please say these things publicly and bring down Aliyev.

    if Nzhdeh didn’t protect Armenians(and let the Turks and Azeris kill them) in Syunik and other parts of Armenia, then there would be lot less Armenians fighting fascism in WW2, in case if Aliev is so concerned about fascism. There were 600,000 Armenians from Armenia fighting in WW2 and 90,000 from Artsakh. Half of those din’t come back from war, and God knows what was the condition of those that came back. When is Asbarez going to write an article about Armenians participating in WW1 and WW2 and giving so much casualties at very high number. Why were Armenians(in 100’s of thousands) fighting in Europe in WW1 and not in Armenia, why is such a high number of participation by Armenians in WW2 comapere to other Soviet republics. When I was talking to a person(that person’s articles appear on Asbares from time to time) that publishes articles on Asbarez about this issue and gave that person some articles from other sources, that person was surprised that Armenia had such a high participation rate. Please write and educate us on our history(unfortunately our enemies and frenemies know a lot more about our history than we do). Can you imagine what would be the population of Artsakh if Artsakh didn’t have 45,000 dead in WW2. Our frenemies get our soldiers and our enemies get the our land and it’s been happening for almost 1,500-1,600 years

      We need a multi tiered “repopulation program”. Weneed to have programs that attracts Armenian youth from overseas to Armenia. We need a program of long term medical care and facility care for the Overseas elderly. The American retirement and elderly care funds are very generous by Armenian standards. For example if just 50,000 elderly requiring care, were to retire in Armenia, and use their US medical retirement benefits , it would bring in $ 1,200,000,000 cash flow to on a yearly basis. That is figuring on a $2000 per month benefit package per person.

    Trust the Azeri despot NEVER! Turks have no friends and never will. He rapes his own people with impunity. What do you think he has in mind for Armenians? Unfortunately our ancient homeland is surrounded by Asian invading Turks and therefore we must be forever vigilant. Keep building the Army to the teeth. Indoctrinate diaspora army units. Most important: Unite as one Armenia, Artsakh and diaspora..There is no alternative..

      The unity is already there. Not yet officially, but what is important is for the Armenian people to benefit from each political move. Two states voting at the UN is far more effective than one.

    wasting time and energy to answer stupid ozeri questions.
    I think those ozeries have the experience of using absurdity to mislead their opponent into nowhere and then impose their point of view.

    Mr. Pashinyan
    You did not answer and shut this corrupt oilman’s mouth rightfully.
    This corrupt oilman planning for his future relationship with Israeli corrupt military outlets, who are supplying military hardware for his corrupt demoralize army.

    Jewish people are not that stupid and brainwashed like Turkic herds, most of them know the suffering of the Armenian nation in the hand of Turkey, who was out of the picture during the 2-nd world war waiting for Hitler’s triumph in the Caucasus and join them.

    From 200 million Turkic herds only one person registered in Yad Vashem memorial. Armenian with less population spread all over the world after Genocide, with 24, including entire Charles Aznavour’s family!

      I like to remind the Jews that when the Jewish men fighting in the Warsaw Geto uprising were defeated, the Nazi mop up crew went from block to block bayoneting the survivors. Wounded men, women, children, the elderly, were all bayonetted by the Azery SS volunteers.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
