Not good compared to last year when it was about 35 v. 85 at the end of the year

Agreed. Off to a bad start this year. More precautions and vigilance is needed.

Ali Hasanov: Russia should know that the Armenians, who betrayed the USSR during the World War II, will one day betray Russia, too
[ 02 April 2014 12:57 ]

“Why are only Turkey and Azerbaijan fighting against Armenian chauvinism? What are other Turkic-speaking states doing?”

Baku. Ramiz Mikayiloglu - APA. “The period of mourning is already over, we should prepare our youth for fighting for the liberation of our lands,” Deputy Prime Minister, chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs Ali Hasanov said at the event on the 21st anniversary of the occupation of Kalbajar region, APA reports.


Ali Hasanov said the air, water of Kalbajar is pure, the people born in Kalbajar are pure and committed to statehood.
“There are 30 000 springs, 4000 plants in the region,” he said.


Speaking about the attitude of other states towards the occupation of Azerbaijani territories, Hasanov said:
“Russia should know that the Armenians, who betrayed the USSR and spied during the World War II, will one day betray Russia, too. The West knows it, too. Sometimes, they say a nation, state should not be spoken about in this manner. But one can say such words about Armenians. Armenian Diaspora, Armenian state is pursuing policy against Turkic-speaking states. Why are only Turkey and Azerbaijan fighting against Armenian chauvinism? What are other Turkic-speaking states doing? The leaders of these states pay visits to Armenia, even one of them laid a wreath at the so-called Armenian genocide monument 12 years ago.


On the other hand, narcotic plants are grown in the occupied territories, this is already the problem of the world. They are trying to teach us a lesson on democracy. If the West, our neighbors do not wake up, they will also face Armenian terrorism, separatism.”


Chairman of the State Committee said first of all the youth from the occupied regions should take interest in military.
“The youth from the occupied regions should be inclined to get military education. One day, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief may declare that the injustice of the world is going on and order the liberation of our occupied territories. Attitude towards army, soldier should be changed. Even if a citizen of Turkey lives abroad, he returns to motherland for military service. Why should not we follow the example of Turkey? Desertion is a shame for a country, whose lands have been occupied. First of all, parents are guilty. We are not avengers, but our youth should be ready to avenge,” he said.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

I've always wondered what the NKR-Iran border looks like and how militarized it is. But there is never any mention of it and almost no material on it online. So I went through Google Earth and here are the best 15 available photos of it taken within 100 feet or so of the Artsakh-Iran border, stretching across its length

it seems strange how demilitarized it seems to be, and how easily one can just walk into Artsakh

There is no reason for that border to be militarized......minimum normal security patrols will do. yes, you can go right across both ways, this is how ancient friends like Iran and Armenians (allies) act.

btw, thanks for the pics.

You're welcome. Its always interested me because of the thought of how much Armenian trade and exchange w/Iran would increase were we not limited to our tiny 35km meghri border w/Iran. It was still curious to me considering the number of Azeris that live in the iranian north. Not to mention the proximity to Azerbaijan itself. Given the nature of modern warfare though, it does make sense, when the only threat is spies and small covert operations, since a single drone can do the monitoring job of hundreds of soldiers. Specially considering the huge troop commitment Armenia has to to secure the azeri borders.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Yes, and Aliev is more than happy to let them go. As you said, most of these Azeri volunteers are Salafist Sunnis and consider Shia Azeris apostate. The current government are afraid of their movement. That being stated, I hope they return home soon.

Probably the most comprehensive article on Azeri jihadists on the Internet so far: http://jihadology.net/2014/01/28/gue...ters-in-syria/

very interesting information from both of you, thank you, specially the website, that was very comprehensive. Now I do indeed hope they do come back. It seems to me a solid part of them are indeed minorities living in the north; minorities who have very little loyalty to the government even without their religious differences.

the most entertaining part of the article was probably "she should look to the Prophet’s wives – the way they had lived their lives". nothing more inspiring than a dozen girls, some as young as six years old, given off to be a 55 year old pedophile's wh0res. Isn't that the future everyone wants for their nieces?
