The geographical placement of Armenia is just...... I literally have no words for it.
A disaster
Armenia is ucked
That's the law of nature Armenia itself replaced the Kingdom of Urartu
yeah, it sucks to be land locked country
Because this country was created by Russian Empire. Without Russians , how do you think country like that would exist? All around them are Muslims. This country wasn't there for thousands of years and suddenly Russian Enperor created it by taking Aemenians from Iran and Turkey and now these things are happening.

Anything to bring down gas prices
Is that supposed to be bad? US is always taking care of resources being available. But not really for themselves, right? They have all the oil and all the gas and all the minerals they need. So why is everyone so angry at US for trying to keep the world alive and blood pumping? A lot of people benefit from this US meddling - if they didn't insist on South China Sea belonging also to Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines (as per international law) - China would eat everyone alive.
Don’t really have a choice, right w8ma0? They cut oil and gas from Russia so need it somewhere else
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

Azerbaijan didn't attack Armenia. Armenia has occupied Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan is fighting without its internationally recognized territory
And this month Nagorno-Karabakh is under the control of Azerbaijan. Very good at explaining why these two nations are at odd with each other!
Azerbaijan Israil and Turkey is power of Region. They know that Armenia is Invader
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.

This conflict will either end up extremely bloody, or extremely drawn out Or worse, both
This conflict has existed for decades and is fueled by turkey and russia backing their respective allies to demonstrate their power status
Hopefully without Russia Armenia will be forced to end their support for Artsahk so Azerbaijan can take it back and the conflict can end.
Considering how quickly the Armenian forces folded in the last war, I presume that the conflict will be extremely bloody but very quick.

In the early years of conflict, they expelled all Azerbaijanis from Nagorno Karabakh, 40 000 people. And without Azerbaijanis they voted for independence and this referendum was not recognized so this is brutal violation international law. In addition, there were more Azerbaijanis than Armenians in all of Karabakh. Armenians were the majority in Khankendi. About 1 million Azerbaijanis were expelled from all of Karabakh. They suffered a lot. After the second Karabakh war, Armenians who were deliberately settled illegally were given a lot of time to leave Kalbajar and Lachin. By the way, when the Armenians left, they burned houses and trees. But when Armenia occupied the territory of Azerbaijan in the 1st Karabakh war, the Azerbaijanis were not given much time and faced a lot of hardship and suffering. Armenians even committed massacres in Karabakh. Azerbaijanis who saved their lives had to live in tents in very bad conditions. My mother is from Karabakh, from Fuzuli. My father is from Vedi (a region in Armenia). More than 300 thousand Azerbaijanis were expelled from Armenia, about 1 million Azerbaijanis were expelled from Karabakh. Armenia is currently a mono-ethnic country, but it was not like that before. There were many Azerbaijanis. Even in Yerevan, the majority were Azerbaijanis. Armenians oppressed Azerbaijanis. Now the cycle has changed. They will pay for what they did to us! This video is extremely biased.

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.
If Armenia did not occupy Karabakh, it would not be in the situation it is now They insulted and humiliated Azerbaijan for 30 years! They will pay for everything they do! This video is biased.

As an azerbaijani I'm against any war/conflict where there are possibilities of talks. But right in the beginning of this video there's a mistake of location of conflict. A military collision never happened at the official borders of Azerbaijan and Armenia as shown in that picture. The war was going on Karabakh region which is really far from the borders
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😔
Its a shame the international community has not invested as much effort and attention into resolving civil conflicts other than Northern Ireland.

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.

eyah@@hypercept
I wanted to do a Fulbright in Azerbaijani. But the conflict broke out again and it didn't make sense to go.
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.

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
Briefly: that’s an ancient Armenian land that was gifted to Azerbaijan during USSR, although it was mostly populated by Armenians
Just by the look of map and not knowing the implications, is it possible that the karagagh region and some bordering area is given to Armenia and Armenia gives equivalent land in it's south to Azerbaijan so there are no enclaves?
Yes, Stalin and Turkey did this purposefully. There was no enclaves or islands before. And before Tatar Turks filled in Armenians, Russians and Jews lived in Baku (Russian lands). Also note it was Armenians who first drilled the oil in Baku. Then massacres started in 1920 (part of Armenian Genocide by Turks).
10:42 there are 4 Shia majority countries, Iraq and Bahrain are mostly Shia too. To be fair though, it's true that the power balance is much less favorable in those two, with Iraq having a large Sunni population, and Bahrain's royal family being Sunni.
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).

Interesting you should Comment this, and I should read it one day later. Why? Well, I have just decided the same thing. You are not alone. Peace.
Yeah man that's about exactly how I feel lately
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.

