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

I think there are always a few people that do something but they are so few that people don't notice them or the government makes sure they don't get noticed.

Saakashvili promises to address Norashen problem

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili assured Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan that he will address the problem of Norashen Armenian Church in Tbilisi.

“This is a matter of principle for us. I requested the Georgian President to interfere and he promised to personally address the problem,” the Armenian PM told reporters on Tuesday.

Encroachments on Norashen Armenian Church started in 1994.

The latest incident took place on November 16, 2008, when Georgian monk Tariel Sikinchelashvili instructed workers to raze to the ground the graves of Mikhail and Lidia Tamamshevs.

This barbarian act outraged Armenians, who demanded to let the graves in their place.

Upon arrival of representatives of the Armenian Apostolic Church and parliament member Van Bayburt, the Georgian monk said he just wanted to replace the gravestones to “clean under them.”

Wow just checked that map again, it misses Armenian by like an inch (in map terms),
this has landlocked Armenia even worse as they cannot get oil from Georgia, the Caspian sea and Russia's pipleline goes through to Azerbaijan and I don't think they will be giving Armenia any oil anytime soon.

Plus who destroys a grave anyway, thats disrespectful and downright sick.

How are Armenians getting resources trade wise at the moment?

Armenia gets resources by ferry connection from Russian port Novorossiysk to Batumi or Poti in Adjaria (Georgia)

So basically

They've screwed over Armenia so much that Armenia can only receive resources from there or from Iran?
