The USSR proved it wasn't imperialist by using the most overused imperialist strategy in redrawing ethnic maps and stoking tension to keep your subjects loyal to you.
Is it positive or negative? There are only two facts 1. The deportation of peoples is a reality 2. Before the collapse, there were no conflicts on national grounds. ?
The only reason why the wars even started, was because of the USSR collapse. There was no problem redrawing borders because all of it was the same country anyway.
25 million Azerbaijani Turks live in the area we call South Azerbaijan. And in the whole of Iran, the number of Turks reaches 35 million, together with Shahsavans, Azerbaijanis who have moved to other cities, and Turkmens.

@@burningphoenix6679 Considering the history between the two countries, this isn’t going to end anytime soon even with Russia potentially pulling out of Armenia.
Some corrections: there were few Azerbaijanis living in karabakh was because they were forced to leave karabakh. Azerbaijan had 1 million of refugees. Search about Khojaly genocide. Secondly there are nearly 40 million of Azerbaijanis living in Northern İran (called south Azerbaijan)
Last time I searched Khodjali, Ive seen a confession from an Ex KGB claiming it was Heydar Aliev, father of present Az president and former KGB boss who orchestrated it. Itw is available in Russian. Check Maxim Lazovsky.
Before you talk about 600 people killed in Khojaly as a Genocide you better stop to deny the Armenian genocide on 1,5 millions. As outsiders you loose the credability by deniel of on of the biggest and most documented genocides(Armenian genocide).

Azerbaijan was very democratic country back in 90s, and armenians attacked and occupied our lands. We have refugees over 1 millions, Armenia deserves punishment.

NordVPN does refresh their addresses every now and then, but this is often slower than the speed at which the governments block the IP addresses.
A key fact missed is that Armenia's "greatest protector" Russia is arming Azerbaijan too. And in 2018, Armenia underwent a mini revolution where the PM stepped down in favor of a much more pro-West guy (Pashinyan). It's widely believed that Russia is punishing Armenia for this decision. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan's gas agreement with the EU is a big deal, but otherwise their characterization as an EU ally is pretty inaccurate. Their largest supplier of weapons was Russia for decades, only recently starting to change as they import more from Israel and Turkey. Unless I missed it, the video also doesn't mention how Azerbaijan's government is a dictatorship. Surely that has something to do with the wars.
Armenia is a case of "you don't bite the hand that gives you food". Russia was defending Armenia and they had a political revolution against Russia. They sold out Russia politically when she was of no use to them anymore. Without Russian assistance Armenia is hopeless. Now that Russia already has everything that she could possibly have from Armenia, she cares as little as possible especially after they were betrayed once by Armenians. Armenia will get worse and worse but again most people don't like traitors. Armenia sold out the US as well. When Azerbaijan was closing in they went back to Russia. They are part of Russia's military alliance against NATO. They go for shorm term interest rather than a loyal long term ally.
Notice it is the Armenian government and not the people of Armenia. The people of Armenia are human beings like anyone else. In fact they are the victims of their politicians like most people in many countries in the region.
So, who else is watching this after Azerbaijan launched a military assault on Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh? Update: Azerbaijan was victorious against the Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Same here, I wonder what the GOP of the U.S. are doing concerning this conflict. I mean shouldn't they screaming at the top of their lungs for the US to help a fellow Christian-majority nation smh.....
Actually the Armenian forces never fought in the second military campaign after 2020, it was only the "Artsakh" military which didn't have any weapons and was also under a blockade for 10 months. I'd be suprised if Azerbaijan wasn't successful, Armenia was told to not intervene in the 24 hour evacuation as it could give Azerbaijan the ability to go deeper into Armenia proper.
@@Theriodontia4945it's far from over, it's 9 months later and there is still deaths every few days because of border clashes and Azerbaijan keeps pushing back on signing the peace treaty and they have been trying to milk as much out of he agreement as possible.

What history ? Armenia is a Soviet created artifical ethno-state, from the 1100's to the 1900's there hasn't been a single Armenian political entity in "historical Armenia" The region belonged to Turkish states such as the Ottomans, Akkoyunlu, Seljuks, Karakoyunlu,...
@@nenenindonu If you really say we shouldn’t make artificial ethnostates, then just don’t look at the Middle East because you’ll be surprised how much hypocrites people are.
From being a vassal of both Rome and Persia from antiquity to being sandwiched between Turkey and Azerbaijan in the 20th and 21st century, Armenia just can't have a break.
Ironically, Armenians had their best living conditons under under Ottoman rule. They were often made civil servants in the Ottoman State and there were many artisans as well as artists. The the Nationalism came to the region in 19th century and all were gradually broken.
@@kemalcalsr7591 I'm pretty sure the Armenians had their best time when they were an empire streaching from the Caspian to the Mediterraean. They were also vital for and very influentian in both Bizantium and Sassanian Iran. Mid Ottoman era was pretty good, true, but it definitely wasn't the best time in history for Armenians. And it ended up terrible.
I live in Azerbaijan and I remember those war days, we didn't even have internet connection for a while. Both nations have a clear hatred on each other but I am sure no one is pleased with war. It happened once, I don't want it to happen twice in the same decade😔

Late reply, but agreed! I‘m seeing plenty of comments criticizing the video, but I bet many viewers don‘t even know these countries. Maybe critics can create or find and support videos about these countries so we can learn more about them!
Just wonder why the world kept silence when Armenians killed Azerbaijanis and forced to leave their homes in 1992-1993? And Azerbaijan’s 20% territories occupied and destroyed by Armenians? They claimed “Karabakh was the territory of Armenia”, why they occupied seven regions around Karabakh? And all the countries recognized Karabakh as a part of Azerbaijan, even Armenia))) Armenia is a country that has a lots of problems with its neighbors, not only with Azerbaijan.
because "another Ex-USSR country goes apeshit "wasn't a big sensational headline in 1992, especially with US-aligned Afghanistan plunging into civil war ended up hogging all the media cameras.

Iraq and Bahrain aren't powerful states of "major interest" to the world. They're oil states who are exploited and not have such control or authority over the region they're located in. Bahrain is an island, and nowhere near close to being significant to the world as much as Taiwan etc. is. And Iraq is only slightly above the threshold to be considered a fail state. Meanwhile Azerbaijan is better known by the world, has significance and good relationships with the western states. (Mostly with Europe, due to resources and Eurovision).

It's same in Northern Ireland with bitter fighting between Protestants and Catholics for many decades. That is until the young people had enough and demanded the peace.
war is happend because someone really love their country and their family. if you don't have a country or family or even love there will be no war. someone wanna fight on war because they want to protect their family and their country. and why they want to protect it because they love it.
This is definitely why I'll deny doing anything in a war unless it might be a specific scenario. But like on earth there's just useless destruction and death. And the sad thing is that many still don't understand that.
Only knew Armenia for a few mma fighters. Knew Azerbaijan for their impressive amount of world class wrestlers for such a small population. Now I know something relevant about these countries.

Western intervention never fixed any geopolitical problem. If western media claims they have resolved some conflict or whatsoever, it means solution benefited only western nations, because that's what "peace" means to them. Countries in the conflict zone still suffer and they call it "peace in the West" even though they won't admit it. Western involvement to any problem will just make it more complicated and extended.
There are some terminology problems in the video. There is no such people as Azeri. The people of Azerbaijan are Turkish. The name of the state is not the name of the people.

Incredible to learn about this. I knew that there were political issues between this two countries but didn't know the details of those issues until now. Great video.
An important but overlooked detail. Pashinyan, the leader of Armenia, is a protege of Soros and continued to pursue the pro-Western policy of such predecessors as Saakashvili. The Armenian government feeds on grants from the US democracy support, supported anti-Russian sentiments with the help of funding pro-Western and anti-Russian youth organizations. In the long run, Armenia was going to betray Russia, to which it owes its existence, and withdraw from the union, as well as demand the withdrawal of Russian military bases. The escalation of the conflict in Karabakh has brought Armenia back from heaven to earth. But all the same, Pashinyan is constantly trying to push through a suicidal European anti-Russian policy for Armenia. US-funded youth movements continue to operate in Armenia, the US funds politicians, journalists and opinion leaders of Armenia to promote its anti-Russian goals, which at the same time are suicidal for Armenia. There are more in the US Embassy in Armenia than in any other country, although Armenia is very small. Pashinyan is trying to sit on two chairs.
Don't be fooled. There is no word in the video about the fact that in Armenia the protege of Soros is in the presidential chair. That is, a protege of the United States in the presidential chair and hundreds of different non-profit organizations acting on orders from the United States. Most Armenians talk about it without a drop of embarrassment 😁 The footage of a dozen runaway Russian liberals, who themselves are fed from the budgets of various American non-profit organizations, was especially amused. 🤣🤣🤣
there's no name of armenia in herodote's history book. so this is just a proof it's fake history man. stop believing the armenian lobby that just sits in LA and just posts these lies.
@@farblood Stop reading from Esseglopedia, the effects are obvious. I suppose the Armenians also carved their name on the 2600 year old Behistun Inscriptions in Iran, where Darius the Great detailed his wars with Armenia, damn those time travelling Armenians, they went back with a team of stone masons and removed Turks and Azerbaijanis and replaced them with Armenians.

