    • @jaredhamilton8694

      I believe that the Somalian president is pushing for a constitutional amendment which transfers most of the powers of the prime minister/legislature/states to himself to better fight unrest (effectively making himself a dictator). But since Puntland doesn’t face much of that unrest justifying that power grab and already has a very autonomous government, they’re declaring a sort of pseudo-independence until the amendments transferring Puntland’s authority to the president are stopped.

      @user-sx1mm1sl6u Місяць тому +71

      Nope, that's just not true.
      Short answer : It was given to Azerbaijan because 1- it was an Armenian ethnic exclave surrounded by Azeris from all sides and 2- Turkey demanded that in the peace treaty that ended the Turkish-Armenian War. This was done before Stalin took over btw.
      Long answer :
      On the first point, Nagorno-Karabakh was surrounded from all sides by non-Armenian majority areas. To their West was "Red Kurdistan", an area inhabited by Azeri-speaking Shia Kurds who demanded to be included in Azerbaijan due to their affinity with Azeris (language and religion), while to their North, East and South, they were surrounded by Azeri majority areas. To make the situation clearer to you, the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh in 1990 was a little under 150 thousand people while the refugee population displaced/expelled during that same war was 500 thousand (mostly Azeris and Kurds from surrounding areas but including the Azeri minority in Nagorno-Karabakh too).
      This means giving the ethnic exclave to Armenia in order to grant Armenians their right to self determination would have disregarded that same right for a population three times+ the Armenian population.
      On the second point, Turkey was waging a war on Armenia in the wake of WW1, and the front was basically in a state of constant Armenian retreat and constant Turkish advance (as well as the displacement of Armenians in those areas further and further to the East). By November, Turkish forces reached what is today Armenia and were occupying Gyumri (then Alexandropol, Armenia's second largest city). It was at this time that Armenian communists with support from the Red Army launched a coup d'état and immediately sued for peace (as the only other option was Turkey destroying what little remained of Armenia). Turkey obviously had the upper hand in the conflict so it was able to enforce a lot of demands on Armenia and the USSR in the treaties of Treaty of Alexandropol and Kars. One of those demands was to strengthen the Azerbaijani SSR as Turkey felt affinity to them (both being Turks and all).
      Fun fact : After the coup d'état in Armenia, the first Azerbaijani Communist leader, Nariman Narimanov, actually publicly stated that he will give all of Karabakh (including the Azeri majority areas) to Armenia (along with even Nakhchivan and Zangezur) as a show of "Communist brotherhood between nations". After all they were now part of the same country where things like ethnicity and religion were supposed to matter less, and Azerbaijan itself had quite a lot of Armenian majority exclaves so they didn't mind Armenia having significant Azeri ethnic exclaves too but Lenin rejected the idea because of Turkey's demands (the USSR was still fighting the Russian Civil War and didn't want to start a war on another front with Turkey, not to mention they were really hoping Turkey would join the Communist bloc at the time).
      Thus, a committee was set up by Lenin to draw the borders and was asked to put into consideration the demographic as well as the geopolitical situations. The committee (made up by people from all ethnicities in the region) agreed on a compromise : Nagorno-Karabakh will become part of Azerbaijan (to not anger Turkey and to appease Azeris and Kurds in the surrounding areas) but it will have an autonomous status (most notably linguistic and cultural autonomy) with its borders being specifically designed to include as many Armenian majority settlements as possible. They also had to make Nakhchivan an exclave of Azerbaijan because Turkey insisted on a border with Azerbaijan (through the Aras Corridor which Turkey got through a land exchange with Iran) and in return, they gave Zangezur to Armenia.
      In conclusion : Soviet enclaves were not a case of "divide and conquer by Stalin", they were a response by committees made up of locals to the demographic, geopolitical and economic reality at the time, and the people who drew the borders didn't even think the Soviet Union was ever going to collapse resulting in those borders becoming a source of war and conflict.
      Irrelevant Note : I am pro-Armenian, as I feel an immense amount of sympathy towards them for their history and the genocide they had endure (+ Armenians and Arabs are pretty friendly towards each other so there is bias there coming from my Arab background), but it is necessary to look at the matter in its historical context as well as understand the very valid Azeri concerns and grievances in the situation if you want peace in the region and a durable solution.

      Kinda, the place had an important armenian population before and they gave it to the azeris likely in hopes of that, but the region was originally mainly habitated by Kurds, and Azeris were also a big population, so tbf you could argue he did it because the Kurds were more related to the Azeris as they were both "persian-like" cultures

      The villages that were returned to Azerbaijan by Armenia were Azerbaijani territory. They were occupied by Armenia since the start of the First Karabakh War. The borders were drawn by the Stalin regime. There are 4 more villages that Armenia has to give back. The Azerbaijani government will probably not surrender control of the occupied village in the exclave until Armenia cedes control over the Zangezur Corridor and/or some sort of formal agreement is signed by the Armenian side.
      Compromises will be made, notwithstanding what either of the sides want...

    In this days armenia is more weak than azerbaijan and yeah azerbaijan demand some lands from armenia. But in past (espically 1991-1993) armenia killed muslim people in khojali and even in the karabakh. And guess what happened.
    Nothing. Literally nothing.

      Because Turks didn't have ASALA who assasinated turkish diplomats in Europe and eventually had Europe acknowledge the so-called genocide threatening to intensify their terror attacks. Armenians are literally no peacemakers. All they want is an discrimination against the Turkish population based on their Turkish identity but what they miss is Armenia is nothing.

      Well this is a bit like the Palestine- Israel conflict. Palestine (Armenia) is ceasing to exist one by one piece of land until it just disappears of the map. Hamas is using the palestine people to ruin their own country, but the palestinian people are right now getting repressed by the collonisers(israel) to cease to exist. So what I am saying is that when you're country is getting taken over bit by bit, you will get some nationalism and the people of the country that have been colonised will do geno#cide.

      I mean, though it's separed from the rest of Azerbaijan, it's been that way for decades so it may just remain the way it is. But if things had to change, there were proposals for an Azerbaijani annexation of the Zangezur Corridor, or a Turkish/Azerbaijani Republic of Goycha-Zangezur, Nakhchivan was also considered by many (not all) Turks as a part of Misak-ı Milli (the national oath of Turks, lands Turkey would originally resist to keep)
