The failure of the EU and Germany could not be greater: In an attempt to replace the most important gas supplier because of its war of aggression, which violated international law, they sought a new gas supplier, who wages a war of aggression in violation of international lawBut while in the case of Russia's attack on Ukraine, politics and published opinion largely march in lockstep, in the case of Azerbaijan's attack on Armenia they equally practice silence and equidistance.
For the oldest Christian people in the world, which was founded a good hundred years ago narrowly escaped complete destruction by the Turks, this is another disaster. Encouraged by the embarrassing gas begging visit According to the President of the EU Commission, Azerbaijan's dictator Aliyev continues his genocidal war of annihilation against the Armenians - heavily armed by NATO member Türkiye, Israel and Russia, Armenia's supposed protecting power.
The Foreign Minister remains silent, the Chancellor plays it down
The "values-based" foreign policy of the alleged international lawyer and Green Party Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was officially ended with the mass murder of over 100 Armenians in just one day, without her comment. Her press spokesperson expressed herself with the greatest possible equidistantness: "No aggressor could be named."
Due to the lack of independent international observers on the ground, this cannot be independently verified. I also believe it is not a good idea to compare this conflict with what happened in Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine in violation of international law, and I would at least not embrace drawing parallels to that.

The only problem is that, apart from common sense (Azerbaijan's military budget is larger than the entire Armenian state budget), at that point the US State Department had already spoken of clear evidence of Azerbaijan bombing Armenia.

Chancellor Scholz did, at least, say a few sentences about the conflict on the occasion of a visit by the Georgian Prime Minister, which “no sense" The Chancellor also said nothing about who – once again – was the attacker and who – once again – was massacred.
EU Commission President von der Leyen even managed to Speech on the state of the EU and the Ukraine war, without even a word about the latest bloodlust of what she calls “reliable partner“ praised Dictator Aliyev to enter into.
Journalists relativize mass murder with international law
This total failure of the human rights policy of the German government and the EU would actually be a perfect opportunity for the opposition and the media. But they are making it difficult for the government with few exceptions surprisingly easy. A particularly popular myth is that international law, of all things, is on the side of the aggressors in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The disputed Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan under international law

However, under international law, the area lies on Azerbaijani territory

This is sheer nonsense, copied dozens of times in German editorial offices. Quite apart from the fact that Azerbaijan's recent attacks did not take place in Nagorno-Karabakh, but on the Armenian heartland. Background to the conflict are also largely ignored. Those familiar with these facts are aware of the existential threat to the Armenian people, decimated by numerous massacres in Azerbaijan and the Turkish genocide of 1915.
Critical voices are increasing
It currently seems entirely possible that things will come to a head: ethnic cleansing, the expulsion of Armenians not only from Nagorno-Karabakh, but also from the heartland—a continuation of the genocide. Some politicians and journalists are well aware of this significance:
Even though many German media remain silent, the oil dictatorship is currently invading democratic Armenia.
