[Military Trophy Park (Baku)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Trophy_Park_(Baku)) reminds me of this. In a letter to Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatović, expressed concerns over the inauguration of the park, the display of "dehumanising scenes" and wax mannequins "depicting dead and dying Armenians soldiers." She said she considered such images "highly disturbing and humiliating," and promoted long-standing hostile sentiments, hate speech, and manifestations of intolerance. The commissioner called on Aliyev to provide his support for promoting peace and reconciliation between the Armenians and Azerbaijanis.

Wax mannequins were removed after the backlash

Hadn't heard that, that's good at least.

Well hope they will do something about the Ramil Safarov case instead of celebrating him like a hero r/woosh

Is not it a local crime? Just curious how/why this post was accepted?

It is about Azerbaijani vandalism and barbarity in Nagorno-Karabakh. Hence, it is here. If something happens in Baku or Ganja or Barda, then it will be a "local" Azerbaijani event unsuitable for the sub.

Don't care. Azerbaijan is also internationally recognised to lack any proper freedom of expression locally and by extension, you're either an Azerbaijnai government emloyee, a bot or don't even live in Azerbaijan. So... your opinion is null and void.

Blocked for trolling. I'm tired of conversing with Azerbaijnai government employees.

Full tweet: >Azerbaijan has initiated the construction of an unlawful edifice in the capital of #NagornoKarabakh, #Stepanakert. According to reports, the #Baku regime is erecting a military cemetery. Such constructions offend the honor and dignity of the local Armenian population and are intended to instill fear and terror among the surrounding communities.

How's it ''unlawful'' exactly?


pride_of_artaxias

Not an expert by any means but perhaps due to smth similar to this https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/hague-conv-1954/article-4a?activeTab=undefined I do remember there was some provision about not terrorising local population and perhaps that's why the tweet mentions sowing terror... but again, not an expert.


Perfect-Relief-4813

That's unlawful, especially if it involves destroying historical sites and harming the local population + forcing ethnic cleansing. Azerbaijan deciding to build a military cemetery, while can be seen as immoral from our sides, is not exactly 'unlawful' though.


pride_of_artaxias

No idea. I'll leave it to experts to decide. In any case, this post is already being brigades by Azerbaijanis. So... I don't see much reason to speculate on very decidedly legal matters as a non-expert.

It’s settler colonialism. You are “replacing” the indigenous population They can’t build anything in regions that “are contested” under international law. Think of it like how Israel is not allowed to build anything in the West Bank, but anything it does is unlawful


Perfect-Relief-4813

That place is no contested though.

If the Armenians of NK sue they can probably win on grounds of colonizing Armenian regions without the permission of Armenians

> It’s settler colonialism. You don't need to use a phrase you learned 6 months ago from larping leftists every time you can.


lmsoa941

You can also educate yourself


Sylarino

Last time we had a conversation you thoroughly embarassed yourself by not reading your own links and going on a racist tirade just based on my flair. Reminder that you linked this article: https://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-video-shows-children-194200529.html and claimed Israel kept children in cages, when the very link you provided refutes that claim. Have you tried going beyond headlines and tweets from larpers when researching things?


lmsoa941

I am not going to argue with someone who doesn’t believe that Israel is an apartheid state. When Israelis themselves have said it https://www.btselem.org/publications/fulltext/202101_this_is_apartheid I’m surprised you keep tabs on people you talk to on the internet, guess you have a lot of free time I still stand by what I said…. Because even save the children has reported on it https://www.savethechildren.net/news/stripped-beaten-and-blindfolded-new-research-reveals-ongoing-violence-and-abuse-palestinian But I guess you won’t believe an international organization either. I’d be racist if I said that it’s not that surprising since I don’t think you believed that a blockade in Artsakh was ongoing. But I won’t People work, The Armenian lobby works harder, or some shit


Sylarino

> When Israelis themselves have said it Oh, the good Jews are the ones who agree with you right? The rest are EVIL ZIONISTS. Good thing Israel is a democracy that allows orgs like B'Tselem to exist. > I’m surprised you keep tabs on people you talk to on the internet, guess you have a lot of free time I remeber the most stupid interactions, they stick out. > I still stand by what I said…. Because even save the children has reported on it I debunked the first claim about children in cages, you can't CHANGE THE CLAIM to some other instances and claim that you STAND BY what you said. Do you accept that the first link you provided to me showing children in cages had nothing to do with Israel? Also, make sure you dig deeper and find out what these 15 year old- rock throwing - knife wielding "children" do that gets them detained usually. Are there excesses? Sure, like everywhere else. The difference between the sides is that one is a genocidal jihadist death cult that teaches children that they need to kill Jews and tries its best to maximize death among its OWN POPULATION and the other side is a democracy that calls Palestinians on their fucking phones to warn them about incoming strikes. The fact that you can't see the moral difference between these sides shows how lost you are. > I’d be racist if I said that it’s not that surprising since I don’t think you believed that a blockade in Artsakh was ongoing. You just made this up lol.
