@tryndaOP Russia is not only selling weapons to both nations. It is also the primary ally of Armenia and Armenia hosts a Russian military base in Gyumri. Azerbaijan has nothing to offer other than oil, which Russia has more than it will ever need. Russia went to a fucking expensive and long-overdue war for a frigging military base in Syria. You think they will stand aside seeing an ally falling? Also, the conflict over Artsakh plays in their favor way too much. Both countries will have to rely on Russia to resolve the conflict, one way or another. This conflict is what keeps Armenia from opening up to the West, and Azerbaijan a grey area, never really going full friendly with the US/EU nor with Russia.

@ashrafuluzzal9058 India is a country that simply uses Hindu nationalism, same as most Islamic countries are led by a sense of Arabic, Islam nationalism. Modi is one of the founders of the most popular democratic party in India right now. BJP do not think they are the upper citizens in India, but they think they are the majority and the ones who should decide how India should look like, who they welcome into their country, etc.

@ashrafuluzzal9058 It is not normal, but that mosque you are speaking was not originally demolished. It has long been a derelict one and they are rebuilding the are as a Hindu temple. Nothing wrong about it. Arabs and Turks have for generations demolished or converted Christian churches into mosques. If you think that is not ok, it is your right. But when we see Hagia Sophia and other churches being converted into mosques, destroying the historical legacy of other people, then you have no right to complain about Hindu's doing the same thing. You are as much of a nazi as they are in this regard, based on your own assessments. I ain't Indian, so I give no shit about Modi. But I do like him, as a nationalist and conservative myself. I think his views on Islam are correct. Islam is a plague and a menace to all people, both its followers and those that do not follow it.

@Tony-Injection Even Hitler had a very positive view of Islam. In his writings, he did appreciate Islam as a strong religious conviction, especially compared to Christianity.

@ashrafuluzzal9058 Amnesty International is a den of marxists that pretty much support a globalist political agenda. Modi was right in evicting them from India.

Good luck with that. This is an age old plan that will see 0 chances of success. There are too many big powers involved in the region to allow the balance to shit so decisively in favor of one single country. In the scenario you describe, neither Russian, EU or the US wants the balance of power to be broken. Not even China. They all will team up against Turkey.

Russia won't take over them anytime soon. The cost of maintaining Crimea alone is already taking its toll. But that won't stop them at controlling both as a spectator. Having Armenia and Azerbaijan fighting means that Russia's stranglehold on Armenia's internal and external affairs will remain uncontested, while they continue selling weapons to Azerbaijan. They not only gain money from this, but also political supremacy over the Caucasus.

@ashrafuluzzal9058 I doubt it. Russia is more interested in maintaining the status quo. This way, they can keep their stranglehold on Armenia, while also selling weapons to Azerbaijan. If one side gets the upper hand, the risk of them losing grasp on them increases.

@ashrafuluzzal9058 Demolisher of an already demolished mosque? LoL How many churches did you destroy and convert them into mosques anyway?

@tryndaOP Ukraine was also in the Soviet Union. This doesn't change the fact that Ukraine and Russia have bad relations overall. Russia and Azerbaijan have good relations, but on a whole lower level compared to Armenian-Russian relations. I know that Russia has their military base in Armenia proper. But that military base there proves that Russia is more committed to side with Armenia in case of need than with Azerbaijan. Russia ultimately wants to control Armenia, and to keep Azerbaijan from becoming too close with the West. In other words, they don't want Azerbaijan to be a second Georgia. How can they accomplish this? By maintaining the current status-quo in Artsakh. This conflict secures the stranglehold Russia has over Armenia, because Armenia has no one to turn to in case it needs help, but it secures at least the neutrality of Azerbaijan, as they would not want to anger Russia by becoming too close with the West. The 2008 Georgian-Russian war is just an example of what happens when a country part of the Russian sphere of influence becomes too close with the West. Artsakh is just an example though. Russia maintains its grasp over Armenia because of 2 similar breakaway regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It keeps Ukraine in check because of Crimea and Donbas. It keeps Moldova in check because of Transnistria. Anyway, I do support the end of the conflict, and consider the updated Madrid agreements as rather fair. The Lachin corridor under Armenian control and UNO administration of Artsakh until a referendum for independence or unification with Armenia is conducted sounds rather fair.
