Citing Baku’s continued racist statements during the 30th anniversary of the Baku pogroms, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anna Naghdalyan said “under no circumstances can Artsakh become part of Azerbaijan.”

Naghdalyan made the statement Thursday in response to a reporter’s question during the foreign ministry’s daily press briefing when asked to comment on high-level Azerbaijani officials’ reaction on the 30th anniversary of the Baku pogroms.

“First of all, I would like to emphasize that a number of important commemorative events were held on the 30th anniversary of the anti-Armenian pogroms in Baku and numerous articles about the barbaric annihilation of the Armenian community in Baku have been and continue to be published in the international media on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the anti-Armenian pogroms in Baku,” said Naghdalyan.

“Unfortunately, this year the authorities of Azerbaijan again explicitly or implicitly continued the policy of justifying the actions of the masterminds of the anti-Armenian massacres in Baku 30 years ago and the perpetrators of those massacres. Moreover, the perpetrators of the massacres against defenseless people were glorified as “shahids (martyrs)” by Hikmet Hajiyev, the Assistant to the President, while the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan accused Armenians themselves of perpetrating the anti-Armenian massacres in Sumgait,” explained the foreign ministry spokesperson.

“Azerbaijan’s behavior is common among perpetrators of crimes: blame the victims for their crimes and deny any responsibility for public and systematic extermination of unarmed people in peacetime,” said Naghdayan.

“This clearly illustrates, once again, that under no circumstances Azerbaijani authorities can be entrusted with the responsibility of providing security to any part of the Armenian people. Apparently, under no circumstances Artsakh can become a part of Azerbaijan, and the people of Artsakh cannot be left without secure lines of defense,” declared the foreign ministry spokesperson.

    What does one expect from Tatar or Seljuk Turks? Every meeting this fact should be emphasized that Artsakh will never be part of any artificial sate of Azerbaijan and in fact there are current territories that belong to Artsakh that Azerbaijan is currently squatting on that needs to be liberated. Also demand the compensation of the hundreds of thousands that were forced to flee Azerbaijan programs with NOTHING..Above all the constant need to arm the Armenian and Artsakh army Otherwise they will continue the genocide and its denial and the international community will do NOTHING..Its up to us! Always has been..

      Armenians should not expect much from world powers, they are in the business of what’s in it for me, specially most politicians these days are corrupt and are bought and sold like tomatoes in a market, without moral values, NO political vision, and NO shame.

    First of all, I think Artsakh will NEVER be part of artificial Azerbaijan would have been much more appropriate title for this article. It was LIBERATED IN 1994 and the only matter worthy of discussion is when it will be reunited with Armenia. The most critical and important issue today concerning Armenia should be the unconditional demilitarization and the expulsion of Turkish and pseudo-Turkish criminal gangs form the occupied ancient Armenian province of Nakhijevan.

    There should be no doubt in the minds of any and all Armenians that the true intention of terrorist artificial Azerbaijan is not just the reoccupation of Artsakh with a fairy tale “autonomy” for the Armenian population there but rather it is the reoccupation and depopulation of Artsakh from the native Armenians. When the artificial Azerbaijani chicken-hawk (chicken for being an MIA during the war and hawk afterwards with pockets full of petrodollars) and terrorist fake leader Aliyev openly and publically claims that not just the local Armenians but all Armenians across the world and regardless of where they were born and raised are the enemies of his artificial state AND makes claims to all Armenian territories then there should be no doubt in our minds what his real intentions are.

    Both ancient Armenian provinces of Artsakh and Nakhijevan were taken away from Armenia a century ago, made so-called autonomous regions but placed under artificial Azerbaijan-SSR jurisdiction, and we saw the result of that within seventy years a couple of decades ago. In 1921 when this illegal territorial transfer took place, the Armenian population of occupied Artsakh was over ninety percent. The Armenian population of Nakhijevan was over fifty percent. By 1988 when the Artsakh Liberation Movement began, and through deliberate and racist anti-Armenian Azerbaijani policies with full intention of forcing the indigenous Armenians out of these regions, the Armenian population in Artsakh dropped by a quarter down to around seventy percent and the Armenian population in Nakhijevan was non-existent. What was done to the Armenians in Nakhijevan was awaiting them in Artsakh as well. It was just a matter of time.

    Fortunately, the force (Soviet Union) behind and responsible for the misappropriation of ancient Armenian territories to the pseudo-Turkish artificial Azerbaijani state which they along with terrorist and genocidal Turkish state helped invent at the end of WWI in 1918 and for the very first time in history, came to an end and allowed the Armenians to take their fate into their own hands and LIBERATE a piece, but a very important piece for the security and survival of Armenia, from the anti-Armenian and pan-Turkic racist and fascist enemy. We must liberate the other piece, the occupied ancient Armenian province of Nakhijevan (Նախիջեվան in Armenian and meaning: The Original/Last Resting Place of Noah), and make the recovery and restoration of occupied eastern Armenian territories complete. Then onto the liberation of occupied Western Armenia from terrorist and genocidal Central Asian Turkish hyenas!

    This statement is dangerous and may cause a new war in spring. I’m sad to say this. But it is how things may change.

    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
