This are the people the UN should put their attention on
UN is busy promoting Hamas Infrastructure
Well said
My ancestors were slaughtered in Kayseri in 1915. Those who survived escaped into Greece and France. My grandfather immigrated to America in the 50s. I thank God for preserving us.
Thanks for covering our story. It's a little too late... No country intervened... and there was no news coverage. We lost our ancestors' lands yet another time to our uncivilized neighbors.
1915 no water araaaaaa hahahaha

You could ask why Pashinyan agreed with Azerbaijan last Summer, in June, that the lands of Nagorno Karabagh / Artsakh were nothing to the Armenian State and were properly belonging to Azerbaijan. You could also ask why Pashinyan told Russia that Armenia no longer wished to avail of Russian Peace-keepers' assistance in either Nagorno Karabagh or in Armenia proper. You should note that Pashinyan made these announcements shortly after Samantha Power of US Aid visited Armenia early last Summer and shortly thereafter, Pashinyan instructed the Armenian Army to take part in military exercises with the French and other NATO States while stating that Armenia had no claim over the lands of Nagorno Karabagh / Artsakh. Pashinyan has been lying through his teeth ever since the Azeris attacked Artsakh while he tries to save his own skin and that of his fellow gangsters in the Armenian Gangster Government. Having made his choice to throw his lot in with US Aid and NATO last June, Pashinyan discovered, to the cost of the Armenian People that neither the EU nor EU/NATO States had the slightest interest in assisting either Armenia or Nagorno Karabagh. Russia has made perfectly clear that it is quite willing to assist and protect Armenia but not while Pashinyan and his Gangsters-in-Government remain in power.
You could live together peacefully with Azeris if you hadn't massacred them in 1990's. Azeris didn't ask Armenians to leave, they left because they are afraid of the punishment of their crimes.
What about people's right to self-governance and self-determination? Why Kosovo can become independent and recognized, and Nagorno-Karabakh can't?
They 100% have the right for self-determination,but they don't have the right to forcefully remove all non Aremenians off by force.
@@ibrahimsuleiman8473 that happend with Serbs also, whats your point?
Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region was "an island" in Azerbaijan with a small population of 120k people. Armenian forces ethnically cleansed 800k non-Armenian Azerbaijanis and occupied 7 surrounding Azerbaijani cities with a twice area size of Nagorno-Karabakh. During the 30 years of occupation, they refused any kind of autonomy and return any land from the surrounding cities.
Kosovo is NOT recognised by most countries-nor should it be.
You comparing people who had self-determination to create their own state, their own political movement and who have their own history with people who settle on land and want these land to be part of another country although the whole world made another decision. Lets compare an Elephant and Pinguin, probably somwere they have something in common
Azeris have oil and money, so world is on their side. That is it.
Armenia had a revolution in 2018 and they chose a pro-American government to lead them. So the Russians are not so eager anymore to come to their aid. Plus Russia is rather pre-occupied in Ukraine right now.
Please read my comment made immediately above in response to @23ncarol.
😎I travel around the world to study people and make videos.
Armenians are mostly helpful and honest to tourists.
Unfortunate that these things are happening.
Humans across the world have STOPPED seeing others as HUMANS for a LONG TIME!
Mahatma Gandhi/ Mandela/ Luther King/ Buddha 's ideals have died! I WONDER WHY THEY STILL GIVE OUT THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!
More love from Islam....wake up world
azerbaijan is allied with israel😂, geopolitics ain't that simple mate
Even atheist can show love being human, stop mixing religion with politics
Why did this exodus occur in autumn 2023?
The answer lies in the fall of 1991, when the Azerbaijanis were expelled from Karabag. It wasn't that long ago, the Armenians know what they did back then. I guess they left Karabag out of shame. There was no danger or safety risk. They could drive away comfortably in their cars.
Thank you for covering this tragedy today, when most people focused on other wars. This people were forced to leave their homes two times since 2020. Can’t imagine what they went through. My blessings to them. 🙏🙏🙏
free armenian
Poor people. They should blame those who ignited ethnic hatred and separatism on Azerbaijani land. Russia, Europe and USA were the ones who supported ethnic cleansing or Azerbaijanis in Armenia proper and Karabakh in 1990s.
