Armenia villagers protest territorial concessions to Azerbaijan • FRANCE 24 English

Protesters on Monday staged a rally in northern Armenia against government plans to cede villages to Azerbaijan as part of efforts to reach a peace deal, local media reported. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said his country would return four abandoned villages that it had seized in the 1990s. The move is another step toward normalisation between the two arch-foes and the delimitation of their shared border.

Haha France is more pro Armenian than Armenia itself. Rather however anti Azerbaijani

[rustam]

0:08 Return of Armenia's frontier villages? Are you serious? Since when they are armenian? Armenia itself admits that those were occupied and now hands them back. How on earth a country agrees to deliver it's land to another, is it possible? It was occupied by Armenia's armed forces and now armenian government decides to return those occupied villages as a good will gesture. Armenia is to blame here for invading another countries area. Those 4 villages had azerbaijani population and those inhabitants live as refugees in Azerbaijan, should not they return home?
This is very low-level propaganda from France.

[suren]

We don’t want russian FSB in Armenian territory in so called “zangezur corridor”
Our borders are open to Turkey and Azerbaijan

[kurbansaid]

Concession? - it is just return of territories occupied in early 1990. Again French double standards.

[anarakberov]

This is very biased report, after 0:10 seconds I stopped watching it. If you want to know where these villages locate, then open Google map and see it. Both country agreed to clarify their border according to alma ata agreement, I don't know why this makes uncomfortable France government. Is France really wants to peace in South Caucasia? 0:10

[kaanserin]

The land has never been belong to Armenia. France dont'be that unfair.

[Bloodrunner]

I am not so good in English, but did I right understand that these villages were captured by Armenia in 1990s and now these wonderful and peaceful peasants don't want to return other belongs property? Sorry for my English one more time.

[saadzayed]

Ohh Armenian drama . Whole world are fed up of the Armenian drama

[ans]

Azerbaidzhan and Turkey should return to Armenia Artsakh and western Armenia

[TenTenJ]

There is a double standard on the part of Azerbaijan, believing that Armenians cannot have their 2000 year land Nagarno Karabagh, but Azerbaijani dictator Aliyev must have his disgusting corridor at the price of good honest people.

[Алексей-флл]

Armenia stopped supporting Russia and Russia stopped supporting Armenia

[nafisfuadayon]

France is mad about other countries problem.

[KingAlphaOmega]

I don't blame these two beautiful countries.

[guneycartar]

Biased Report. Territorial dispute yes but armenian territory ceded to Azerbaijan on Georgia Armenia road also hand over Azerbaija

[AG-gcni]

Do you see all these empty houses being brought down? They all belong to Azerbaijan people who had to leave their own house because of Armenian people 30 years ago.

[asammammadov]

It is not a concession but the restoration of justice for the Azerbaijani people, which was only achieved after 30+ years due to major countries, including France, turning a blind eye to this injustice.

[apakansaja]

*That 4villages are Azerbaijan's in Azer aijan land... if Armenia do not want to return the same to Azerbaijan, Aliyez will have no choice but to take over Yerevan for herself.*

[seradar]

Shame on Azerbaijan, as Russia does evil things the same does 106 years old Azerbaijan whose people are hungry and have low salaries because of evil Aliev. Azerbaijan captured 31 villages of Armenia, why doesn't he give them back to Armenia? I am a German reporter.

[radiushadariah]

not concesion, but returm the land to azetbaijsn based ine alma ata treaty of 1991

[dilangunaratne]

Armenians are only remaining christians in that area
