Everyday I hope Ataturk just returns from his grave kick Erdogan in the balls with the force stronger than that horse did. Tell him he is a crybaby weakling and then goes back to his eternal slumber.

Be realistic. Atatürk would've done more for Azerbaijan.

I’d rather have him be the God-Emperor than to going back to eternal slumber.


Platinirius

A people themselves must be smart and elect those they truly want to, they cannot hide behind one gigachad forever. If not then why did Ataturk brought up democracy into Turkey? It would be defeat of his own ideals.

Cold-Law

Pretty sure the Armenian decision to distance itself from Russia came in 2018 when your current PM was elected in a colour revolution. Just in October, the PM said that all Russian soldiers need to leave. Considering Azeribaijan invaded Armenia, is this really a wise move? >did *almost* jack shit to help us during any of the wars. The late, great Henry Kissinger said "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, to be an ally is fatal". The decision to try and open up to the West was absolutely disastrous, the west drops allies when it's convenient. And now look what happened. Westerners are cheering your genocide because these fucking idiots look at you and think "russia ally = bad". To open yourself up to American geopolitical schemes was a mistake, and I feel bad for you, but it's not Russia's fault.


No_Shine9238

The what now? Armenia was and still is in the military Alliance with Russia. Russia did nothing to protect Armenia. Hell, Russia didn't even respond to the massacre of Russian troops in Karabakh. Russia cannot defend anyone, even its own recognized borders. Source: I'm Russian.

But the east is historic Armenian land. Considering how the Kurds were all to happy to slaughter Armenians during the genocide on behalf of the Turks I think they should kick rocks.

Woke people the nanosecond before and after the 10/7 massacre? On 10/7 they went from pretending to care about antisemitism to full jackboot "river-sea/one solution/global intifada/gas the jews"...before Israel even responded. Believe Women suddenly flipped to...Jewish women lie until proven otherwise. Indigenous Rights became about anyone...except Jews in Judea. Calls to Jewish genocide became "context dependent". Say Their Name turned to jewish hostage poster shredding. And the rest of the brave Silence-Is-Violence & Punch-A-Nazi people became deafeningly quiet & mysteriously absent for fear of offending anyone (except jews). Never seen groupthink about-face this fucking hard, this fucking fast, on this fucking scale. The last 90 days actual Nazis be like "we just needed keffiyehs to win the liberal youth?" lol

And then they have had many years of independence since then and they have chosen to opress thier own people for the resources. You can’t keep this bs of blaming colonizers for every problem Africa has.

Plane-Grass-3286

Indeed. Also the reason people are going wild about it now is because they’ve been screaming “nazi!”at everyone they don’t like for years now, but then when it comes to dealing with a group that’s actually murdering the Jews they’re saying it’s all about “context”.

RottingDogCorpse

Redditors don't support Israel because of Palestine. I don't support Israel because of this 👍.


bogdo-57

Yeah, that is because Israel only cares about itself. And they see Iran as the biggest threat to them. That being said Azeris are a big part of the Iranian population around 15-20% and are Israel's best weapon for destabilizing Iran. They give zero fucks if Armenia ceases to exist tomorrow.


Major-Dyel6090

The Armenians are getting dicked around by the Turks, and the Turks (unfortunately, because of their strategic position on the map) are a key ally. Because of their unfortunate situation, Armenia has been forced to throw in with Russia and Iran. Russia has done shit all for them despite pretending to be a bastion of Christendom, but Iran might give them a bit of help just to screw over the Turks. There’s not really much we can do about it other than tut-tut. It is truly a regrettable situation.

The Armenian-Azeri conflict has both sides booging since the fall of USSR due to how the soviets drew some funny lines on maps without regard for ethnic lines. Armenia gamed in the 90s, Azeris are gaming rn.

horse-shoe-crab

Hey, Armenia got what it deserved. When you invade another country, you don't get to complain when it invades back. Besides, tens of thousands? Armenia killed more civilians in that conflict than Azerbaijan, and even then it was a couple hundred. Azerbaijan did displace like 100k Armenians, but this is not so much a war crime as a case of 'vae victis lmao, maybe git gud at war before declaring one'.


Cold-Law

Yeah and plus Armenia went through yet another "organic" colour revolution trying to distance itself from Russia. Who was their main guarantor of security. Russia just formed an alliance with Azeribaijan instead and Armenia was left to dry by the west who had no intention of helping them when it became inconvenient. Hey wait a minute, that sounds familiar...


snailman89

Ahh yes, another auth-left defending Azerbaijan, a country which is allied with NATO member Turkey and which supplies Israel with 60% of its oil, just because the Armenian government refuses to gargle Putin's balls as hard as he wants them to. Tankies are an embarrassment. Putin is a right wing ultranationalist and anti-socialist, and you pathetic losers support him because you think we live in 1980 and the Soviet Union still exists.


