The EU’s talk of “rights and security” was bullshit, we haven’t heard or seen anything from the hypocrite Charles Michel, and the same from the US.</p>https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/281-arthur-martirosyan-artsakh-surrenders-armenia-granada-peace-treaty-karabakh-leaders-hostage/Mon, 02 Oct 2023 23:00:00 +0400https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/281-arthur-martirosyan-artsakh-surrenders-armenia-granada-peace-treaty-karabakh-leaders-hostage/<h2 id="episode-summary">Episode Summary</h2> <p>Artsakh Surrenders, Armenia Watches.
