Sarkisian Slams Aliyev for Insulting Armenians

Sarkisian during a joint press conference with the visiting Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski

YEREVAN—President Serzh Sarkisian on Thursday slammed his Azeri counterpart Ilham Aliyev who on Wednesday continued his racially-motivated anti-Armenian slurs by saying that “something is missing” in the brains of the Armenian people.
At a joint news conference, where Turkish Prime Minister Recept Tayyip Erdogan called for an apology from Sarkisian for his remarks on Western Armenia, Aliyev chimed in by advancing his anti-Armenian agenda by saying, “I am well informed about [Sarkisian’s] way of thinking. In effect, this demonstrates the aggressive essence of Armenia.”
Aliyev continued his verbal rampage by saying: “But to have territorial claims to Turkey? This simply means that something is missing in the heads of these people,” he added.
In his remarks, Aliyev went on to say that “Azerbaijan will get back its territories, either through peace or military means.”.
In his response, Sarkisian referenced a recent speech he gave at the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe, in which he highlighted Azerbaijan’s anti-Armenian policies, an issue that was condemned by the European Parliament as an impediment for stability in the region.
Speaking at a joint news conference with visiting Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski, Sarkisian pointed to the absence of a “proper atmosphere,” saying that “it is not possible to poison your own people everyday and at every level.”
Hitting back at Aliyev comment on Armenians’ lack of sanity, Sarkisian said: “Is that a statement by a normal individual, let alone a leader of a country.”
“A person filled with enmity, cannot make normal decisions,” added Sarkisian.
Aliyev’s boasting in front of Erdogan, however, became muted when the question turned to Turkey’s insistence that Azerbaijan recognize “Northern Cyprus” in the event UN efforts to address the issue fail.
Aliyev said this is not an easy task. “There is also a Nagorno-Karabakh problem. I hope this conflict will be solved one day,” Aliyev said, referring to vulnerability of his country in recognizing Turkish Cyprus due to pressure from the European Union.
While visiting Turkey in 2004, Aliyev said Azerbaijan would consider recognizing “N. Cyprus” if Greek Cypriots rejected a UN plan to reunify the island. Reportedly, the EU pressured Azerbaijan to not recognize the “Northern Cyprus” and threatened to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

    Prince Heydar, you say something is missing in the heads of the Armenian people to which I say the Armenians brought the World Chess Team Championship to Armenia last night and your people were way at the bottom of the competing countries. Perhaps there is something missing in the heads of the Azeri people, if there is such a thing as Azeri people.
    Now go and start counting your money before you lose it all after you lose the second Karabagh was you re so eager to start. I also suggest to have your Monaco Mansion to have a summer clean up because you will need it very soon when you are thrown out of office by your own people who have been abused by your corrupt government of cronies.

    These are the same rulers of Turkey of 1915….. it seems that Turkish and Azerbaijani ‎leaders) including Erdogan) have nothing else to do but to make racists comments about ‎Armenian nation. They voice there neo fascist ideas in front of cameras.. therefore one can ‎imagine simply what they are discussing behind close doors.!!!. These are leaders of our two ‎of neighbors who are proud of genocide of 1915 committed against Armenian people!‎

    Yes, Aliyev is right, something is missing. That “thing” is the aggressiveness and bloodthristy attitude “these people” have had and will get during a time of war and oppression. What’s missing is what was present in Nagorno-Karabakh when these people were attacked and pressured in the early to mid 1990’s. What’s missing has been supplanted by an attitude and desire for peace and autonomy. Go ahead, you bombastic boy of a conquered Communist crony. Your aggression and rhetoric will bring back what is missing. Yet again you’ll be sorry. Was this “something” missing in Shushi? How about Agdam? Was this “something” missing in Monte?

