But France did worse in Chad and Algeria. France should take Armenians in as refugees.

laurent leylekian and other armenians living in their fantasies ,it’s time to think and decide by new realities .

It is really amazing how armenians expect people thousands of kilometers away to fight their war and invade the land of another country because "they think they should live here".

Israel more than anyone needs this corridor to have a place for its military base in case of war with Iran. Why you think Iran opposes this? This is not about just a road it’s a road that will be used to cut off Armenia from Iran. Don’t forget the big players in this war Israel and Great Britain with its British Petroleum in Azerbaijan

Laurent Leylekian is typical representaive of Armenian poeple and Diaspora, look at situation where he cointoursly goes against 3 people and realities. It is just funny...

MATTHEW BRYZA IS AZERBAIJAN ambassador ( what would you expect from him to say) ??? money money money..

Mathew Bryza’s wife is ether Turkish or Azeri. He has always been very pro Azeri.

Matthew Bryza is married to an Azeri. He converted to Islam. Was married in Istanbul. When he was the United States Ambassador to Azerbaijan, he turned a blind eye to the destruction of the historic Armenian cemetary in Nakhievan by the Azeris. He is not objective but bias.

Matthew ashame on you!!!!!

It didn't start After the collapse of the Soviet Union it started more than 100 years ago Armenians can talk about 1920, among other things. You could say it got a break during the Soviet era. Then Stalin also made a decision to appease Turkey

You need to make a correction. Nakhichevan is not in Armenia. It’s separated from Azerbaijan by Armenia. It borders Armenia, Turkey and Iran.

How embarrassing France 24... 'Azerbaijan has an enclave of its own inside Armenia...' WRONG. Look at your own map. Nakhijevan has borders with three countries - Iran, Turkey and Armenia. It's an exclave, not an enclave.

Mathew is out of job he had for 21 years. Mathew never wanted to or tried to solve the problem. He is the problem for 21 years. He made sure both Azharbaijan and Armenia fight with each other so he has a job. That’s Blood Money he won’t understand.

Nakhjavan (historical Armenian land), where two dictators met, was given to Azerbaijan by communist government, to please turkey, as an Armenian autonomous region (not to escalate argument). Now, not a single Armenian left there and all historic sites were erased. People of Nagorno-Karabakh fought, not to repeat the history of Nakhjavan. The ethnic cleansing was always the goal of Azeri government.

Thank you for the balance broadcasting. I hope that Armenia, Azerbeycan, Russia, and Turkey will establish a peace in the region.

This just proves that armenians did the wrong move invading Azerbaijan back in 1992.. what you do will come back..

Mr. Bryza comments are a bit pro Azerbaijan and turkey, no wonder he is speaking from turkey.

I ‘m really surprised why France24 invited Matthew Bryza , he is just a failed diplomat, who was always biased. you had already invited a guest from Azerbaijan, he would protect Azerbaijan’s views without Bryza too

Thank you Maphew for hearing the context the way it is meant.

Matthew Bryza enough, you lied too much

Why not have the southern corridor go through Iranian territory and avoid the contentious political situation? Yeah…. Borders DO matter.

how much is bryza charging alievs for blatantly repeating az lies?

6:57 - "I've been working on this conflict for 21 years, either at the white house, or the state department, or now with think tanks..." - listen carefully to what he is saying, write it down, and read between the lines...

Hold accountable Azerbaijan for war crimes in Artsakh Armenia !!!!!!!!!! Praying for innocent Armenians ❤ stay strong my first Christian Nation !!!!!

France lost its role in the world thanks to Napoleon. Let Russia lose its role thanks to Putin. Ouch, aches.

Europe should give immediate refuge to those poor people. But I forgot, those are not islamist trespassers to be protected by the bought-out by Gulf money politicians in Brussels.

Laurent Lalekyan is utterly unprofessional and simply does not tell truth.

First, for the past 10 month 140 thousands Armenians , 30 thousands kids , were starving .., cut off from Armenia , world .. no one country , leader condemned Azerbaijan 🇦🇿! Outrageous!!!!

The US Ambassador to Azerbaijan makes a good Azerbaijani President! Since he does not appear to speak as a US Represenative.

It's like asking Greeks to love Turks, never happen in a million years...

Armenia: With ''friends'' like Russia who needs enemies?

The land corridor between Nakhchivan in Western Azerbaijan and Eastern Azerbaijan needs full Armenian consent if it’s to go through sovereign Armenian territory. There are also roads on the Iranian side (south of the Aras River) which could be used as Erdogan mentioned with Iranian willingness. However, that’s another thorny issue since Iran and Azerbaijan haven’t gotten along well starting around the 2020 war and even before that with Iranian accusations of Israeli forces (military aid) in Azerbaijan. Both Iran and India have been arming Armenia through the shared Iran-Armenia border. Strange how the Islamic Republic gets along better with Armenia than Azerbaijan. Fact is that more Azeris live in Iran (specially northwest adjacent to Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and Iraq) than in the country of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has a population of 10 million and there are 15 million Azeris in Iranian Azerbaijan.

