  1. ” overly lenient” and “peace-loving” position on Nagorno Karabakh”.
    Why am I confused???
    Azerbaijan is neither peace loving nor lenient. It continues with its belligerent,bellicose threats and commits numerous transgressions on the LoC.
    Who are these people?

  2. GB,

    I urge you to respect the enemy. Once we look down on them, we forget the genocidal murders they intend to commit and the means they have and intend to acquire.

  3. Armenia is supposedly part of the “CSTO” – a third-rate ex-Soviet NATO wannabe organization which supposedly states that “an attack on one state constitutes an attack on all member states”. Yeah right. So Azerbaijan has been attacking villages in Armenia proper for quite a while now, not Artsakh, which amounts to an open declaration of war on Armenia. Aside from the incompetent Armenian “leaders”, where is “Mother Russia” – the so-called “ally” which should come in and bomb Azerbaijan?? Oh silly me that’s right, who the hell cares about Armenia, CSTO is meant to protect Mother Russia only, using all her dupe satellite states, including Armenia, like how they all saved Soviet Russia in WWII with nothing in return to show for except for the message of “that’s a good little boy, now Mother Russia will let you exist.” and note: Azerbaijan is of course exempt from any rules, while Armenia is used like a disposable rag. The incompetent traitor Soviet-Armenian leaders made sure of that for 100 years.

  4. Translation: don’t expect that a new regime will be any less crazy than the old regime when it comes to Armenia and Artsakh.