    The Turks here are blatant fabricators of lies and they despratley try to hide the crimes of one of the most brutal empires in history
    armenia is the only nation that still exists from the 3000 year old maps of anatolia
    and even those othaman war dogs couldent destroy armenia … armenia lost alot in 1915 but she still stands proud and victorious.
    .
    .
    The atrocities committed by Turks against Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds, Greeks, Serbians, Romanians, Arabs, Bulgarians and almost all nationalities that were under Ottoman rule is documented by most reliable historical institutions ( except Turkish Historical Society)

    Learning is a continuous process in life. What we can all see very clearly is that there can be no
    reconciliation or even an honest relationship without respect and integrity. Erdogan has shown on
    numerous opportunities that he no respect and at contempt for the Armenians. The silver lining in his behavior is that it is an opportunity for ROA to show the world again our civilized nature. It also served to unify the Armenians which is critical to our success. The good news is that it is another reminder to Turkey that discussion on stolen western Armenia is just beginning.

    This state visit of Erdogan was a total failure! The two Turkic states could not agree on anything important to them – namely oil and gas tariffs and prices, pipelines, recognition of PKK as a terrorist organization by Bazarbaijan, etc. So they had to resign to the only topic on the agenda that they agree on – hate towards Armenians and willingness to commit another Genocide when they are given a chance.
    It is interesting that Turkey continues to insist that Aliyev dictatorship recognizes Kurdish PKK as a terrorist organization where everybody knows that KGB General Heydar Aliyev was an ethnic Kurd born in Armenia and he was the one who was responsible for Soviet involvement in creation of these Kurdish terrorist organizations when Turkey turned away from Lenin-Stalin’s Bolshevism to NATO.
    His son, Ilham Alieyv, the current illegitimate Sultan-president of Bazarbaijan re-settled hunderds of thousands of his Kurdish brethren from Turkey and Iran to Nakhichevan and areas surrounding Artsakh.
    It is to the point now that the local Azeri-Turks in places like Gandzak (Ganja) complain that Aliyev’s Kurds took over the city that they took over from Armenians and now Azeris have to leave for Russia while that region becomes another Kurdistan under the watchful eye of Ilham Heydar-baba Alieyev-ugly and his Kurdish clans.

    I get upset when we play with the rules of ceasefire. Like Israel , Armenia, actually Armenians should respond heavy handedly when the tatars breaks the cease fire .
    It is time for Armenians to look for liberation of Nakhijevan.

    As for Western Armenia ! eventually will be returned to their rightful owners.Armenian minds (brains) are superior to it’s adversaries’.We suffered a lot but we came back;because we are resilient.
    WE WILL WIN eventually.Long live Republic of ARMENIA !!!

    Why do we Armenians condemn Azerbaijan and Turkey for their misbehaviour? Whose backing them? Every US president lied to us and pampered those. Even Sarkozy did not fullfil his promises. If the Christian democratic Western superpowers are spoiling those nomads of Turkey and Azerbaijan against Armenia, what do we expect from them but…publicly and openly insulting us.
    Even good old Vatican and its, Popes who consider themselves God’s second in command on planet Earth, have hidden important documents since 1915 which condem the Turks of commiting the Genocide, and have just now admitted that. Oh God, oor eyeer Asdvadz?

    All these years… and the Turk, now with its ONLY ally, azeris, have been ably displaying to the whole world their true nature – desecrators of peoples/nations – as Turk leaderships took lives in the evil/vile ways of Armenian non-muslims, abusing and violating humans, changing goals to suit their own needs of the moment. But, yet, and too, all these moments leading to more and more harm to humans – stealing the Armenian nation for themselves by eliminating the Armenians… ubable to be allied with any nations of any time/consequence… For, as Armenian survivors fled to the great nations of the world ( who accepted the Armenians). For too, as Armenian survivors had their need to recover, to re-create their families, then to come together to resume AND to regain their homeland stolen via the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian nation. Turks slaughtered, raped, kidnapped, tortured via Turkish modes, worse, ALL under cover of WWI- not via wars- via Genocides of a disarmed nation… Armenia! And all the Genocides that have followed… and NOT recognized… by all the nations who are too, guilty of allowing all the Genocides!!

    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.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • 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.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. 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