As a European, I have not understood until now who the Nagorno Karabakh region belongs to. I don't understand why Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave in Azerbaijan, why it is internationally recognized as belonging to Azerbaijan and why the population is made up of an overwhelming majority of Armenians
Google is your friend. But, in short: The Caucasus region is extremely diverse with hundreds of ethnicities. This land had a largely Armenian population before, but the Soviet Union divided up the lands. Nagorno Karabakh was part of Azerbaijan since the 1930s, but had lots of autonomy (own parliament, laws, etc.). Zoom ahead to 1991 and the region of Nagorno Karabakh called itself independent from Azerbaijan. The latter of course did not agree, war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Armenia won and took some extra land. Skip to 2020 and Azerbaijan took that extra land back. Skip to 2023, and they're taking all land back.
The actual reason of Armenians being dominant in the region is the result of migrations during the Russian Charism in early 20th century. As they were losing the control over Bolsheviks they needed a christian and controllable society in the territory of Azerbaijan. So they migrated the Armenians. And within the time the amount of armenians enhanced. Actually before they attacked us in 1990s we were very close nations. The Armenians were living all over the Azerbaijan( not as dense as in Karabakh). So Azerbaijan didn't aee the chance of Armenians sudden attack.

@@kingace6186 nah, I reckon we're just going back to the status quo, historically speaking the world has been unimaginably peaceful in the years since ww2 and the west's hegemony like status is crumbling under our feet.

The west in some sense has been a decentralised benevolent empire relatively speaking.

@@hagalathekido The world hasn't been "umimaginably peaceful". Just in the 21st century alone US fueled foreign policy with Europe on its side waged several criminal wars that destroyed entire countries. There was a recent report that estimated 6 million deaths resulting from US's War on Terror mostly civilians. They sent Libya, previously the most prosperous nation in Africa, back to stone age because of daring to stand against Western hegemony and colonial nations like France are still exploiting and extracting wealth from Africa today while the US sponsor the genocide in Palestine by the apartheid state of Israel and the genocide in Yemen by Saudi Arabia. It has been reported that decades long drone strikes in Afganistan killed 90% civilians and as Julian Assange said the whole point of the 20 year long invasion of Afganistan was to transfer tax payer money to elites in the military industrial complex. They literally had zero motive other than that to stay there for 20 years. And perhaps an even worse offender was the invasion of Iraq based on complete lies (weapons of mass destruction) to steal their oil. Besides waging wars US also continues to crush the economies of many South and Central American socialist countries leading to poverty, hunger and death like in the case of Venezuela or just overthrows their elected leaders to install their brutal puppet dictators loyal to them like in Chile. Basically anyone that's the slightest threat to the empire is dealt with in horrible ways. The world definitely hasn't been peaceful post WWII just because European nations stopped fighting each other and US stopped Japan by nuking them. Honestly the unipolar world after the collapse of Soviet Union has been a complete disaster (not saying Soviets would rule any better not the point). US had the chance to use its dominance post Cold War to at least try to establish a fair and just world order instead they used their power to exploit and destroy and make themselves rich and the unraveling of the unipolar world order isn't likely to lead to any benevolent power centers either. One might argue that humanity has never been more hopeless towards the future as today.

