    Greeks gave meaning to the ultimate oath: "freedom or death."

    I wonder what that corresponding phrase is in Armenian.

    It would apply.
    Mah kam Azatutyun!

    if you ask me the question, what then?
    I am afraid I don't have the answer to this multi million dollar question.

    I guess brainstorming the issues may lead to some alternative thoughts

    thank you for prompting me to respond

    all the best
    Geography has dictated many things. If Armenia had an outlet on the Black Sea coast, then its foreign policy would have been different. Armenia is pro Russian because there are many businessmen and politicians with strong links to Russia (same in Azerbaijan). It is pro Russian because many people speak Russian, watch Russian TV and listen to Russian music (same in Azerbaijan). It is pro Russian because of the politics of the Caucasus. We know that NATO's sympathies are with Turkey (obviously) and Azerbaijan

    And I agree with others that Turkey is much closer to Russia than it has ever been. What is interesting is that well before many 'western' countries started investing, Turkish businessmen went into the far corners of Russia striking business deals and attending Russian language courses

    I think we all know what sort of independence we are talking about Eddo

    Hi again Joseph,
    I agree with that as I mentioned earlier

    on the other hand I don't have a quick solution to the problem of being tied to another country

    I could go on.

    There is no shame in this world for having alliances and "arrangements."

    What matters is how you run your own country for the benefit of your people and not for your clique.

    ^^^^Not to mention Russia controls over 60% of Turkey's energy input, with Iran providing something close to 25%......I call that the Russian/Iranian leash on Turkey.
