The French newspaper Le Monde yesterday (24.04.24) continued its eternal lament about the "poor" Armenians with the article "Azerbaijan asserts itself as a regional power".
According to the author, the aggressor is not Armenia, which was supported by France for 30 years, but Azerbaijan. This cry is very long, so I will quote only a few: -
"Taking advantage of the military weakening of Armenia and its former Russian ally, Baku achieved the withdrawal of Russian troops from Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as territorial concessions from Yerevan, while continuing to suppress the internal opposition."
I draw the attention of the readers of the "respected edition" to the very first sentence. Why is the opposition mentioned here? How does it relate to this? Like no one. But the author, inappropriately mentioning the opposition in the first paragraph, immediately sets up the readers as he wants, that is, against Azerbaijan and in favor of Armenia. This is a fairly common practice among French journalists. In plain language, this is called fraud.
Further, for example, I will give another sentence from the author:
“Armenia, suffering from the strengthening of its northern neighbor and under constant military pressure, is “behaving well” in the negotiations on border delimitation and has already agreed to the return of 4 villages occupied in the early 90s of the last century to Azerbaijan.”
That is, the occupier is Armenia! But she's good!
Azerbaijan suffered from the occupation of Armenia!
But, nevertheless, according to the author, it is Azerbaijan that is bad
That is why the opposition is mentioned at the very beginning of the article.
I will add that France officially supported the aggressor - Armenia - for 30 years! And now she began to arm him.
By the way, the author is not familiar with the region he writes about - Azerbaijan is not the “northern neighbor” of Armenia!!!
Draw your own conclusions.
Taking advantage of the military weakening of Armenia and its former Russian ally, Baku has secured the withdrawal of Russian troops from Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as territorial concessions from Yerevan, while continuing to repress opposition within the country.