The Azeri people are Turks, they committed the first genocide in 1915, the Armenian genocide.
So the USA, EU and UN will help Kosovars, but not Armenians.
They didn’t help us they created the war dig in deeper besides why would any one help Armenia they are pro Russian as usuall we kosovars have been alone for ever period and we didn’t do genocide to any one Armenia willingly have killed many people
Cry moreeeee😢😢😢😢😢
All Middle East people coming to Bundesrepublik now?
Yes
OIaf invited them.
This is possible, but Armenia and Azerbaijan are not in the Middle East.
@@erikt1713 ok 👍 i know talking about Arabishe Clans
Armenians are welcome. Azerbaijanis and Turks No!
Anyone who thinks Azerbaijian did anything right here is kidding themselves. They have no legitimate claim to Nagorno-Karabakh, especially when the last referendum there was in favor of self-autonomy rather than being annexed to either them or Armenia.
Wtf you are talking?😂
Yes they are when you illegally occupied 25% of their territory..
Except it Karabah belongs to Azerbaijan
You have no idea about history.
@@denizkizilates3063 I'm willing to bet I have a better idea than you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why aren’t we hearing about this?
because azerbaijan is the closest ally of israel😂
It is painful, but at least this ends the conflict and the Armenians can focus on their future elsewhere. It was similar for the 12 million Germans who had to leave the parts of their country claimed by Poland and Russia.
In the long run this is preferable to endless suffering as the Palestinians are experiencing.
Nothing similar to Palestine. Armenians in Karabah were offered to live there as part of Azerbaijan, they refused so they left as internationally this territory is considered Azerbaijan.
Palestine claims the territory of Israel by their own, and will have to accept the international decision.
@@wanderer2246 it's an international injustice...
yup, Palestinians should also leave their lands to put an end to the conflict and focus their future elsewhere. In the long run this is preferable to endless suffering they have experienced in the last decades.
Edit: I am being sarcastic in case some people did not figure that out.
@@goldfingerstrade2445 Those countries, iran, russia, palestine, armenia relating to karabah, and others. They are not acting as part of international community. They are relying on their desires and promises from those who want to build their own empire (russia, iran). Think about it, 70+ years, one generation, palestinians are fed by their goverment with idea of destroying another nation and establishing border nobody will accept.
@erikt1713 Their future elsewhere.... what an ignorant comment. Let Azeris look for their future elsewhere... We have been on our own lands for thousands of years. Bring a map showing Azerbaijan map.... where was it before 1918?
Victoria 0:46 I am sorry for your lost. However the same situation happened 30 years ago to Azeri population of Karabak. The only difference was the fact that they left all their properties and left those lands bearfoot without any vehicle. They were invisibile to the international mass media.
Have you proof of this claim? Even in Europe we know this never happened
@@1234smileface Look at wikipedia First_Nagorno-Karabakh_War "
Civilians displaced:
724,000 Azerbaijanis[35] from Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding areas
300,000-500,000 Armenians[35] from Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh and Nakhchivan
@@1234smilefacein 1990 there were no cell phones available to video recording of most armenians crimes against Azerbaijanis. But there are still enough international journalists that took video records of this atrocities!
This is misinformation that they teach you in your schools as a azeri kids, so that you will hate Armenians and love your dictator Aliyev. No one carpet bombed your people like you did to them.
Why did they massacre Armenians in Baku and Azerbaijan in 1990
It's a tragedy. But what Azerbaijanis faced at the hands of an invading Armenian army 30 years ago was much worse. In a matter of weeks, more than 600,000 Azerbaijanis were forced to flee the same area. And there were no safe corridors for Azerbaijani civilians trying to escape. The single biggest massacre of civilians was committed against Azerbaijanis in the town of Khojaly (or Xocali) in Feb. 1992. It's sad that DW has no mention of the recent history in its reporting.
