Marc Lamont Hill is a breath of fresh air in the present world of journalism. Asking the right questions is what it is supposed to be all about. The viewer can draw their own conclusions.

Marc, you destroyed the guy! He was so helpless. Great journalism!

The journalist was doing a good job and asking the right questions, but you can ask an Azerbaijani all the right questions you want, but you will never get the right answers.

❤❤❤❤Marc, brilliant journalist, you owned this Azeri, caught all the lies . You need a Nobel prize

The Azerbaijani army committed war crimes. They decapitated civilians, elderly men and their soldiers were later given medals by their dictator president. Google Anush Apetyan.

Respect ✊🏻 to this journalist asking the right questions ❤

Ethnic cleansing no doubt..whole population left..if it is not ethnic cleansing ...then what

Good interview , exposed aliev regime genocidal practices

Great interview! That’s what we call the real journalism is. Asking pointed questions, not allowing to spin answers, keeping the conversation on the right track

Thank you JAZEERA...Thank you Mr JOURNALIST...you mastered your subject..next time, if you host an azeri guest, plz do ask about soumgayit...Good luck

One of the best journalist ever I heard

Lie after lie😂😂this ambassador is a brilliant liar!!!! WoW

The Ambassador was raving.

Respect to the journalist calling out this evil genocidal country of Azerbaijan

What happened to the 350 thousand Armenians who lived in Baku?? what happened to the Armenians in Naghchevan???

The azeri was sweating bullets cus aliyev had his gun pointed at the mans family

Thank you for the discussion, it is important! Thanks to Marc Lamont Hill for asking questions, that Azerbaijan authorities never meet in their unfree regime form press or what play the role of journalists in this society. Indeed it is an ethnic cleaning and even genocide - including the previous illegal blockage and staving people. UN Criminal Court's Prosecutor Ocampo stated this clearly. The Armenian request to IC UN about the chckpoints was not declined - it was stated, that there was no need for a new order, as the previous one (read aloud by Marc) fully stands. It is clear that Azerbaijan authorities deny what they did with Indegious Armenians. They won't tell that the next day they gained military control on te territory they started to destroy the Chrisian monastery and even renamed the main street of Stepanakert after the person, directly responsible for Amenian Genocide of 1915 (Enver Pasha). As long as petrocraties like aliev's dictatorships will buy UN comissions and get out of the crimes, th world will stay a place of unsecurity. What a shame.

Western countries never paid attention to genocide happened to Azerbaijanis who were killed and kicked out of Karabagh, from their own territory. As a result of this, we had 1 mln refugees. Now, when armenians left the territory voluntarily, it is called a genocide. Bravo!

Marc, you are AMAZING journalists !!!!

Mark you were amazing ❤️👍👏👏👏👏

Please ask this man this question: one of the main streets in Stepanakert was named after Armenian poet of the 19 century. First governance act of azer after capturing Stepanakert was renaming that street after enver pasha, one of the architects of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Will Armenians be able to live on this street?

Islam ☪️ belongs in Arabia not Europe.

Great interview. This is simply a continuation of the Armenian Genocide supported by Turkey.

I wish Pashinyan would learn from this journalist. Thank you Marc Lamont Hill, you are a great journalist, researcher and a human!👍🙏

If the journalist asks questions and does not listen to answers until the end, then I assume he only wants to hear what he wants to hear and he doesn't care about what the Azerbaijani side thinks. Biased!

Azerbaijan committed a Genocide against innocent Armenians .

Lamont Hill Great Host upfront 🙏✌️

Great job Marc! It feels good to listen excellent reporting

Marc, you can’t enter Azerbaijan😂 You are Persona non grata

MARK, you deserve a gold medal. What are legitimate questions you asked to this person.

Marc Lamont Hill, you are an absolute LEGEND. Thanks for putting a genocidal regime on the spot! ❤🙏🏻

The guest is constantly interrupted by Marc Lamont Hill. Meanwhile Mr Hill wants the opportunity to finish his question without being interrupted. Double standards

Many thanks to Marc, he is very professional journalist and he knows how put things clear! "The definition of genocide is not 'like in Rwanda', the definition is..."👏👏👏

300,000 Azeris actually experienced ethnic cleansing and want to return to Armenia

1992 when Armenians killed residents of Xocalı whipped all the Azerbaycaniz from Qarabax why no one said anything.We just wanted justice for people of Qarabax .