I truly hope that at least some kind of peace can be reached because nobody deserves to live in such horror. Much love to Armenia and Azerbaijan from Croatia. 🇭🇷❤🇦🇲🇦🇿
Meanwhile here in Singapore I also learnt that Armenians were among the most prominent of the traders here back when the country was a British Crown Colony & its economy was more reliant on international maritime trade. Armenian St in our downtown (which was also pedestrianized ~5 yrs ago) was named as such to honour them I think. I remember too that our historic Raffles Hotel was established by the Armenian Sarkies Brothers (which also happened to have been bought by Qatar Investment Authority a few years ago)
The Armenia have no history. All of Armenia is Azerbaijan historcal teritory. İn the time of Russian imperia, Russian place Armenians in Zangezur and Yerevan.
yeah much love to Azerbaijan, the rapists of dead Armenian female soldier whom body they desecrated and mutilated...What a good people Azeris are when they execute surrendered POW...
yea but they are missing facts and manipulating them, Azerbaijan has good relationship with Russia, and Russia helped the oil industry in Azerbaijan, that's the why Russia din't interfiere in the Azerbaijan-Armenian war. 19.9% total imports of azerbaijan are from russia and Lukoil a russian Oil and gas company owns 10% of that gas pipeline and they din't include it in the chart 7:11 so they are hiding information, shame. For every Cubic meter of gas selled from azerbaijan to europe Russia get money. Also 9:54 all Bariaktar drones have been destroyed in ukraine since months ago, they longer has no air force. I will update the chart. BP (UK) 28.83% TPAO (Turkey) 19% SOCAR (Azerbaijan) 16.67% Petronas (Malaysia) 15.5% Lukoil (Russia) 10% Naftiran Intertrade (Iran) 10%
A bit of a long shot, but could you maybe talk about the Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan clashes? I personally find them very interesting and criminally under covered
The country in Central Asia I'm most worried about is Uzbekistan. They pretty much have the highest population and best military in the region, which they could use to crush their southern and eastern neighbours. Tjis would, however, provoke the Chinese, Russians and potentially Iranians. Must be terrifying being sandwiched between 3 nuclear powers...
@@TheFirebird123456 those fertile lands belong to Tajikistan and have always been densely populated by Tajiks. These lands have always been part Tajikistan Soviet Republic. Because the Kyrgyz are nomadic people always on the search of pastures they started incursions and territorial grabs of Tajik lands.
This all seems really familiar. Basically Nagorno Karabakh is Kosovo 2, and this entire region is a second Balkans. And funnily enough, both involve the Ottomans and the Soviets screwing everything up, with high doses of racism and ultranationalism.
Thirty five years ago I was substituting a HS history class and I asked the class if they were aware of the ethnic unrest in Nagorno-Karabak. I told them they needed to be because it was potentially the most dangerous problem in the Soviet Union. The response was snickers about funny looking people with no teeth. At the time I thought maybe I was just parroting NPR and PBS reporting. Somehow I am not a bit surprized how things are turning out.
@@aram_ameninch_garam I’m sure the attacks will stop once Pashik and Ilham finally sign a peace deal. Hundreds of thousands of my countrymen endured nearly 30 years away from their ancestral homeland. Trust me, this is painful for all of us.
@@coolboyn unfortunately Aliev does not care about deals. Our countrymen are attacked regularly in Artsakh, which was supposed to be left alone by Azerbaijan after the 2020 war with russians along the border, yet locals are constantly terrorised and attacked by your country. The fact is, no deal with Aliev is worth mich since he always demands more and disregards previous agreements.
"Why are borders in the Middle East and Africa so conflicted?" - Because British. "Why are borders in the former USSR so conflicted?" - Because Bolsheviks.
Both are because of capitalist actually, the Azeri Armenian border was peaceful until the end of socialism in the region (Wich wasn't backed by the population btw)
@@Tsuruchi_420 that’s exactly the issue. Similarly borders in the Middle East weren’t any big deal before the British left. It only started to matter after the left. Why? Well, because in the case of Britain, Britain (and France) drew the border (the current borders) without any actual thing they would be based on (linguistical differences, religious differences, ethnic differences you get the point) so you had these borders cut through ethnic groups. When they all were under the umbrella of the British that didn’t matter but after they left, boy the conflict surged. The Soviet case was also stunningly similar. There are issues with borders in Ukraine/Russia, in Central Asia, and in the Caucasus. When they were all under the Soviets that didn’t matter but when the Soviets fell, well you can guess what happens.
You forgot to mention the West - Armenia rapprochement that makes Russia reluctant to help Armenia and the good relations between Russia and Azerbaijan --> very important for this conflict
@@erikthomsen4768 to explain briefly, Armenia had the velvet revolution years ago where the government of that time was overthrown. the former president was putin’s very corrupt best friend. putin is now punishing armenia for kicking his best friend off the throne by arming azerbaijan and establishing a russian base in NGK. of course this is extremely simplified but yeah
@@erikthomsen4768 Armenia is friends with the west and Russia, but the west and Russia don't like each other. I suppose these new oil agreements by Azerbaijan and the west can also negatively affect Russia and Azerbaijanis relations- Armenia could use this as a rope to make Russia help them, but Russia in the last few wars has not helped Armenia even though they are supposedly close allies. In a recent CSTO meeting, the Armenian president was seen physically distancing himself from Putin, which could make Russia not want to help even more, leaving Armenia with zero allies that will actually do something. Technically Armenia has many allies, they just don't do anything. On the world stage, Armenia has more allies than Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijanis allies are more reliable partners. To sum it up, the west won't help Armenia because Armenia doesn't have Oil or Lithium, this is in spite of the fact Armenia is a democracy and aligns more with the West
Russia has never helped Armenia. NEVER. All Russia needed is power on the South Caucasus. Russia restrained Armenia from normal economy and policy ! Russia set Armenia`s leaders. Why?? Who are you? Don't interfere in our affairs !!!!
Azerbaijan's "good relations" good relations with the Kremlin don't mean anything if Azerbaijan is attacking a member of the CSTO. You think Israel's good relations with Washington will mean anything if they launch attacks against Germany?
That entire region has been killing each other for THOUSANDS of years, just like the Middle East. If they manage to wipe out Armenia then one of the other countries will be next or will attack them. Turkey will end up screwing them majorley somehow, or something like that.
The video is so timely. Just yesterday (the day after publication), Iran started doing large-scale military "exercises" immediately south of Azeri border. Iran explicitly opposes the establishment of the corridor to connect the 2 parts of Azerbaijan. While you'd think they'd have their hands full with internal issues, the risk of this conflict spiraling is increasing by the day it seems. 😞
Disgusting ! Says nothing of 800,000 Azerbaijanis uprooted from their homes in Karabakh, and forced to leave their lands by Armenia. How can you NOT mention this, it is disgusting. That was an ethnic cleansing campaign, and that is why over 90% of Karabakh is Armenian now. PLUS, forgot to mention the Hocali genocide, where Armenia massacred a town of Azerbaijanis.
Hey! So I notice your getting a reply from a Pan-Turk Nationalist, Let me break it down for in a very simple way In which you can easily go to google for sources. So, First off, This is a little history of the Nogorno-Karabakh region. Artsakh (Nogoro-Karabakh) Is a Armenian Region that mostly Armenians Inhabited back in 1988, You can see this Region in the Historical pictures of Ancient Armenian Empires, (Which includes Orontid 321 BC-200 BC, Artaxiad 189 BC-12 AD Arsacid 52-428, Urartu 900 BC - 700 BC, and many more), Obviously during the Uprising Of the Soviet Union, Armenia was essentially engulfed by the Soviet Union, Same with Azerbaijan, which became an Official state in 1918 to 1920 . Now, On to Nogorno Karabakh, this region, was in Azerbaijan and the Majority of inhabatints, Were Armenian (94% to be exact). Stalin gave Azerbaijan Full control over the Republic of Nogorno Karabakh, which followed with MANY Massacres from the Armenian Side (Sumgait pogrom, Kirovabad pogrom, Baku pogrom, Maraga massacre, etc etc). The Ethnic population of Armenians in Artsakh wanted to connect back Karabakh into Armenia, Which resulted in Protests to do so, eventually people agreed, and the contract was signed, but Azerbaijan refused this connection De facto. So then, A huge war broke out in 1992, resulting in the De Facto Re-Connection with the republic of Artsakh to Armenia, and therefor Armenia controlled over 90% of its historical land. Now these recent wars however, I can go on for days explaining, the amount of war crimes I have, from people getting there heads chopped off and put on Pigs, From a Woman getting her finger chopped off and put in her mouth, Vandelizing her body by writing on it, gouging her eyes out and replacing them with stones, and raping her, she was alive when this happened. Anything else, Let me know, and btw, He mentioned that 800,000 Azerbaijanis were uprooted from the homes in Karabakh, and forced to leave there lands, First off, it wasnt therelands in the first place, second, you can literally see videos of Armenians Burning there houses down because they were invading.
@@r.b8876 Hey! I notice the nonsense that you wrote and decided to reply. 1) For the past 2000 years the only thing that armenian people were good at was being a part of other empires (Roman, Kalifat (Arabs), Mongol, Aq Qoyunlu and Qara Qoyunlu (Turkomans), Persian, Ottoman and Russian). 2) Statlin did not give anything to Azerbaijan. The original text is in russian and the translations is "It was decided to keep NK within the Azerbaijan". NK was already a part of Azerbaijan when Russia invaded it and that is why such decision was made. The maps and original document are preserved in russian museums and anyone can look it up. 3) People were living peacefully during the existence of USSR for more than 70 years till armenian nationalists decided to start the war. Furthermore, till this day Azerbaijan has armenian population living in other regions including capital city. And where are azeris that were living in Armenian and what happened to them? 4) Huge war did not break up in 1992! First Karabakh was during 1988-1994. Buy the time armenians held referendum in NK in 1991 majority of azeris have already fled or were killed by armenians. And that is the reason why no one, including Armenia itself, till this day does not recognize independence of NK. 5) If the the goal of armenian people was only NK why to occupy territories surrounding NK? Even in this videos you can see that NK is half of the territories that were occupied in 90th. 6) War is war and such things are going to happen. Armenians committed way more atrocities during first NK war by killing tens of thousands of people (not only turkic but also other ethnicities) and forcing to flee 800.000. 7) Your comment regarding ethnic turkic people, who were living on this territory since 10th century, having no rights to claim this territory shows how delusional armenian people really are.
@@elnuridrisov7069 1. No Armenians we’re NOT only good at being apart of other empires, that’s just a projection, Yes, Armenia was not independent mostly, but that doesn’t mean that the only thing it was good at was being apart of other empires, for example, The Kingdom of Urartu. It was formed to keep all the mountain lurkers like the Neo Assyrians and the Hittite Empire out of The kingdom(Which Capital city was van), and was formed by the Kings of Nairi and the Hayasa azzi confederation. On the contrary, your opinions are very flawed in Regards to the Persian dynasties conquering Armenia, since they Gave Armenia its independence most of the time. But I have no idea how this relates to the argument in the first place since the only thing I was saying was that Artsakh was historically Armenian. 2. No.. this is not the certitude at which you posses, “On July 4, 1921, the Plenum of the Caucasian Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union voted to integrate Karabakh into Armenia. However, the next day, July 5, 1921, Joseph Stalin intervened to keep Karabakh in Soviet Azerbaijan. This decision was taken without local deliberation or plebiscite.” “The Bolsheviks tried to end the centuries-long rivalry between Russia and Turkey, and in 1921, Joseph Stalin formally transferred the Armenian-populated highlands of Karabakh to Soviet Azerbaijan to try to placate Turkey, though the majority of Zangezur remained within Soviet Armenia.” Therefore, your argument is flawed, since yes Stalin did TECHNICALLY give Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, because initially Russian wanted to incorporate Artsakh into Armenia, as seen in the quote, Stalin TRANSFERRED Karabakh into Azerbaijan for the motive of Calming down Turkey, which is what Placate means if you weren’t aware. 3. Stalin literally is the cause of all of this, “Under Stalin's policies, approximately 100,000 Azerbaijanis were deported from the Armenian SSR in 1948. Their houses were subsequently inhabited by Armenian repatriates who arrived in the Soviet Union from abroad.” You hear that? Under Stalin’s policies, this is another quote. “Azerbaijanis continued to live in the Armenian SSR until the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 1988-89, when practically all Azerbaijanis in Armenia left or were expelled concurrently with the expulsion/flight of Armenians from Azerbaijan.[4] The deportation was done largely without bloodshed[4] and it was partially in response to Armenians being forced out of Azerbaijan; it was also the last phase of the gradual homogenization of the Armenian republic under Soviet rule.” Yes, some were deported, but not like the way Azerbaijanis raped and killed innocent people in the Sumgait pogroms, Baku pogroms, Kiravobad Pogroms, Dushanbe Riots, and the Maraga massacres, now if we search up the interpretation of the word “Pogrom” it means massacre, massacre usually means deportation also, so, go ahead and name me one Massacre Armenians committed against Azerbaijanis in Armenia ? You’ll fail to do so, because It’s imminent that Azerbaijanis love to play victim and Sob, when Armenians are the ones burning down their homes so the Azeris don’t come take them. 4. Ok so first off, Yes, the war started from 1988-1992. When the Armenians held a referendum, the date was 1991, The “Khojaly massacre” was an incident that people can’t look away from, but it happened a year later, this your point is flawed. And you said the Majority were killed in Karabakh? Where do you get those statistics from? Name me one massacre Armenians committed in 1991, since you’re so bright I think you can provide me with a sliver of information, or a link I suppose that takes me to those statistics? 5. It’s funny that you mention this, but as we’re having this little God-Sent refute, about 50 Azerbaijani Servicemen are 20 kilometers away from Jermuk occupying, by the way I’m not sure you know what Artsakh consists of, because in the video It shows the outlines of Artsakh, as well as Lachin corridor, which is a NECESSITY to Armenian forces, because Artsakh literally has its own military, you’re so hypocritically pious and sanctimonious it’s Ludicrous. 6. No one forced anything, Azerbaijans never inhabited that region in the first place, the population was and is mostly ethnic Armenians, we clearly know who’s the invader and the occupier at this point, and as far as your 800,000 people go, You forgot about the Armenians Buddy. 7. You’re under the misapprehension that Turks have been living there for a long time, please give me a source? Please, and also give me information on how the Amanas Monastery came to be? Who built it? The Muslim Turks? Or the Christian Armenians? This debate is so funny it’s crucial you do your research, it’s inevitable at this point….
I love this channel! I feel like I'm in a geography/social studies class, I learn so much here, and I'm so appreciative of RealLifeLore, keep up the hard and great work.
This is a very simple and complicated matter at the same time for armenia. On one side having the issue of Karabagh is extremely bad for Armenia. Essentially they are in economic blockade. They have been outside of all major regional projects for the last 30 years due to this conflict. Their international debt is high, foreign investment has been falling since 2008 steadily, they were reliant on russia on many things. At the end of 1990s some smart Armenain politicians knew about it and wanted to return occupied territories back to Azerbaijan or make a deal that involve swapping lands. But extensive nationalism and war victory got into their head. They became greedy and did not want to return anything. Including 7 districts that were no doubt Azerbaijani territories. So they overthrew one government, and shot the head of another of their government that were in favor of a deal. Armenia became a victim of it's own patriotism, pride, nationalism. Essentially it is beneficial for Armenia to get rid of Nagorno Karabagh as that would allow them to move forward. Get out of economic blockade. But, no leader could go forward and tell that to armenian population. They would kill him/her immediately. They became the victim of their own greed and win
This. Armenians will be trying to keep that dumb nationalism in stupid conflicts that will never get them to progress in anything. They will keep being the country that cries for their "genocide" but never move forward towards a better future in the region and be stuck in the 1900s.
Your comment, whilst mostly fair, overlooks the fact that Turkey and Azerbaijan will undoubtedly continue to isolate Armenia economically even if the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is dropped. I am certain of that, and I will return to your comment when that happens.
@@AVV_Beats Actually at the past Turkey opened the borders several times before. There were even flights between Erivan and Istanbul. Every agressive action taken by Armenian government brought us where we are today. I prefer the otherwise for the people of Armenia this time. As puppet governments are seeding of hatred, it becomes harder to reach for peace.

