the attack came from Azerbaijan, not Mars: European Parliament MP urges the remaining "both side"-ers to adopt a more targeted language

Speaker Alen Simonyan hosted Andrey Kovatchev, a Rapporteur from the European Parliament.

Simonyan: We'd like to thank the EP for adopting resolutions and reports in favor of Armenia. Let's discuss the Armenophobic rhetoric coming from the higher leadership of Azerbaijan, the destruction of Armenian cultural and religious heritage, and the treatment of Armenian POWs and civilians. //

Rapporteur Kovatchev: An attempt was made to move from the table of negotiations to the battlefield. The attack has been from Azerbaijan, naturally, they have not invaded the territory of Armenia from Mars planet. //

Kovatchev noticed that this is not the time when they should equally call upon the sides on the ceasefire. Security Council chief Grigoryan invited Kovatchev and EU Ambassador Wiktorin for a meeting.

Armenian delegations met their European and American colleagues

The Armenian delegation continues to hold various meetings in Europe to raise awareness on Azerbaijan's military aggression and its consequences.

Armenian MPs after meetings: Armenia has strong support in the European Parliament. The friendship, based on values, is as firm as ever. //

In related news. Armenian officials are in touch with U.S. colleagues to "coordinate" votes, or at least not sabotage each other, on international platforms. Ranking QP MP Edward Aghajanyan revealed some details about their discussions with the U.S. officials who recently visited Armenia. For example, last summer there was an effort by Armenia to promote some resolution (did not clarify what), but the U.S. (likely inadvertently) killed it. Aghajanyan said they are discussing this with U.S. officials. The U.S. delegation members often don't realize the influence they have over other delegations, said Aghajanyan. The goal is to ensure that pro-Armenian resolutions, as long as they don't harm the U.S., are not unintentionally sabotaged on world platforms.

the official opening ceremony of Iran's Consulate General took place in Kapan, Syunik

Foreign Ministers Mirzoyan and Abdollahian attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

FM Mirzoyan: Today is a remarkable day in the history of the Armenian-Iranian centuries-old and friendly relations. I can surely state that the establishment of the Consulate General and its effective operation will give a new quality to the special relations between the two countries.

Today we are also celebrating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations. Over the last 30 years, our path has been marked by our sincere aspiration to develop relations with a spirit of brotherhood. I am confident that from now on, necessary efforts will be made to further deepen the cooperation.

We want to open a similar Consulate General in Tabriz. Iran has always been and will remain a key partner for Armenia. //

... respect the borders; develop North-South trade route to Europe

DM Abdollahian: Thanks for this opportunity. We consider the security of Armenia and the region as our own security. Our policy is to respect territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders.

We view Armenia as one of the most important links of the international North-South route. We'll do everything possible to develop the movement of cargo via this link. Glory to Armenia, glory to Iran, glory to our friendship. //

Consul General Morteza Varamin: Iran will not recognize any change of borders in the region. If any country takes action outside its borders, Iran will respond accordingly. It has been clearly and repeatedly stated by our high-ranking officials that territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders of countries must be respected.

Pashinyan's media outlet publishes another piece "targeting" Russia, listing the countries that would love a "corridor" through Armenia

Yesterday Foreign Minister Mirzoyan stated that sometimes "unexpected" countries want Armenia to give a corridor to Azerbaijan through Syunik. Armenia wants the trade route to be taxed and scanned (if necessary), while Azerbaijan and Turkey want it to be a "corridor" without Armenian involvement. Russia has publicly adopted the same stance as Armenia, but pro-Western critics accuse Russia of having different intentions in reality.

The media outlet owned by the Pashinyan family has published another article without an "author". The previous ones were believed to have been published by Pashinyan himself, although there is no confirmation.

Article: There is no word about a Syunik corridor in the November 9 statement signed by AM-RU-AZ. It's about lifting the communication blockade in the region. Armenia has offered to open 3 border checkpoints on the AM-AZ border, while Azerbaijan wants a "corridor". Who else wants a corridor?

(1) Turkey. For unrestricted access to the Turkic world via Azerbaijan, for preventing possible gas transfers from Iran to Europe, and for preventing Armenia from gaining revenues from East-West cargo transfers.

(2) Russia. To have control over AZ-TR cargo traffic, to have an influence on Iran-Armenia-Europe cargo traffic, and to have more leverage on Armenia and Azerbaijan. Turkey has become the ideal economic partner for Russia after the war in Ukraine; what's missing is a land corridor. Russia could also use Azerbaijan and the corridor for gas exports to Turkey and the West in the future.

Russian officials deny having intentions to give a corridor to Azerbaijan, but the facts speak otherwise: Russia's inaction after Azerbaijan's September attack, Russia's refusal to deliver the weapons purchased by Armenia, and Russian ally Azerbaijan's aggressive behavior on the border with Armenia.

By the way, Turkey and Azerbaijan support the idea of Russia having control over the corridor.

