Beginning in 2021, military forces from Azerbaijan have been occupying the hills that surround and enclose the rural Armenian villages of Artsakh, trapping them in what some residents –all unarmed — liken to concentration camps. For them, memories have been rekindled of the horrific genocide of Armenians by the Turks that killed over 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1917 — especially since Turkey, which has always denied responsibility for the earlier genocide, has allied itself with the Azerbaijanis.
A few days new conflicts have erupted between Azerbaijani forces and Armenians, triggering fears of a spring offensive aimed at displacing if not eliminating the Armenians of Artsakh. This is not just a local fear. U.S. intelligence is warning of renewed aggression by Azerbaijanis (who are Moslem) against Armenians (who are Christians).
Armenia and Azerbaijan on Thursday, May 11, blamed each other for an exchange of fire along their restive border, which killed one person and wounded four
Armenia said four of its soldiers were wounded in the clashes, which it blamed on Azerbaijan. 1 Azerbaijani soldier dead.
“Azerbaijani forces are shooting artillery and mortars at Armenian position in the Sotk region” in the east, Armenia’s Defense Ministry said
Majority-Christian Armenia and Azerbaijan, whose population is mostly Muslim, were both republics of the Soviet Union that gained independence in 1991, when the USSR broke up.
They have gone to war twice over disputed territories, mainly Artsakh / Nagorno-Karabakh, a majority-Armenian region inside Azerbaijan.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the two wars over the region, one lasting six years and ending in 1994, and the second in 2020, which ended in a Russia-negotiated ceasefire deal.
But clashes have broken out regularly since then. The Western mediation efforts to resolve the conflict come as major regional power Russia has struggled to maintain its decisive influence, due to the fallout from its war on Ukraine.
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.„
💭 Euphrates River Originates in Turkey
👉 Euphrates About to Run Dry & Loosen The 4 Angles?
The Euphrates is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. Together with the Tigris, it is one of the two defining rivers of Mesopotamia. Originating in Turkey, the Euphrates flows through Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris.
💭 HUGE Atatürk DAM in Turkey About to Burst & Euphrates About to Run Dry & Loosen The 4 Angels?
Tremor shakes southern province of Hatay, which was worst-affected region in quake two weeks ago.
A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake has hit Turkey’s southern province of Hatay, terrifying those left in a region devastated by powerful twin earthquakes two weeks earlier.
The quake, less powerful than the initial 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes which tore a path of destruction through southern Turkey and northern Syria on 6 February, albeit threatened yet more devastation in a region that had seen many people flee their destroyed homes for the safety of other towns and villages outside of the earthquake zone.
It struck at a depth of just two km (1.2 miles), the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, potentially magnifying its impact at ground level. It was centred near the southern Turkish city of Antakya and was felt in Syria, Egypt and Lebanon.
“It was the first day we’d decided to stay in our house as it’s just one floor, and I was using our heater to try and stay warm, demonstrating what to do in case another earthquake happened,” said Ata Koşar in the Hatay town of Ekinci, who lost his brother, his sister-in-law and his nephew when their nearby luxury apartment block collapsed during the first earthquake.
“I was laying on the floor, and as I was laying there another earthquake happened. We heard what sounded like more buildings collapsing again, and more damage to our house,” he said mournfully.
Witnesses said rescue teams were checking people were unharmed.
Muna al-Omar, a resident of Antakya, said she was in a tent in a park when the earthquake hit. “I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet,” she said, crying as she held her seven-year-old son in her arms.
“Is there going to be another aftershock?” she asked.
The death toll from the quakes two weeks ago rose to 41,156 in Turkey, the country’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority AFAD said on Monday, and it was expected to climb further, with 385,000 apartments known to have been destroyed or seriously damaged and many people still missing.
The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said construction work on nearly 200,000 apartments in 11 earthquake-hit provinces of Turkey would begin next month.
Hours earlier, the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said on a visit to Turkey that Washington would help “for as long as it takes” as rescue operations and aftershocks were winding down, and focus turned to towards urgent shelter and reconstruction work.
Among the survivors of the earthquakes are about 356,000 pregnant women who urgently need access to health services, the UN sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA) has said.
They include 226,000 women in Turkey and 130,000 in Syria, about 38,800 of whom will deliver in the next month. Many of them were sheltering in camps or exposed to freezing temperatures and struggling to get food or clean water.
In Syria, already shattered by more than a decade of civil war, most deaths have been in the northwest, where the United Nations said 4,525 people were killed. The area is controlled by insurgents at war with forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, complicating aid efforts.
Syrian officials say 1,414 people were killed in areas under the control of Assad’s government.
☪ Muslims living in Antakya are very upset. Habib-I Nejjar Mosque, Turkiye’s oldest mosque, built in the 7th century, was also destroyed. Many local Muslims were killed by the earthquake.
“This mosque means so much to us. In every province, we believe that there is a holy person protecting us. This Habib-I Nejjar mosque is so valuable to us Muslims. On Qadr Night (the most holiest day of the year and Ramadan month) we used to come here for prayers. I was wondering how our mosque was as I heard it was in a bad condition.” says Havva Pamukcu, a local Muslim worshiper.

