25.01.2022 Armenia’s feeling of military superiority is now broken, and its feeling of isolation palpable. It should now be clear that Armenia can only be secure if it achieves lasting peace. https://nationalinterest.org//how-did-armenia-so-badly-mis

25.01.2022 Sarik Ariyak and Engin Sever were murdered by Armenian terrorists 40 years ago on 17 December 1980. Their killers are still at large. The ideologies which gave the terrorists the go ahead and praised them, are still being kept alive. Contact NSW Crime Stoppers if you know anything and take a chunk of 1-million dollar reward.

25.01.2022 "Amnesty International has verified the use of banned cluster bombs by Armenia for the first time in the current Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, following an attack on the city of Barda in Azerbaijan." Previously Amnesty also verified the use of cluster bombs by Azerbaijan. We condemn both. However, there is a slight difference. Western citizens, banks are direct accomplices to Armenia's use of cluster bombs with millions donated and transferred via local banks to Yerevan based f...unds financing Armenia's purchase of these weapons. #auspol #nswpol https://www.amnesty.org//armenia-azerbaijan-first-confirm/

24.01.2022 Nikol Pashinyan picked ultra-nationalism as a means to consolidate his flimsy hold on power in Armenia, turning his back to internationally recognised peace process with Azerbaijan. Armenian people deserve their share of prosperity and wealth of the region, continues to suffer as a result of ancient ethnic ultra-nationalist doctrines funded by radical diaspora groups. The people of Armenia will have the final say on their destiny, if one day they can free themselves off the radical diaspora ideologues, and ancient political parties.

23.01.2022 9:05AM AET Sydney,Australia. Turkish community paused for a minute remembering one of the greatest leaders in history, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

23.01.2022 BREAKING: The Republic of Turkey, founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is still strong after 97 years, and being celebrated 15-thousand kilometers away by proud Australians with Turkish heritage!

22.01.2022 A classic example of how many people in the West have been fooled by their so-called friends, who are using them to disseminate their propaganda. We say, if you are not fully aware of the details of complex issues, don't risk your reputation by copy and pasting posts from other people. It wasn’t in my place to post something, I should’ve done more research, the rapper said in a voice message posted online. But I don’t know what to believe. One side is telling me something, the other side is telling me something else. https://www.theguardian.com//cardi-b-apologises-for-suppor

22.01.2022 UPDATE: Amnesty International now confirmed Armenia used banned Russian-made cluster munition in this attack. Armenia fires more missiles to civilian populated areas, far away from the frontline, according to NYT. #auspol #nswpol "In all, 21 people died in downtown Barda in the rocket strike and 70 people were wounded, the government said in the evening, adding that the rockets were fired from a Russian-made Smerch multiple-rocket system and unleashed cluster bomblets. Desig...ned to be used against armies in open spaces, cluster bombs are banned in much of the world because of their danger to civilians in residential areas." https://www.nytimes.com//azerbaijan-barda-armenia-rockets-

22.01.2022 We call for an immediate peace in the region. The latest outbreak of violence, however, is a direct result of the ongoing illegal occupation of Azerbaijan’s sovereign territory by Armenia and its proxy irregular forces since 1993. ... The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 62/243, as well as the UNSC resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 reaffirm this. #azerbaijan #armenia

22.01.2022 Watch how #Armenian militia led by convicted terrorist Monte Melkonian (key figure in pan-Armenian terrorist movement) took piss out of civilians in #Kalbajar in 1993 via megaphone: You have 10 hours to leave, but we hold all the roads, so you have nowhere to go. After this, some 15 thousand people were frozen to death while fleeing bloodthirsty ethnic Armenians. City centre of Kalbajar had a population of 7000 with 99% Azerbaijani Turks in 1989, has been taken back by #Azer...baijan. As off 2010, there were only several hundred Armenians living in the area, mainly soldiers and their families, who were resettled there by #Yerevan.

