Aliyev Blasts West Over Karabakh

Azerbaijan's president, Ilham Aliyev

Urges international sanctions on Armenia

BAKU (RFE/RL)—Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has blamed Armenia for the continuing impasse in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and accused the international community of using double standards against his country.

Chairing a cabinet meeting in Baku at the weekend, Aliyev condemned the West for not imposing economic sanctions against Armenia and for maintaining contacts with Karabakh’s leaders.

“The mediators had some optimism late last year but it is proving misplaced,” he said in remarked posted on his website. “Today we can again see that Armenia is simply stalling for time and trying to preserve the ‘no-war-no-peace’ situation, while the international mediators are unfortunately not exerting serious pressure on them.”

Armenian leaders will brush aside these claims, having already accused Aliyev of torpedoing a Armenian-Azerbaijani summit that was planned for the beginning of this year. The summit was delayed by a January upsurge in ceasefire violations in the conflict zone, which followed a reported Azerbaijani incursion on Karabakh Armenian army positions. The U.S., Russian and French mediators are reportedly seeking to arrange Aliyev’s fresh meeting with President Serzh Sarkisian on the sidelines of a European Union summit in Prague later this month.

“Thousands of Azerbaijani citizens were killed. A genocide was perpetrated against us. But no sanctions are imposed on Armenia as a result,” Aliyev told his ministers.

“Why?” he asked. “How long will we be facing these double standards? What is the reason for that? Why are the leaders of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic not suffering from sanctions?”

Aliyev added that Baku has been demanding that Western nations stop issuing entry visas to Karabakh Armenian leaders visiting the United States and Europe on a regular basis. “They go there, hold illegal telethons and raise money,” he complained. “They then use that money against us.

“Their ‘leaders’ are received in leading Western countries. They are issued visas, they open representations there, make trips. Why?”

    A genocide was perpetrated against Azerbaijan? Really? When did that happen? Meanwhile the idiots in Baku are denying the Armenian Genocide, an actual genocide actually took place? It’s completely laughable.

    We need a strong leader with atitude that stands up and points the Azeri sultan at the true facts infront of the whole world.

    We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face… we must do that which we think we cannot.

    Based on historical realities going back centuries, and democratic principles of self-determination, the majority of the residents-citizenry of Nagorno-Karabakh [who affectionately call their ancestral land “ARTZAKH]” have legally expressed their natural and rightful preference for independence from Azerbaijan – even association with Armenia – during the last waning years of the Soviet Union, legally and lawfully. It was the Azerbaijanis that initiated aggression against the newly established Armenian government of Nagorno-Karabakh, and even barbarously massacred ethnic Armenian citizens residing in Azerbaijan at the time. It was unfortunate that a minimal number of Azeris might have been killed in the crossfire. It’s bizarre that Aliyev finds it natural to use oil revenues for propaganda and bribing foreign countries to side with Azerbaijan’s un-rightful claims, whereas complains when Diaspora Armenians try to raise money from within their compatriots – calling it “hold[ing] illegal telethon s and raise money. Then they use that money against us”. It is Azerbaijan’s threatening posture and domineering desire that is forcing Armenians to spend money for their defense against aggression. It sure was preferable for Armenians to live in peace and security – let alone civilized mode of neighborly good relations (including with that of Turkey), and spend available meager funds for citizens’ education and general welfare. Unfortunately, even some progressive Western countries are not pressuring Azerbaijan (as well as Turkey) to behave fairly and rightly commensurate with civilized modes of international relations vis-à-vis Armenian, Nagorno Karabakh, and Diaspora Armenians!

    I hate these bastard… Look at the size of his nose . Surely the Borat star needs to make a movie and mock this jerk and his idiotic people. In Armenia yes there might be corruption , but Azerbaijan is like Saudi Arabia , one family rule and the people are so uneducated that they don’t understand that or cannot do anything about it. As you read above what he mentioned , How do Europeans actually take this guy for real ? His a psycho that needs help with his Armenia-phobia ways .

    Why?????
    Because Mr. Alyev , Gharabagh is a sovereign country home for a lot of Armenians living on that land for thousands of years.
    That’s why, you didn’t get the memo.
    Blame your ministers for that, the whole world got it.
    And please do not and I repeat do not use the word GENOCIDE, you BARBARIAN.

    When tyrants use their tongues
    They hit left and right
    without using their eyes…
    Their principles are
    Building palaces through lies
    They want to get what they dream
    through cheating their people
    That they are powerful
    And able to change even

    Der Sultan is getting a bit desperate, he promised that he’d raise the Azeri military budget until it was larger than the entire Armenian state budget. Yet Armenia still holds the military advantage (thanks to free Russian weaponry and overall better quality soldiers). And now the oil and gas exports are dwindling for Azerbaijan, and Aliyev is screwed. So he’ll keep pounding his chest for his domestic audience.

    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.

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
