One of latest protests showed 70-80k people, which doesnt include eldery and kids. You do the math.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)


As the near-total closure of the only road in and out of Nagorno-Karabakh enters its third week, the ongoing standoff has sparked fears that the precarious humanitarian situation is threatening to undermine the fragile Moscow-brokered peace agreement that ended the war over the breakaway region two years ago.
Thousands of Karabakh Armenians turned out as part of a series of rallies on December 27 against the ongoing blockade, with dozens setting up a picket line outside the gates of the Russian peacekeeping mission's headquarters at an unused airport near Stepanakert, the de facto capital of Karabakh.
The demonstrations on the road began on December 12, ostensibly over allegations the Karabakh Armenians were polluting the environment by illegally mining gold in the region, inside Azerbaijan's internationally-recognized borders but held by its ethnic Armenian majority since a war that followed the fall of the Soviet Union.

is this disinformation? cant find Armenians turn fire toward Russia >

Ahh yes the Azeris who are notorious for beheadings, rape and torture are a great and peaceful people. Not to mention Azerbaijan is the major dealer of Russian gas now and has signed multiple trade agreements with the Russians. >

Was that before or after the pogroms in Sumgait or are we just going to ignore the fact that being mad an ethnic group of people for not letting you massacre them is not cool? >

No evidence >

It seems to be that russia is too weak today even Armenia imposes their narratives. >

What do you mean by narrative? Are there not 120,000 people asking to be released from a blockade to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe? >

Not 120 000  though. That's the inflated number to make them sound plausible. In reality there are 25 to 30K people, half of which are the military personnel