21.01.2022 READ AND LEARN: THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL'S VIEW ON AZERBAIJAN'S VICTORY The November 10 peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia outlines a viable political solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, setting the stage for a potential durable settlement to the Caucasus’ most dangerous flashpoint. The agreement not only ends one of the world’s longest standing conflicts, but also could catalyze other diplomatic and economic agreements that can restore peace, prosperity, and stability throughout the region. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org//azerbaijan-armenia-peace/

21.01.2022 According to media outlets, at least four French citizens with Turkish background injured when pro-Armenia protesters attempted lynch them in Lyon, France.

20.01.2022 LIVE NOW! Azerbaijan's victory parade in Baku. Azerbaijan libreated its territory from occupying Armenian forces after a 44-day battle, losing 2783 of its sons. A brutal 28 year-long Armenian occupation had displaced 700k+ people from their homes and lands,which were destroyed and rendered useless by the occupiers. United Nations and every other international organisation condemned Armenia for this occupation. International community did nothing tangible to settle it. It was up to Nikol Pashinyan and ultra-nationalists who provoked Azerbaijan to finally settle UNSC resolutions by itself.

19.01.2022 Keep a close eye on Armenia? Shift-blaming continues. If you don't ask the right questions, you cannot get the right answers. We hope the people of Armenia will soon ask the right questions. Extreme ultra-nationalists in Yerevan and within diaspora communities prevent the nation from normalising its relations with its neighbours. They invaded Azerbaijan, and got kicked out from the lands they invaded. They still have a chance to find a settlement for Armenians living in Karabakh, as soon as they stop chasing ancient and unrealistic myths. https://hetq.am/en/article/125076

17.01.2022 "I hope that we can put these things aside, because we are Australians, we shouldn't have foreign issues affect us here at home," she said. "I obviously hope that as Australians we can live together comfortably together in peace and harmony but these are the realities of the situation unfortunately." Jessica Azeri, prominent member of the Australian-Azerbaijani community, very well said. And both sides agree on that. ... https://www.abc.net.au//azerbaijani-armenian-aust/12722638

16.01.2022 Disturbing news are coming from Azerbaijan, as hours after an agreed ceasefire a missile landed in the country's second most populous city, Ganja. A huge explosion turned a five-storey residential apartment into a pile of rubble, with rescue crews pulling out dozens of survivors from the debris. Local authorities say at least five people are dead, and 20 injured. Experts warn such attacks can escalate the conflict in to a full scale war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as Bak...u until now confined its operations in its officially recognised territories which is under occupation by armed non-state ethnic groups backed by Yerevan. The UNSC Res 822, 853, 874 and 884, as well as the UNGA Res 62/243 calls for an immediate withdrawal of Armenian troops from Kelbajar, Fuzuli, Agdam, Jabrayil, Qubadi and Zangilan. Since 27 September, the Azerbaijani army was moving in these directions with big success, enforcing the relevant UN Resolutions. #armenia #azerbaijan #auspol

16.01.2022 Have you seen any convinving evidence of the so-called Syrian mercenaries in Azerbaijan fighting Armenia? Here is an article about yet another Armenian lie and propaganda. Also remember the WMDs in Iraq. One with basic intelligence would have asked to him or herself; why would a superior and organised army would require the assistance of an irregular and unreliable contigent of armed men, who doesn’t even speak the same language, in a conflict that they knew they could win in less than two months? https://www.eureporter.co//war-in-karabakh-how-fake-news-/

15.01.2022 Madrid principles for peace in Karabakh was undermined by Pashinyan, according to Farid Shafiyev. https://nationalinterest.org//what-armenia-wont-tell-you-a "Since 1992, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been working towards a diplomatic solution under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group, co-chaired by France, Russia, and the United States. In 2007, this effort produced the so-called Madrid Principles, which were updated in 2009 and accepted by both Armenia and Azerbaijan as th...e basis for implementing the return of the occupied territories. Since then, Armenia under various pretexts postponed this implementation and opted for maintaining the status-quo of occupation. In March 2020 the new leadership of Armenia under Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan explicitly denounced the Madrid Principles. This had been preceded by Pashinyan’s August 2019 open declaration that Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia, thus confirming the strategic goal of unification, i.e. territorial expansion. This in turn had been preceded by the March 2019 announcement of a new military doctrine by Armenia’s defense minister, David Tonoyan, which had called for a new war for new territory. With a dead-end in the negotiation process and the increased military posture, Azerbaijan had no choice but to resort to the use of force, which it is entitled to under chapter 51 of the UN Charter. This is rarely mentioned in biased reports about the status of the conflict."

