Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

My father left last night with others to fight. I know of many more people coming from all over. I already know there was 11 thousand of Kuban cossacks there from already fighting. This may even blow out in a entire conflict in the greater Caucasus.

Our prayers are with your father and his comrades.

May God protect him and bless those who volunteered or are fighting the evil forces. Our prayers should be for their safe return to their families. Please thank him on my behalf when you have a chance to talk to him.

That's right, I'm hearing nothing about Javakh Armenians, what are they doing? I guess they have no militia organizations and perhaps the Georgian army is making sure that no other parts of Georgia can have an uprising, i.e. the "state of emergency" thing, and the forced drafting of reserves also weakens the strength of what any other dissenting non-Georgian minority can do at this point.

They have a militia but they are waiting this one out and I expect they will make a move soon. The Armenians in Javakh are not part of the Georgian reserves as they neither speak Georgian and have never reported for duty. Their men served in the Russian forces and were equipped by Russia prior to the base being closed. Though relatively organized, they infrastructure in the region is almost non-existent and they would not be able to really go on an offensive due to the fact that there are hardly any paved roads leading to Tiflis though they would certainly be able to defend against a Georgian assault.

Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

I see, well I had no idea (especially about the fact that not everyone in Georgia speaks Georgian, I assumed that Georgian was successfully imposed on all the inhabitants in Georgia). And do you think the Georgians have stationed a part of their soldiers there to make sure they can repel the Armenians in Javakh in case they do make a move? Also, does the Javakh militia have any significant ties with the Cossack militias?

The Armenians of Javakh have never integrated into Georgia and speak only Armenian and Russian. They have several thousand trained and armed young men organized into a formidable militia formation but the fact that Georgian is/was a conduit for Armenian connections to the outside world, the Armenian government has been forced time and time again to dissuade the Javakhtis to remain calm. As far as I know they have no direct ties to the Cossacks. THey did have relations with the Adjarians fr a time but now Georgia is in control of Adjaria.

The Armenians are constantly harassed and abused by the Georgian authorities, are denied basic amenities and under-represented politically. The region is perhaps the poorest in Georgia. The Georgians do not have military there but do have brutal and corrupt Georgian police. The Georgians also control the the roads/checkpoints into Armenia. The BTC passes through the region and my hope is the Armenians destroy this sector. They absolutely should do this now.
