My Turn
Turkish Generals led war on Artsakh. This was a Turkish, not Azeri, victory.
Exiled Turkish journalist Cevheri Guven recently disclosed in a video report the names and activities of three Turkish Generals who had a decisive role in leading Azerbaijan’s war on Artsakh, starting on Sept. 27 2020. It is already known that modern drones and missiles purchased by Azerbaijan from Israel, Turkey and Russia had a devastating effect on Armenia and Artsakh. It is also known that 200 Turkish military advisors and several thousand Syrian mercenaries participated in the war on behalf of Azerbaijan. However, this is the first time that a detailed report is made public about the presence of these Turkish Generals in Azerbaijan during the war.

Ah yes, the Turkish generals lead the war on Artsakh. Too bad the “Armenian” generals along with the “Armenian” ” government” did the same thing!!!!
Did Artsakh have a chance?
Forget Turks and Azeris for a minute. The so-called “Armenian” “government” is the entity that needs to be charged with war crimes! Oh wait “we need unity more than ever” – with Soviet Beggar Thieves who are now War Criminals?
No thanks, no unity and no support from me, until heads roll in Armenia first.
#1- These people you call “Soviet beggar thieves” won us the war in 1994, not the diaspora. Only Jirair Sefilian and Monte Melkonian were from the diaspora.
#2- You need to take it easy with that rhetoric. While I’m also annoyed with the Armenian government, hoping for chaos is the dumbest thing to do.
“These people you call “Soviet beggar thieves” won us the war in 1994”
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
In fact, quite the contrary. The Soviet Beggar Thief was the one that kept the diaspora out and proceeded to loot the country instead of working to keep liberated Artsakh, which was won by patriotic Armenians and NOT the ones who ever held power in Armenia for the past 30 years. The first Soviet Beggar Thief was actually working AGAINST the forces of Artsakh. The second and third from Artsakh played dumb as long as they could so they can proceed with the looting from their own perspective. The fourth and final Soviet Beggar Thief is the one in power today who merely completed the task of his mentor, the first parasite Soviet Beggar Thief of Armenia.
The entirety of the so-called “government” of Armenia is BUILT on the corrupt Soviet Bolshevik system of corruption and thievery. That is the reason these parasites kept any diaspora Armenians from participating in the building of the nation after 1990. And you also do not know who fought in Artsakh to liberate it in 1994, the majority were Artsakhtsis defending their homeland, and these people were NEVER part of ‘Armenia’ in the 20th century, and there were volunteers from both Armenia and the diaspora, and they certainly were not “a couple from the diaspora” like you are trying to suggest. Those you mentioned were the commanders, not the volunteers. And unfortunately, their bravery and sacrifice got wasted by the same parasites today as back then: The Soviet Beggar Thief!
It is very interesting to know, although it was obvious from the very beginning that Turkey was the main perpetrator in Armenia Azerbaijan war for Artsakh.
Armenian diaspora should be very united and do everything to help Armenia.
Turkey must be expelled from NATO.
Exactly. Armenia could defeat the Azeris. Instead they fought the Turks. What is worse is that Russia is clearly useless and didn’t help at all. They are now there pretending. If this doesn’t convince Russian boot licks in Armenia that Russia cant be trusted as an ally Im not sure what does. Also Pashinyan is no war leader. He is clueless and managed this disaster horribly. Even Macron was criticizing Pashinyans actions during the war. It seems hes a loser all the way around as most have no confidence.
A cheetah will behavior like a cheetah, a predator will prey. If we expected different behavior, then shame on us. Fair or unfair is immaterial as well as who gets the credit for defeating us. It seems to me that being a mix of Azeri and Turkish resources is no salve and no excuse for our shortcomings. The part of the equation we (Armenians collectively) control was a failure.
We placed too few troops with obsolete equipment and tactics in front of a predator who was vastly better prepared. More troops, appropriate weaponry, and effective tactics. A predator we knew was coming. We must assume that we will always have less troops, placing the emphasis on weaponry, tactics, and superior training.
If we find excuses for ourselves and expend our efforts pointing fingers to other Armenians then we cannot expect better in the future. Acknowledge Armenia was poorly positioned and set about the demanding work over years, maybe decades, to correct. Some Armenians exonerating themselves by blaming others is not helpful. Does not move us closer to achieving a better defensive capability.
I hope this 6-week war isn’t just a warning shot-a preliminary bout. They have already told us that they are coming for Yerevan. We must assume that the past battle is nothing more than a foreshadow of what is to come. We did not learn from 2016–a mistake we should not make again.
