Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

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

My understanding is that decisions in the Eurasian Economic Union are taken unanimously.

Hopefully Armenia will not be intimidated and block Azerbaijan entering that union.

.

Honestly the EEU is hardly an actual organization. It's something to keep Russians and Putin feeling good about themselves, but in reality it has very little significance. It's a sinking ship, one which Armenia has very little in connection with outside of Russia. It's rules are hardly followed, as they are picked and chosen from, as it suits the members. I know the opponents to it made such a big deal about it, and how it was going to change things, but in reality it changed nothing. It's just an imaginary club to make Putin make himself feel better, just like the many that existed before it. It can't ever realistically function like a successful economic organization based on rules and regulations when rule of law is non existent in its members states, and the ruling elite in those places are so used to doing as they wish. Russian with its declining economy really can't force anyone to do much, at least not the Belarus and Kazakestan. Armenia joined it because of the gas, and the military assistance, the Armenian community there, and in general to keep Russia happy. However, the best thing it can do is stay as independent as possible, and I believe those in charge of Armenia are smart enough to know that. The idea of a common currency is a joke, considering the currency of the other members has collapsed and Armenia's is so stable. Armenia and Azerbaijan were in the CSTO together for five years, and this is gonna become less relevant than that, so why not.

Azeri taxi driver tells that their dead are numbering thousands. He says that people call each other or relatives and find out.
From one village 300 from another a couple hundred are "gone".

But to be fair, if we were going to go with what Taxi drivers say, according to Armenian taxi drivers Armenia is worse than Afghanistan

Very true. I had my fair share with taxi drivers. One guy wanted 5000 dram from Kentron to Avan near the Defense Ministry. I catch that ride everyday and its max 1400 dram. Secondly another told me to just give him 10000 dram so that he can celebrate his sons birthday. Watch out for him. He drives an ugly burgundy Opel and his name is Artyom. Always sits in front of Marriott.

There are plenty of Artyoms and I actually think I know who you're referring to

The way I want to do it? To get recognition? Bro what are you talking about? All I'm saying is if someone were to try to send something they should talk to a lawyer and not assume they know everything...

From USA its no problem and no laws that stops you from sending off the shelf items. The export/Import laws are subject to big corporations and businesses and its to stop secret items to be sold to foreign countries and off course TAX.

The recognition will be for your team with a name say (Free Artsakh)......a none profit organisation that sends equipments cleared by customs to Armenia. That it buddy.

How I see it sending items such as NVG'S to Armenia is a felony under US federal law.

I'm not flattered just thought you were implying I was in it for the attention. I just don't want someone to read your post and do something that in my opinion is a felony here in the US.

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

Quick question, does anyone know how many S-300 systems Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh posses overall? Also, I've heard occasional rumors that we have a s-400 systems, any truth to this?
