I am not at all surprised – and whilst I deplore this, it’s not the same as what they’ve done to Ghazanchetots, Jugha, or what they will inevitably do to places like like Amaras and Dadivank. They should burn for those crimes.

Az captions in the video: “The traces of the junta regime being erased. Buildings constructed during the occupation period are being demolished.”

This dispute should be resolved among two nations in the most peaceful ways. After the dissolution of Ussr, the borders had not been designed well, apparently.

What’s the story behind the skeletal dome? I always thought it was out there after the original got damaged during war

I mean at this point, who are we more upset with? The “people” who had been saying for 30 years that they’re going to avenge and retake “their” lands, and have been preparing to do so for that long?
Or should we be more upset at the oligarchs in power who lined their pockets, embezzling millions, keeping their military at that same outdated level for that long, instead of preparing for the inevitable invasion, for 30 years?
They never minced their words at what they were going to do in regards to Artsakh, and they’re not mincing their words now. You can’t blame a scorpion for being a scorpion. It’s their nature. All you can do is prepare, and we put corrupt people in place who did nothing but profit, to defend against the scorpions.
Maybe hindsight is 20/20, but we should have seen this coming. CSTO failed, the West is currently failing as over 30 villages in Armenia proper are currently under AZ rule. We are on our own. Russia will always side with them because through them, Russia profits majorly by selling their oil to Europe, via AZ ad a middleman. Since the EU can’t outright buy the oil from Russia directly because of the boycott of their Ukraine war, and would never side with Armenia over AZ because of the aforementioned oil they purchase from AZ. We are on our own. Time to think pragmatically.

Blimey — I assumed that Azerbaijan’s taxes would more preferably pay for “national modifications” of any buildings that remain strongly intact. This is a bloody waste of resources for all future denizens, be they Armenian repatriates or Azeri citizens/settlers.

Why would they destroy solid buildings when they have so much poverty outside of Baku ?

Unfortunately all in the 21st century, we learned the new order is bullchit, ethic cleansing is ok, and erase the history of 2500 year culture is good for progress.

Literal and metaphorical destruction of democracy.
Nagorno-Karabakh scored higher in freedom and democracy than Azerbaijan.
In the report published early 2023: 37/100

In the report published now in 2024: **-3**/100
https://freedomhouse.org/country/nagorno-karabakh/freedom-world/2024
Azerbaijan is 7/100 https://freedomhouse.org/country/azerbaijan/freedom-world/2024
A sad sight to see
