Somebody said Trump either sponsored or directly achieved one ceasefire or piece agreement every month in 6 months since his inauguration. Nobel Piece Prize, anyone? Obama received one just for being half black. Totally DEI.
An interesting little nugget.
If President Trump can get these 2 countries to make peace, it would be awesome. They have been fighting for longer than they have been independent.
Armenia is Christian and has been harassed forever by Turkey and Azerbaijan.
My friend went to Azerbaijan on a business trip.
He said Baku is on par with any Western city, perhaps better because of its low crime rate.
We’ll all breathe a little easier now that that’s settled.
I’ve always wanted to visit Georgia (the country).

Russia used to "support" Armenia, but then when Azerbaijan found oil, they mostly dropped Armenia.
Last year, Russians shot down an Azerbaijani jet, and then acted arrogant about. Then they arrested and killed some Azerbaijanis. Then the Azerbaijanis started arresting Russians, back and forth. The Azerbaijani president had enough and came out and openly took the Ukraine's side, which made a lot of Russians angry.
So, these two long term enemies, Armenia and Azerbaijan have forged a new friendship in their mutual dislike of Russia.
from the FRchives:
I have been thinking for some time that 1 of Russia's biggest problems (on top of its declining birth rate and alocholism) will be the Muslim nations of Central Asia and Russia's own Muslim population.
Putin has already been switching over his allegiance to Muslim groups.
Sounds like a good story!
The movie is meh, but the book calls up great imagery. I had to read it in college, under a freakish Turkish prof. Surprised me.
He brought in some Romanian woman prof to lecture on Vlad. Halfway scared me.
Years later, I worked with someone who rode motorcycles to Vlad’s castle for s#its and grins.

Harassed??? Try murdered and displaced! Churches bombed and destroyed
“Russia used to “support” Armenia, but then when Azerbaijan found oil, they mostly dropped Armenia.”
Huh? What? The Baku oilfields have been in production for over a hundred years. They were the main oil source for the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
They are also the biggest oil supplier to Israel. And in return, Israel sells them the weapons that we give them, then the Azerbaijani’s use those weapons to kill Christian’s. 👍
Russian influence in the Balkans is being downsized.
