On Armenia

 Protesters storm Armenian parliament and govt. headquarters


A brutally honest opinion on the war for Artsakh/Nagorno Karabakh


Kevork Almassian: I can’t remember a day in the modern history of Armenia that is worse than losing most parts of the independent region of Artsakh. The Armenian genocide was a great tragedy but losing Artsakh paves the way for another ethnic cleansing of the Armenians not only today but also in the near future. 


Armenia, the oldest Christian nation on earth, has been DEFEATED by (Muslim) Azerbaijan, which was backed by (Muslim) Turkey, in a war which began in September.  The Christian world . . .  stood by and did nothing.

This was truly a spectacle to watch from afar.  For weeks, Armenia shouted "We're winning."   Most recently though, it went like this:

Nov 7 - "We're winning"

Nov. 8 - "We're winning:

Nov. 9 -- We surrender.

In a little less than two months, Armenia's visually confirmed losses included:

  • 185 T-72 tanks
  • 90 armored fighting vehicles
  • 182 artillery pieces
  • 73 multiple rocket launchers
  • 26 SAMs (including 5x S-300 and 1x Tor)
  • 14 radars/jammers
  • 1 Su-25 fighter jet
  • 4 UAVs
  • 451 other Vehicles

Those numbers represent about forty percent (40%) of Armenia's pre-war assets; wiped out in WEEKS.

But what is truly striking about this is that Azerbaijan, which has next to ZERO military experience, defeated Armenia at all!

Of course, the role of Turkey played a big part in Armenia's defeat.   

Yet most striking of all, on the streets of victorious Azerbaijan, is being waved the flag of . . . Israel.

The country whose very essence, above all other aspects of its existence, is full of people who HATE Christ so viciously, their Talmud claims he is "In hell, boiling in hot semen"  seemed to be a massive (but sneakily quiet) force in the Azerbaijan victory over Christian Armenia. 


Russia Achieves Ceasefire In Nagorno-Karabakh

The war over Nagorno-Karabakh has ended for now. The Armenian Autonomous Oblast within Azerbaijan will continue to exits with Russian peacekeepers currently deploying to control its borders. Most of the Armenian occupied territories will be handed back to Azerbaijan. A Russian controlled land corridor will connect Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.

This is the outcome that Russia had long proposed during previous peace negotiations.

Armenia, under the western-installed Prime Minister Pashinyan, has barely managed to defend the ethnic enclave. Azerbaijan did not achieve its hoped for control over all of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijan, with its wealth of gas and oil money, had been able to arm itself with hundreds of drones from Turkey and Israel that allowed it to achieve air superiority. The Armenian defenders were not trained to sufficiently camouflage themselves from air threats. Their old air defenses were not capable enough to detect and defend against small drones. They therefore lost hundreds of tanks and artillery pieces to suicide drone attacks.

Azerbaijan, and the contingent of 'moderate rebels' mercenaries it had rented from Turkey, failed to invade the mountainous core of Nagorno-Karabakh. They lost several thousand men, many more than the defending Armenians, while trying to do that.



Armenia had to agree to the ceasefire after Azerbaijan gained control of Shusha, a town on the 'Lachin corridor' supply road between Stapanakert in Nagorno-Karbakh and Armenia. Azerbaijan had to agree to the ceasefire after its forces yesterday shot down a Russian helicopter flying within Armenia. Any further move after that would have brought Russian forces into the war.

After the announcement of the ceasefire Armenians stormed government buildings in Yerevan. Prime Minister Pashinyan, who had neglected the military while trying to make nice with the 'west', is likely to get removed from his office.

With this outcome Russia has strengthened its position in the Caucasus while Turkey's attempt to insert itself into the region had only limited success.
