Brothers and sisters!
This isn’t the time for silly humanitarian aid to Gharabagh. We democratically elected our great and glorious leader Nikol Pashinyan not once but twice for one purpose – to free Armenia from those oppressive and utterly undemocratic Russians. Anyone watching BBC and CNN to see what’s going on in the world? Russia wants to takeover the whole world and stop all people from being westernized and happy. Putler (i.e. Putin+Hitler=Putler) must be stopped – now! Armenia and Artsakh must be liberated from Russia – now! This is the most important thing in the universe – now! Our freedom loving and democratically elected leader Pashinyan started the process in 2018 with all our help, but the poor man is not done yet. So please stop these silly humanitarian gestures and stop the silly protests and just let our duly elected, freedom loving and enlightened Pashinyan finish his sacred work of freeing Armenia of Gharabagh’s burden and fighting the Russian Bear along with our lovely brothers and sisters in Slava Ukraine! This is simply not the time. Let our wonderful prime minister do his work. There will be plenty of time to protest Armenia’s disappearance from the world and feed Armenian refugees around the world afterwards.
Lol “Greg,” or rather Azerbot.
No one shares your stupid opinion.
Now that Aliyev achieved his aim of making Artsakh wholly dependent on Azerbaijan, he now sadistically uses food and medicine as a weapon against Artsakhis to squeeze them even further. We know Azerbaijan’s endgame is ethnic cleansing. When will the leaders of Armenia and Artsakh realize, that giving concessions to Azerbaijan, just smooths the way for Azerbaijan’s ultimate goal? Aliyev and other Azerbaijani politicians and bureaucrats don’t even make any pretense about upholding “minority rights” for Armenians and constantly repeat that Armenians will leave Artsakh. If that doesn’t ring any alarm bells, then when?
Yes it’s obvious that it’s a lost cause hopefully Armenians will move on from that lousy ally Russia as a result of all of this it hasn’t served them like the USA does Israel and the Kosovo Albanian cause hence doesn’t deserve reverence as though it does. It’s very sad let it be a lesson about misplaced perceptions of oneself and of those one considers as allies and develops and procures new weapons to safeguard what’s left of Armenia
Says Charlie the Brit who wants to convince us Armenians that we should hand over what’s left of Armenia to Turks because his government in London dreams of pushing Russians and Iranians out of the south Caucasus. Keep dreaming London.
Armenia is a tiny, landlocked, impoverished and remote nation located in a Turkic and Muslim region of the world. Armenia is not a viable state in that it cannot survive on its own, especially in the south Caucasus. Armenia’s independence from Russia will therefore turn into Armenia’s dependency on genocidal Turkey by default. No Russia in Armenia = no Armenia on the world map. It’s really that simple. What’s also simple is the agenda of certain people on this message board.
Excuse me Gurgen – Russian agent? putting words in my mouth!
I do not want Armenia to be in the “care” of the Turks!
Armenia needs to see Russia for what it is and not to be in a situation where Armenia is so dependent on Russia who has constantly shown it’s willingness to trade Armenian lands for favours with the Turks. Such as the transfer of Kars to Turkey the confirmation of Arktash as part of Soviet Azerbaijan the concurrence with Azerbaijan to take control in 2020 as Russia knowing then it was likely to engage in its own activities in Ukraine and needed the goodwill of the strategically more important Turkey and Azerbaijan and was confident that Armenia had no where else to go so would just have to take and shut up, or so it thought until it failed it’s tripartite agreement obligations and it’s CTSO alliance obligation and has endured a number of reverses in Ukraine which has shown it up. It’s worth noting that the USA under Joe Biden isn’t enamoured with Turkey and doesn’t feel obligated to follow Israel over Azerbaijan quite unlike Donald Trump, Turkey maybe a NATO member but is regarded as too close to Russia and hasn’t beyond closing the Bosporus to non Turkish naval vessels hasn’t sanctioned Russia, Azerbaijan apparently uses its gas and oil pipeline to Georgia and Turkey to Also carry Russian supplies neither actions endear to the USA which itself doesn’t need Azeri gas and oil. I noticed that you haven’t refuted my statement about the USA and Kosovo and Israel as this shows what real support is not the supposed support you imagine from Russia, perhaps as this doesn’t involve Armenia it’s beyond your comprehension? Regardless of our debates Armenia seems to be choosing up in its recent actions and your call for some form of unification with Russia is becoming more out of touch with the reality. It’s quite simple an Armenia beholden to Russia will have no support from the west in the face of Turkish and Azeri aggression and will have to depend on how sentimental Russia feels. An Armenia less beholden will gain support from the west and pressure on Turkey and Azerbaijan better links with Georgia and to the back sea. Serbia in the 1990s reached out to Russia when facing NATO aggression but this did more to antagonise the USA than garner support from Russia and the contrast between the support they received from Russia when facing NATO aggression and the support Ukraine has received from NATO countries when facing Russian aggression hasn’t been lost on them.
Breaking! BBC news -Azerbaijan launches attack on Armenian controlled remnant of N-K as i been warning of!
Too little, too late. It’s too late to do anything now. Major geopolitical shifts have begun across the world. The process started many years ago. We may be one bad incident away from a world war. Knowing that a global crisis was approaching, what did we do as a people? Instead of making the neccessary land concessions and moving deeper into Russia’s protective umbrella, we did the opposite. We Armenians effectively maneuvered Armenia right out of political contention and straight into a dead end. Consequently, we are no longer in a position to control or to even influence events. Therefore, what will happen, will happen. Let things come to their logical conclusions. And whatever happens, remember that in the big picture it will be our collective fault. We collectively made Armenia and Artsakh vulnerable to Western and Turkish meddling. We collectively alienated Russia from Armenia. This is where the traditional Diaspora, to its eternal shame, play a significant role. The Diaspora has acted as a pack-animal for all sorts of Western and Turkish agendas inside Armenia during the past 30 years.
In any case, if any of you reading this has at any time spoken against Serj Sargsyan, Robert Kocharyan or Russia, you have contributed to what Armenia and Artsakh are going through today. You got what you wanted in 2018 – a Western financed “democratic” revolution. You then got what you deserved in 2020 – a historic defeat.
People deserve the governments they have. There are no free meals in politics. Political illiteracy has a high cost. Revolutions end up eating their children. You reap what you sow. Karma is a you know what…
Why are we discussing? Action must follow.
Let’s stop the suffering and the wars.
Best unite for us with Turkey. It would be an enrichment for both cultures. How it once was.
There is clearly an effort by Turks and Westerners to lure Armenians completely out of Russia’s orbit because they want to have their way with Armenia when its is totally alone. Don’t automatically assume people who post politically motivated comments on these boards (usually along the lines of Russia bad, Westerns good, Turks are potential friends, Russians are covert enemies, etc) are curious Turks or Westerners, or even “patriotic” Armenians who happened to stumble across this website. Many of these individuals are paid cyber-activists trying to mold minds, ultimately because they know Armenian minds are easy to mold…