Same between you and Indians, you can't just "love" Indians unconditionally. Its called Hatred and and it will keep going until the other side gets destroyed
I was recently in Azerbaijan, met and stayed with a guy for a few days who got two medals from liberating cities from Armenia. Interestingly enough he want the countries to seek peace. Unfortunately it's a huge political tool for the sitting president.
You forgot to note that Armenia has India as an ally because just like Nagorno Karabach, Kashmir is a disputed territory between India and Pakistan. Here Armenia supports India and Azerbaijan supports Pakistan. Others include Greece a nation with historical animosity with Turkey and France.
I'm pretty sure both sides are in the wrong and both countries need to get their shit together and realize that they are wasting their money and time and people on a stupid war infact neither side agree on something then there is no point in 2 countries that are called Armenia and Azerbaijan since at that point both countries should be incorporated into Georgia and this is coming from a Muslim mind you.

Thank you for shining a light on this which has big geopolitical ramifications just like what is happening in Ukraine. This just shows how Russia is such an unreliable partner.
Вы точно знаете что Азербайджан напал на Армению? Война шла на международно признанных территориях Азербайджана посмотрите на карте где шла война это территория Армении? Так кто на кого напал?
So did you hear anything about 1991-1994 Karabakh war when Armenia attacked Azerbaijan and occupied 20% of its recognized territories? And that Armenian kept under its control those occupied lands for 27 years? And Armenia was also making provocations on other Azeri-Armenian borders for 27 years? No? Not surprised!
Though not politically motivated but more on propaganda as an excuse to oust out Russian for the West to intervene which was driven by Armenian diaspora political influence. It was not intentionally to attack by Azerbaijan but more to teach them a lesson not to provoke them almost daily.
You don't need to ethnically cleanse a region to "teach" someone "a lesson". Azerbaijani initiated the 2018 clashes and shell armenia all the time, you're acting as though they don't have agency.
But it has. He didn't mention anything about 2018 revolution in Armenia, and how newly elected officials are all pro-western. Since 2018 relations between Russia and Armenia become much colder, almost ended.
Thank you for raising such an important question. Now thousands of Armenians are under blockade by Azerbaijan. Thousands of people are suffering from the lack of food and medicaments and other stuff. Dear brothers and sisters stay strong. We hope that everything will be fine soon. We always pray for you 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Pray day and night. God sees everything. Jesus is faithful. Help each other and share what you have, even smile. And remember the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. Hope, love and faith to everyone ❤🙏
Blockaders of Nahchevan complain about blockading. Invaders of Karabakh cry for help when their occupation ends. Butchers of Khojali ask Jesus to come and help them.
Are you Azerbaijani? Because if you aren't, you are a real hero that knows a lot about this conflict. I completely agree with you. When they do, it's normal. But when we do, it's the crime. If there wasn't russia power in 1991-94, armenia wouldn't do anything besides losing their right now lands. They should pray Russia is helping them@@bastadimasta

@@simaragimova7639 “kicked out”? Is that what your news channels tell you? Guess what, no one expect Azeris in Armenia and Armenians in Azerbaijan were “kicked out”. Other minorities left Armenia because of the economic and war situation, but so did and still do Armenians themselves.
The religious similarities between Azerbaijani Azeris and Iranian Azeris exist in name only. Azerbaijan is highly secular, one of the most irreligious countries on Earth, while Iran is one of the most theocratic countries on Earth.
Most Azeris are secular not irreligious. There’s a difference. Islam makes up 94% of Azeri population. Maybe they take religion as a private matter that’s why you might think they are irreligious.
Hey RealLifeLore, I have previously lived in Sri Lanka and don't know very well what has happened to make it have such a serious economic crisis so could you make a video covering everything? Thx
The have been many videos about the situation in Sri Lanka as of late, just look up Gotabaya Rajapaksa Sri Lanka on UA-cam. Though I agree that the origin value of Real Life Lore videos is pretty excellent, it can give you an idea
1. srilanka is a tourism based economy but 2 years of pandemic destroyed tourism 2. sri lanka increased ties with china because india did some sh!t there in 1980s and 90s 3. china used this opportunity by using it's debt trap diplomacy and constructed the hambantota port 4. srilanka was not able to repay the debt so china too the port on lease for 99 years 5. srilanka has a lot of loan to repay to china currently and china officially holds about 10-11% of lankan debt but unofficially it's said to be almost 50% 6. the government thought it will be great to reduce vat so that international companies will jump in and they reduced vat from 15% to 8% in december 2019 and in feburary 2020 covid hit and everything was shut down 7. this basically came to bite them in their a$$ 8. srilanka was a self sufficient nation in rice and tea and was a huge exporter of the two but government banned chemical fertilizers overnight to promote organic farming and because of this the entire agriculture sector was destroyed 9. the rajyapaksha government has been oppressing the minorities a lot firstly the tamil hindu minority and then the muslim minority (after the 2019 easter day blasts) 10. the entire country was controlled by a corrupt family (rajyapakshas) and most of the money was going inside their stomach
This is true what yall said but sri lanka actually owes a total of 51 billion dollars an i remeber reading somewhere tha most of it to the US which i found surprising considering the amount of loans they took from china and the stuff they were building with that money
Theyre not the same at all. You guys cant even speak to each other despite both being turkic. Also turks are greek/kurd and azeris are persian ethnically. Theres no such thing as a turk ethnically speaking. Genetic tests have proved it.

The USSR proved it wasn't imperialist by using the most overused imperialist strategy in redrawing ethnic maps and stoking tension to keep your subjects loyal to you.
Is it positive or negative? There are only two facts
1. The deportation of peoples is a reality
2. Before the collapse, there were no conflicts on national grounds.
?
Red imperialism is different because it's left wing. Minorities are genocided because they're class traitors rather than the wrong race so it's fine 🙄
The Soviet Union was just a Russian Empire painted red.
The only reason why the wars even started, was because of the USSR collapse. There was no problem redrawing borders because all of it was the same country anyway.
There was already ethnic tensions prior to the Soviet Union

Secondly there are nearly 40 million of Azerbaijanis living in Northern İran (called south Azerbaijan)
Last time I searched Khodjali, Ive seen a confession from an Ex KGB claiming it was Heydar Aliev, father of present Az president and former KGB boss who orchestrated it. Itw is available in Russian. Check Maxim Lazovsky.

Azerbaijan was very democratic country back in 90s, and armenians attacked and occupied our lands. We have refugees over 1 millions, Armenia deserves punishment.

