Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations
Serbia will sooner-or-later attempt to reclaim Kosovo. And this is, in final analysis, all about Russia.
They have been doing to Serbia what they wished they could do to Armenia. And now, attacks against Serbia will continue in other forms. They will attempt to see that Serbia becomes a failed state. This will be difficult for Serbia because it now essentially landlocked and surrounded by unfriendly powers. Serbia should have fought NATO in full scale in 1999 instead of capitulating. Serbia should have elected a hardliner. So, Serbia is also to be blamed for this. Western interests can only do what you allow them to do.
Well, Russia has been "speaking up," quite loudly as a matter of fact. However, what's needed here is not speech but action. I am sure plans are being put into place. Moscow will most definitely take advantage of this situation by first consolidating its hold in the Caucasus. This will also have some positive impact on the Armenian situation in Nagorno Karabagh. In final analysis, sooner or later, there will be another war in the Balkans this time it will be even be bigger.
I notice that you only react to Serbian related issues, are you an Armenian?

My worry is that with Kosovo independent, the attack on Serbia will continue both with the Muslims in Raska and with the Hungarians in Vojvodina. Furthermore, Albanians are currently rampant and will lay claim to other areas of Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, and Greece.
At some point, Russia will need to speak up. It really feels like it's the 1870s all over again - with Orthodox Christian states being attacked on the one side by the Muslims and on the other by the German-Catholic alliance. Only Russia can do something, but will she?
