Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I fully agree on the Migs, it's unacceptable that we have no fighter jets whatsoever disregarding a lone MIG 25 that will probably be never flown again. We have a strong army, but our air force is a disgrace. Relying on Russia to be the fighter jet component is bad, since we have no control over what they do. While I do agree that we need to stop being so close to Russia, we can't drastically cut ties either. We need Russia as a deterrent against possible Turkish agression, or Azerbaijani attacks on the main part of Armenia thanks to CSTO. Otherwise we'll have to devote a large part of our forces to the Turkish border like we did during the first war. Getting discounts on equipment is also very important for us, since we have a small military budget. However, we asolutely need to loosen Russian control in Armenia. While we should be trying to get out assets back, we are only giving them more.

...this proves beyond the shadow of any doubt that some of us simply are incapable of learning from history. Remember the French who swore to protect us and then watched us get slaughtered from the safety of their ships? They then used the bones of our dead to make exotic soaps. No I guess you don't remember but what many do see is all the pro western media outlets and the garbage they spew. Most people do not bother to think they just regurgitate whatever garbage is available. India and China do sound like good allies and should be welcomed in Armenia.