Your conclusion proved correct the past 2 days
Apart from all other information in this video, today I also learned that "overseas" has nothing to do with large bodies of water.
I like your sarcasm.
A key fact missed is that Armenia's "greatest protector" Russia is arming Azerbaijan too. And in 2018, Armenia underwent a mini revolution where the PM stepped down in favor of a much more pro-West guy (Pashinyan). It's widely believed that Russia is punishing Armenia for this decision. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan's gas agreement with the EU is a big deal, but otherwise their characterization as an EU ally is pretty inaccurate. Their largest supplier of weapons was Russia for decades, only recently starting to change as they import more from Israel and Turkey.
Unless I missed it, the video also doesn't mention how Azerbaijan's government is a dictatorship. Surely that has something to do with the wars.
Armenia is a case of "you don't bite the hand that gives you food". Russia was defending Armenia and they had a political revolution against Russia. They sold out Russia politically when she was of no use to them anymore. Without Russian assistance Armenia is hopeless. Now that Russia already has everything that she could possibly have from Armenia, she cares as little as possible especially after they were betrayed once by Armenians. Armenia will get worse and worse but again most people don't like traitors. Armenia sold out the US as well. When Azerbaijan was closing in they went back to Russia. They are part of Russia's military alliance against NATO. They go for shorm term interest rather than a loyal long term ally.
Notice it is the Armenian government and not the people of Armenia. The people of Armenia are human beings like anyone else. In fact they are the victims of their politicians like most people in many countries in the region.

Just wonder why the world kept silence when Armenians killed Azerbaijanis and forced to leave their homes in 1992-1993? And Azerbaijan’s 20% territories occupied and destroyed by Armenians? They claimed “Karabakh was the territory of Armenia”, why they occupied seven regions around Karabakh? And all the countries recognized Karabakh as a part of Azerbaijan, even Armenia))) Armenia is a country that has a lots of problems with its neighbors, not only with Azerbaijan.
Because AZERBAIJAN STARTED IT WITH POGROMS AND ASSAULT/War!
because "another Ex-USSR country goes apeshit "wasn't a big sensational headline in 1992, especially with US-aligned Afghanistan plunging into civil war ended up hogging all the media cameras.

Incredible to learn about this. I knew that there were political issues between this two countries but didn't know the details of those issues until now. Great video.
Just know that the real reason the Armenian genocide happen was cause they are Christians. The real fact
An important but overlooked detail. Pashinyan, the leader of Armenia, is a protege of Soros and continued to pursue the pro-Western policy of such predecessors as Saakashvili. The Armenian government feeds on grants from the US democracy support, supported anti-Russian sentiments with the help of funding pro-Western and anti-Russian youth organizations. In the long run, Armenia was going to betray Russia, to which it owes its existence, and withdraw from the union, as well as demand the withdrawal of Russian military bases. The escalation of the conflict in Karabakh has brought Armenia back from heaven to earth. But all the same, Pashinyan is constantly trying to push through a suicidal European anti-Russian policy for Armenia. US-funded youth movements continue to operate in Armenia, the US funds politicians, journalists and opinion leaders of Armenia to promote its anti-Russian goals, which at the same time are suicidal for Armenia. There are more in the US Embassy in Armenia than in any other country, although Armenia is very small. Pashinyan is trying to sit on two chairs.
Don't be fooled. There is no word in the video about the fact that in Armenia the protege of Soros is in the presidential chair. That is, a protege of the United States in the presidential chair and hundreds of different non-profit organizations acting on orders from the United States. Most Armenians talk about it without a drop of embarrassment 😁 The footage of a dozen runaway Russian liberals, who themselves are fed from the budgets of various American non-profit organizations, was especially amused. 🤣🤣🤣

In the future, please state the year that these things take place (in this case, 2022). It may sound repetitive for the few months you have left in the yr, but gives a lot more context for people watching this in the future.
Great videos!!! 💜💜
The conflict broke out in 1988, so before independence and not 70 after Stalin's decision but more like 60 years.
I'm SouthEast Asian, and I live here in Armenia. I'm just hoping the two sides would work it out cuz both countries are beautiful. My Ma been to Baku, and she say that place was a location to die for: one of the most beautiful places in earth. I now live in Yerevan, and we got landmarks that are beyond lovely. Hopefully, both people will set aside hate and learn to appreciate the beauty of each other instead of focusing on destroying it.
(edit, I know Armenia is in Asia🤯)
What's your nationality?
armenia is in asia...
Baku is really so beautiful
@@maciejbednarczyk9361 Armenia is geographically eurasia but geopolitically, culturally, socially, economically, politically European as stated by the European Union. Same story with Georgia
The fuck you doing down there. Get the hell out
As a European, I have not understood until now who the Nagorno Karabakh region belongs to. I don't understand why Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave in Azerbaijan, why it is internationally recognized as belonging to Azerbaijan and why the population is made up of an overwhelming majority of Armenians
Google is your friend. But, in short: The Caucasus region is extremely diverse with hundreds of ethnicities. This land had a largely Armenian population before, but the Soviet Union divided up the lands. Nagorno Karabakh was part of Azerbaijan since the 1930s, but had lots of autonomy (own parliament, laws, etc.).
Zoom ahead to 1991 and the region of Nagorno Karabakh called itself independent from Azerbaijan. The latter of course did not agree, war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Armenia won and took some extra land. Skip to 2020 and Azerbaijan took that extra land back. Skip to 2023, and they're taking all land back.

The actual reason of Armenians being dominant in the region is the result of migrations during the Russian Charism in early 20th century. As they were losing the control over Bolsheviks they needed a christian and controllable society in the territory of Azerbaijan. So they migrated the Armenians. And within the time the amount of armenians enhanced. Actually before they attacked us in 1990s we were very close nations. The Armenians were living all over the Azerbaijan( not as dense as in Karabakh). So Azerbaijan didn't aee the chance of Armenians sudden attack.
@@faridmuradzada1791what a bullshit 😂 stop making up history

Great video, puts this complicated geopolitical situation in a concise understandable format
Learned more in this broadcast than any previous effort. Great job!
Disgusting ! Says nothing of 800,000 Azerbaijanis uprooted from their homes in Karabakh, and forced to leave their lands by Armenia. How can you NOT mention this, it is disgusting. That was an ethnic cleansing campaign, and that is why over 90% of Karabakh is Armenian now. PLUS, forgot to mention the Hocali genocide, where Armenia massacred a town of Azerbaijanis.

A perfect storm of calamity if you will. But, humanity has been through worse, and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. (Maybe that last line should have been a different metaphor...)
@@kingace6186 nah, I reckon we're just going back to the status quo, historically speaking the world has been unimaginably peaceful in the years since ww2 and the west's hegemony like status is crumbling under our feet.
The way I see it is there is either dominance or conflict, and the playingfield is evening out, the third world is catching up and the west is fracturing and becoming decadent.
The west in some sense has been a decentralised benevolent empire relatively speaking.
I think the ukraine war is probably the best thing that has happened to the eu and nato as it has reminded us why we should work together and that the world isn't as idyllic as some like to imagine it is.
lol no these wars have been going on forever. you don't follow international events regularly in reputable newspapers? just watching nightly news covering sports and local issues?
@@hagalathekido The world hasn't been "umimaginably peaceful". Just in the 21st century alone US fueled foreign policy with Europe on its side waged several criminal wars that destroyed entire countries. There was a recent report that estimated 6 million deaths resulting from US's War on Terror mostly civilians. They sent Libya, previously the most prosperous nation in Africa, back to stone age because of daring to stand against Western hegemony and colonial nations like France are still exploiting and extracting wealth from Africa today while the US sponsor the genocide in Palestine by the apartheid state of Israel and the genocide in Yemen by Saudi Arabia.
It has been reported that decades long drone strikes in Afganistan killed 90% civilians and as Julian Assange said the whole point of the 20 year long invasion of Afganistan was to transfer tax payer money to elites in the military industrial complex. They literally had zero motive other than that to stay there for 20 years. And perhaps an even worse offender was the invasion of Iraq based on complete lies (weapons of mass destruction) to steal their oil.
Besides waging wars US also continues to crush the economies of many South and Central American socialist countries leading to poverty, hunger and death like in the case of Venezuela or just overthrows their elected leaders to install their brutal puppet dictators loyal to them like in Chile. Basically anyone that's the slightest threat to the empire is dealt with in horrible ways.
The world definitely hasn't been peaceful post WWII just because European nations stopped fighting each other and US stopped Japan by nuking them. Honestly the unipolar world after the collapse of Soviet Union has been a complete disaster (not saying Soviets would rule any better not the point). US had the chance to use its dominance post Cold War to at least try to establish a fair and just world order instead they used their power to exploit and destroy and make themselves rich and the unraveling of the unipolar world order isn't likely to lead to any benevolent power centers either. One might argue that humanity has never been more hopeless towards the future as today.
Azerbaijan was very democratic country back in 90s, and armenians attacked and occupied our lands. We have refugees over 1 millions, Armenia deserves punishment. They gonna be losers always, if they don't learn from history. Instead of being pawn of Russia, Iran and some other countries they must worry of their own tale.
Attacking newborn neighbour with the help of Russia and killing civilians must have proper response for the sake of future. Hopefully, they won't be silly in geopolitics anymore.. Spreading false info and playing innocent and crying for help won't help them. Better, learn getting along with neighbours..
Why Georgia doesn have any problem with Azerbaijan, why Azerbaijan has many friends all around the world? Because, we respect others territorial integrity and want Peace, and good relationship with others! But, if you do not want peace and start fight, we will fight better.
I read about this conflict2 weeks ago in The Economist. They didn’t really go into any useful info which was frustrating Even a Google search was limited.