victim card rejected. azeris were massacring armenians themselves
@@Mikorobyowe all know who plays victim card always
@@orhanicosyeah, Azerbaijan and Turkey, who migrated to Armenian and Greek lands in the 11th century, carried out 3 genocides (the Armenian, the Greek and the Assyrian) where millions of people were massacred, and now they cry about “Azerbaijani genocide” (which no one recognises as genocide) of Khojaly where only 200+ people were massacred. Not even a fraction of what you did to Armenians, not even counting Greeks and Assyrians
Azerbaijanis were displaced from that same place in 1990s. International law says Nagorno karabak is Azeri territory. But, Armenias can stay and become Azeri citizens. However, they don't want to be part of Azerbaijan
The truth always come out. You are repeating what your government tells you to say.
@@shaqueha.5017douchebag, in Azerbaijan more than 1 million people who lost their homes and family members due to Armenian aggression repeat this.
no, they just dont want to be murdered and beheaded like in an isis style video, which you did plenty of in 2020 and 2016, not to mention in the 90s
@captainblackbeard7840 You are clueless, my friend. ISIS has nothing to do with real Islam . In fact, Isis was the goddess of magic, which was crucial to ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. She is known by her Greek name Isis; however, the ancient Egyptians called her Aset. Her name translates to “Queen of the Throne” which is reflected in her headdress, which is typically a throne. Azerbaijanis are tolerant and kind but, they will not compromise on national sovereignty. So, if you don't recognize Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 ...you may live in Armenia then. It's because, of Islamophobia.
That genocide of the Armenians was done by the Ottoman Turks in 1915
It was for sure done by kurds, but I doubt the Ottoman government had something to do with it. Even the kidnapped and enslaved woman and children ended up being kurdified and islamized under kurds, not Turks.
Ottoman Empire was collapsing at the time. Their former subjects revolted and fought against the ottomans all over the empire. Armenian gangs terrorized Turkish willages , sabotaged supply lines for the army , some ethnic Armenian joined in rank with Russians. Forcefully relocate Armenian and arresting leading Armenian figures was ordered. These are shameful historical facts. Armenians were not targeted solely for their religion or ethnicity. It's easy to sit in a war Free zone and blame peoples actions. It was war of survival and people responsible for their people made harsh decisions. We were living together for hundreds of years, Armenians were called millet-i Şadiye which means loyal nation by previous sultans. Nationalist movement shaped the history around the globe. Transition was never pretty and still isn't so.
Poor Armenians!!!!! They don't have gas and oil like Azeris........
In Israel we learnt it already. This is why we are our allies. I think Turkey and Azerbaijan feel confident because they thought Israel is on her knees. And Russia won't help Armenia because then it will be Russia against Turkey
Islamix species needs to be taught a lesson
Don’t show one side
Another way??

What is western countries are waiting for .
because azerbaijan is the closest ally of israel😂
This is the problem with religion.
Nationalities
Atheists blame region for all human misery.
How foolish their reasoning sounds when you consider how Ukraine and Russia essentially belong to same Church. And the last Two World Wars were fought based on political differences and greed; Not religion.
😂😂
Religion has nothing to do here. The issue is Azerbaijan being a fabricated country just like Isreal and wants to expand its territory by occupying Armenian lands.
Europe supports Ethnic cleansings. Every European nation has recognised Azheri claim on Nogorno Karabakh but at the same time has refused to protect the people whose land is called Nogorno Karabakh.
In 1990-th there where real ethnic cleansing, on much higher scale as well as occupation of more than 20% of Azeri territory.
Nice try to misrepresent the situation. This conflict was never about people, it was about land. And EVERY single country in the World recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijam. Why? Because legally there is no discussion. There are documents, there are agreements. Azerbaijan is the rightful owner of the land. That is the reason why even Armenia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan (while unofficially trying to control it, which of course failed in the end).
@@user-fe2oh8oj2u Lol, there are videos of Azheri atrocities, use of banned weapons. Also the fact that Azheris have terrorised civilians and hasn't yet agreed to rehabilitate those displaced by wars.
Lying won't get you anywhere especially with Russia who will soon come back.
@@mityabor @mityabor You are banking on the fact that people do not know about Sumgait (1988) and Baku (1990) pogroms. In the 90's you got the much deserved answer.
