Using Terrorist Groups for Military Ends Unacceptable, Yerevan tells CSTO

Turkey deployed Syrian terrorists to fight against Artsakh

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Armenia considers the use of terrorist groups for military and political gains by individual countries unacceptable and wants to stem the tide of international terrorism within the borders of the Collective Security Treaty Organization member-states, said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during the Russia-led group’s summit in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on Friday.

Armenia took over the rotating presidency of the CSTO on Thursday.

“Our meeting is taking place at a time when radical changes in Afghanistan have created an absolutely new situation in the country, which significantly impacts developments, not only in that country and the region, but also around the world,” Pashinyan said, according to Armenpress. “We are closely following the developments in and around Afghanistan.”

He said statements emanating from Afghanistan about a possible end to military operations, the creation of an inclusive coalition government, respecting women’s rights in the Islamic legal system and eradicating the production of illegal substance were accepted with optimism by the international community.

“The implementation of such actions would have contributed to the establishment peace, discipline and stability in the country. However, we have to note that, at this stage, these intensions are not evident yet in the actions of the Taliban,” said Pashinyan.

“We are confident that a guarantee for a long-term settlement of the situation in Afghanistan is the fair political process with the involvement of all Afghans and with the representation of all ethnic and religious communities in the country,” added Pashinyan.

For this purpose, he said, all sides must reaffirm their readiness to resolve all disagreements exclusively through dialogue and negotiations.

“As a member state of the CSTO, we wish to see peace in the regions within CSTO’s purview,” said Pashinyan.

“Without adequate response at the proper time, this could lead to further escalation of the situation and the infiltration of terrorist networks into neighboring countries and especially conflict zones,” warned Pashinyan. “We strongly condemn terrorism and extremism in all their forms and manifestations.”

Pashinyan called for closer dialogue and mutual partnership to combat terrorism, first of all at the level of law enforcement agencies and special services, proposing exchange of experience and information, as well as conducting effective joint operations for neutralizing terror threats within the CSTO’s operating mechanisms.

      This has nothing to do with Armenia being weak or strong. The CSTO was created to serve Russian interests only. Don’t confuse the Armenian nation with sheepish Armenian leadership who are subservient to their Russian masters. They are two different things. When Russia said Crimea is Russian territory Armenian leaders agreed. When Armenians said Artsakh is Armenian territory the Russian leaders remained silent. Of course we know, at least I do, how Putin thinks and that is the fact that he considers the fall of the Soviet Union as one of the biggest tragedies that befell the Russians. Naturally he thinks everything is Russian and in his mind he does not consider any of the former Soviet republics as independent states. He considers them as Russian territories that got away from Russia and he is trying to get them back into FALSE union.

      Even if Armenia was entirely cleaned of corrupt leaders and was wealthy rest-assured a strong Armenia is a LIABILITY for Russia because it is very important for Russia that Armenia be weak and fully dependent on Russia. The stronger and more democratic Armenian gets the more threat it is going to be for Russia’s interests in the region. Such an ideal and patriotic Armenian state, in absence of terrorist Turkish threat next door, would want Russians gone just like they were kicked out of artificial state of Azerbaboon and anti-Russian Turkiified FAKE Christian state of Georgia. Armenia and Artsakh are the only reliable strongholds and sure things for Russia in the entire Caucasus because they know we need their weapons. If Russia loses Armenia, and now Artsakh too, it will lose its superpower status in the region and its arch-enemy NATO will creep in even further into the so-called Russia’s backyard.

      Russia won’t allow foreign armies be present on Armenian territories. The only way for that to happen is for Russia to pack up and go home and they will not and especially now that they fully and militarily have established themselves in Artsakh as well. We recently saw how Russia treated Armenia when it suspected the collaboration of incompetent leaders with the West. Any foreign entity militarily present on Armenian territories, other than Russia itself, the Russian leadership will consider as hostile move toward Russia and the cunning Russian leadership will punish Armenia by helping our enemies against us.

      This is a complicated region where western and eastern interests clash. Things are NOT as simple as you think they are. There are so many factors to consider. Think harder and come up with realistic and workable solutions. Bumper-sticker remarks won’t do any good!

    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.

    • 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
