This war has seriously hurt the Armenian economy. The mine was not only the largest gold mine under Armenian control but also paid $34 million a year to the Armenian state budget in addition to employing 1000s of Armenians directly and indirectly.

Indeed, but Armenia will eventually have to pay up for the 27 years of occupation. The amount will reach in the $10+ billion I think.

Nobody can force them to pay as Russia is standing behind them. the compensation idea is dead.

Not if they are through UN and international courts and settlements. Armenian assets outside of Armenia can then be frozen if they refuse to pay.

There was a UN resolution about Armenian occupation, did it help?

Armenia's oversea assets would hardly be worth $250 million, I would assume.

Point is to stack up these claims, and let them sit there until end of time, crushing Armenia with the burden.

Azerbaijan should push their case in international courts, but it's not America and can't force countries to freeze Armenian assets. Many countries (i.e. look at France right now) would probably ignore or not enforce.

The article is probably referring to areas east of the Armenian border - which is part of the area that Azerbaijan liberated/was part of the deal. There's no way they would just give up arguably the most important piece of strategic land they have left. ( And thats not considering Nakhchivan railway/ road as part of the deal).

Let the armenian diaspora pay the compensation

Zabuh village of Lachin is one of the villages that the Armenians should leave until December 1. Sasun Bagdalgulyan, who settled in the region after the occupation, says the following on his shoulder: "We will not leave our village to the Turks. I will wait to know what will happen at the top of this mountain." The important thing is not what this says: the most important thing is that this woman is civil and is carrying Kalashnikov. The world sees this but does not speak up. Which civil carry Kalashnikov in our contemporary world? This mentality is sick. The occupying mentality is exactly these ..

Good thing UN dictates civilians are those who are unarmed.
