Refugees and internally displaced people deserve media coverage wherever they are. Newsmakers, like Euronews, have the calling to bring the refugee problems to the forefront of political and decision-making minds. When this is done it's commendable, but when it's done showing partiality to one side such as Azerbaijan and totally ignoring the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh due to the same conflict started by Azerbaijan, it's deplorable.

The Congress of the United States allocates $8 million dollars to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and omits restrictions for activity in Karabakh.

The three South Caucasian countries Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan may well be on track for further developing their relations with the European Union.

In a time when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton goes to great length with French, Swiss and Russian mediators to bring about the reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia and when OSCE Minsk group reports positive movements on the front of Azerbaijan Armenia negotiations for Nagorno Karabakh, one influential Turkish member of the parliament calls on Azerbaijan to "fight," saying the lands were taken away by blood.

A number of media outlets report that the Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan to the United Nations organized a panel discussion on the “Situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan”.

Here is what is happening between Turkey and Azerbaijan in regard to Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijan in late 1990s started war against the civilian population of the Nagorno Karabakh Armenians, who voted to be independent from Azerbaijan due to cultural and human rights related oppression. Armenia supported the move and Turkey blockaded Turkish-Armenian border showing solidarity with Azerbaijan. The later holds Turkey hostage to relations with Armenia. Turkey says you can't do that.

Ahead of the upcoming meeting between the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the capital of Moldova Chisinau on October 8, one of the leading newspapers in Turkey publishes a story that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Armenians and the faster resolution of the issue is in Azerbaijan's interest.

Turkey has positioned itself in a very confusing situation with Armenia. On one hand it pre-signs protocols about normalization of relations with Armenia where there is no single word about linking the process to Armenia's relations to Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, on the other hand it tells Azerbaijan that unless the issue of Nagorno Karabakh is solved the Turkish Armenian border won't open. Armenian warning to Turkish statements of linking two processes did not delay.