What these people don’t understand? What separatist leadership? Children of this Armenian population fought with Azeri army for the right to live on their ancestral land

The ambassador is lying. Azerbaijan government blocked the Lachin corridor and prevented food, medicine, and other crucial necessities from entering Nagorno Karabagh. This is clearly an act of genocide like the measures taken in Gaza by Israel the close ally of Azerbaijan.

Indeed it is a tragic ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the autocratic regime in Baku, with full support of Putin and military power of Turkey and Israel , All three supporting the Baku regime to perpetrate such atrocities , but admire the audacity of the Armenians of Artsakh , instantly choosing the higher moral grounds , disposing their ancestral lands , not submitting and bowing to the family lead autocratic regime at Baku and All , yes All , unless the ones unlawfully arrested by the regime in Baku, they all relocated to countries valuing human life and potential over hegemonic instincts .. The Armenians of Artsakh exemplified to the world how citizens MUST rise and decide their future rather than letting autocrats such as : Aliyev , Putin , Kim , Xi, Lukashno , decide theirs .. Huge human Thank you to the Armenians of Artsakh !!!

the same questions should be asked to their aliev the dictator,

Great interview! Let the world see the lies of a terrorist country that only exited for a bit over a century.

Exactly, to focus on "right now" is to return 1 million Azeris to their lands in Karabakh and Armenia.

The host is great! The questions are straightforward.

Azeris scared of the truth

Marc Lamont Hill is not qualified to engage in this conversation.

An amazing interview!

What a brilliant "interviewer". Literally interrupting the guest with every question, and not even allowing him to finish the direct answer. Peek journalism here.

Biased and one-sided question asking, not considering the ground context

Azeri laying and not shaming! reintegration with killing, no way!

That's way for interview excellent....❤❤❤❤❤

When will the Turks end their occupation of Cyprus and give Kurds independence

UNHCR had several missions and it is documented: there was no signs of violence, forceful deportation, mistreatment, etc. What are you smoking, Marc?

Hey, where were you back in 1990s when 1million Azerbaijan refugees fleed Karabagh?! you CAN"T reject this fact! armenia occupied 30 years our territories!

The guest is a lier lier.

Brother Marc is putting HEAT on this politician! This is what real-REAL!-journalism looks like. (Not sidding and coddling power but challenging it.)

Respect for this Journo

Subscribing to Al Jazeera because of Marc Lamont Hill. From Nagaland, India. The only real journalist in Main Stream Media.

The dramas begins.....Just like throwing stones but hiding the hand behind the back. Why is the presenter look so aggressive?😂😂

Mark does not let the opponent to respond, it's not an interview, but monolog and show off. Not surprising, he does that to all and uses statements from provoking sources instead of official and respectable ones. And, as always, does not want to listen what was in the background. Will stop watching him

Mark crushed the baku dictator's ambassador on spot. Spoke and questioned on facts and only facts. Great journalism, calling out the perpetrators of their atrocities.

ICC or ICJ only stand for a certain structural formula to use when big boys from Western countries sense or see their interest is not well captured in a certain Geography.

Nothing is impossible when few people in America created atomic bomb in New mexico called the Manhattan project and because of that the war in Japan stopped and everyone feared America the greatest country since then.Every Armenian in every country should unite and make an international organization for funding and asking Armenians anywhere with knowledge to Help Armenia and build our own atomic weapons if Armenia wants to survive because second time Armenians faced genocide and deportation from their historic land and no one helped and could be even the 3rd time can happen.

The reporter didnt let him finish any sentence. Lol aljazeera is a joke. Go report on qatar if you can 😂

Azerbaijan’s destruction of some of the world’s most ancient Christian Monasteries. Their museum of violence proudly displaying the Armenians they’ve killed. They literally tried to starve 120k people to death via blockaide before breaking the ceasefire agreement and attacking them. Good at lying with a straight face though.