Well described thank you

Leylekian’s inflammatory and unproven assertions are not helpful. So far it seems like the fuel was not being handled safely. Sabotage helps neither side.

Anyone track the cell phone amounts at that time & place? Electrical charges from phones could have been the trigger.

The right to self rule is some how mired between geo politics and interests of major global powers. If right is given to one group of people than it would have to be given to other people as well. We have Kashmir, spain's basque, Scotland, Manipur, Northern Ireland and many more. So rule based champions keep it simple... keep the status quo. This usually results in violence which one side calls terrorism and other as freedom fighters. Excessed are committed by both sides in such scenarios. France can also go back to its bad behavior in the 1st Vietnam war, Algerian independence movement and occupation of many territories outside Europe which historically are not French. So its really up to the UN to now act properly after more than its 75 years of existence to work properly and get rid of the VETO system which is the main virus which is causing its non working.

Breaking news: influential separatist rubik varbanyan captured at the Azerbaijan border check point and escorted to Baku

Kharabagh and Nakhichevan was separated from Armenia. The historical artifacts prove people of that land are Armenian... Azeri government will destroy them and try to rewrite history.... as they are known for

Matthew Bryza needs to do his home work before talking about this issues.

The rhetoric coming out of Azerbaijan is hollow. There has been no food delivered to the enclave since they started the blockade. They have been in control for over a week, and they still have not brought any food or medicine to the area. Following Turkey's example from 1915' Apparently the Armenian's are the only people on earth who do not require food to survive. Or Azerbaijan doesn't want them to survive in Karabakh. What is that American talking about?" There is no talk of that corridor being annexed by Azerbaijan" He is living in a fantasy if he thinks they won't use it as a pretext to seize a chunk of Armenia. He is on record as stating that Southern Armenia belongs to Azerbaijan Zanguzur as they call it. He even said that they will take it by force. If this is the level of US intelligence on the subject, Armenia would be better off allying itself with Iran. At least they have said they will not tolerate any changes to Armenian territory. Look at what happened to the other country in the region that was hoodwinked into thinking the US was it's friend, Georgia. If you have no natural resource the US classes as important, they will do nothing to help you if you are invaded.

Laurent Leylekian stop lying!!! if Armenia itself doesn’t recognise Garabakh as a dispute territory, how can USA recognise ??? I don’t understand this logic!

France 24. How come no Armenian representative during your descussion

Franch24 you should never do biased interviews with false narrative

Very sad fires at FUEL stations in the region. Preventable accidents.

Well said

This was always going to happen. The Armenians treated the Azeris really harshly so they are getting what they handed out.

bRiayza is just on azeris caviar

Dear Mr. Ambassador thank you so much for your fair and honest information.

The oldest churches , monasteries , in the world are the best witnesses of the ancient Armenian history! Armenian will is unbreakable despite all odds , they survived persisted and thrived like their churches which stand strong for Armenian history!!!!

As long as there are people who live in the past like Mr. Laurent Leylekian, sadly there will be no peace and prosperity for Armenians. Just like in Balkans, geopolitics of Caucasus are complex, history is open to interpretation. So what if Nakhchivan was populated by Armenians over 100 years ago? Or Zengezur was Azeri land? It's time to make the permanent peace, make steps towards economic progress which will benefit everyone, not only rich Turkish companies.

Sanctions to Azerbaijan

Not Stepanokert. That is the name of that Armenian butcher Armenian Bolshevik revolutionary leader Stepan Shahumian. Stepanakert (Armenian): or Khankendi (Azerbaijani). It is now Khankendi(once it was under Karabakh Khanate).

Do unto, as done unto !

American ambassador to Azerbaijan has been paid millions from Azerbaijan that’s a know fact. He is there to insist that Armenia has to open the Zangezur corridor that will completely destroy Armenia. Another atrocity is being committed here by asking the corridor. We will lose our sovereignty. That corridor unites all Turkic speaking nations together

For two thousand years Tribes, Empires, and Nations have been playing "Slice & Dice" with Armenia. Truly tragic.

To leave and never return to soils they tried to occupy. What goes around comes around.

We need foreign peacekeepers and journalists to give accurate information. Armenia didn’t occupy any country outside of original borders. Check the map see Armenia where it was located through the centuries.

You didn’t mention the role of Iran, s role. I hope Iran will not abandon Armenian people.

Please discuss the Turkish genocide

i don't understand why armenians are walking all comfortable when million of azeri were sent bare footed 30 years ago

Why would they give the corridor after they just wiped out Artsakh?

This is why we had an Iron Curtain

I am afraid Matthew comes across as another "moderator" in Aliyev's pocket.

Leylekian has no credibility. He should not be invited to debates.

Hmm -I live in Baku - and there is still an Armenian church here1

Excellent debate. The first of its kind from a french channel. Very well conducted by the anchor who put across pragmatic, relevant & prudent questions.

And Nakichevan for centuries was Armenian and now not one Armenian left.

We are talking about Armenians of course the next step is to talk more about how everybody is committing genocide against them, right?