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.
These videos are actual gems RealLifeLore, keep doing what you do man you’re simply amazing !
I was kinda suprised by someone speaking about specifically " Azerbaijan and Armenia". Either way it's a fantastic video showcasing a lot of details.
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.

its not a one sided issue armenia is guilty of ethnic cleansing and kicking over a million plus azerbijians from armenia
Some facts were wrong. How could Armenians conflict with Azerbaijan go back centuries when Azerbaijan only existed since 1918 ? Before then that area was part of Russia, Iran, ottoman empire , Mongolia , Arabs, and Historic Armenian empire going back for more than 3000 years.

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.
'Azerbaijan existed since 1918'. Right. Then azerbaijanis were suddenly brought here by aliens and were given a state.
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 conflict is one of System of a Down's major inspirations.
I think it's sorted now!
Another spectacular video over a very important subject that gets very little recognition from western media.
western media dont seem to pay attention to invasions that benefit them
Maybe because it's not their problem, you don't see The Telegraph reporting on Ethiopian skirmishes either.
Western media is very biased, unfortunately..
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.
This is so well done and informative. Ty.
That video aged well
So... question here... how does Azerbaijan send troops and resources into Nakchivan???
Loving the high quality content
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% Naftiran Intertrade (Iran) 10%
Ya, of course it's quality is going to improve since it's a US government controlled KZhead channel like infographics
Check out covert cabal or Caspian report for better analysis.
I want to learn more about Turkey’s relationship with Armenia in a future video as well as Turkey and Egypt and Iran and Egypt
Turkey and Egypt don't have good relations at all minus that mini Morsi cameo. Egypt has historically been an ally of Greece too and neither people's had good relations even within the ottoman empire when iirc the governor of Egypt at the time marched an army at the ottoman center of power and had to be stopped by the European powers. As for Iran and Egypt since Egypt is a big ally of Saudi Arabia it's kinda obvious what their relationship is like.

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. 🤣🤣🤣

You skipped 1990s intentionally, In the 1990s they were the aggressor; still remember the Azeri boy seperated by Armenian terrorist from his grandmother taken away to be killed. You can look it up in youtube.😢
Who was the aggressor?! Who started the Pogroms in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad and fullscale assault on Stepanakert?!
no
@@garym.5931 1st. The "pogroms" were the consequence of what had been happening in Armenia & Karabakh to ethnical Azeris: from the early 1980s, as they were being forced out & expelled from Karabakh & Armenia (in early XX century, majority of Armenia's population were ethnical Azeris, until Russian Empire started to resettle Armenians in the Azeri khanates), This amounted to hundreds thousands of ethnical Azeri population of Armenia & Karabakh becoming refugees and fleeing to Az-an. The situation intensified when Gorbachev came to power in the mid 1980s: he had some strong pro-Armenian (ethnic Armenians) supporters/nationalists in his govt who allegedly had Gorbachev promised that Karabakh will become Armenia's. 2nd. "Pogroms" in Sumgayit were well organized and came after the expelling of Azeris from Armenian SSR & Karabakh in the 1980s: expelling of Azeri population from Armenia & Karabakh is what had made so many Azeris so angry. The key leader of "pogroms" was ethnical Armenian from Baku (who was later sent to "serve his term" in Russia but apparently soon after was set free to live his life as he pleased, after helping to destroy the lives of so many), but that didn't stop him from killing and raping his fellow Armenians. Of course there were ethnical Azeri criminals among them, too (criminals are criminals in any nationality) but quite a few Armenian Azeris as well. This was a well set up operation as the later KGB investigation had shown, albeit it was abruptly ended. Who cares for the truth, eh? Azeris are to blame and the end. And don't forget 20 January 1990 aka Black January - did Azeris shot themselves as well?
It is your favorite argument. But you dont want to accept that Sumgait massacre was organized by armenian guy who was participant of terrorist gang dashak. They did it intentionally to be triggered for karabakh war.@@garym.5931

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.

After I looked your video, I guessed that this conflict would proceed very soon. So, today a new offensive in Karabakh was officially started according to news portals...
Armenian need to develop friendly relationships with Azerbiajan and Turkey to make progress.
Correct observation: for almost 200 years, it has been trying to destroy the Turks, with whom it has been living with either western or eastern imperialists without any problems for hundreds of years. He gets defeated and plays the role of victim every time. Someone among the Armenians will come forward and put an end to this stupidity. He stops being someone's tool and sits down with his neighbors to negotiate fair terms.
Yeah make friends with the people who committed genocide against your people numerous times. Solid idea why didn’t the Jews just become friends with the Nazis?
it seems Georgia has much at stake as well. I'd like to hear more re them
Georgia would almost certainly in Azerbaijan's camp since they already has a beef with Armenia's backer, Russia.
Georgia’s kind of tired of both sides.
