At that time, Azerbaijan had attacked Armenia and after four months, with the support of Turkey, recorded a victory in the long-disputed border areas. For Armenians, this was only a brief respite because then on the 13th of September this year Azerbaijani troops attacked Armenia again, and this time a battle is raging in the Armenian heartland, the existence of which is beyond dispute. However, little is reported about this war, despite the fact that Armenia&#8217;s history is already marked by a genocide with German complicity. Is it because \u2013 since Russian gas had to be turned off for strategic reasons \u2013 gas from Azerbaijan is now flowing into the EU? At least that is what the Armenian reporter Tigran Petrosyan, who lives in Berlin, suspects: \u00abBut so that these same Europeans don&#8217;t have to take a cold shower, they are now simply turning to the next dictator: Ilham Aliyev, who \u2013 like Putin \u2013 imprisons dissidents and restricts freedom of the press.\u00bb (\u2039Die Zeit\u203a, \u2039Christ und Welt\u203a, 21 September.) What is certain in any case is that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed an energy alliance with Azerbaijan in Baku in July. At any rate, the western world&#8217;s criticism of the invasion of Armenia and the violation of the ceasefire is muted, not to say non-existent. Aliyev does not need to fear international sanctions and can continue to forge pan-Turkish plans for Transcaucasia with his ally Erdogan in Ankara, in which Armenia as a state or as an ancient Christian population is no longer likely to feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Link<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2039Warum kratzt euch dieser Krieg nicht?\u203a von Tigran Petrosyan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeit.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Picture <\/strong>The capital Yerevan, Armenia.