Since when did Lamont Hill get hired by Aljazeera

Very disrespectful host!

What an unprofessional interviewer👎kept interrupting the guest throughout the interview

block the only lifeline for 9 month then say "hey come stay, we wont let you starve this time trust us" the word of a turk.

Very manipulative journalism. If you want to express your views, write an essay or article. If you invite a guest, let him speak. It’s so easy to shout someone down when you’re a host of the programme.

Every single word of what the ambassador said is absolute lie.

The interviewer is not a good listener tho. Journalist are not supposed to make this visible their side on a particular situation.

Where were you when over a million Azerbaijani people massacred, tortured and forced to flee their homes in Karabakh in 1990s. People suffered a lot in cold winter and many other difficulties. Azerbaijan showed mercy and government announced Armenian stay in Karabakh region of Azerbaijan but they leave by their own will. That’s difference between Azerbaijani people and Armenian. Search Khojaly genocide, search Azerbaijani refugees, they had to run with no dress, bare foot in cold winter to escape genocide. Separatism and occupation is over. Peace and prosperity will come to the Karabakh by it’s true owners. You’re welcome back to live under Azerbaijani laws as a good citizen.

That is an ordinary fascism. And everyone understands this, except the representative of the Aliev’s regime.

Ask the ambassador a question: “Why, after peaceful rallies about the annexation of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Okrug with their mother Armenia in 1988, did the Azeri begin to threaten, kill and expel Armenians from Azerbaijan? In what country in the world could such arbitrariness occur in relation to its own citizens?”

The world is only listening to the Armenian narrative. It's sad. The moderator wasn't even listening properly. Didn't he hear the ambassador say that the Armenians refused to have incoming trucks checked?

I noticed a lack of professionalism during the interview. There were interruptions that prevented the interviewee from fully answering the questions.

Obviously the ambassador is not in his place. Ambassador should not justify himself. He should have to fight back those stupid allegations of interviewer but not just making excuses. The interviewer questions is an insult to Azerbaijan.

1 million Azeris will return to Karabakh and Armenia - this is NOW

God (or his parents) gave Marc a lot of Integrity and spared for Osama

Was giving NK to Azerbaijan by Stalin legal?

Azerbaijan has a right to its land.

The genocide started by azeris 1988 All the world sao sumcaied baku, girovabad shahoumyan kedashen , the 650.000 fled and they ataked nagorno karapag wher the arminyans 95 percent 180.000 people and azerbeyjsn brought the terrorist afgans chschens athers! . And losth th war since they used long range artillery, missiles , against the armenians they have to push theme further!

To Armenian and Azeri gov. and people. You have inflicted enough pain and suffering onto each other . The time has come for peace and prosperity . For the love of God with compassion peace may return Insha Alla

No one has been displaced, Armenians left on their own out of fear knowing what they did in the 1990s. On the issue of blockade being discussed, ethnic Armenians had the option to nuy foodstuffs & other needs from Azerbajan instead of insisting on buying from Armenia. No country will accept a country to operate within another country the way Armenia wants to do in Karabakh

Marc Lamont hill is the true glad he found a home at Al Jazeera

Why bother letting civilians escape if everything you do on your sovereign land is labeled genocide😂

Being Azerbaijani means living on Persian land, reading Russian literature, having Armenian architecture, believing in Arab religion, celebrating Talishan holidays, buying Western technology, listening to Caucasus But in the end, claim that you own everything and that you hate all these peoples who gave you all this beauty. And here is his portrait

The journalist disrespects the ambssador by interrupting him often.

What an incredibly unprofessional host, seems more like an accusation session rather than a civil discussion with the individual they are interviewing; how ridiculous that Marc would ask the questions and then proceed to cut them of mid-sentence. Interesting how the questions are accusatory in nature towards the Azerbaijani ambassador only and nothing remotely middle ground - would’ve been a far more interesting and a more reasonable session if the Armenian ambassador was also invited and more grounded questions were asked concerning the general political climate of the issue.

