Buy N.K./Artsakh?

Re: Buy N.K./Artsakh?

You must remember, occupation never lasts. The only way to really take over something is to exterminate or convert the local population. I.e As the Turks did in Anatolia and the Europeans in the America's. England held many parts of the world and now holds nothing.

Yes at one time Armenia christianized the Georgians and the caucasian albanians, but little good that did. We should of Armenified them, but then we wouldn't be any different from the Turks would we?

Another issue with the Caucasian countries is that we are too evenly matched, even when one of us wins a fight it is only really a battle, the war doesnt end because no one exerts an unquestionable degree of power and authority.

What are we occupying What are you talking about, it's our god damn land, it's the land were David Bek comes from were Mexitar Sparapet has fought. so what are you talking about

I've got an other plan for Baku
It's called medz Khorovadz, so we take all of the meat they've got and the vegetables of course. And you now what we'll use as fire.

And we'll all come around the fire and feast and drink raxi all night

And how do you guys like my plan

What's wrong with you? At one moment you're advocating returning Artsakh to Azerbaijan...now you're talking about "Armenifying" Baku.

...at least try to be consistent.

better then the rest!

I would question why Armenia/Artsak would need to go all the way to Baku. Would it not be enough to go to the Kur river and north to the Georgian border? That would landlock the Azeri's and cut off the pipelines. this is just speculation on my part.

In order to create a larger buffer zone...plus there is oil there as a bonus.

Re: Buy N.K./Artsakh?

Crusader, I would defer to your expertise in this area. However, it would be more than challenging to hold that much land with the current population of Armenia. Especially having to navigate the true multi-ethnic nature of those lands. I think taking small chunks that can be liberated in the true sense of the word (such as in Artsak) is better for Armenian demographics. We don't need an influx of hostile peoples into our nation.

Actually, I was not advocating going to Baku...You just asked for a reason why it may be done (as improbable as the notion may be)
Also, if a larger buffer zone was created, it would have to be emptied of Azeris because there is no way Armenians and Azeris could co-exist on the same land. As you know, the reason for this is stems from the Azeri's propensity toward Genocide.

Anyway, I believe you are right...it would be better to concentrate efforts toward the black sea.