That's because the Economist is a very shitty and biased outlet.
Yes, it’s a very good video
Nicely done graphics and infographs but too many inconsistencies hidden in small details. Accuracy is really low if you compare it with many other sources hence the video is only good for certain audiences but not real class at all.
@@turqutalizade9000 Can you give me an example?
@@Hjw511 the population count in the disputed territories only consists the numbers of last decades without counting the expelled refugees during the war. Reasoning between diplomatic relations has some inaccuracies such as the why Israel and Azerbaijani has good relations or the dynamics between these countries and Russia.

So effort behind this material might be genuine but the work itself has many hidden mistakes and inaccuracies which is not clearly noticeable at times unless you do your fact checks.

Thank you man much love to you and amazing people of Croatia from Azerbaijan!
Meanwhile here in Singapore I also learnt that Armenians were among the most prominent of the traders here back when the country was a British Crown Colony & its economy was more reliant on international maritime trade. Armenian St in our downtown (which was also pedestrianized ~5 yrs ago) was named as such to honour them I think. I remember too that our historic Raffles Hotel was established by the Armenian Sarkies Brothers (which also happened to have been bought by Qatar Investment Authority a few years ago)
Maybe we can remember of our shared humanity at some point? Nah. Let's slaughter one another!
The Armenia have no history. All of Armenia is Azerbaijan historcal teritory. İn the time of Russian imperia, Russian place Armenians in Zangezur and Yerevan.

This channel continues to impress me. Just when I think the quality can't get any higher they release this video. Incredible work, keep it up!
yea but they are missing facts and manipulating them, Azerbaijan has good relationship with Russia, and Russia helped the oil industry in Azerbaijan, that's the why Russia din't interfiere in the Azerbaijan-Armenian war. 19.9% total imports of azerbaijan are from russia and Lukoil a russian Oil and gas company owns 10% of that gas pipeline and they din't include it in the chart 7:11 so they are hiding information, shame. For every Cubic meter of gas selled from azerbaijan to europe Russia get money. Also 9:54 all Bariaktar drones have been destroyed in ukraine since months ago, they longer has no air force.
I will update the chart.
BP (UK) 28.83%
TPAO (Turkey) 19%
SOCAR (Azerbaijan) 16.67%
Petronas (Malaysia) 15.5%
Lukoil (Russia) 10%

@@TheFirebird123456 those fertile lands belong to Tajikistan and have always been densely populated by Tajiks. These lands have always been part Tajikistan Soviet Republic. Because the Kyrgyz are nomadic people always on the search of pastures they started incursions and territorial grabs of Tajik lands.
This all seems really familiar. Basically Nagorno Karabakh is Kosovo 2, and this entire region is a second Balkans. And funnily enough, both involve the Ottomans and the Soviets screwing everything up, with high doses of racism and ultranationalism.
Thirty five years ago I was substituting a HS history class and I asked the class if they were aware of the ethnic unrest in Nagorno-Karabak. I told them they needed to be because it was potentially the most dangerous problem in the Soviet Union. The response was snickers about funny looking people with no teeth. At the time I thought maybe I was just parroting NPR and PBS reporting. Somehow I am not a bit surprized how things are turning out.

"Why are borders in the Middle East and Africa so conflicted?" - Because British.
"Why are borders in the former USSR so conflicted?" - Because Bolsheviks.
Both are because of capitalist actually, the Azeri Armenian border was peaceful until the end of socialism in the region (Wich wasn't backed by the population btw)

@@Tsuruchi_420 that’s exactly the issue.
Similarly borders in the Middle East weren’t any big deal before the British left. It only started to matter after the left.
Why? Well, because in the case of Britain, Britain (and France) drew the border (the current borders) without any actual thing they would be based on (linguistical differences, religious differences, ethnic differences you get the point) so you had these borders cut through ethnic groups. When they all were under the umbrella of the British that didn’t matter but after they left, boy the conflict surged.
The Soviet case was also stunningly similar. There are issues with borders in Ukraine/Russia, in Central Asia, and in the Caucasus. When they were all under the Soviets that didn’t matter but when the Soviets fell, well you can guess what happens.

@@erikthomsen4768 to explain briefly, Armenia had the velvet revolution years ago where the government of that time was overthrown. the former president was putin’s very corrupt best friend. putin is now punishing armenia for kicking his best friend off the throne by arming azerbaijan and establishing a russian base in NGK. of course this is extremely simplified but yeah
@@erikthomsen4768 Armenia is friends with the west and Russia, but the west and Russia don't like each other. I suppose these new oil agreements by Azerbaijan and the west can also negatively affect Russia and Azerbaijanis relations- Armenia could use this as a rope to make Russia help them, but Russia in the last few wars has not helped Armenia even though they are supposedly close allies. In a recent CSTO meeting, the Armenian president was seen physically distancing himself from Putin, which could make Russia not want to help even more, leaving Armenia with zero allies that will actually do something. Technically Armenia has many allies, they just don't do anything. On the world stage, Armenia has more allies than Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijanis allies are more reliable partners.
To sum it up, the west won't help Armenia because Armenia doesn't have Oil or Lithium, this is in spite of the fact Armenia is a democracy and aligns more with the West
Russia has never helped Armenia. NEVER. All Russia needed is power on the South Caucasus. Russia restrained Armenia from normal economy and policy ! Russia set Armenia`s leaders. Why?? Who are you? Don't interfere in our affairs !!!!

