Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
What about advantages of Artsakh? Artsakh became independent in December 1991 and the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Armenia and Azerbaijan have both signed and ratified, was only drafted in September 1992. This means that, besides not being allowed to sign the treaty itself, Artsakh is not defined as a "successor state" (in the way that South Sudan is considered to have signed the CWC because South Sudan was a part of Sudan when Sudan signed the treaty).Originally posted by Vrej1915 View Post
This means, for example, that Artsakh, unlike Armenia or Azerbaijan, may be able to legally manufacture and deploy Novichok-5 (A-232). Novichok is supposed to be undetectable to make and use, and is made from chemicals not regulated under the CWC:
Another example: what if Artsakh gets some radioactive material like nuclear plant or hospital waste, grinds it into very fine dust, and loads it onto SCUD missiles. Is NK worth parts of Baku being made unsafe for 10 years? With a SCUD loaded with nuclear waste, even if it is intercepted by an S-300 then the warhead is just scattered over a large area rather than contaminating the area around the targeted government or military site.
This does not mean that other countries will not try to bring pressure on Artsakh for having such weapons (stopping aid and remittances), but even then if Artsakh could sign an international treaty in return for removing such weapons, that would make the case of Artsakh to be recognized as a nation stronger.
There are many such possible solutions to, "THE MILITARY ADVANTAGE OF AZERBAIJAN GROWS FURTHER." Something for all the turk spies who read these pages to pass on to their pasha.Comment

ARTSAKH NEWSLETTER
January 16-31, 2012
Artsakh Newsletter summarizes key developments in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh and is prepared by the NKR Office in the United States.
SECURITY & POLITICS
Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian presidents met in Russia’s Sochi to discuss Karabakh settlement. A joint declaration has been adopted to expedite “the process of reaching understanding with regard to the Basic Principles” and encourage confidence building.
NKR Foreign Ministry welcomed UK’s position on Scotland’s intention to hold a referendum on its future status. The Artsakh ministry reiterated that human rights and self-determination are a priority for democracies.
French Senate has approved a bill criminalizing the denial of genocides, including the Armenian genocide of 1915. Armenia and Artsakh thanked the French Senators for their position. A group of Senators have since appealed to the Constitutional Court to issue a judgment on the legislation’s validity.
California Assembly member Felipe Fuentes introduced a resolution to commemorate the Armenian massacres in Azerbaijan’s Sumgait, Kirovabad and Baku between 1988 and 1990. “We stand together today to acknowledge the atrocities of the past so that we do not repeat them in the future,” the assembly member said.
ECONOMY & BUSINESS
NKR government pledged that development of industrial infrastructure, along with agriculture and housing will remain priorities in 2012. Stepanakert is expected to have round-the-clock water supply by the end of 2012.
A first-ever Ostrich farm has been established in Artsakh, located in Gishi village, Martuni region.
SOCIETY
The Huffington Post has profiled Nagorno Karabakh a one of the great tourist destinations. “If you're staying with a local, don't be surprised if you're offered homemade mulberry vodka with breakfast. Drink up”, the article says.
HISTORICAL REFERENCE
The pogroms in Baku in January 1990 against its Armenian residents was a culmination of anti-Armenian violence in response to Artsakh’s peaceful campaign for reunification with Armenia. Since January 13, 1990, Azerbaijani nationalists launched methodical, house-by-house attacks on Armenians living in the Azerbaijani capital, weeklong attacks that came to be known as Baku pogroms. As a result, scores of Armenians were killed. Soviet authorities evacuated remnants of once 250,000-strong Armenian community of Baku.
Twenty years ago, on January 26, 1992, the residents of Karin Tak village of Shushi region heroically defended themselves from an attack by the Azeri army. This became one of the first serious victories of Artsakh self-defense forces and paved the way for further military successes. Twenty-two of the forty Karin Tak defenders have lost their lives in the battle against a much larger enemy force.
On the occasion President Bako Sahakian visited the village and presented medals and awards to the participants of the defense operation.
About the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, ArtsakhThe Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh, was established in 1991 basing on a declaration of the local legislature, and results of a subsequent nation-wide referendum. The people of Artsakh defended their choice in a war unleashed by Azerbaijan. The Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh has emerged as a democratic, rule-of-law state with capable armed forces, a growing market economy, and an independent foreign policy.
