Pretty much yeah but it's not as bad as it seems.

Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey

Where from else Armenia suppose to get resources? Sins 11 century Armenia does not have access to sea.

I know bro, thats why I am saying its so unfair, so far the only countries that provide support is Russia and Iran, if the (recently created) state of Azerbaijan actually decided to be nice, they could just let you guys have the oil pipeline too and have access to trade routes. Whats even worse is Turkey using the trade issues and border against you guys to try to make you give up Artsakh and to deny the Genocide. Its kinda evil

[Sako]

Yeah, well, we're used to evil.

I do not think that all is so vital for Armenia, we are perfectly able survive without azeri pipeline and with closed turkish border...

Has anyone done anything about this internationally with both Georgia and Azerbaijan?

Of course not.

It's being going on for years, decades. There are example photos somewhere on RAA.am showing what has happened to Armenian churches throughout Georgia.

Georgia lays claims to Armenian churches situated in Armenia


/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian Democratic Movement of Georgia decided to hold a rally in front of the Armenian on December 11 to demand ‘return’ of Georgian churches in Armenia.

“A dozen of Georgian monasteries are situated in the territory of Armenia, in Lore-Tashir. Unfortunately, they have been robbed, what proves that they belong to the Georgian Orthodox Church,” said Giorgi Andriadze, the head of the movement.

The Georgian Patriarchate did not deliberately raise the issue to avoid tensions and maintain the status quo. However, the Armenian side aggravates contradictions. So, we can nothing but demand return of our churches,” he said, Kavkaz press reports.

This seems a little pre-planned and not unlike the stand-off I had with my dentist, holding his ......, you hurt me, I'll squeeze here.
