Armenia—Azerbaijan Conflict Aftermath: Discord in Armenia

[Cashew]

It's irrelevant whether NK is "ethnically Armenians" or "populated by Armenians" etc. – neither changes the fact that it is internationally recognized Azeri territory and illegally occupied by Armenian forces. One cannot simply ignore or invalidate this just because the Armenians appear more likable.

Objectively, Azerbaijan has the right to reclaim all of its sovereign territory (if necessarily, by force). It does not have the right to attack Armenia proper, of course.

This has nothing to do with likeability, if Armenia is defeated NK is getting ethnically cleansed.

Pure speculation on your part. Just claiming that something terrible may happen is a weak argument compared to national sovereignty/territorial integrity as core principles of international law – and since one can neither prove nor disprove it, it's a pretty pointless one as well.

This is a country where an ax murderer was pardoned and made a national hero by Aliyev because his victim was Armenian, and state sponsored historical falsification has promoted the idea of Yerevan as part of "west Azerbaijan". "Pure speculation" you say, well assuming that the Armenians of NK will live happily ever after under Azerbaijani rule is far, far beyond speculation. Core principles of international law are not inviolable either, seeing as though the "illegal" independence of Kosovo is usually justified on the grounds of preventing ethic cleansing, but sure the borders are infallible expect for the precedent that supposedly is not a precedent.

It’s genuinely appalling the lack of coverage this has gotten compared to the slightest discontent between Israel-Palestine.

Well, at least you can count on Adam Schiff talking about this.

I wonder how long it'll take until we start hearing the natsec ghouls say it's okay for Azerbaijan to ethnically cleanse Armenians because Russia and Armenia are allies.

I'm seeing plenty of people saying it Armenia's fault for making a poor choice of allies, as if cutting ties with Russia would have caused the west favor them over Turkey and Azerbaijan. Then you also have the clowns who insist that Armenia needs to "accept reality" and improve relations with the country that still denies their genocide and the ethnonationist regime to their east, as if they would have been willing to do the same had they been in Armenia's position.
