would anyone be willing to effort-post about the history behind these two countries and/or their current political climates? I only have the vaguest idea about this region.

My reading on this topic informs me that the Presidium of the USSR established a Special Administrative Region of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to prevent the Armenian Supreme Soviet from unilaterally transferring control of the region away from the Azerbaijani Supreme Soviet in violation of the Soviet Constitution, a program of cultural and economic aid was provided to finance development of the region, and a multilateral force of troops were deployed to maintain the peace. In this sense, the ability of Moscow to act as a mediating force over Armenia and Azerbaijan does seem to be preferable to the current relationship.

sum posted:Literally all I know about the region comes from the book Black Garden (by de Waal, it's about 20 years old at this point). That said, it seems to be the most authoritative single English source on the region at the moment so I'll summarize the key points as best I remember them. Thanks for this. That flare-up in the late 80s under Gorbachev was covered in two pages of a book I had, but that was it, so it's nice to have a bigger perspective.

Al-Saqr posted:I assume your saying that Therefore it’s ok to shove all the uighurs into concentration camps and systematically destroy their religion, culture, mosques, etc. and subjecting them to surveillance and extreme oppression. I read it in a book by Seymour Hersh that was mostly about how the entire narrative we've been sold about bin Laden's killing was completely faked, and finding some level of confirmation of the take feels... odd and disconcerting.

well if you zoom in on the tailpipe and enhance the fins I think you'll that according to the wikipedia page, that's clearly an Armenian missile, with an angle that can be geolocated back to a launch site in Armenia

sum posted:I mean even if Azerbaijan got exactly what they wanted they'd basically just have mini-Chechnya on their hands except even more heavily armed and also being directly supported by their neighbors. Like what's they're end game, hope the Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh just leave? "just leave", euphemistically, sure
