Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
It seems to me this escalation is correlated and perhaps the direct result of failing domestic situation for both countries. The leaders of both countries feel that the xxxx is gona hit the fan soon so they are escalating the violence. Perhaps the elite of both countries feel that a war is needed for them to secure their slipping power.Hayastan or Bust.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Destroyed by Asker Allahverdiev served in Special Forces "Blue Berets"
According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, today, February 1, 2015, in the village of Boyuk ad-Dahna Desert Sheki region of Azerbaijan held a funeral asker Eshgina Rahim oglu Allahverdiyev, on the eve of destruction of Armenian soldiers.
The report states that the funeral was attended by the head of Sheki region Elkhan Usubov, the participants of Azerbaijan's military aggression against the Republic of Artsakh and the representatives of the Ministry of Defence.
It is noted that Allahverdiyev was buried at the local mall martyrs in compliance with all military honors.
This message might have gone unnoticed if it had not been provided with interesting photographs, expose the lies of the Azerbaijani propaganda.
Thus, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported death asker E. Allahverdieva phrase designed to refute the statement of the Armenian side of the Azerbaijani subversive outing askers. "During one of ceasefire violation by Armenians enemy bullet ricocheted, hit in our soldiers, who at that time was in a strong point," - said in a statement the press center of the Ministry of Defence.
Meanwhile, as seen in the photographs submitted, E. Allahverdieva bury colleagues in blue berets. This - askers elite special battalion of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan "Blue Berets", which served killed Armenian border Eshgin.
Special Forces in the trenches is not sitting, and if it appeared on the border, only to perform a specific task, such as sabotage in enemy territory. With this purpose, and was sent to the border with the Republic of Artsakh special battalion of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry. And they are constantly defeated by Armenian soldiers in active service.
Reference
Special battalion of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan "Blue Berets" was formed in 2001. To prepare the units were involved in military instructors from Turkey and the United States.
The battalion is considered the most qualified units of the armed forces of Azerbaijan. Place of dislocation - a seaside village near the town of Jasper Sumgait. However, Jasper held only basic training commandos. Further training of Azerbaijani "blue berets", according to the analytical center "Voskanapat" held in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. Instructor - the Turks, the system of education - Turkish. Insignia - blue beret.
Number askers battalion of commandos "Blue Berets" had long since reached the regiment. "Blue Berets" is the first unit of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, fully switched to the standards and to adopt NATO.
Since August of this year, the Azerbaijani special forces "Blue Berets" had suffered no less than 30 deadweight losses, most of which was destroyed during the failed sabotage against Azerbaijan Artsakh Republic.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
do these pathetic azers ever stop? they have started a petition to "recognize" serzh as a war criminal
Unfortunately, Serzh Sargsyan,current President of Armenia,still remains unpunished by international organizations for his policy of attacking Azerbaijan for several times. Serzh Sargsyan commanded groups that organized Khojaly Massacre, in which hundreds of people were killed by Armenians. A massacre which saw the town of Khojaly strewn with rubbles, was committed by the Armenian armed forces, on 25-26 February 1992. As a result, hundreds of Azerbaijanis were killed or captured. His nonsensical statement “We wanted to give a lesson to Azerbaijan “ is not forgotten ! Khojaly Massac...

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Originally posted by Haykakan View PostI enjoyed this show and I think it is great that Armenia has such shows which openly discuss everything to discuss. I agree that many of the people in power do not know what they are doing and that they are all interested in simply sticking to power vs anything else. I also liked how they said that blaming Russia for our problems is wrong because it is we who are creating our problems (civil issues). I do want to point out that no matter who runs Armenia they will be faced with daunting challenges which may or may not be overcomed. Having intelligent and national interest minded leaders is the key here. As one of the guys kept saying we have some people who are indeed intelligent, educated, and care about national interest in government but he also said we have far too many morons who are driven by self interest. Self interest dominates national interest in many places, not just in Armenia. USA has a huge problem with special interest outspending national interest a 100 to 1 or more as do many other nations thus corruption is neither new nore unique to Armenia. What is unique to Armenia is the shallow nature of its corrupt elite. People in USA do not rebel even when they are robbed like during this recession because even during these tough times the elite kept the masses fat and stupid. Fat and stupid people do not rebel. Don't take my word for it go look it up yourself and see that Americans are indeed the fattest and among the stupidest people on earth. I have been to Armenia many times and quite recently and Armenians here are neither fat nor stupid although like our friend Vrej there were some who only get their info from one bad source like Lragir or some other source of misinformation. This is also not unique to Armenia because in countries like USA the media floods your senses with misinformation. There are two main problems in Armenia. Problem one is its neighborhood and this has been problem number 1 for ever. Problem number two is the lack of sophistication among Armenias ruling class. Corruption in Armenia is no different then in most other places, it can be argued that it is in fact less then most other countries. The difference for Armenia is that the elite has not learned to be corrupt without antagonizing the masses. The elite face two problems when it comes to placating the masses. Problem number one it cannot keep them fat. Unlike much richer countries like USA it does not have the means to do this. Problem number two it lacks sophistication. The elite in the USA can rob its citizens and kill and rob all around the world yet its citizens do not see it as robbery nor murder as a matter of fact multitudes of idiots are ready to declare their pride In their government. In Armenia everyone knows their leaders are crooks but not only that but as you can see even in this flick people are attributing even things that are not the governments fault to the government. The only steps I have seen the government take to address these issues is the formation of a stronger police task force whose job is undoubtably to secure the elite. What we are observing here is undeniably the result of decades continuous brain drain from our homeland. We simply do not have enough sophisticated people to govern effectively. Unfortunately this situation is not going to change even if we have a revolution simply because that will further aggravate the braindrain. We need creative people who can look at Armenias problems differently and in doing so will find solutions that the present rulers would never dream of. The issue is why would such people go and work in Armenia for its corrupt government? The answer is not many would but even then some may do it out of sheer patriotism. A good example was the soccer coach from Peru who is very talented and respected and he was willing to come coach our NT despite being offered more money elsewhere. The issue is that even in such cases the unsophisticated nature of our elite will not let anything good happen. The offer Rubo made to an elderly man was simply an impossible task which Sergio rightfully refused. Even when something great lands in the lap of these elites they can not help but screw it up. I think we are on a verge at this point of possible regime change. The only question is will it come from within the country or from outside forces. It could very well be both. This raises another big question. Who will replace the present rulers? That is another big topic.
However, the reason the people are fat is not because they get more to eat, but rather it is because of what they are eating. Corporate is playing to the subconscious foibles of man. By offering high fat & sugar content with reduced nutritional value. The human will subconsciously recognize and seek high fat & high sugar content. Although I can't pull up any reference material off the top of my head, I've seen several studies that verify this.
I agree of the almost comical lack of "sophistication" the Armenian elite use when robbing the society.
However, I find that benificial as the general population is not fooled as to what the greed ridden are doing, which is unlike the USA where they rip you without the general population realizing they are being screwed.
Better to perceive your enemies than not.
Insofar as to the open debate on all topics (no holds barred), this I find the most hope in.
Unlike the USA where one has to seek out obscure alternative news outlets to find out the real shenanigans of the ruling bigots, Hayastan gets the whole debate in their commonplace info dissemination .
One cannot make an informed decision if one is not informed.
