Again, another Turkish journalist is to be thrown in jail for - according to Turkish Penal Code 301 (insulting the Turkish Nation, the Turkish Republic, its government or governmental institutions), one of the leading London-based Armenian activists, Odette Bazil says.

Azerbaijan continues its habit of distorting history: while accusing Armenia of every mortal sin, it pretends to be a lamb, misunderstood by everyone in the world except Turkey. It was ex-President Heydar Aliyev who first tried to "rewrite" the history. Even now, Baku is trying to prove that the resettlement of Azeris from Armenia was "the doing of Armenians."

A report on the opening of direct Yerevan-Van flights threw Baku into another fit of hysterics. Azerbaijan seems to believe that any Armenia-related step initiated by Russia or Turkey must be coordinated with Baku for fear of the “righteous anger” of Ilham Aliyev.

On 1 March, five years after the tragedy of post-electoral unrests in Yerevan with 10 casualties, it is worth noting that Armenia today is no longer comparable to Armenia in 2008. Today, all political forces are represented in the parliament, there is freedom of assembly, freedom of the media, the electoral law has been improved following the recommendations of the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission, the technical organisation of the elections has improved, and most importantly, there is no violence on the streets.

Turkish President’s congratulating his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargyan on reelection came as a whole new reason for Baku’s hysteria.

Every now and then, Istanbul turns into a city that poses extreme danger to Armenians. This does not mean it had been safe otherwise; still, sometimes Armenians are facing really hard times. Massacres of 1955 which affected Armenians and Jews along with the Greeks were meticulously planned within Turkey's state policy.

The Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili could not but visit Yerevan, and not because of his preceding visit to Baku. The significance of Georgia's Armenian community in the country's life in far greater than that of the Azerbaijani one, and this has its reasons indeed. Saakashvili, on Turkey's advice, zealously supported the Azerbaijanis, and the Georgian Dream, now at power, is trying to minimize the Muslim influence in Tbilisi.

Russian president Vladimir Putin approved the initiative of his government to hold talks with Armenia on signing an agreement on development of military and technical cooperation. A relevant document is published on the official legal information website.

Construction of a wall between the conflicting states has become, so to say, trendy during the past few years. Israel built a wall at the Egyptian border, Cypriote Greeks isolated themselves from the Northern Cyprus, and the U.S. is going to fence off Mexico. Baku decided to join the “trend” by building a wall between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

The year 2013 has just started, and Azerbaijan again voices threats against Stepanakert airport. According to Azerbaijani APA agency, “a high-ranking Air Force and Air Defence official who wished to remain unnamed said that the country permanently controls its air space with radar systems.”
