Feller further asserts that "Arye Gut has for quite a long time been at the service of the Azerbaijani propaganda machine, and is a member of the Azerbaijan-Israel International Association. Alexander Murinson takes as a reality his doctoral thesis that Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Israel are an entente alliance -- and develops the idea that the enemy of one of these states is the enemy of all three."

Russia’s official news agency, Novosti, echoed the Putin line on its website within days, talking of a sharp turn in the situation as the lead for its page on “The Situation in Donbas”, a shorthand term for the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. One of the reports it carried was that 650,000 people were without water as a result of the fighting. It also reported that Ukrainian forces had fired on a hospital. Russia continues to make the legal case for more radical intervention by it in Ukraine under the guise of a “humanitarian intervention”.

The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić expressed concern at recent developments on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the Line of Contact. “I would like to urge the sides to ensure a full ceasefire and cessation of hostilities as stipulated in the May 1994 agreement,” he said. “I deplore the upsurge in acts of violence resulting in loss of lives, and I call on the sides to demonstrate responsibility and avoid steps that would lead to further escalation.

Dogu Perincek, leader of the Turkish Workers’ Party, failed last week to repeat in Greece the denialist show he orchestrated in Switzerland 10 years ago. Along with members of his blasphemous Talat Pasha Committee, Perincek had planned to travel to Athens to challenge the recent Greek law banning denial of the Armenian Genocide.