@@user-fe2oh8oj2u Ok, but what about people's right to self-governance and self-determination? Why Kosovo can become independent and recognized, and Nagorno-Karabakh can't?
Ну мелковатый винибред! 😏
Armenia was obsinate for various reasons and lost it all over N-K
Putins CSTO is the best alliance in the world
It is disappointing to see that DW has portrayed the migration of Karabakh Armenians as some sort of "forced migration" or "ethnic cleansing." Azerbaijan's policy has been very clear since day one; they want to reintegrate Karabakh Armenians and grant them citizenship on an equal basis. Some Armenians gave interviews at the Lachin crossing and confirmed that they were not being pushed out or forcibly removed by Azerbaijan. Instead, they expressed that they were leaving because they believed living together with Azerbaijanis would be intolerable for them.
You know damn well the azeris are just saying that to save face. Why would Armenians want to try to live along side Turks ? Look at history
@@Hc.krd1 If Karabakh Armenians doesn't want to try to live alongside Turks then why are the Turks being blamed for their migration east? Clearly it was their own decision to leave, they just won't bury their hatchets.
There is heavy racism in Azerbaijan against Armenians, don't believe anything politicians say, Armenians will get massacred if they stay there, especially after an attempt at independance...
@@Hc.krd170k Armenians living in turkey
@@caralhoguy yeah with Turkish names and pretending to be Turkish, of course they are living there. It’s not like they are the ones who done anything to you in the first place. You are the ones who done something to them

Unfortunate consequence of their irresponsible politicians' illusions and their uncompromising nationalism.
Just like Palestinians
@@sunnymitra6372 There can be similarities but the two conflicts are completely different in essence. Palestinians have never had the upper hand similar to that of Armenians when they took over Karabakh (+ surrounding territories) and cleansed over half a million Azeris from their homes in the '90s. Now the Azeris just revenged and took back the land by force taken from them by force. End of story.
Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan is not in Europe. But in Asia.
Because most Armenians now live in the Americas. Armenia will become part of Azerbaijan 🐺🤘🇦🇿
This is absurd! Armenia (regardless of religion) occupied 20% of the neighboring country, kicked out 700k native population and held it illegally for 30 years! After 30 years of patience and fruitless diplomatic efforts Azerbaijan freed its internationally recognized territories. What else is there to discuss?
Why did u leave out that 94% of the population in that land is Armenian, why did u leave out the fact that ancient Armenian historical sites lay there, why did u leave out the fact that there was a referendum where nagarno Karabakh voted an insane majority for self autonamy which was never respected or recognized by Azerbaijan, please include this info if ur gonna share your opinion.
@@somerandomduud4086 Do you really want to talk about ancient lands? And nope, there was no legitimate referendum. Even Armenia didn’t recognize it, so sounds really weird… It was a simple military OCCUPATION until Azerbaijan restored its internationally (not mythically ancient) recognized territories and offered the Armenian civil population to stay and enjoy all the rights.

Tbh Europe or America didn't care about Armenia; they didn't even know that Armenia existed.
Sending hate to Azerbaijan from 🇸🇦
Isn’t it funny you talk about Armenian separatists as a victims? Armenian separatists massacred Azerbaijanis of Khojali in 1992, forced Azerbaijani population of Karabakh to flee from their homeland in barefoot. Lots of Azerbaijani women were raped, kids killed. This video doesn’t provide all reality of the conflict. Finally after 30 years of occupation now Karabakh is liberated from terrorists! Azerbaijan showed mercy and let Armenian separatists to leave without bloodshed. They are now in Armenia in their homeland! I hope peace agreement will be signed and no more war between to nations.
I wonder what you have to say about the hundreds of Armenians who were killed, tortured, and raped in the Baku, Sumgait Pogroms, and Maraga Massacre, or the over 400 thousand Armenians who were forced to flee Azerbaijan as a result of the first war.

