The biggest mistake we made was staying silent and allowing only their side of the narrative to propagate. Naturally we are at a disadvantage since the geopolitical position is for the imperial powers to support the weaker against the stronger, so Armenia is always going to be supported by outside imperial powers against Turkey. Their voice will gain traction and their crimes will be hidden, meanwhile our voice will be silenced and even if we commit no crimes endless crimes will be promoted.
This is why Armenia despite being a military ally of Russia still gets support from the USA and EU, because both sides see Armenia as a tool against Turkey and anything that is pro Turkey.
Armenians constantly switch sides to every empire that was the strongest.
Mind you the Armenians even helped the Arabs invade the Persians and the Caucasus.
Because the Arab Caliphate was the superpower. Armenians before the Arabs constantly switched sides to the Romans to the Persians and back to the Romans.
When the Turks arrived in Anatolia they quickly pledged their allegiance to the Seljuks. As the Seljuks collapsed due to internal problems and the Crusaders invaded they switched to the Crusader side.
Mongols invaded and the Armenians quickly switched to their side.
Islamic Sources also indicate that the Armenians were pretty brutal and sadisitic in the Mongol Siege of Baghdad.
Mongols began to lose to the Mamluks and the Armenians swicthed to the Mamluk side.
This is all history im not making it up.
They survived this long because they switched sides to the strongest empire. That strong empire starts weakening they go to the next strong empire.
Thats why the Armenians are trying to join the EU and the West because Russia is weakening they know it.
But this time Armenia is shackled to Russia on a chain.
Armenia also pissed off its neighbours Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Georgia by claiming their lands even threatening future wars by saying we are getting those lands back.
Now Turkiye, Georgia and Azerbaijan are close in trade and economy and are bypassing Armenia.
Armenia has caused this to themselves. Now they pay the price for being such backstabbers.
Nobody respects backstabbers.
A lot of our neighbours have moved on but the Armenians and Greeks have not.
