There are a number of factors that further contribute to such behavior of the Azerbaijani side. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)) David Babayan, referring to the information spread by the Azerbaijani side about the identification of a group of servicemen and civilians allegedly working for the Armenian special services.

How soldiers were recruited in Baku in the early 90s
A short story of my life where I almost became a warrior
The beginning of the 90s. Battles were fierce in Karabakh and the surrounding areas. People came to power by walking over the corpses of their compatriots from Khojaly, adored by all Heydar Aliyev “The Bloody”, because he was the president of Azerbaijan. Having estimated the situation in the country and the permanent defeats at the battlefront, the first thing Heydar decides to do was to declare a total mobilization. Only this was not a mobilization like in civilized countries. Aliyev knew perfectly well that the people do not want to fight, so he ordered to forcefully force them to be dragged to the battlefield. The propaganda machine was then in its infancy and had little effect on the fragile minds of the population, but the decision had already been made. A decree was issued to grab all young people right from the streets and to send them to the battlefront!
The methods used at that time were similar to fascist. They would grab everyone indiscriminately as if the police were given not just an instruction, but a direct order to fulfill a definite number of soldiers to be sent to fight. The more rams they send, the bigger bonus they would receive. Therefore, even gray-haired and elderly people were grabbed, who did not fall under the age of conscription at all.

Azerbaijan Accused of Giving Millions in Bribes to Council of Europe
What a surprise!?
For years, the government of Azerbaijan has been showering politicians and dignitaries from around the world with expensive gifts, such as silk carpets, gold, silver, caviar, cash, and all-expense paid trips in exchange for their votes in favor of Azerbaijan and against Armenia and Artsakh. This illicit practice is so prevalent that Europeans describe it as “caviar diplomacy.”

Why do you need it?
They ask me: “Why do you need this?”. I answer – I will not be silent anymore.
My name is Konstantin Adamov, I am an ethnic Armenian born and raised in the Soviet Union in the Azerbaijani SSR in Baku. After the collapse of the USSR, I found myself in a new country with the same name – Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, the collapse of the union occurred simultaneously with the growing tensions in Karabakh. What happened next, everyone knows already.
Why the Armenian-Genocide Film ‘The Promise’ Is Crucial Cinema
t’s easy to be skeptical about preachy “man must” movies. You know: “Man must” not make war. “Man must” not ruin the Earth. “Man must” not be cruel to other people.
The Promise (2016) is not a “man must” movie. Rather, it’s “must-see.”