15.01.2022 HAPPENING NOW: At least two major Australian banks have launched investigations into money being raised here and funnelled to Armenia through their accounts. We have been told that they feared becoming accomplice to crimes against humanity by enabling the procurement of banned munitions such as cluster bombs. Amnesty International recently verified the use of cluster bombs by Armenia against the civilians in the city of Barda. Same banks and other relevant authorities are also looking whether AML/CTF commitments are breached, as it is almost impossible to track where the Australian money end up once sent over there. We will let you know as soon as we know more about it.

15.01.2022 We congratulate the team behind Assasins of Diplomats that brought the Armenian terrorism back to light. They won the most prestigous journalism award in factual documentary category. Watch it if you haven’t already and share it with your loved ones. https://youtu.be/mkTxrg2tIms

15.01.2022 Very encouraging to see the change in tone from Yerevan. People of Armenia deserve their share from the wealth and prosperity of the region. They can only get it with close cooperation with Turkey and Azerbaijan. The new economy minister seem to have a good understanding of this. ... People of Armenia do not share the same interests with the rich real estate agents of Los Angeles. We hope in this newly found peace, children of Armenia are no longer raised to become cannon fodders for ancient ultra-nationalistic dreams. #armenia #azerbaijan http://www.armbanks.am/en/2020/11/30/131203/

14.01.2022 Things Kim Kardashian Would Never Tell You: S 1 Ep 2 Iran - Armenia Relations There is growing evidence of Iranian support to Armenia during recent clashes with Azerbaijan. But why? Isn't Armenia a great friend of Australia and the US? Why is the love for Ayatollah's regime then? And where does Israel sit on this complex relationship? ... 1. Israel is a close friend of Azerbaijan as it sees Iran's northern neighbour as a countering force to the regime. 2. Iran supports Armenia to check Azerbaijan in balance, because Iran sees Azerbaijan as a big threat to itself. Iran is home to 20 million Azeris and Turks, mainly around Tabriz region and Tehran sees this as a grave danger to its oppressive regime. 3. Azeri energy corridors are a threat to the regime's vital economic arteries. And for many other reasons, it is an alliance of convenience between Iran and Armenia. Whatever you are being told by Kim and her friends, they are not telling you the truth. Yerevan is happy to break bread with Israel and America's biggest enemy in Tehran. #armenia #azerbaijan

14.01.2022 Remember all the talk about the glorious Armenian army in September, fending off Azerbaijani advances. In reality, thousands were deserting. Incredible confessions came from Armenia's top general overnight during a press conference. Let this sink for a moment. #Armenia’s top army commander Movses Hakobyan told a press conference that they lied almost with everything. #ArmenianLies ... What other lies they have been telling the world for decades, only we know. One who always lies, ends up lying to himself. #azerbaijan

13.01.2022 In keeping with repeated international calls and consistent with the Madrid Principles agreed to with Armenia through the Minsk process, Azerbaijan has declared itself ready for peace, provided all Armenian forces leave Azerbaijan’s territory and so long as the seven Armenian occupied districts surrounding Nagorno Karabakh are returned to Azerbaijani control. With this, bilateral discussions about the future of Nagorno Karabakh can proceed and the principle of autonomy within Azerbaijan can be formalized. https://townhall.com//armenia-caught-in-its-own-trap-n2578

12.01.2022 "At their first meeting, Mr. Pashinyan, a former journalist, asked Mr. Aliyev for time but promised to pursue a new policy on Nagorno-Karabakh. That policy never came. Tensions escalated this year, analysts say, as Mr. Pashinyan and his defense minister made increasingly populist statements over the territory, announcing plans to make Shusha the regional capital and in August moving the Parliament there. Those steps may ultimately prove to have been major miscalculations. An ...American-Armenian historian, Jirair Libaridian, has suggested as much.