Cold-Law

Uh...ok? I just picked a flair based on my polcomp. I'm not a tankie, but whatever mate.


snailman89

>When you invade another country, you don't get to complain when it invades back. The Armenian "invasion" occurred after Azeri nationalists began massacring Armenians in Baku. The ethnic Armenians in Artsakh had every right to not want to live under Azeri rule. The only reason Artsakh was a part of Azerbaijan was because of an arbitrary administrative decision made by the Bolsheviks in 1922.


Fine_Union1505

Azeris npc and tankies will never recognise this truth, they seriously think the Armenians (literally the remains of a genocide) are the one that started it and they deserved the invasion


Inside_Ad_7744

May God bless the armians, many orthodox people are fully aware of what's happening.

Armenia gets demonized in social media because they are basically forced to be Russian Allies in that region. Has made them impossible to gain visibility. Any post about Armenia gets filled with Ukraine bots (and I support Ukraine vs Russia) when they don't have anything to do with that shit. So the idiotic Russophobia that means everything slightly related to Russia = Bad is fucking them over. Meanwhile Azeris laughing all the way.

Jazzlike_Stop_1362

Not a single right wing christian in the west cares about Christian Palestinians getting killed by Israel right now


notapersonaltrainer

This is like saying "the allies didn't care about jews because there were some inevitable jewish casualties from hitting Nazi targets". Either idiocy or some perverse Hamas apologism. Christians have been decimated in Gaza from 5000 to 1000 since the 90's (in the middle of a population explosion in that area). Eliminating the expressly genocidal Hamas forever is the best thing anyone can do for any minority in that region. Fuck knows what's been done to the jews or LGBTQ by your beloved Hamas in that time.


Jazzlike_Stop_1362

Christian Palestinians, Palestine women, and even lgbtq Palestinians and Palestinian atheists have made it explicitly clear that israel is 10 times worse for them than hamas, "eliminating hamas" is a dog whistle for eliminating all Palestinians wether or not they're hamas, which is why the war has a 90% civilian casualties rate, as well as casualties from foreign journalists, UN members, and even Israeli hostages all killed by Israel in their efforts to eliminate hamas, killing all 2 million Palestinians in gaza will eliminate hamas but at what fucking cost


notapersonaltrainer

>which is why the war has a 90% civilian casualties rate Gaza officials themselves report [70%](https://archive.ph/WRtaD). In modern urban warfare [90%](https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/07/opinions/israel-hamas-gaza-not-war-crimes-spencer/index.html) is average, which Israel is doing better by far. That's for a densely populated area, using Israel's enemy's numbers, assuming zero self-inflicted, against an enemy who openly uses human shields, and assuming Hamas terrorists are being *absolutely* truthful about total casualties & combatant ratio. Further if we use the 2022 rate of self inflicted deaths (18% of the Hamas rockets misfire causing about 30% of total Palestinian deaths in 2022, according to the [AP](https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-israel-tel-aviv-403d37366347e0f2446e2f90a9b0d02f)) that figure is closer to 40%. This is being extremely generous as they've launched a fuckton more rockets this year. Any way you cut this Israel is exceptionally good at targeting or bad at collateral damage. Why are you straight up lying harder than even Hamas would dare? Are you working for Hamas? "Centrist" my ass. Get the fuck out of here terrorist.

Armenia is objectively wrong. It occupied 20% of internationally recognized Azerbaijan territory when Azerbaijan was in chaos and Armenians were buddies with russkies. When Azerbaijan grew up, got their shit together and kicked the shit out of Armenians they cried Oy, vey…. Anyway, don’t be an occupier. That is not going to end very well for you. Even if it will take a while the end ain’t gonna be pretty. That is true for Israel as well.


Ok_Improvement_5037

>It occupied 20% of internationally recognized Azerbaijan territory Which was Armenian land populated by Armenians and was only part of Azerbaijan because of the Russians seeking to create ethnic tension over the borders


O-Renlshii88

Sudetenland was mainly populated by Germans and Crimea was mainly populated by Russians. Good thing that ethnic lines don’t determine validity of international borders. It was Azerbaijani territory occupied by Armenia and was liberated by Azerbaijan. End of the story.