Russia has two options for gaining a corridor via Armenia:

(1) Russia's ally Azerbaijan threatens Armenia through military aggression to the point that Armenia joins the Russian Union or Russia for protection.

(2) Russia's ally Azerbaijan manages to invade Armenian territories and establishes a connection to Nakhijevan. //

Defense Minister Papikyan returns from India; Turkey responds to news about sale of weapons to Armenia

Papikyan's trip to India and DEFEXPO has concluded. It was revealed that Armenia will acquire missile systems, anti-tank weapons, possibly suicide drones, and other flammable stuff from India, after Russia's refusal to sell weapons to Armenia, or even deliver what has already been purchased.

Turkey's FM Chavushoglu: Weapons won't solve issues. Today the Caucasus needs to discuss peace and stability. It's necessary to discuss important topics, such as the corridor. The food and energy crises have created many opportunities. We must focus on peace, and not weapons.

Turkey's MOD Akar: We are not concerned about what they [India and Armenia] do. We are working to protect our homeland, and so does Azerbaijan. Whatever they do, we are ready to protect our homeland from any weapon. //

EU explains the border monitoring mission's duties | OSCE has a separate mission

Armenia has invited not only the EU border mission but also OSCE, [raising the ire of Baku](https://www.reddit.com/r/armenia/comments/y9dab3/oct202022_armenias_gulftosea_trade_eus_26_billion/), which was trying to kill OSCE's involvement in the conflict altogether.

Turkey and Azerbaijan officially protested the OSCE mission's visit. Turkey said the move "contradicts" OSCE's mandate, but didn't explain how. Turkey believes OSCE's goal is to help Armenia now, "after delaying the negotiation process for years". Turkey complained that OSCE didn't even ask Azerbaijan before sending the mission.

The OSCE mission held a meeting in Armenia with the commander of the 2nd Army Corps and the governor of Gegharkunik to discuss the areas affected by Azerbaijan's aggression. The governor will share videos depicting war crimes by Azerbaijani forces.

... why is the EU sending a Monitoring Capacity to Armenia? (separate from OSCE)

Europen Union: It's a response to the agreement reached between the leaders in Prague. The goal is to monitor the situation in the border regions, support confidence building, and assist the AM-AZ border commissions.

There will be regular and ad-hoc reporting on military posture and ceasefire-related developments. This will allow the EU to better support the work of AM-AZ border commissions.

It is a civilian mission consisting of 40 members, located on the Armenian side, with a duration of 2 months.

The advance team arrived on 14 October for preparatory work. The mission launched its efforts on 20 October.

The mission will not have an investigative role. It will report back to the relevant EU institutions. It will not assume an arbitrary role or draw conclusions of a political nature on the basis of its findings.

OSCE and EU teams are separate missions, with no overlap. The EU team will liaise with all relevant international organizations, including the OSCE.

EU's Toivo Klaar: the future of the Armenian population of Karabakh needs to be addressed seriously, the EU has made it very clear that guarantees for the rights and security of the Armenian population of Karabakh will be a key element of a future peaceful South Caucasus

Reporter: Azerbaijan has refused to deploy an EU mission in their territory, and will cooperate with the one in Armenia "as far as it is concerned". Will this reduce the effectiveness of the EU mission?

Klaar: Azeris have committed to engaging with the mission in Armenia through regular contacts between relevant actors on the ground, even without a physical presence on the Azerbaijani side.

Reporter: Azerbaijan has not yet withdrawn from Armenian territories. How will the sides delimit the border per 1991 CIS agreement and UN Charter?

Klaar: Joseph Borrell has made it clear that Azerbaijani forces should be withdrawn. That border exists, even though it is not demarcated. Also, Armenian forces that are on the Azerbaijani side of the bilateral border should be pulled back. Reducing tensions will contribute to the delimitation work.

Reporter: Azerbaijan is pointing to maps from various years for delimitation. What should be used?

Klaar: The administrative borders of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, as it states in the agreement. For lack of any other line, it would be important for the sides to at least agree on this as a starting point for their negotiations.

Reporter: Prague statement made no mention of Nagorno-Karabakh. What's the EU's position on its future, and the existential threat by Azerbaijan?

Klaar: We know how the conflict started and we hear the concerns voiced by Armenia. The future of the Armenian population of Karabakh needs to be addressed seriously and we have been exchanging views with Azerbaijan and Armenia. It is of utmost importance that the security situation around Karabakh remains stable and for an atmosphere of trust to emerge, so that the people can envisage a peaceful future allowing for practical solutions to be found, and ultimately for a process of reconciliation to start. The EU has always made it clear that guarantees for the rights and security of the Armenian population of Karabakh will be a key element of a peaceful region.

Reporter: Should the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict be separated from the AM-AZ peace treaty?

Klaar: We have heard Armenia's position about the need to address Karabakh separately. We also hear Baku's stance. I believe it is essential for Baku to elaborate a comprehensive strategy and engage in a constructive and transparent process of dialogue with the Armenian population in Karabakh, which is supported by the international community. A solution that will ensure Karabakh Armenians’ rights and security is in the interest of the international community.