11.01.2022 Here are the key takeaways for reference by Robert M Cutler on Al Jazeera: *The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh is neither eternal, nor based on ancient hatreds. The two peoples lived together peacefully for centuries until the arrival of the Russian Empire. *Armenian politics...is heavily influenced by its radical diaspora. *Pashinyan turned to hyper-nationalism after failing to improve Armenian people's economic situation *Pashinyan’s defence ...minister, David Tonoyan in 2019 rejected the previous military doctrine of land for peace and adopted instead a new doctrine named, new war, new territories. * In August 2019, Pashinyan declared Azerbaijan’s occupied territories to be an integral part of Armenia proper. No Armenian politician had said that since the war in the early 1990s. *In March 2020, Pashinyan declared no more recognising Madrid Principles agreed by both sides and the international community, and proposed 7 new ones, demanding Armenians in Karabakh to become part of the process, without inclusion of .5 million displaces Azeris. * If Pashinyan does not reach a political settlement on these established, internationally supported terms, then it becomes possible that he is replaced by a pro-Russian camp already evident within the polarised Yerevan political elite. That would have unpredictable consequences. https://www.aljazeera.com//what-is-behind-the-nagorno-kar/ #armenia #azerbaijan #auspol

11.01.2022 Where are the "Turkish-Syrian mercenaries" ? Since the first day of the latest outbreak of violence between Armenian and Azerbaijan, some pro-Armenian western leaders (Mainly France's Macron and some sources in Moscow, who happened to be sharing the same views about the future of #nato) and Yerevan continuously insist that Turkey is shipping Syrian National Army fighters to Azerbaijan. There is yet to be a single hard evidence to surface. When asked if there was even a dead b...ody of a Syrian fighter captured, according to this Russian outlet, the Armenian officials claim that the corpses of Syrian fighters are being flown back to Syria by Turkey, or eaten by wild boars. On the other hand, social media posts show a growing number of foreign fighters from many countries are arriving to the region to join the ranks of Yerevan backed armed groups. https://vestikavkaza.ru//minoborony-armenii-boevikov-iz-si

11.01.2022 Canadian Senate defeats a motion calling for the recognition of the so-called Republic of Artsakh. The motion brought to floor by a Greek-Canadian senator. Here are some highlights from Canadian Senator Hon. Peter M. Boehm for why he'd be voting No! Hon. Peter M. Boehm: "To start, Canada recognizes the region in question as Nagorno-Karabakh, because it is, under international law, part of Azerbaijan. Artsakh is the name Armenia and Armenians use for the region, which they se...e as a reflection of their national identity and statehood. Fair enough. This dispute over territory is, of course, at the heart of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. On that basis, I will refer to the region for the rest of my remarks as Nagorno-Karabakh to be consistent with Canada’s policy and that of all our allies and like-minded partners." "The motions in the French Parliament and the count by which they passed must be seen for what they are: political statements against Turkey, a staunch ally of Azerbaijan, and shows of support for France’s sizeable Armenian community, rather than actions based on sound foreign policy what we would call realpolitik." "Canada cannot survive as a multicultural, diversity-valuing society if national, ethnic or religious groups import their conflicts into Canada. Diaspora politics is the tinder of a fire that could consume not just those who ignite it, but all of us." https://sencanada.ca//cham/432/debates/017db_2020-12-08-e