☆ Earthquakes to Drive Insured Losses of $2.4 Billion in Turkey
☆ Turkish Investments in Ethiopia Have Reached $2.5 Billion
Total property insurance and reinsurance industry losses from the dual Kahramanmaras, Turkey earthquakes are estimated at $2.4 billion, with economic losses pegged at close to $20 billion, according to Karen Clark & Company (KCC).
💭 Fresh CCTV footages from Turkey show the collapse of buildings in Malatya during the earthquake on 6 February 2023. A major 7.8-magnitude earthquake had struck Turkey and Syria. The combined death toll in Turkey and Syria has climbed to over 41,000. Damages will probably exceed $20 billion, the risk modelling company Verisk estimated
💭 More than 33,000 people are now known to have died after Monday’s earthquakes in Turkey and Syria – and each hour rescue workers find yet more bodies in the rubble of destroyed towns.
Remarkably, some people are still being found alive. Earlier today a ten year old girl was among survivors pulled out of collapsed buildings in the Turkish province of Hatay.
Turkish sources are reporting that up to one million Turks died in the earthquake. Some cities have lost many family members in their belongings in the quake. Houses, apartments, etc collapsed. Some cities practically ceased to exist and that some Turks are sure that there are 1 Million Dead. Too bad, if true!
But, we can’t be surprised. The reason is that in the last two years alone, Turkey has massacred more than one million Northern Ethiopian Orthodox Christians through the fascist Oromo regime. A hundred years ago, Up to 1.5 million Armenian Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters were wiped out by the Ottoman Empire beginning on April 24, 1915. Even today, Turkey is ready to repeat history and wipe out Armenians from the world vía Azerbaijan. No wonder Turkey remains adamant in its refusal to recognize the Armenian genocide. They don’t want to learn from history because they want to repeat it.
🛑 WW1 and WW2 both started in the year of the Tiger (just like Russia and Ukraine) and got the kickoff in the year of the Rabbit.
☆ Both times, the deadliest earthquake in 1914 (7.0) was in Turkey.
☆ The deadliest earthquake in 1939 (7.8) was Turkey
☆ The deadliest earthquake in 2023 (7.8) is Turkey.

🐯 The year of Tiger – Tigray region of Ethiopia. WW3 started on when the whole world decided to attack the seat of The ARK OF THE COVENANT in Axum, Tigray Ethiopia.
World War III started on Nov 4, 2020 (as America’s presidential election hogs the international media spotlight) after the fascist Oromo regime of Ethiopia supported by Eritrea, the UAE, Turkey, Somalia, China, Iran and many other Eastern and Western nations waged a coordinated Jihad against Christian Ethiopians of Tigray. Even Jewish Israel, to some extent, supported the genocidal Islamic-Protestant Oromo regime of Ethiopia.

“The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible; therefore I devoted the next few months to the study of this work”
Did the US and NATO have a hand in the earthquake that hit turkey? Is NATO and the CIA trying to replace Turkey’s president Erdogan with Cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is currently protected by the CIA in the US?
💭 “Turkey’s Two-Faced ‘Sultan’ is No Friend of The West. It’s Time to Play Hardball” Guardian
President Erdoğan’s increasingly hostile stance towards Nato and democratic principles can no longer go unpunished
That Turkey is a “vital strategic ally” of the west is the sort of truism on which people such as Joe Biden and Jens Stoltenberg, Nato’s secretary general, are raised. Yet what if the old saw no longer holds true? What if Turkey’s leader, exploiting this notion, betrays western interests in a pretence of partnership? Should not that leader be treated as a liability, a threat – even ostracised as an enemy?
Geography doesn’t change. Turkey wields significant influence at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Yet the increasingly aggressive, authoritarian and schismatic policies pursued at home and abroad over two decades by its choleric sultan-president have upended long-cherished assumptions. Turkey’s reliability and usefulness as a trusted western ally is almost at an end.
