Aliyev views Pashinyan`s `Real Armenia` as no more that transit point  on road to `Western Azerbaijan`

Azerbaijan Threatens Armenia on Eve of Vance Visit Swiss Peace  Initiative for Nagorno Karabakh Targeted

On the eve of VP's trip to Armenia, Azerbaijan's mouthpiece Caliber  warned that Armenia will feel Baku's wrath if Pashinyan fails to  suppress the elected representatives of the Armenian Christians of  Nagorno Karabakh who were ethno-religiously cleansed from their  homeland in 2023.

"Indulging the ideas of a 'mythical Armenia' may ultimately push the  country to the margins of the real world", Caliber cautioned.

Azerbaijan's threat was prompted by Pashinyan's failure to prevent  the political leadership of Nagorno Karabakh from honoring the Swiss  parliamentarians Erich Vontobel and Stefan Muller-Altermatt, and  Christian Solidarity International (CSI) for promoting the Swiss  Peace Initiative for Nagorno Karabakh.

This initiative supports the Swiss Government's  parliamentary-mandated efforts to convene a peace forum between  Azerbaijan and the representatives of the ethnically cleansed  Armenian community of Nagorno Karabakh.

Such scarcely veiled threats show that Aliyev views the Republic of  Armenia itself, even when dressed up as the "Real Armenia", as  "mythical", and is prepared, if necessary, to force it into to the  "margins of the real world". 

What was done to ethno-religiously cleansed Nagorno Karabakh can also  be done to the "Real Armenia". 

Aliyev's words and deed leave the impression he views Pashinyan's  "Real Armenia" as no more that a transit point on the road to  "Western Azerbaijan".

The Swiss Peace Initiative was formally adopted by the Swiss  Parliament in early 2025. It mandates the Swiss Federal Council to  convene within one year an international peace forum aimed at  facilitating negotiations-under international supervision or with the  participation of globally significant actors-on the safe and  voluntary return of the historically Armenian population to  Nagorno-Karabakh.

To support the implementation of this mandate, an all-party  parliamentary committee of 19 Swiss parliamentarians was formed in  Bern on 26 May 2025. This committee is mandated to promote the  necessary international mechanisms to implement the objectives of the  legally binding decision of the Swiss Parliament. The UK statement  adds to a growing chorus of international voices calling for lasting  and inclusive solutions to the long-standing crisis in  Nagorno-Karabakh.