10.01.2022 Today, we mark the 98th anniversary of the liberation of Anatolia from imperialist Hellenic army. On 9 September 1922, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's armies entered the final bastion of Greek occupation, Izmir, and ended the unrealistic dreams of Athens to reinstate a Greece that never existed. Ataturk's realism brought peace to the people of Asia-Minor. The liberation of Izmir also marks the end of history's one of the worst and least understood human tragedies; ethnic cleansing of... Turks and Muslims in Balkans. Between 1820s and 1922, more than five million Turks - "the scourge of the world" according to the former PM of Britain, William Ewart Gladstone - were massacred and displaced. When Ataturk arrived in Izmir, the Greek royals went into hiding, fearing he would cross the sea to re-occupy Athens. The founder of modern Turkish Republic knew that the age of empires was over, instead, he began building a nation and peace in the region. For this reason, he was later nominated to Nobel Peace prize by his war time adversary, Eleftherios Kyriakou Venizelos. Peace at home, peace abroad. See more

10.01.2022 For years, instead of abiding by the international rule of law (UNSC Res. 822, 853, 874, 884 and UNGA Res.62/243) , Armenia acted illegally in Nagorno-Karabakh backed by its regional friends. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan himself in 2019 said that they were not ready to make compromises within OSCE framework, which Australia supports, and threatened to mobilise all Armenian world against Azerbaijan; following a $100 million defence loan including fighter jets fro...m Moscow. Today, Armenia is seeking Europe's and Western support against Azerbaijan. Armenian aggression in the region and the outbreak of war benefits Russia, which chokes Europe with its oil and gas supplies. Europe's dependency of Russian hydrocarbons was to end soon with the completion of Azeri energy lines. #azerbaijan #armenia Sky News Australia ABC News

07.01.2022 Nagorno-Karabakh is not a disputed region. It is an internationally recognised territory of Azerbaijan occupied and ethnically cleansed by Armenia together with seven adjacent regions of Azerbaijan in flagrant violation of international law. Four UN security council resolutions, adopted in 1993 (822, 853, 874, 884) and demanding immediate withdrawal of the Armenian occupying forces from all occupied regions of Azerbaijan, remain unfulfilled. To consolidate its occupation policy, Armenia established an illegal regime, the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), on the occupied lands of Azerbaijan. This puppet regime has not been recognised by the international community including Armenia itself. Thus, there is no such thing as Nagorno-Karabakh military staff. https://www.theguardian.com//nagorno-karabakh-belongs-to-a

07.01.2022 We are puzzled with Berejiklian government’s decision to debate a motion condemning Azerbaijan in NSW parliament today. At the thick of COVID19 crisis and ICAC revelations, NSW becomes the only legislative assembly in the world doing so.

It risks damaging Australia’s reputation as a nation which upholds the rule of law in global affairs. A similar wording coul...d only be floored in Yerevan parliament.

He has obviously chosen a well known Turkish mosque in Sydney to have his mental breakdown for a reason, at a time like this.

Imported foreign hatred caused significant risk to Australians, and damaged Australia's multicultural harmony. Australia is no pl...ace to settle foreign disputes. UPDATE: The man appears at local court for bail. Damage is worth 100K AUD. We welcome immediate condemnation from other ethnic community associations. Here is a link to the story on media: https://www.news.com.au///4939f0f6dec8e8979751b8dee18393df Our position remains the same. If you trump up Turkish hatred, Islamophobia, this is what happens. Dozens of Australians were lucky yesterday, 54 New Zealanders were not as lucky last year in Christchurch. PREVIOUS POST: An unknown person vandalised the Turkish mosque in Auburn, Sydney on Sunday. During the attack, a group of worshippers including women and children were present at the premises, and had to seek shelter in fear of their lives. The person is under police custody, apparently was motivated by developments in overseas. This is what happens if you pour fuel on fire and do your best to bring distant conflicts to Australia.

