The naval rivalry between Greece and Turkey over oil drilling sounds about as nonviolent as the bloody Cod War.

The only thing I know about Baku is that something's going on over there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku_bid_for_the_2016_Summer_Olympics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku_bid_for_the_2020_Summer_Olympics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bids_for_the_2024_and_2028_Summer_Olympics#Proposed_bids_which_did_not_go_to_application

So, is there any interest in the actual region of being an independent state as a solution, as there is in Kashmir? Wondering how many cases of these disputed territorial conflicts could be resolved by splitting the difference and just letting the locals run things on their own in neutrality.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if they're independent now but seek future annexation into Armenia, sort of like Russia does with the self-declared Donbass republics or with regions like South Ossetia. Not exactly independent and neutral like in the case of a hypothetical truly independent Kashmir.

Trying to rile up their muslim neighbors to take out the heathen competition was pretty common. Solidarity is hard folks. Is that what happened to the Assyrians and Kurds

sullat posted:Well, they (The British) secretly promised the same chunk of Anatolia to both the Greeks and the Italians. Once the Italians found out, they pulled out of the coalition's attack on Turkey leaving the Greeks and French to fight alone with only massive British cash subsidies to aid them. Reuniting the Western and Eastern Rome would've solved that one.

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