Very interesting video and clearly explained but the music makes it hard to listen to and concentrate on the narration.
The video is so timely. Just yesterday (the day after publication), Iran started doing large-scale military "exercises" immediately south of Azeri border. Iran explicitly opposes the establishment of the corridor to connect the 2 parts of Azerbaijan. While you'd think they'd have their hands full with internal issues, the risk of this conflict spiraling is increasing by the day it seems. 😞
Disgusting ! Says nothing of 800,000 Azerbaijanis uprooted from their homes in Karabakh, and forced to leave their lands by Armenia. How can you NOT mention this, it is disgusting. That was an ethnic cleansing campaign, and that is why over 90% of Karabakh is Armenian now. PLUS, forgot to mention the Hocali genocide, where Armenia massacred a town of Azerbaijanis.
Hey! So I notice your getting a reply from a Pan-Turk Nationalist, Let me break it down for in a very simple way In which you can easily go to google for sources.
So, First off, This is a little history of the Nogorno-Karabakh region.
Artsakh (Nogoro-Karabakh) Is a Armenian Region that mostly Armenians Inhabited back in 1988, You can see this Region in the Historical pictures of Ancient Armenian Empires, (Which includes Orontid 321 BC-200 BC, Artaxiad 189 BC-12 AD Arsacid 52-428, Urartu 900 BC - 700 BC, and many more), Obviously during the Uprising Of the Soviet Union, Armenia was essentially engulfed by the Soviet Union, Same with Azerbaijan, which became an Official state in 1918 to 1920 .
Now, On to Nogorno Karabakh, this region, was in Azerbaijan and the Majority of inhabatints, Were Armenian (94% to be exact). Stalin gave Azerbaijan Full control over the Republic of Nogorno Karabakh, which followed with MANY Massacres from the Armenian Side (Sumgait pogrom, Kirovabad pogrom, Baku pogrom, Maraga massacre, etc etc).
The Ethnic population of Armenians in Artsakh wanted to connect back Karabakh into Armenia, Which resulted in Protests to do so, eventually people agreed, and the contract was signed, but Azerbaijan refused this connection De facto.
So then, A huge war broke out in 1992, resulting in the De Facto Re-Connection with the republic of Artsakh to Armenia, and therefor Armenia controlled over 90% of its historical land.
Now these recent wars however, I can go on for days explaining, the amount of war crimes I have, from people getting there heads chopped off and put on Pigs, From a Woman getting her finger chopped off and put in her mouth, Vandelizing her body by writing on it, gouging her eyes out and replacing them with stones, and raping her, she was alive when this happened.
Anything else, Let me know, and btw, He mentioned that 800,000 Azerbaijanis were uprooted from the homes in Karabakh, and forced to leave there lands, First off, it wasnt therelands in the first place, second, you can literally see videos of Armenians Burning there houses down because they were invading.
@@cigdemylmaz1532 wtf! you better talk about 1,500,000 Armenian genicde done by turk ottomans in eastern Anatolia
@@r.b8876 Hey! I notice the nonsense that you wrote and decided to reply.
1) For the past 2000 years the only thing that armenian people were good at was being a part of other empires (Roman, Kalifat (Arabs), Mongol, Aq Qoyunlu and Qara Qoyunlu (Turkomans), Persian, Ottoman and Russian).
2) Statlin did not give anything to Azerbaijan. The original text is in russian and the translations is "It was decided to keep NK within the Azerbaijan". NK was already a part of Azerbaijan when Russia invaded it and that is why such decision was made. The maps and original document are preserved in russian museums and anyone can look it up.
3) People were living peacefully during the existence of USSR for more than 70 years till armenian nationalists decided to start the war. Furthermore, till this day Azerbaijan has armenian population living in other regions including capital city. And where are azeris that were living in Armenian and what happened to them?
4) Huge war did not break up in 1992! First Karabakh was during 1988-1994. Buy the time armenians held referendum in NK in 1991 majority of azeris have already fled or were killed by armenians. And that is the reason why no one, including Armenia itself, till this day does not recognize independence of NK.
5) If the the goal of armenian people was only NK why to occupy territories surrounding NK? Even in this videos you can see that NK is half of the territories that were occupied in 90th.
6) War is war and such things are going to happen. Armenians committed way more atrocities during first NK war by killing tens of thousands of people (not only turkic but also other ethnicities) and forcing to flee 800.000.
7) Your comment regarding ethnic turkic people, who were living on this territory since 10th century, having no rights to claim this territory shows how delusional armenian people really are.
@@elnuridrisov7069 1. No Armenians we’re NOT only good at being apart of other empires, that’s just a projection, Yes, Armenia was not independent mostly, but that doesn’t mean that the only thing it was good at was being apart of other empires, for example, The Kingdom of Urartu. It was formed to keep all the mountain lurkers like the Neo Assyrians and the Hittite Empire out of The kingdom(Which Capital city was van), and was formed by the Kings of Nairi and the Hayasa azzi confederation. On the contrary, your opinions are very flawed in Regards to the Persian dynasties conquering Armenia, since they Gave Armenia its independence most of the time. But I have no idea how this relates to the argument in the first place since the only thing I was saying was that Artsakh was historically Armenian.
2. No.. this is not the certitude at which you posses, “On July 4, 1921, the Plenum of the Caucasian Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union voted to integrate Karabakh into Armenia. However, the next day, July 5, 1921, Joseph Stalin intervened to keep Karabakh in Soviet Azerbaijan. This decision was taken without local deliberation or plebiscite.” “The Bolsheviks tried to end the centuries-long rivalry between Russia and Turkey, and in 1921, Joseph Stalin formally transferred the Armenian-populated highlands of Karabakh to Soviet Azerbaijan to try to placate Turkey, though the majority of Zangezur remained within Soviet Armenia.” Therefore, your argument is flawed, since yes Stalin did TECHNICALLY give Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, because initially Russian wanted to incorporate Artsakh into Armenia, as seen in the quote, Stalin TRANSFERRED Karabakh into Azerbaijan for the motive of Calming down Turkey, which is what Placate means if you weren’t aware.
3. Stalin literally is the cause of all of this, “Under Stalin's policies, approximately 100,000 Azerbaijanis were deported from the Armenian SSR in 1948. Their houses were subsequently inhabited by Armenian repatriates who arrived in the Soviet Union from abroad.” You hear that? Under Stalin’s policies, this is another quote. “Azerbaijanis continued to live in the Armenian SSR until the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 1988-89, when practically all Azerbaijanis in Armenia left or were expelled concurrently with the expulsion/flight of Armenians from Azerbaijan.[4] The deportation was done largely without bloodshed[4] and it was partially in response to Armenians being forced out of Azerbaijan; it was also the last phase of the gradual homogenization of the Armenian republic under Soviet rule.” Yes, some were deported, but not like the way Azerbaijanis raped and killed innocent people in the Sumgait pogroms, Baku pogroms, Kiravobad Pogroms, Dushanbe Riots, and the Maraga massacres, now if we search up the interpretation of the word “Pogrom” it means massacre, massacre usually means deportation also, so, go ahead and name me one Massacre Armenians committed against Azerbaijanis in Armenia ? You’ll fail to do so, because It’s imminent that Azerbaijanis love to play victim and Sob, when Armenians are the ones burning down their homes so the Azeris don’t come take them.
4. Ok so first off, Yes, the war started from 1988-1992. When the Armenians held a referendum, the date was 1991, The “Khojaly massacre” was an incident that people can’t look away from, but it happened a year later, this your point is flawed. And you said the Majority were killed in Karabakh? Where do you get those statistics from? Name me one massacre Armenians committed in 1991, since you’re so bright I think you can provide me with a sliver of information, or a link I suppose that takes me to those statistics?
5. It’s funny that you mention this, but as we’re having this little God-Sent refute, about 50 Azerbaijani Servicemen are 20 kilometers away from Jermuk occupying, by the way I’m not sure you know what Artsakh consists of, because in the video It shows the outlines of Artsakh, as well as Lachin corridor, which is a NECESSITY to Armenian forces, because Artsakh literally has its own military, you’re so hypocritically pious and sanctimonious it’s Ludicrous.
6. No one forced anything, Azerbaijans never inhabited that region in the first place, the population was and is mostly ethnic Armenians, we clearly know who’s the invader and the occupier at this point, and as far as your 800,000 people go, You forgot about the Armenians Buddy.
7. You’re under the misapprehension that Turks have been living there for a long time, please give me a source? Please, and also give me information on how the Amanas Monastery came to be? Who built it? The Muslim Turks? Or the Christian Armenians? This debate is so funny it’s crucial you do your research, it’s inevitable at this point….
I love this channel! I feel like I'm in a geography/social studies class, I learn so much here, and I'm so appreciative of RealLifeLore, keep up the hard and great work.
This is a very simple and complicated matter at the same time for armenia. On one side having the issue of Karabagh is extremely bad for Armenia. Essentially they are in economic blockade. They have been outside of all major regional projects for the last 30 years due to this conflict. Their international debt is high, foreign investment has been falling since 2008 steadily, they were reliant on russia on many things. At the end of 1990s some smart Armenain politicians knew about it and wanted to return occupied territories back to Azerbaijan or make a deal that involve swapping lands. But extensive nationalism and war victory got into their head. They became greedy and did not want to return anything. Including 7 districts that were no doubt Azerbaijani territories. So they overthrew one government, and shot the head of another of their government that were in favor of a deal. Armenia became a victim of it's own patriotism, pride, nationalism. Essentially it is beneficial for Armenia to get rid of Nagorno Karabagh as that would allow them to move forward. Get out of economic blockade. But, no leader could go forward and tell that to armenian population. They would kill him/her immediately. They became the victim of their own greed and win
This.
Armenians will be trying to keep that dumb nationalism in stupid conflicts that will never get them to progress in anything.
They will keep being the country that cries for their "genocide" but never move forward towards a better future in the region and be stuck in the 1900s.
Exactly. Due to the recent events they should support their presedent to get relations to normal. Their only friends are their neighbours
Wow,that explains everything.
Your comment, whilst mostly fair, overlooks the fact that Turkey and Azerbaijan will undoubtedly continue to isolate Armenia economically even if the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is dropped. I am certain of that, and I will return to your comment when that happens.
@@AVV_Beats Actually at the past Turkey opened the borders several times before. There were even flights between Erivan and Istanbul.