05.01.2022 I asked my mum,why did they kill my uncle? She said they (Armenians) were killing Turkish diplomats all over the world. At that moment, I decided to become a diplomat. We thank the #SFEsslemont for their ongoing hard work to catch the killers of Turkish diplomats, Engin Sever and Sarik Ariyak. They have returned some personal items of Mr Sever, who was killed by Armenian terrorists 40 years ago, to his nephew, Ilhan Sener who is serving at the T.C. Kanberra Büyükelçilii / Turkish Embassy in Canberra Mr Sener told Turkish media how he had first learned the name of Australia as a young kid from his mother who was grieving for the death of her brother. https://m.haber7.com//3016837-sehidimiz-engin-severin-dipl

" Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ... the people’s militia initiative in the country, dangerous examples of which were seen in other conflict-torn parts of the world, such as Burkina Fasso." "Armenian administration refuse to adhere to the OSCE framework agreement, which was agreed upon in principle."... "Armenia has been relocating Kurdistan Working Party (PKK) terrorists from Syria and Iraq to the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh to prepare for future hostilities and train Armenian militias." "Changing the demographics of the occupied territories by bringing in refugees of Armenian origin from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq aims to consolidate the 30-year-long Armenian occupation, represents a violation of international law, the Geneva Convention and various international agreements. Professionally hired militants and terrorists being resettled to Nagorno-Karabakh would be designated as an war crime under international law, putting peace and stability in the region at risk.

04.01.2022 Today,the Berijiklian government proved to the people of NSW where the premier’s priorities lie by giving a precedence to a motion by Hugh Mc Dermott supporting Armenia. The people of NSW reeling from once-in-a-generation health and economic crisis,had seen their members debating a war 15 thousand kilometers away. Ms Berijiklian is off Armenian descent and it is even to our suprise that she chose the sitting hours spent on condemning Azerbaijan and Turkey instead of debating ...how to rebuild our economy or ensuring the public safety amidst COVID19. This happened against the Commonwealth’s interests and position,while in reality the motion has absolutely no practical and tangible outcome. It is what it is. Azerbaijan keeps enforcing UNSC resolutions on the ground by retaking occupied lands to return 1 million displaced people to their homes. #auspol #nswpol See more

04.01.2022 Today, we mark the 98th anniversary of the victory of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's realism over Greece's Megali Idea. Emboldened by British and French support, the Greek leadership attempted to reinstate a Greece that only ever existed in their bedside stories. The final march to liberation of Anatolia from Megali Idea began with the victory on 30 August 1922. Today, the Greek leadership, again using their backers across Europe, in order to impose an unacceptable maritime status q...uo over Turkey. The people of Greece and Turkey have more in common than any other neighbouring nations in the world, and their interests collide. Unfortunately, once in a hundred years, the Greek people are pitted against their brethren across the sea. This time by the French, who has no more interest in Greece than a seasonal tourist, and the UAE, which is not really a real country. See the newspaper excerpt from NW Tasmanian The Advocate 31 Aug 1922. #30agustoszaferbayrami #turkishvictoryday Peace at Home, Peace Abroad. "BRITISH POLICY BLAMED. The "Daily Express" declares that the renewal of the Greco-Turkish war is primarily due to the vacillating British policy, and her inability to reach an agreement with France. A Franco British settlement could have been imposed upon both sides at any time. After the Greeks' disastrous failure to capture Angora, France made a separate agreement with Mustapha Kemal. Britain half-heartedly supported Greece though she does not owe Greece her gratitude for lier behavior during the Great War. Greece is now fighting a war of conquest against Turkey." See more

02.01.2022 UPDATE: A three-way peace deal between Russia and Azerbaijan signed, Pashinyan fled Armenia without signing it, expected to sign on board the Russian plane he is escaping. Chaos in Yerevan as radical groups raid parliament. REMINDER: Pashinyan earlier this year endorsed the Treaty of Serves as basis to Armenia's foreign policy doctrine, literally making land demand from Turkey as part of its country's policy. BREAKING: (Really) Armenia surrenders. PM Nikol Pashinyan announ...ced via his social media account. It should never have had to come to this. Thousands of Armenians and Azerbaijanis suffered as a result of Pashinyan's ego, self-delusion, and the acts of radical ultra-nationalists. Pashinyan's u-turn from Madrid Principles should be noted by the people of Armenia as a grave mistake which brought nothing but death and destruction. We hope now both peoples of Armenia and Azerbaijan can find a way for reconciliation and to live together in peace. https://www.aljazeera.com//armenia-pm-says-signed-painful- See more
