  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 16 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 16 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 16 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 16 hours ago

    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 17 hours ago

“Some of our partners are increasingly making efforts to expose our security vulnerabilities, putting at risk not only our external, but also internal, security and stability, while violating all norms of etiquette and correctness in diplomatic and interstate relations, including obligations assumed under treaties.”

“Our people do not want to live as part of Azerbaijan. Ninety-nine point nine percent prefer to leave our historic lands. The fate of our poor people will go down in history as a disgrace and a shame for the Armenian people and for the whole civilised world. Those responsible for our fate will one day have to answer before God for their sins.”

“They are basically saying to us that we need to leave, not stay here, or accept that this is a part of Azerbaijan - this is basically a typical ethnical cleansing operation.”

“We are interested in starting negotiations and signing a peace agreement [with Azerbaijan]. We are not refusing and will not refuse to talk about this. If we speak about unveiling a new era of peaceful development, it would be illogical to say that we do not wish to hear about a peace agreement. We aren't rejecting discussions. What are all of these negotiations about? Among other things, about possible provisions of a peace agreement.”

“Yerevan is not ready for concessions on a transit route and I guess Baku lost patience. It was hoping to resolve the issue before the winter during a planned November meeting in Moscow which was postponed.”

“The blockade of the Goris-Kapan road or the so-called Azerbaijani border and customs checkpoints will cause violations of the rights of the civilian population and severe humanitarian issues, including the isolation of a number of civilian communities.”

“The current daily problem is that troops of opposite sides do not have communication with each other. The same is between Azerbaijani and Armenian Joint Staffs. When one side observes several big trucks with soldiers, he right away suspects possible preparations for an assault. There is no way to check before starting an attack.”

“In my recent speech in the United Nations, I stated that the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh is awaiting its solution, and I can say that we have hailed several times the statements by the OSCE's Minsk Group about the necessity to regulate the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and reestablish the peace process.”

“Armenia is ready for a constructive dialogue, which should lead to the establishment of sustainable and lasting peace in the region. We propose to complete the process of the return of prisoners of war, hostages, and other captives without delay. It is also necessary to resume the peace process for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.”

“In the early 1990s, one of the core obstacles to relations was the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and strong opposition from Azerbaijan to any rapprochement between Ankara and Yerevan. With the status quo now changed after Armenia's defeat, Azerbaijan does not object anymore.”

“The only thing we see on the ground is that Armenia has allowed Turkish Airlines to fly to Baku directly over Armenia. This is important as a gesture as Turkish airspace remains closed to Armenian flights. Now the burden is on Turkey. Pashinyan's [Nikol Pashinyan] statements, however unpopular they may be in Armenia, are positive. So now the expectation is on Turkey to make a move. It's in Turkey's interests to use normalisation with Armenia to gain a seat at the table with Russia for post-war regional configuration.”

“I call on the international community and my proposal is also directed at the leadership of Azerbaijan. Let's agree that the military units from both sides rapidly move away from the border and return to their permanent bases, and station international observers from Russia or other countries in the OSCE Minsk Group.”

“Yesterday an agreement was reached that today Azerbaijan's armed forces should leave Armenian territory. This agreement has been partially fulfilled; there are territories that the Azerbaijanis did indeed leave. But, since the agreement was not fulfilled completely, today I have approached the president of Russia...for military assistance.”

“I would like to note that in this context there is a very important issue that has not yet been settled. This is a question of prisoners of war, hostages and other detainees. As we have repeatedly discussed…all hostages, prisoners of war, and other detainees should be returned to their homeland, but, unfortunately, we still have detainees in Azerbaijan.”

“If someone says that the opening of these roads is beneficial only for Azerbaijan, do not believe it. If someone says that the opening of transportation is beneficial only for Armenia, do not believe it either. The opening of transportation, especially in this situation, is beneficial for both Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is in Azerbaijan's interest because it should get transportation with Naxcivan; it is in Armenia's interest because we need a reliable railway link with the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

“It would be unprecedented in the Republic of Armenia if the military were to seize power from Pashinyan. what happened next could depend on whether Moscow would back Pashinyan or stay out of the way and not get involved. Putin did not approve of Pashinyan because of his reformist, pro-democratic, almost liberal credentials. But since the war [with Azerbaijan], Pashinyan has certainly shown that he is more than willing to do everything he can to keep Russia happy. Armenia depends so much on Russia now.”

“Shushi had already fallen and Stepanakert was under direct threat. The assessment of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the president of Artsakh [Armenian name for Nagorno-Karabakh] was that Stepanakert was very weakly defended or was symbolically defended. And if Stepanakert fell, that would leave thousands of our soldiers encircled.”

“It is the resistance of Armenians that helps maintain the geopolitical balance in the region. Otherwise, the world would face yet another precedent, a fait accompli – extermination of some Armenians and expulsion of other Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and the establishment of Turkey’s dominance over most of the Southern Caucasus.”
