An inconvenient truth...
This wasn't really a "war", but yet a transfer of lands. Being in the diaspora, it's hard to tell which stories are true so I don't like to partake in political debates on the internal affairs of Armenia's government online, but one thing is evident, ethnic Armenian territories were HANDED OVER to tyrrany once again.
Strongarmed by warmongering neighbors and , with deeper silent backing by countries like and other Western nations not worth mentioning (otherwise it'll sound like a "conspiracy" to some), Armenia's map keeps shrinking due to National and International corruption and ignorance.
Here's something hard to ignore: has lost close to 150,000 square miles of ancestral land in the last 100 years ! After watching a ton of videos circulating on the web, it is sadly noticeable how unprotected our borders are. Not to mention how underdeveloped and poorly maintained the towns and villages surrounding our borders are.
Azerbaijan's own president even mentioned it himself in the latest post-treaty Minsk meeting! Asking "what Armenians were even doing with those towns? It's unbelievable how people even lived there" referring to the poor conditions of the lands we recently HANDED OVER. Nevertheless, this doesn't give a green light for any nation to be attacked, but should be a signal for us to gather all the resources we can to secure our borders ASAP !
Apart from doing our own homework of restructuring, there needs to be a global attentiveness to the obvious uncontrollable factors which played a major role in all of this, INJUSTICE. Will a "peace" treaty ever go in favor of humanity? Even crazier, will International Law ever resurface? Does CRIME & PUNISHMENT even exist on a large scale like this?
Now that we are all awake, we should pledge that unprovoked attacks on our sovereignty, land grabs for financial gains by terrorist nations, and our own ignorance will not define borders in 2021 and beyond!
