    Today the racist regime in Baku is in a dead lock and ready to any provocation and criminal actions . The regime in Baku even could commit act of sabotage against there own country and balm Armenians for this and that!

    Armenia and Karabakh should be very careful while answeing the provocative statements of fascist Azerbaijan and Turkish officials, since Baku and Ankara have a couple high paid corrupt so called journalists ” and so called “hidden politician sources” ready to abuse the statement of Armenian officials !

    I would suggest that Armenian officials and Karabakh to not issue any specific threats regarding possible targets, but that Armenia and Karabakh are ready to fight fight and destroy the aggressor !

    I don’t like our president’s body language compared to Sheikh Aliev. Aliev feels more comfortable and Sarkissian more somber and discontent.
    Tomorrow will know what this stupid meeting is all about.
    Let us see who is going to blink…

    Not one single coward western country will have the guts to condemn the Azeri barbarism. They all repeat the same word “concern” about the Artsakh-Azerbaidjan situation, and having “friends” like Russia who needs enemies? I hope Armenia will not join Eurasian union. That will be our end.
    “Petromoney” talks.

    The foreign policy of US is only for today and tomorrow – that is !

    irresponsible and provocative statements of Ambassador James Warlick as well statement of US Ambassador to Armenian regarding return of territories m and lately the last announcement of Russian foreign minster in Baku , reading Azerbaijan being “startegic ally” of Russia, all these made it for officials in Baku simply very easy to start new provocation and issue new war threats !

    Both US and Russia are ignoring the very simple fact that Ankara and Baku are pursuing a long term pan Turkic plan, and Karabakh is simple for them (for the fascists in Baku and Ankara) nothing but a tool to implement the old pan Turkish plans of 1915 ! Both Ankara and Baku are indeed very thankful for every short term help, which they could get from Russia and US in pursing and implementation of the Pan Turkih

    With the rise of Islamic terror, Armenia must have closer ties with Russia to protect Armenia.

    “Our relations are developing, and they are on the rise,” said Putin during his meeting with Azerbaijani President……….

    In other words, Mother Russia is hell bent on having Azerbaijan join the EEU. And in order to fulfil this hegemonic plan, Karabakh must be handed over to them on the Kremlin’s finest silver platter.

      Nice try. As long as Azerbaijan remains a western stooge they are not going to play ball with Russia.

        Unless Karabagh is brought back into the picture to lure them in, which it will be, then they will happily play ball.

          AR,
          Axerbaijan in the eyes of Western world and Russia is registered as an oil rich corrupted Sheikhdom! Russian oligarchs have more influence with corrupted Axerbaijani officials specially with Aliyev Dynasty, than Armenia!

    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.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with 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
