Nato is literally better off with Georgia and Ukraine being in the group.

Not to mention Azerbaijan even offers more to Nato than Armenia.

I guess their religious bias wins over their "secular views".

For the west, it's better this way. Azerbaijan is locked into tensions with Iran now (and by extension TR) and Armenia being off the table means they have to focus on Iran. It's extremely clever policy. Removes an ally of Russia and Iran, blocks TR regional ambitions of trade, energy, "stability" and creates dependency on the west for TR and Azerbaijan, because of the Iranian threat

Macron cancelled his visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Reason unknown

Not unknown, Macron is coming to BD on 10th September instead of Armenia.
This is quite significant and historic. Defence and aerospace cooperation are likely to be on the agenda.

Its mind boggling that Armenia wants to start a war when their own military doesn't exist

WTF are they doing ?

They are crazy. On X they are still daydreaming of taking large parts of Turkiye.

Greeks dream of the same thing.

Greeks and Armenians are our biggest enemy will continue to be.

Give these a little power they will go after us.

Two hostile entities from their governments to the people. Nearly everything is hostile about them.

They should never be underestimated no matter how many times they cry like a b*tch.

Armenian government seems to be panicking.

Pashinyan “I am ready to sign peace deal tonight based on the current conditions”

Foreign minister “we recognise Azerbaijans sovereignty. We want peace”

It's apparent that U.S. wants escalation, because this 50 man joint military exercise obviously means nothing in practice, but effectively bears a message to Russia, trying to force their hands in accommodating Armenian requests to intervene, in fear of growing Western influence in Armenia. And any such intervention will escalate, and may result in a distraction for some of the Russian forces away from Ukraine and another by-product might be a confrontation with Iran by Azerbaijan. Now how likely is this? 5%-10%. The empire has enough leeway, patience and money to gamble on these odds, and not care when the bet doesn't bear fruit. The Empire does gambles like these all the time; they lose the bets, and their detractors celebrate, not understanding that the empire does these gambles because they can afford it, not because they think they're gonna win. So this time also they will lose the gamble, because it's a tall order: Russia will not fall for it. Nothing will come of it.

Also on a side note, Iran who pretends to be against Azerbaijan because of Israeli cooperation, seems a little bit too silent about Armenia's cooperation with the Great Satan. So it was not about Israel, after all.

What a farce the Akp government is only using our Ottoman ancestors and Sunni Islam to their benefit.

Akp government is even trying to hand over properties seized by the Turkish republic. Ataturk seized their properties because he considered Armenians to have commit treason against the state and were no longer welcome in the newly formed Turkish republic. Which made sense why should Gazi Ataturk ever allow the Armenians after they killed so many Turks and tried to destroy the Turkish homeland.

Akp government is handing them all back is even trying to encourage armenians coming back to Turkiye they also turned a blind eye to illegal Armenians getting into Turkiye.

Akp has much to answer for cucking the Turkish republic that goes against the interests of the Majority Turkish population.
On another side note:
So many of our problems in our country can be traced back to people with non-Turk ancestors seeking revenge from Turks in crypto ways under the name of religion/liberalism; and Turks are asleep and have no clue about any of this, naively assuming everyone to be of equal loyalty to the country only doubting it along political lines. Just watch the video and see how after decades, these people still carry the hatred against those who took power away from them after late-Ottoman incompetence had handed out outsized power to minority elements in capitulation to and appeasement of European powers. All the banks were in their hands, and a lot of influential posts. Like you look at vezirs, ministerial positions and other high ranking officials and its mostly people of Balkan, Circassian, Armenian, Greek and Jewish origin. Ohannes Pasha, Gabriel Noradunkyan, Bedros Halladjian, Nubar Pasha, Bedros Kapamacıyan, Artin Boshgezenian, Hurşid Pasha, Alexandros Karatheodori Pasha, Avram Galanti, Vitali Farhi. And they turned around and stabbed them in the back anyway.

Have the Jewish lobbies lost their influence or was the good relations between Azerbaijan and Israel an exaggeration @500 ?
How Jewish lobbies are related here.

Anyway I think Armenia moving away from Russia is good for everyone. Both for Azerbaijan and Armenia.

As I said, Armenia cannot move away from Russia. This is a symbolic move to force Russia's hand in choosing a more aggressive role for its "peacekeepers".

Baku-Nakhchivan-Baku flights usually using armenian airspace are now avoiding it.

Good decision as risks are too high in times of high tensions.

Bursa has similar population to Armenia and the city exports $13 billions worth of goods, whereas Armenia, as a country, exports a bit more than $3 billions. That tells you everything about the quality of education and workforce of Armenia.

Edit: I thought Bursa had close to 3m people. It turns out that Armenia's population(2.8mil) is 40% more than Bursa's(2mil).

Azerbaijan military activity is reported on the Armenian border. TB2s are flying patrol missions and Azerbaijani heavy artillery and electronic warfare systems are stationed near the Armenian border.

Azerbaijan FM Ceyhun Bayramov. Azerbaijan will open the Zangezur corridor alone if necessary.

Huge convoy movements are reported.