Sure
🤣🤣🤣 it is misinformation only for Turks and Azerbaijanis. I see from your nickname that you’re Azerbaijani 😅
04:19 Of course Russia didn't intervene. Russia (like EVERY other country in the World) is recognizing "Nagorno-Karabakh" as part of Azerbaijan. So how can Russia intervene when Azerbaijan is taking its own land back ?
Because it never was Azerbaijan land.
Azerbaijan as a nation was created by Turkey to counter Russian influence in the region and more importantly, stop Armenian growth.
Azerbaijani language and culture are essentially just another regional Turkish dialect, they still understand each other to this day.
Orthodox churches built in Nagorno date back to 100AD.
I do not supposed you think the Turks built them? Turks did not even exist back then, it was all Greek and Armenian land.
Lets see, there are approx. over 100.00 Turks in Germany, in some Areas they are even the majority, like in some district of Berlin, Cologne and so on. Now imagine, the German Gov. and military would move into those Areas and chase them back to Turkey, confiscate their belonging and of course kill some of their able bodied men and arrest some more. Can you imagine the outrage we would experience? But this way around its fine? And don't try to come with the argument, that those turks are integrated and paying taxes etc, thats simply not true. The truth is they have their own shadow economy, do not pay taxes, do not abide to german law sometimes even for generations do not learn the german language. Your turn.
It is completely Russia's fault. But you have to accept the reality now. Only power works. Many people in history got lazy and got destroyed.

@@SMGJohn , I will tell you a secret: NOBODY CARES ABOUT HISTORY. If we go by your logic, we should give Western half of the World to Italians (because it belonged to Roman Empire) and Eastern half of the World to Mongolians (because it belonged Mongol Empire). It's ABSURD logic.
History doesn't matter. What matters is agreements, treaties, documents. There is a reason why EVERY SINGLE country in the World recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. There is a reason why even ARMENIA recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan.
It was a trap for Russia, a two front war. Wait till Russia is done with Ukraine, you will understand what it means to bring Nato to Russian borders...
And all was sudden.. never heard of any documentary about ethnic 1mln Azerbaijanis cleansed from Karabagh. I don't even mention 300k Azerbaijanis deported from today's Armenia. Very biased reportage.
DW: This is a one-sided biased reporting where nothing is mentioned of the atrocities committed by the Armenians over 30 years of occupation of internationally recognized sovereign territories of Azerbaijan including and not limited to Khojali massacre in February 1992 and explosion of one million ethnic Azerbaijanis from their homes in Karabakh. Showing a grandmother baking cookies and reminiscing Karabakh is a misrepresentation of the 30 years of suffering by the people of Azerbaijan. Hope you get the extent of your biased reporting.
Armenia should join Russian federation. Only Russia can save then. West won't because there is no gas there
Azerbaijan has a lot to offer unlike armenia
That’s for supporting Israel
According to international law, Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan.
Karabakh has never officially been the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
Although Armenian nationalists disputed Karabakh at the beginning of the 20th century, the USSR confirmed Karabakh as the territory of Azerbaijan USSR.
The "Great Armenia" nonsense of the Armenians destabilized the South Caucasus and caused the death of thousands of people.
In the 21st century, Armenians do not consider the borders of international law and dream of the borders of former empires. They also claim territory in Georgia, and this is unacceptable.
After the first Karabakh war, more than 1 million Azerbaijanis left the region. Personally, I am an internally displaced person from Lachin district, where the corridor is located. They destroyed our house and I had to live in an old wagon 3 meters long and 6 meters wide for 20 years.
As long as the Armenians do not put an end to the "Great Armenia" nonsense, they will harm both themselves and others in the South Caucasus.
So the USA, EU and UN will help Kosovars, but not Armenians.
You see, unlike Serbia, Azerbaijan has gas and oil which they can use to pressure European politicians into compliance. The US also wanted to have a military base in the Balkans so that was another reason.
Don’t let us get in any body else way if they can prove that the country belongs to them either way the nation of Europe and America didn’t have a choice they should of never gave our lands in 1912
The Azeri people are Turks, they committed the first genocide in 1915, the Armenian genocide.
Can you please research and tell me how many pogroms have happened in the beginning of the century around the world. Also how many have been committed against your perceived enemy the turks?
