LOOK: A brawl broke out in Armenia's National Assembly for the third time in two days Wednesday between an opposition party leader and pro-government MPs
Today I read in the news that the Azerbaijanis have blocked the highway connecting Goris and Kapan. I don't want to say that six months ago I was driving along this road and made a video in which I said in direct text (all this is on YouTube) that "... the Azerbaijanis will definitely arrange a provocation on this road, they will stop Armenian cars or even close the road". Let's leave what happened on the conscience of those who did not know how to predict the situation further than their nose.
I wanted to tell you something else. Exactly 71 years ago, on November 29, 1950, an incident occurred on the border of Israel and Jordan, known as the"Conflict at kilometer 78". We are talking about the 78 kilometer of the desert highway No. 90, connecting Tel Aviv and the port city of Eilat on the Red Sea. This extremely important road for Israel is laid near the border with Jordan, in some sections literally 300-500 meters from the neighboring state.
These were the first years after the creation of Israel in 1948, the country was in a difficult economic and political situation. The bloody war of independence had just ended, hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees were living in tent camps, food was distributed according to the card system. It was far from the Israel that we know today. Then the entire population of the country was 1.5 million.
As a result of the war, Jordan did not recognize Israel's right to exist. With the mediation of the UN, a temporary truce was concluded between Israel, on the one hand, and Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, on the other.
Suddenly, the Jordanian military violated the agreements, invaded the territory of Israel and blocked the aforementioned highway No. 90 leading to Eilat. They, like today's Azerbaijanis, installed shields with innoscriptions in English, Arabic and Hebrew "Kingdom of Jordan. The road is closed. Any Israeli car passing on the road will be destroyed."
Now pay attention. What happened next. Keep track of the dates:
- On November 29, 1950, Jordan entered the territory of Israel and blocked the only road to Eilat.
- November 29, 1950 (on the same day) Israel has filed a complaint with the UN about Jordan's actions. In his complaint, Israel indicated that if the highway is not unblocked immediately and peacefully, the issue will be resolved by force. The UN did not react in any way.
- On December 02, 1950, the Israeli military sent several armored vehicles and a platoon of paratroopers to the 78 kilometer highway. Seeing the Israeli military, the Jordanians preferred to withdraw to their original positions. The highway was unblocked.
- On December 03, 1950, the Jordanians again crossed the border and blocked the road, opening fire on an Israeli bus en route to Eilat. Only by a miracle, none of the passengers were injured.
- On December 03, 1950 (the same day), the Israelis launched an artillery and tank attack on the Jordanian military, who blocked the road. As a result, a Jordanian tank was shot down, 3 Jordanian soldiers were killed. In addition, the Jordanian positions on their side of the border were destroyed. After that, the Jordanians fled not only from the Israeli road, but even retreated from the border deep into their territory for several kilometers. The Israelis immediately advanced and seized a part of the Jordanian territory with a width of 2 to 5 kilometers and a length of more than 150 kilometers, thereby ensuring the safety of the road. It was only in 1994, when Israel and Jordan finally signed a peace treaty and exchanged embassies, that Israel retreated from the territories captured in 1950. And I must say that for 26 years (since 1994), peace and silence reigned on the border, not a single incident.
Why am I telling you this? But guess for yourself.

🇺🇳 A letter from the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the UN, Mher Margaryan, addressed to the UN Secretary-General, drawing the attention of the UN Member states to the attempts of the supreme authorities of Azerbaijan to hush up the unleashed aggression against Artsakh and crimes committed through a distorted interpretation of the right to self-defense of Article 51 of the UN Charter, is being distributed as an official document of the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly.
Referring to the hateful statements and bellicose rhetoric constantly voiced by the Azerbaijani authorities, Ambassador Margaryan emphasizes that in an interview on August 14, the Azerbaijani president admitted that it was Azerbaijan that started the war in September 2020, trying to resolve the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh in its favor.
Thus, Azerbaijan's clear violations of international obligations and the outbreak of war in the context of a global epidemic were officially confirmed in violation of the UN Secretary-General's call for a cessation of hostilities during the global health crisis

❗️❗️ "There are certain positive, public signals from Turkey. We will evaluate these signals and respond positively to them, " Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a government meeting.
Azerbaijan has blocked the road on the sections of Eyvazli and Chayzam. This action violates the agreements of December 2020, and I hope that the situation will be resolved as soon as possible.
In a political sense, this step was taken in order to disrupt the peace agenda that we proposed. Azerbaijan's behavior suggests that such incidents may happen again, we must be vigilant, but we need nerves of steel, and we must promote a peaceful agenda.
We foresaw such a situation and have already started working on new infrastructures, but if Azerbaijan opens the road, it will be a positive signal in the region. Azerbaijan says that this is connected with the stabbing of an Azerbaijani soldier, we check that there is no such thing, if Azerbaijan has information, let them provide it, we will conduct a trilateral investigation with the participation of the Russian side and Azerbaijan.
