pretty scared who tf would go in after him if they vote him out. It's either going to Vladimir Putin wearing a mustache or someone with the level of insanity to match the azeris

I mean, accusing armenia of irredentism is fair but, 1) is that a bad thing always, 2) there were armenians living in nk who were about to have a BAD time in 1991. The insistance on wilsonian armenia is the irrendentalism that triggers the turks, becuase it reminds them of the treaty of sevres, which is why they view recongnition of the genocide as a threat to the state.

If anything nationalism needs to be that extreme considering the long term issues Azerbaijan has. It isn’t like the war actually gained them any economically viable territory and they are still banking on their remaining energy industry.

Biden Preparing to Declare That Atrocities Against Armenia Were Genocide

The designation for the World War I-era killings would further fray U.S. relations with Turkey, but it is a risk the president appears willing to take to further human rights, officials said.

It's about Sevres (it always is)

basically the same treaty that started the Turkish war of independence would grant Armenia the Van area, officially recognise the genocide, and also establish European protectorates in Turkey.

Basically Turks see accepting the genocide as the same as the dismemberment of their state.

I’ll put my money on Pashinyan’s My Step party winning the elections. The defeat in the war is a grave blow, but I have strong doubts that Armenians will return the old oligarchs like Robert Kocharyan to power so soon after they were booted out.

funniest part about the Istanbul/Constantinople shitflinging is that Istanbul was greek and armenian slang not turkish. the only grammatically turkish part of the name is the "i" at the beginning.

e: reason being that turkish has an issue with beginning words with certain consonant clusters. So for loanwords like spinach, station, skeleton, statistic you get ispanak, istasyon, iskelet, istatistik

imagine being the most strategically located country in history with the patronage of the most powerful empire in history, and throwing it all away because recognizing history reminds you of a treaty from 1920 for which all of the signatory states besides like Belgium no longer exist

hmm if there was a way to say "gently caress turkey" without also advocating the colonial division of the mid-east, that'd be great. Also this would definitely immediately start a three-way war between Armenia, Georgia, and Kurdistan.

hmmm a majority Turkish Armenian state I'm sure that'd be sustainable.

Also a Greece that's like 75% Turkish.

considering the skill the georgian and armenian armies have shown in the past decade this would guarantee a kurdish super state so im down