You forgot to note that Armenia has India as an ally because just like Nagorno Karabach, Kashmir is a disputed territory between India and Pakistan. Here Armenia supports India and Azerbaijan supports Pakistan. Others include Greece a nation with historical animosity with Turkey and France.
I'm pretty sure both sides are in the wrong and both countries need to get their shit together and realize that they are wasting their money and time and people on a stupid war infact neither side agree on something then there is no point in 2 countries that are called Armenia and Azerbaijan since at that point both countries should be incorporated into Georgia and this is coming from a Muslim mind you.
@@maas1208 I feel Azerbaijan is right here at taking back what belongs to her. After all they are lands recognized by the international community as part of Azerbaijan.
@@garycrasto1310 So now democracy doesnt really matter ? Just like how Palestinians had no say in formation of Israel.
@@garycrasto1310 Bro, you can't just march into a land which people Dorn want to be with. Armenians have fucking right to live there. And tho your kosovo flag. Let's say you go be part of serbia, it's either more worse. They gona hate you and try to remove you from your home. Same as azeris do with armenians.
@@garycrasto1310 Azerbaijan keeps attacking internationally recognized Armenian territories like Syunik, it's part of Armenia! it's not only about Artsakh
I didn't even know that Azerbaijan has attacked Armenia recently, last I heard was the 2020 war... The mainstream media seems to have sidelined this issue too... I pity Armenia. Thank you for shining a light on this which has big geopolitical ramifications just like what is happening in Ukraine. This just shows how Russia is such an unreliable partner.
Вы точно знаете что Азербайджан напал на Армению? Война шла на международно признанных территориях Азербайджана посмотрите на карте где шла война это территория Армении? Так кто на кого напал?
So did you hear anything about 1991-1994 Karabakh war when Armenia attacked Azerbaijan and occupied 20% of its recognized territories? And that Armenian kept under its control those occupied lands for 27 years? And Armenia was also making provocations on other Azeri-Armenian borders for 27 years? No? Not surprised!
W Azerbaijan, Karabakh is Azerbaijan 😂
Armenia attacked and commited massacres against Azerbaijan in 1990-94.
I love how your channel doesn’t have a political slant. Just the facts about various situations.
Though not politically motivated but more on propaganda as an excuse to oust out Russian for the West to intervene which was driven by Armenian diaspora political influence. It was not intentionally to attack by Azerbaijan but more to teach them a lesson not to provoke them almost daily.
It is wester motivated
BS. The anti-Russian bias reeks
You don't need to ethnically cleanse a region to "teach" someone "a lesson". Azerbaijani initiated the 2018 clashes and shell armenia all the time, you're acting as though they don't have agency.
But it has. He didn't mention anything about 2018 revolution in Armenia, and how newly elected officials are all pro-western. Since 2018 relations between Russia and Armenia become much colder, almost ended.
Thank you for raising such an important question. Now thousands of Armenians are under blockade by Azerbaijan. Thousands of people are suffering from the lack of food and medicaments and other stuff. Dear brothers and sisters stay strong. We hope that everything will be fine soon. We always pray for you 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Pray day and night. God sees everything. Jesus is faithful. Help each other and share what you have, even smile. And remember the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. Hope, love and faith to everyone ❤🙏
You do not allow us to open the Zengezur corridor, so we do not open the Laçin corridor. everything is mutual
Blockaders of Nahchevan complain about blockading. Invaders of Karabakh cry for help when their occupation ends. Butchers of Khojali ask Jesus to come and help them.
It is fun how people who tortured and massacred people of Karabakh and Irevane khanate are calling for mercy from Jesus. Shame on you
Are you Azerbaijani? Because if you aren't, you are a real hero that knows a lot about this conflict. I completely agree with you. When they do, it's normal. But when we do, it's the crime. If there wasn't russia power in 1991-94, armenia wouldn't do anything besides losing their right now lands. They should pray Russia is helping them@@bastadimasta

It's an incredibly messy situation. I wish people could just make peace, but the world isn't that simple.
Its not that easy
everybody wishes, but the governments of both of them are very bad.
@@abeb1k well the goverment of armenia is proeuropean (although the goverment there is called bandits by my grandmother in evrevan) while
aserbaidschan has a diktator who get the power from hes father which aparently instigated the massacares on the armenians in baku
thes is acoording to a quick overlook of wikipedia as well, a refugee from aserbadschan as well as my grandmother from erevan
People are just too monkey brain and people in higher power have no humanity left all they care is that war equals more money
You cant make peace with people who want to see your children murdered
3:20 could have done with making historically accurate borders since modern borders don't give you a good idea the sheer amount of manipulative border redrawing the soviets did
We lived within each others communities . Still do. Armenia simply kicked out all minorities and became monoethnic.
چه تاریخی چه زمانی من که هر چی به تاریخ رجوع میکنم باکو نخجوان هر دو خاک ایران بودن برای هزار سال
@@simaragimova7639 “kicked out”? Is that what your news channels tell you? Guess what, no one expect Azeris in Armenia and Armenians in Azerbaijan were “kicked out”. Other minorities left Armenia because of the economic and war situation, but so did and still do Armenians themselves.
It's not just the USSR. In North Africa we have similar problems because of the way France drew the borders.
@@sorena7699 And Iran also belonged to the people of Azerbaijan
The religious similarities between Azerbaijani Azeris and Iranian Azeris exist in name only. Azerbaijan is highly secular, one of the most irreligious countries on Earth, while Iran is one of the most theocratic countries on Earth.
Westerners believe that all Muslims they don't like are theocrats.
Most Azeris are secular not irreligious. There’s a difference. Islam makes up 94% of Azeri population. Maybe they take religion as a private matter that’s why you might think they are irreligious.
@@EliasRoy Yes thats what I mean for the most part.
If India will do that in Kashmir and force the Muslims to go to Pakistan, what will be response of the Muslim world?
Hey RealLifeLore, I have previously lived in Sri Lanka and don't know very well what has happened to make it have such a serious economic crisis so could you make a video covering everything? Thx
The have been many videos about the situation in Sri Lanka as of late, just look up Gotabaya Rajapaksa Sri Lanka on UA-cam.
Though I agree that the origin value of Real Life Lore videos is pretty excellent, it can give you an idea
1. srilanka is a tourism based economy but 2 years of pandemic destroyed tourism
2. sri lanka increased ties with china because india did some sh!t there in 1980s and 90s
3. china used this opportunity by using it's debt trap diplomacy and constructed the hambantota port
4. srilanka was not able to repay the debt so china too the port on lease for 99 years
5. srilanka has a lot of loan to repay to china currently and china officially holds about 10-11% of lankan debt but unofficially it's said to be almost 50%
6. the government thought it will be great to reduce vat so that international companies will jump in and they reduced vat from 15% to 8% in december 2019 and in feburary 2020 covid hit and everything was shut down
7. this basically came to bite them in their a$$
8. srilanka was a self sufficient nation in rice and tea and was a huge exporter of the two but government banned chemical fertilizers overnight to promote organic farming and because of this the entire agriculture sector was destroyed
9. the rajyapaksha government has been oppressing the minorities a lot firstly the tamil hindu minority and then the muslim minority (after the 2019 easter day blasts)
10. the entire country was controlled by a corrupt family (rajyapakshas) and most of the money was going inside their stomach
@@randomhooman3236 very good summary. 👍
A slight regime change operation, and also horrible economic policies by the Rajapaksa family
This is true what yall said but sri lanka actually owes a total of 51 billion dollars an i remeber reading somewhere tha most of it to the US which i found surprising considering the amount of loans they took from china and the stuff they were building with that money
i am Turkish, and yes its true we see The Azeris as pretty much the same folk. but i do hope the fighting between our brothers and Armenia can stop.
Theyre not the same at all. You guys cant even speak to each other despite both being turkic. Also turks are greek/kurd and azeris are persian ethnically. Theres no such thing as a turk ethnically speaking. Genetic tests have proved it.
Same brother.
Yea maybe they should stop attacking Armenia then
First, your country must stop supplying your brithers with weapons and military personals. Then maybe Azerbaijan won't feel inboldened to attack.
🇹🇷❤️🇦🇿
Briillant video. Geopolitics on this channel are something else.
Wait what?! I am Azerbaijani and according to Armenian and Azerbaijani news first side who started fire was Armenia in Second Karabakh war
People will kill each other over ethnic, religious, political and economic issues before realizing the person on the other side is also a human being. This world is a strange place.
May god bless Armenia and the people of Armenia. 🇷🇴❤️🇦🇲
Didn’t age well.
@@DevletGM What
@@DomnulDarius Karabgh is Azerbaijan
It would be super cool, to be able to explore both of these countries.
Anyone notice, it seems like the a solid majority of the northern hemisphere, is on the brink of war?
Majority is a very strong word, it's a pretty small minority of countries but pretty important ones.
Azerbaijan is rich and can afford all kind of weapons ,turkey is powerful country ,Armenia is very poor with no weapon ,for that Armenia seeks peace always ,but Azerbaijan and turkey want war to destroy Armenia once and for all ,who on earth will save this Christian peaceful people ? Armenia won’t survive for more than two more years ,farewell Armenia ,and welcome war mongers and killers and vicious Muslims of Azerbaijan and turkey.

@@amiel2983What do you think of the West and Russia?
No questions just want to send some love. I am fascinated by your country. I will always find it special as the first Christian nation on earth. I also sponsor children from Armenia. God bless you and your people
3 mil Armenians against over a 100mil Turkics. Sounds balanced
Literally some 300 Spartan sh!t going on in here
3.million Armenia claim land from Türkiye and Azerbaycan and Georgia ıs it not weird???
@@user-sb3yq5hi5p No considering that Turkics weren't even in the region before 11th century. The dispute with Georgia tho is different. Both of us lived here for thousands of years, both had huge empires at some point and our borders overlapped so now we wanna see who's the original owner of what land