The gas station was blown to deny fleeing refugees from gasoline to run ??? This is bad. Very bad. Armenia cannot absorb all this at once. Too much all at once.

Putin and Aliyev are one and the same

Its high time that all 3 countries make an union. A simple Amnesty for all Karabaugh Fighters can stop their exodus. Armenia is doomed anyway as they have no real friends, Russia or Usa neither. Armenians living Azerbaijan can voice that how they are treated in Azerbaijan.

This panel is about 3 Azerbaijani perspectives vs 1 Armenian, and one unbelievably gullible "neutral" moderator. Most interesting, Mathew Bryza, former US ambassador to Baku, married to a Turkish-Azerbaijani, is the strongest proponent of Azerbaijani dictatorship. I wonder how France24 even considered inviting him. He is a known anti-Armenian figure. The political system in Azerbaijan is authoritarian, as elections are not free and fair, political opponents are repressed, civil rights are limited, human rights abuses are widespread, corruption is rampant, and power is concentrated in the hands of President Ilham Aliyev and his extended family. Azerbaijan is ranked 'Not Free' by Freedom House in its annual Freedom of the Press survey with a score of 79 out of 100.

Bryza has always pandered to the Turkish and Azeri government's.

No matter how Pashinyan criticizes Russia there is the undeniable fact that Armenia only country all over the previous USSR countries which have Russian army units in their territory.

why should armenians trust azerbaijan when azerbaijan oppresses religious groups in its own country . And when Azerbaijan has destroyed More or less Armenian monuments / Christian monuments

Ethnic cleansing!? how mean!!! Why people can’t live in peace ? For heaven sake!!!

Really liked the show. Great selection of guests from all sides! Fantastic. Well done!

France don't let peace in Caucas we accepted all Armenians who want to live hier.but franse insiistit against it. I HOPE FRANCE ACCEPT THIS PEOPLE TO MARSEL. MARSEL IS ARMENIA.

My heart breaks for Armenians for leaving their homeland. Prayers from Germany

Malaysia noted..✌️😊✌️🇲🇾

For your info as of today 30,000 have already crossed into Armenia, they will be all gone in another 2 days. It’s all done and dusted. Even the Russians will depart cause they have nothing to do with the peace they are there for. Border will be closed for good barrier will be deployed until further orders. Than god peace will prevail. France will be sad cause they created the problem by cutting Azharbaijan and created Armenia so they fight with each other forever.

All Armenian Promises have been made Null and Void by the latest Aggression from Azerbaijan!!!!!

You have to understand that, it is not easy for Azerbaijanis also to reintegrate that easily after all these wars, sacrificing 1000s of people.

😢😢😢 those who suffered burns. Very sad. I wish more efforts were put in place to make sure such fires do NOT happen

Artsakh was sold just as Serbian historical regions in Croatia (Krajina and eastern Slavonia) were sold in 1995.

Բոլոր հայերը կարող են գալ և մնալ Սերբիայում: Սերբիան հայերի եղբայրական պետությունն է և ամեն ինչ կանի նրանց համախմբելու և տանիք ապահովելու համար։ All Armenians are welcome to come and stay in Serbia. Serbia is a brotherly state of Armenians and will do everything to bring them together and provide a roof over their heads. 🇦🇲🇷🇸🇦🇲🇷🇸🇦🇲🇷🇸

What a luck ,what a luck ,we are so unlucky that there is no one wants to help us ,what a luck .pfffffffffffft

❤🇦🇲

Ambassador is real taling the truth AZARBEYJAN never violated any Treety

😢😢😢😢😢

What ethnic cleansing? Those people are leaving out of their own free will and not with a gun pointed at their heads. They've been given choice, but most already said they would never accept rule of Baku & Azerbaijani citizenship..Ok, so bye-bye then.. From videos i saw was far-far worse for Azery civilians that had to flee NK in the 90' war.

Next: Syunik😢

Who paid you, Tornike? How much?

Apply and join NATO 😊

Next time you call Matthew Brisa make sure to balance him with an outrageously one sided opposite expert or peace negotiator as he calls himself, do you even follow the minimum standards of decent journalism? Shame

🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿

It is not stepanakert, the name is Kharabag, meaning black mountain or big mountain in turkish. Armenian civilian population may apply for Azeri passport and become a citizens with full rights, but they refuse to do so. Local terrorist armenian militia shall be arrested and prosecuted for their terrorist activities. May Lord bless both nations with prosperity and peace moving forward!

Wow Matthew Bryza must’ve gotten a piece of that sweet Azeri oil money. What an Aliyev tool.

France lost its role and face in the world because the mighty German Wehrmacht conquered France in less than 6 weeks and if it had not been for the whole world ganging up on Germany, then France would still be a GERMAN COLONY. By the way, Napoleon wasn't even French; he had seized control of France simply because France was so weak. France was never a GREAT power unlike the Germans or the British or like China now, the French have always been wannabes. Here in India, we salute the once mighty and still GREAT German (including Austrian German) people and we salute China for having worked hard and become the mightiest power that this world has ever seen. May God bless Germany (including Austria), India (including Nepal), and China (including Taiwan).
