I am loving the Baku-funded social profiles suggesting Armenia is the aggressor in the recent border clashes with Azerbaijan. At the risk of offending them, I might offer 10 facts with this thread...

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 1 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): Armenia has one of your tanks. I assume this was taken because it entered Armenian borders, unless Yerevan has invested in some magical magnetic armour.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 2 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): While Armenia took one of your invading tanks as a souvenir, Azerbaijan took the roof off an Armenian village's kindergarten with one of their attacks.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 3 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz was greeted by "protestors", demanding "Death To Armenia", "End The Quarantine, Start The War". This did not and would not happen in Armenia.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong
FACT 4 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz continues to refuse fully funded gunfire locator systems at border between Armenia/Artsakh and Azerbaijan. Armenia/Artsakh do not.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 5 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz called OSCE Minsk Group-initiated peace talks, co-chaired by the U.S., Russia and France, "meaningless" days before the attack.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 6 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz thinks Yerevan (born 2800 years ago) was once part of Azerbaijan (born 102 years ago), therefore claims ownership over Armenia.

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 7 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): The military commanded by @azpresident / @presidentaz threatened missile attacks on Armenia's nuclear power station. There is a nuclear terrorist on one side, but Armenia is the aggressor?

#StopAliyev
FACT 8 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz succeeded his dad as president/dictator, meaning only an Aliyev has ruled over Azerbaijan since independence from Soviet Union. More a character reference than a border fact.
FACT 9 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz made his wife his vice-president literalising House of Cards. Another case of "more a character reference than a border fact".

#StopAliyev #ArmeniaStrong #ArtsakhStrong
FACT 10 (for Azerbaijani profiles suggesting Armenia is the border aggressor): @azpresident / @presidentaz once called election results before anyone voted, and was proven corrupt by the Azerbaijani Laundromat investigation. OK, more of a character reference than a border fact.
