Only people I've really seen trying to make this about religion are serbs, who desperately want the Armenians to do a Srbencia (which they won't)

Azeris are mostly agnostic or culturally shia, even Iran hate them, this isnt about religion

its what Armenian twitter is claiming but missiles jamming into the ground like that isn't super rare. On the other hand it's the Azeri government who lie even when the truth sounds better so who knows.

the thing is that you can't see any cracks in the asphalt around the impact so it somehow drilled a perfect hole

The SOAD tracks and music video especially are a little dissonant feeling because on one hand while naturally they would support Armenia in what they would view is a war of survival against aggression, hearing them sing anything in favor of military and patriotism is just so strange

Yeah it's very dissonant especially considering Serj's entire work in the band and solo but I guess a defensive war of a small country is easier to defend than american imperialism?

Iranian TV isn't all terrible(just mostly) but you have to limit it to non-political, nonsexual, nonvulgar, and nonaction oriented (the last one more for budget than morality). So dramas are basically the only thing allowed to be made in a way that they can not suck. SO's Hazara so I got a look at some of the fare there. Also some comically bad Afghan media which is worse than even those Ghana tv shows that were a meme a decade ago.

Turkey is apparently the big media producer of the region and is one of the biggest media exporters generally, but honestly the only thing I've ever found actually enjoyable to watch was produced on Netflix. If you've exhausted your Netflix backlog Bir Başkadır("Ethos" in English) is an actually good series, if a little bit slow. The english dubs are terrible naturally so go for the subs.

More on topic what's the situation with Armenia's government? Last word was that it looked like they were gonna topple but I haven't heard anything since.

I watched that turkish drama series about Osman's father Ertugrul and it has some real decent production values but it's of course full of antihistorical wank about the Ottoman Empire (and set before the Ottoman Empire!)

lolling at the "armenia should have just joined nato" discourse in d&d

Unfortunately they are on a really bad position because NATO on paper does sound more willing and ready to defend them than the CSTO after the 2020 debacle but in truth Turkey and Azerbaijan hold the West by the nuts so I think it is impossible for Armenia to even join them (and even the EU defense pact as well).

yellowcar posted:

isn't armenia incredibly pro-russia?

Pashinyan's government isn't and a lot of the population wants Armenia to join the European Union, which is exactly why the Russians did jack poo poo during the last conflict as it was likely Putin expected the loss would ensure Pashinyan would be ousted (which it almost did!).

Trolling the Armenians and Azeri.
A crash course from the Soviet Authorities

- Give Azerbaijan a lovely microborder with their Turkish relatives

- Don’t connect this border with the rest of Azerbaijan, make it an loving enclave in Armenian rear end

- Make the same Armenians enclave inside of Azerbaijan, but keep it a part of the latter.

- Wait for a mutual war clusterfuck at a random moment of history

BONUS: Give the Holy Mount of Ararat to the Turks (Ataturk WOULD NEVER betray us), reducing the size of Armenia by 1.5.
