  1. Want the US and Europe to pay attention to Azeri aggression?

    Armenians should use artillery and missiles to bombard the area around the BTC oil pipeline and BTE natural gas pipelines that run just north of Artsakh.

    These pipelines carry Azeri oil and gas o from Baku through Georgia and Turkey and down to the Mediterranean. 40% of Israel’s oil comes from the BTC.

    These pipelines are largely western-owned and Azerbaijan’s national survival depends on them.

    • lots of foreign investment in those pipelines. there is a time to destroy them but that would only drag other actors into this struggle against Armenia. We don’t need more enemy’s. Oil is collapsing on its own already and the noose is tightening around the depots Azeri leaders neck. Of course all border line violations should be retaliated 10x and their kids sent home in body bags. No question about that. Leave the pipelines for another day.

  2. Until a better option is found we should improve our reconnaissance and extend it further into enemy teritory using UAVs. Producing our own UAVs is an advantage as we can tailor make them to suit our changing requirements. Are they armed with rockets etc? Diaspora Armenians should help both technically and financially. WE should not sacrifice our fellow Armenians unnecessarily. Did we get those Eskandar rockets?

    • I agree. Armenia started making domestic UAV’s after the Azeri’s bought Israeli made ones that Armenians shot down. In my experience Israeli made products are usually junk. the technology they steal is way better. Armenia with its IT superiority needs to build super high tech military weapons. Someone suggested a fleet of one man flyer copter that isn’t expensive, Kevlar wrapped, with missiles for that terrain. Cheap to build and could be deadly. The ONLY superiority the Azeri’s had was longer range missiles and more air control. However with Russia installing an air defense system in Armenia all but neutralized that advantage. And the Azeri’s know it. The Azeri’s would need to fight the old fashion way and will lose again like last time..

  3. As I’ve stated in the past, Armenia must deliver a message / decree to Azerbaijan, which should as follows…”In as much one more Armenian is harmed by Azerbaijani coward behavior, in less than 5 minutes the South Caucuses oil pipe line will be no more”!Once that oil stops flowing, you’ll get results from those greedy oil companies applying real pressure on Azerbaijan to behave!

  4. The outcome of the recent flare up must yield additional territory for NKR. Expand further into enemy territory before someone calls an end to hostilities. The Azeries must be made to understand that NKR is Hye land.