As a result of the last ethnic cleansing policy implemented by Armenia in a planned manner in 1988-1992, 250,000 Azerbaijanis, who historically lived in its territory, were forcibly expelled from their homeland and took refuge in Azerbaijan. But for some reason no world group wants to talk about it. The Karabakh region of Azerbaijan was under the occupation of Armenians for 30 years. Hundreds thousands of people were displaced from their homes. Why no one wanted to talk about it. For 30 years, instead of solving the conflict, Europe and the World were just buying time for the Armenians. Now, when Azerbaijan returned its lands, everyone remembered the ethnic cleansing. Why don't you remember the ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijanis by Armenians 30 years ago? Why don't you remember the massacre of Azerbaijanis in Khojaly by Armenians. I will say - because it does not benefit you. We would also like to thank our ambassador, who gave the answer to this type of journalists decently and discreetly.

the interviewer is joke. not only he lied about aliyev saying dogs to armenians, he also said that the current situation meet the conditions of the genocide, which is BS.

Marc Lamont Hill does not follow the fundamental principle of impartiality as a journalist. When the ambassador talks about the expulsion of more than 1 million Azerbaijanis from their homes by the Armenian army 30 years ago and the massacre of many of them, he simply turns a deaf ear and says let's not talk about the past. This is contrary to the principles of fair journalism. I think the Armenian diaspora fed the journalist well.

Azerbaijan put a checkpoint on Lachin corridor, which is their right as any country would on their borders. Armenians in futility are trying to spread lies that this was blocked. Armenians wanted to transport weapons unchecked through Lachin corridor, but they failed. Azerbaijan opened an alternative route for them through Agdam, but Armenians refused

The man disguised as a journalist constantly kept asking tricky questions. He didn't even listen to the answers after. Because he didn't care about the answers.When the answers didn't suit him, he kept repeating the same question. He even didn't let the ambassador talk. He'd been doing his best to create a bad perception about the Azerbaijani state. Regardless the ambassador answered all questions quickly and clearly. I myself also wonder how much money the journalist could've received from the Armenian lobby living in the US and EU for setting traps to the ambassador in the so called "interview" ???!!

4:17 "I do wanna focus on right now" yeah yeah better run from very serious etnic cleansing fact in the late of 90s. 4:50 "let me finish the question" Are you kidding man. You barely let the ambassador to answer any question.

This journalist working for west, AJ you become like Fox News Azerbaijan has right to defend its country this man sent by France and USA Azerbaijan keep the good job love from Somalia

Thank you Marc Lamont Hill ! Why did they start thinking about opening the Agdam road after blocking the Lachin corridor? On July 26, Armenia sent 20 trucks humanitarian convoy carrying over 360 tons of emergency food and medication for Nagorno-Karabakh, but Azerbaijan refused to let the trucks through Lachin Corridor. 2 weeks later France sent 10 trucks for humanitarian aid to the corridor. Both Armenian and French convoys stayed stuck at the entrance of the Lachin corridor and never made to NK. When the exodus started in September 20, they went back to Gornidzor to deliver the foods to the refugees in Gornidzor. The proposal of Agdam Stepanakert road was suggested only on August 31, after letting the population of NK starve for 9 months.

This man is lying . There were no Azeris in Artzskh. 98% of the population were Armenians. Azeris lived in the neighbouring regions which were captured by Armenians in the 90s after azer started bombing Stepanakert from those regions

Excellent interview, the anchor is well informed and cares about his work & ppl. The conflict is deep seeded, with ethnic Armenians in the region for 2,000 years. There are medieval monasteries and churches dotted all over the region. AZBJ will eventually wipe out all traces of Armenian culture and replace them with “early Albanians” like they have in the past. (See their enclave Nakhchivan - they destroyed ancient Armenian crosses and burial grounds.) The ambassador looks like a reasonable person, wish he was their leader. Ilham Alieyev & his family are as cruel & evil as they get. He’s kept up to 100 young POWs from the 2020 war just to cruelty punish their families. His father was much more of a statesmen & gentlemen. He’s nothing like his father.

There were not severe food shortages. ICJ says "may have". - may have? Is "may have a conviction????

The Armenians have always defended themselves and the whole world knows this, but they have no honor, even I, being not an Armenian, am ashamed of your hypocrisy..