Eurasian Intergovernmental Council launches in Yerevan

Yerevan is hosting the EAEU economic bloc leaders and officials. They will discuss trade, industrial projects, gas, the elimination of barriers in the EAEU market, and the exchange of information.

... PM of Kyrgyzstan about global trends:

Declining global economic growth rates and a recession are expected in the coming years. We should monitor the events and adopt anti-crisis packages.

To ensure economic stability, the member states have agreed on the 55 decisions of the EAEU bodies. The customs rates for the import of 1310 goods have been nullified temporarily.

... PM of Armenia about trade, innovations, and climate change:

Effective fiscal regulation in the field of electronic trade is becoming more relevant. Armenia supports contemporary solutions for the development of information systems.

Armenia’s trade turnover with EAEU reached $2.8 billion in January-August, an increase of 74% vs last year. Moreover, Armenia’s export has increased twice, and its import – by 58%.

Armenia is ready for constructive dialogue over single gas market regulations that will benefit its members.

Armenia is contributing to the global efforts for mitigating climate change consequences by voluntarily implementing a number of measures for reducing emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

... PM of Russia about "record" trade:

Last year the volume of mutual trade between EAEU states reached $73 billion. It's the maximum during the entire existence of the EAEU. That's +33% vs 2020. The ruble is used for over 70% of payment calculations.

... PM of Russia about gas prices:

While energy prices skyrocket globally, EAEU members are reliably protected from unjustified hikes. It proves that our strategy of integration is right. The creation of single markets for oil and gas remains a priority.

... investments

MinEconom Reshetnikov: We highly appreciate the interest of Armenian entrepreneurs in the Russian economy. Our business environment is also ready to expand its presence in Armenia. Now is a very favorable period for investments, there are more opportunities and niches.

... how is the Russian economy doing?

MinEconom Reshetnikov: Russia has long learned to live and develop in the presence of sanctions. Our domestic market and foreign economic ties are adapting to the current situation and our economy is currently enduring unprecedented pressures. Despite this, we managed to maintain our financial and currency stability.

... no, how is the Russian economy really doing?

Business Insider: Cracks are beginning to show despite high energy prices, especially after the mobilization of 300,000 men, which sent many others fleeing the country.

Russia's Central Bank has reported that the recovery of economic activity stalled in September. By the end of the month, the economic conditions had worsened. The Bank did admit that mobilization had a negative impact on production processes, output, consumer sentiments, and business confidence.

Morning Consult: The decline in Russian consumer and business confidence in the month of September came after it had improved through summer. This is the first time since the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine that Russian consumers appear vulnerable to the economic impact of the invasion. The Central bank acknowledged this, and said that the decline in consumer sentiment may "temporarily hold back" a recovery.

anti-corruption: former ranking BHK MP is charged with hiding wealth in declaration documents, promises to launch a big drama 🍿

Ex-BHK MP Tigran Urikhanyan, a firm supporter of Kremlin and a co-organizer of a recent "Z" rally in Yerevan, has reportedly fled to Russia.

He is charged with not disclosing his real wealth in his 2019 declaration documents. The Anti-Corruption Committee invited Urikhanyan to answer questions but he didn't show up, choosing to leave the country instead.

Urikhanyan: I confirm the media reports about criminal charges against me. I am planning something that will launch a whole new process soon. It will be something that nobody else has done yet: full exposure.

My political career in Armenia is over. It ended when my party received only 1% of the votes last year. Period. I'm not interested in any positions anymore.

After my revelations, if people associated with me find themselves at the center of criminal cases, I want them to know that I have no political motives.

I will reveal what Serj Sargsyan gained by gifting the power to Nikol Pashinyan, how Robert Kocharyan's team member suddenly became a Deputy Prime Minister and still maintains the job, how Ruben Vardanyan's employee Ararat Mirzoyan became a Foreign Minister, how the government began shifting Armenia's foreign policy away from Russia, how thousands of soldiers died in the war, why the war began, when the next war will begin, and the role of Gagik Tsarukyan and other members of Armenian oligarchy.

Those who know me are probably familiar with my intellectual capacity >![pls do tell us about it]!<, and understand that I fully realize the harsh consequences of my revelations, and all the hate I will receive from Serj, Nikol, George Soros media, Americans' favorite platforms, and the rest. I'm going to blow the lid off. Your job is to take moral revenge on people who ruined the country. //

The Russian flag was reportedly seen behind Urikhanyan during the message, indicating he was in Russia. He is the second pro-Russian public figure in recent times to have "fled" to Russia. You may remember Don Pipo who recently launched a Christian-oriented right-wing movement from his new headquarters in Russia.

No further official details are yet available about the criminal charges that forced Urikhanyan to leave the country.

He also fought for Armenians' independence, for which he was persecuted and had his musical instruments confiscated.
