Wasabi, I know I took your Russian annex post a bit too literally, so maybe that made me come across as a noob to these subjects. This isn't actually the case.
EDIT: I feel like I do ask you for links a lot though, so, thanks I guess.
I gave the link because you seemed dismissive after I mentioned that the territory isn't historically Azeri.
The British gifted it to them in 1920, which is just horrible timing. Practically a reverse Israel.
They day they began the offencive Azerbejian relased this video: All I can say is WTF? It looks like an evil regime from a bad movie.
The Prime Minister made a statement pretty nice read, explains a lot but also leaves a lot of point untouched: Mostly why is the Armenian army in such bad shape?

Armenians elected a really bright guy to lead them. Too bad they are a poor country, landlocked, and denied of oil. It’s ridiculous to see their Azeri neighbor’s ruler, oil rich, with a capital on the coast of caspian, eating beluga for nothing, and beheading people who hurts his feelings.

Is this publication a trusted source? They make it sound like Armenia was the aggressor in this situation and totally in the wrong.
4 UN mandates to leave Nagorno-Karabakh and they pulled a Israel and loaded the place with refugees.
I appreciate I may more in common with them possibly culturally or maybe values wise also I hear that the country was the victim of some atrocities in the past.
Still right is right and wrong is wrong.
In 2018, Armenia underwent a peaceful revolution, sweeping long-time ruler Serzh Sargsyan from power. Protest leader Nikol Pashinyan became the prime minister after free elections that year.
Mr Pashinyan agreed with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev to de-escalate tensions and set up the first military hotline between the two countries.
But in August 2019 Mr Pashinyan told crowds of ethnic Armenians assembled in the main city in Karabakh, Stepanakert, that "Artsakh is Armenia, full stop." Artsakh is the Armenian name for Karabakh. The remarks angered Azerbaijan and were repeatedly condemned by President Aliyev.
Fighting broke out in July this year on the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, some 300km (185 miles) away from Nagorno-Karabakh. By the end of the month Turkey's military was taking part in large-scale joint exercises in Azerbaijan.
The latest conflict broke out on 27 September. Armenia said Azerbaijan fired the first shots. Azerbaijan said it was launching a "counter-offensive" in response to Armenian aggression.
Eh I did some research on the magazine https://nationalinterest.org/about-the-national-interest I've seen it laying around before in offices and peoples houses. Judging by the headlines it appears to be have a bias, and maybe be more classical conservative leaning.
Anyways I'll try to walk you through it slower.
Yes Armenia was the victim of genocide, (I wasn't there but it sounds like the reality) the international community felt bad about it so it helped support them. When it came to this though they stopped and warned them against it.
The land went from a buffer zone, to a settlement (planned to be used for peace talks) to it's our land and finally starting a war over it.
Armenia totally misjudged what is going on in the world today and paid a price for it. It could have been worse. scanning headlines and it appears 1,300 dead over the skirmish.
I appreciate Armenia is democratic and Christian. Ergodyn has appeared to set Turkey back a 1,000 years and Putin is the worlds biggest turd. This is a win for them and that's not good.
lol...
so much dramatic writing - they forgot adding how two-headed Azerbaijani and Turkish soldiers with 6 arms were dropping from the skies and devouring little Armenian babies alive...

why did your family leave Turkey?
so that we can get free wellfare money from the state and open kebab shops over here that we use for money laundry.
just tired about all the "Armenia/Kurds/Greeks holy and just, Turkey bad" attitude these days.
no word about the atrocities done by the Armenias in the 90s
not angry..

no word about the atrocities done by the Armenias in the 90s, no word about how the PKK abducts and murders elementary school teachers etc etc.
did the Turkish government do a lot of shit on Syria and Co? yes - as all the other big and regional players.
is Erdogan a dickface? yes - still does not change my opinion when it comes to territorial integrity.
PS: my parents wanted to go to Canada first but German visa was granted before so they went here.
