Armenia and the information war

Re: Armenia and the information war

Again, in every situation there is something positive and negative, it depends on how we play this game. If our diplomats are smart and make the utmost use of this, we can finally make the Iran-Armeia gas-pipeline working and even perhaps build a bigger one, so not to be as dependent on Georgia.

Ofcourse, the Iran has it's own problems as well, but still is and will remain a major player. Georgians are rats, they dare to do these things because we have our own problems with Azerbaijan, but they wouldn't dare to do something if the Karabakh question has been solved. In the future we will show Georgia we have not forgotten their anti-Armenian policy.

Long live Abkhazia, South-Ossetia, Adjaria and Javakh.

Re: Armenia and the information war

I don't know any. Are you asking me because you want to know or because you disagree with my suggestion?

I do not disagree to any action if its patriotic, practicable and as a result not becoming vulnerable for intangible or short term gain.

I would like to know one or two people who would make a difference.

The problem is we are dealing with a system, removing individuals will not change the mind of the system.
In fact the Israeli example is an example of failed policy.
After all those years and all those assassinations what is the tangible result?


I would say a policy of stay strong stay smart is a better policy.

I don't know, I was just throwing out a random comment.

Re: Armenia and the information war

My initial thoughts regarding the sale of pipeline are that again the Armenian Gov't is asleep at the wheel. I hope I'm wrong and maybe their reasons are as follows:

1. Armenia and Iran are growing closer in the energy sector. Armenia exports electricity to Iran and Iran send gas and oil. Perhaps Armenia is less reliant on the N.S. pipeline through Georgia. This has been a beneficial relationship to both sides and an expanding one at that (Hydroelectric plant, etc)

2. It is Russian oil that is sent via the current pipeline through Georgia and perhaps the Armenians have figured that in the long run, Russia and Georgia could be at war again (the war in 2008 have only highlighted the reason why you cannot rely on the Georgian route), the pipeline is open to sabotage, they can get fuel cheaper from Iran, and they will not have to deal with Georgia/Azeri/Turkish games, Russia price fluctuations, should they stop relying on that network.

3. Though Socar may indeed purchase the pipeline, it is the Russians who will have final say whether the can turn the spigot off or on.

August 11, 2010 | 14:22

A group of Belgian MPs will visit Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh this autumn to discuss the possibility of considering NKR’s independence by the Belgian Parliament, head of Federation of Armenian Organizations in Belgium Gevorg Minasyan told the reporters in Yerevan.

According to him, the Armenian community is actively working with the Belgian MPs on the issue. “In this context their visit to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh is very important. I do not know whether our initiative will be successful, but the process will definitely benefit from the visit of the Belgian parliamentarians,” Minasyan stated. He also stressed that the Armenian community has close ties with many Belgian MPs.

It seems that the Armenians in Europe are starting to flex their muscle and trying to become a unified force.

European Parliament to issue statement condemning destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Nakhchivan
August 11, 2010 | 14:38

This autumn the European Parliament is likely to issue a statement on the destruction of the Armenian cultural monuments in Nakhchivan.

A lot work has been done in this direction and the draft statement has been already submitted to the European Parliament, head of Federation of Armenian Organizations in Belgium Gevorg Minasyan told the reporters in Yerevan. “We have just to get Armenia’s support that is a little bit overdue. Nevertheless, I think the process has been launched, and the European Parliament will issue the statement by this autumn,” he stressed.

August 13, 2010 | 17:45
Azerbaijani flag waving on Cardiff Castle in Wales suddenly disappeared and was replaced by the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

“Cardiff Castle is situated in Wales. The flags of several states, including the Azerbaijani one are flying on the castle. Two days ago the Azerbaijani flag was taken down, for no obvious reason, and replaced by that of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic,” said a Cardiff citizen of Azerbaijani origin, APA reported.

Azerbaijan denies airspace to NATO aircraft

August 18, 2010 | 20:32
Azerbaijan did not allow a German plane flying from Afghanistan to Armenia to enter its airspace. The NATO passenger aircraft was carrying a group of Armenian peacemakers to Yerevan. The Armenian servicemen completed their service in Kunduz, Afghanistan, under German command.

A source at the RA Ministry of Defense informed NEWS.am that the aircraft was to land in Yerevan at 8:30 p.m. local time. However, the plane flew to Cologne, Germany, and the Armenian peacemakers will return to Armenia from there.

The RA Minister of Defense views it as an attempt to disrupt the supply to NATO forces in Afghanistan and block the use of Armenia’s airspace and airports for transportations to Afghanistan. At present the Armenian side is discussing necessary steps to prohibit the access to its airspace for planes carrying military cargoes to Azerbaijan.

Armenia has never prevented planes flying fro Turkey to Azerbaijan, as well as planes flying from Azerbaijan to Afghanistan, from using its airspace.
