Obi, I think you might need more than a week of thought.

But it just seems crazy.

Armenia is about the size of Belgium, not big, not all powerful.
Do you think they do not sleep at night for the fear that France, England or Germany might invade??? Errrrm, no, Your greatest asset is Mount ararat, it could generate so much for you. But the national paranoia keeps you gate closed, your minds closed.

Well was India BRITISH originally??

Edit: Your comment is a bit contradictory wouldn't you say?

All I am saying is that Karabagh should not belong to Armenia because of Historic reasons. a country grows, a country shrinks. If you want the lands, you have to fight them.

You do know that mount Ararat is in Turkey's soil right? I believe it was given to Turkey over a couple of treaties.

Ararat is part of Turkey. More proof that you need more than a week of thought...

But the point still stands, Karabakh is historically part of Armenia not Azerbaijan. And if I'm not mistakin, that is what we were discussing.

...Dashnaks are fools, if we would have surrendered to the communists instead of wait until this defeat Armenia could have been larger than it is.

1918, Armenia should have surrendered to the Soviets, this would have brought more people to Armenia and incase of a Turkish attack it would be backed by Russia.

See, Armenian politicians dont think, they dont know whos xxxx to suck and when to suck it.

That does not mean it CANT be Azeri.

I asked my girl this, she said it was on Armenian soil. Sorry, misleading facts.

^^By "my girl" I think he means his girlfriend. And obi, you can't compare Belguim to Armenia. Belgium basically has super powers as neighbours. Armenia has to do things the gutta way. Trade with neighbouring countries is hard since one has a border blocked and the other one is at war. Iran and Georgia are the only reliable trading partners. Thats why karabagh is an improtant asset to the Armenian economy cause weellll...in order for Armenia to have trading partners it would have to have something to actually trade and karabagh could be real good to Armenia...If Armenia gives that up then a huge part of the economy or atleast the agricultural aspect will be gone.

Mad:Is there oil in Karabagh??? I understand the fighting now... I figured Mount Ararat was in Armenia, they worth more than oil....!
