They have to get out before the Azerbaijanis drive them out or kill them all. Azerbaijan society is fucking psycho, they want to exterminate the Armenians.
This guy was an Azerbaijani soldier on a training course in Budapest. He broke into the room of an Armenian guy on the course and hacked him to death with an axe. The Azerbaijanis got him home and made him and national hero.
After the last conflict in 2020 the Azerbaijanis built a “trophy park” in their capital. They filled it with helmets of dead Armenian soldiers and they had grotesque waxworks of dead Armenians. Sick stuff.
Some of the atrocities committed by Azerbaijanis in the last war were quite sick too. Mutilating bodies and then using dead soldiers phones to post pictures of the dead bodies to the dead soldiers’ social media, or calling the families of the dead to taunt them.
In so much as the Armenians are Christians (some of the oldest Christians in the world) and the Azeris are Muslim. But neither side would be particularly devout, esp after decades in the Soviet Union.
They just hate each other.
Armenians are Christians. Azeris are Muslims. Nearly homogeneously so on both sides.
Traditionally the Turks back the Azeris and the Russians the Armenians.
The Azeris have taken the opportunity to attack the Armenians while the Russians were busy elsewhere.
The Russians haven’t been that keen on backing the Armenians of late either as they were seen to be flirting with the West, while the Azeri main man is a dictator and has reasonably friendly relations with Moscow.
It would seem Putin is happy to turn a blind eye to this, or has no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.
It’s very complicated for anyone in the West to intervene as the Azeris are only taking back what was already within their internationally recognised borders.
It would seem to be a clear victory for Azerbaijan in this round
I lived nextdoor to a family from Azerbaijan. Sound skins all to be said, parents, grown up daughters and one of their husband/bf and baby. Had an awful habit of havimg arguments/discussions or hoovering in the middle of the night but they never complained during our weekly house parties. We had an agreement on parking spaces, they got the ones outside the house we got across the road. The auld lad was neighbourhood watch, looking over the cars all evening smoking fags at the door.
This is the official Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs take on the Armenian genocide, or the “allegation” of genocide as they refer to it.
Gas cunts, they’d fit in well posting on TFK.
