Altough, I loathe that Djugashvili guy, he was correct there from a Social Psychology point of view. When we hear a death news like someone killed in a traffic accident on the telly, we feel sad.really bad..but when we hear about the death toll in iraq, it is kinda that death is somthing but ordinary.
And dear mamikon and chargemaster, when it comes to term genocide, it is not the death toll what matters but deliberately murdering of a group of people. Please take a look at the 1948 Genocide Convention,which also argues that the convention could not be used for ''judging'' pre-WWII events.

maybe you should take at the 1948 Genocide Convention; if the
Armenians' intent had really been Genocide you would have Azeri deaths
in hundreds of thousands not 613...lets not forget, many of the Azeri
refugees had to pass through Armenian lands to get to Azerbaijan.

ho ho, how convenient to just cite the 613 and totall ignore the rest, the civilian death toll for Azerbaijan is in the tens of thousands. Most of those Turks that passed were murdered in cold blood - scalping, cutting of penises, etc are all reported by human rights organizations, that I quoted before, but you haven't read anything. The Armenian intent in Karabakh and its surrounding territories was to clean the from Azeri Turks, and they have succeeded in doing that.

what books have you read about the conlfict?
In none of them...even in the pro-Azeri, "Azerbaijani Diary" there is
no mention of tens of thousands of dead Azeri civlians. What nonsense
is this...

never read of Karabakh being neglected economically in any of the
papers that I have read of the subjects. If you could provide reputable
sources assertint that on average the people of Karabakh were poorer
than the people in other regions of Azerbaijan I would be happy to look
into them.
Azerbaijan was a poor country, and both Armenians
and Azeri Turks were equally affected by poverty and had to work hard
to make the ends meet. The alleged poverty of Karabakh Armenian is a
poor excuse for seperatism. Being poor does not give anybody the right
to steal what rightfully belongs to others. |
In many sources it will state that Karabakh Armenians accuse the
Azeri government of economic neglect. They didn't even have a main road
running through Karabakh until the Armenian diaspora had fundraisers
and built one themselves.
Btw, I did not say this was the spark of the conflict. The unjust
annexation and economic backwardness of the region was the fuel that
was leaking for decades, and the pogrom was the spark that sent it all
up in flames.

Ah yes, territorial integrity. The age-old argument. Again, where
was Armenia's territorial integrity when Azerbaijan took control of
those two Armenian provinces?
Also, when you use pogroms to get rid of minority populations like
Azerbaijan did to the Armenians, that population has a right to defend
itself. You have repeatedly called this self-defense a breach of
"international law". Utter nonsense.

There's smth about Armenians in conflict regions.
" Bagramian" battalion which gained its fame as most murderous battalion in Abkhazian civil war, became shameful image of Armenian chauvinism and hate toward Georgians and Georgia. The refugee Armenians, who found cozy shelter in Georgia ( Tbilisi, Lower Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti ) during the Russian Tzarism and then during the sovietization of Georgia, inspired by the imperial Russia's covered or obvious protection and help undertook the shameful anti Georgian acts of terror in Abkhazia and expansion dreaming about the restoration of " The Great Armenia" between the black and Caspian seas at the expense and ravishment of Georgian territories. For this reason the chauvinist Armenian groups must ones forever give up unreasonable claims on the Georgian land and culture.

Datuna I hope you are aware that Tbilisi (as well as Baku) had a major Armenian population, even before WWI.
So maybe you should stop this propaganda crap...There are many more anti-Georgian sites than you can dream of.
Just because I dont post them here (the same goes for anti-Azeri propaganda sites) doesnt meant they dont exist...

Armenia got rid of as many as 200,000 Azeri Turks within her territories. Where was their right to defend themselves? Self-defense does not involve ethnic cleansing and scorch earth policies against the indigenous population, and that is precisely why your alleged "self-defense", which I would rather call an agressive invasion and land grab, is against international law, and precisely why the cessionist entity remains unrecognized, and will remain unrecognized and in breach of international law until the day when every single refugee unjustly expelled from their land return to their rightfully owned homes!

I never said it would be wrong for Azeris to take up arms against
Armenians if in fact they were being kicked out of their homes. They
had every right to do so, but the reality is they didn't do it, while
the Armenians punished the Azeri authority severely for their mistake.
Also, how are those refugees supposed to return to Armenia when
Azerbaijan refuses to open the border?
And you never addressed what right Azerbaijan had in taking those
provinces in the first place. Armenia's territorial integrity can be
trampled on while Azerbaijan's has to be fully respected, just because
some legal document says so? Legality doesn't always equate to justice.

You call it land-grabbing, I call it justice
(except for the expulsion of natives which Azerbaijan is also equally
responsible for and initiated in 1988). Azerbaijan had no
right to the land except for a Soviet annexation policy. All the
subsequent international rights they had acquired for Karabakh were
thus irrelevant. Also, as me and mamikon have said, the Azeris are
guilty of everything they accuse the Armenians of. Does that mean the
international community should not recognize Azerbaijan as well?

And I'm sure you're aware that except for
modern Armenia and Georgia, which are tiny, all surrounding lands
(including Nakhichevan) are populated exclusively by Muslims.

Exactly, the gap in opinion is unbirdgeable. We'd both be better off talking to a brick-wall rather than continuing this pointless discsussion ad infitum and ad nauseum, and turning it into a futile meaningless excercise in rhetorical skills. I'm off.
