My first OSINT investigation

One of my day-to-day obligations is trying to find the truth in Azerbaijan vs. Armenia conflict. I think it’s one of the key conflicts at the time to start proper USSR disintegration. Yes, USSR. You heard it right. It was such a powerful murder machine, that only after 30 years after it felt, some remainings starting to appear. And we never know if we will see all of them. So many people were moved, murdered and displaced that it is difficult to say what is what. Crimea. All local population (tatars) were displaced and replaced by Russians. Then it was formally attached to Ukraine. So many blood. Everywhere. Then Crimea voted to be a separate entity, but USSR parliament decided to stay as an area of Ukraine. Then Nagornio-Karabakh. Area of Armenia a long time ago. Attached to Azerbaijan by British invaders, whose vote to leave Azerbaijan in 1991 was never respected. This all ended up in extreme suffering for 120’000 people in Stepanakert.

Lots of people from Azerbaijan side claims that all of the allegations are wrong, providing some evidence that people in Artsakh are enjoying their lives. This post is my first attempt to show to the whole world who is spreading lies.

Ah, 1 moment. I really think that the argument “this photo proofs” in XXI century is not an argument. “We can see food on a tables” - sure, you are looking at photos of agricultural area, they are baking their own bread and having meat. Which doesn’t mean that they are living normal lives. Show to me that the death rate remained the same in hospitals with a lack of medications. Show to me that an average-people going’s out remained the same. And not one exceptional photo of a happy woman drinking water from a fancy glass.

Anyway. Let’s show that even those “proofs” are fabricated.

This is one of the voices about #ArmenianLies:

Let’s take a look at the boy near the pool, photo #3. His profile says that this is a Şabalıd Restoranı . We can clearly see 4 swimming lanes on a photo and a pool with a clearly rectangular shape (ok, we are not sure about the near-right edge, and I will cover it later). So I found this pool on Google maps and pointed the only possible filming direction which can give clear rectangular FAR side.

What should be on a back then? Something like this:

But not this:

So, not even reminding for how long you have to scroll to find this photo along others you managed to find a fake one.
