You don't decide if this happens or not, Russia does. You have absolutely no say in this matter. Armenia is in a lose lose situation. If Russia pulls out Armenia is finished. If Russia doesn't pull out Armenia will just be a mouthpiece of Russian interests. Look at the situation logically and realize this will never change. Nobody really cares what Armenia thinks, not even the Armenian leaders.
@fretfrek Armenia and Azerbajian don't decide what happens. The powers in the region do.
Both countries can only do what they're told to do. America controls Azerbajian and Russia controls Armenia. Nagorno Karabakh is only in your hands because it serves the Russian interests. Nothing more nothing less.
@yeniceri1015 you are a brain :) What means Russia controls Armenia?? You missed something very important, interests. Armenia is the only ally of Russia in the region. On the contrary to this, Armenia get weapons, investments and Russian Military base. Arcax ( not Nagorno Karabakh ) belong to us because we won the war, and nobody be it Russia, USA can never make people who are living there to leave their homes, all the population is an army, all our diaspora in case is an army. Analyzer)))))
Artsakh (Karabkh) was Armenian land since ancient times, and there is no way we are going to allow the liberties taken between the Ottoman turks and Soviet dealing of carving off our ancient lands to anyone.
Silly boy, at the end of the day it is the great powers that like the video said are fighting to influence the region that will decide what land goes to whom. All you are is a pawn in a chess game. Ancient land this blah blah blah. Wake up and realize nobody cares. THe only people talking about this also happen to be people who are absolutely powerless in the region. Just sit tight and watch the game unfold, you have no horse in this race.
If the Russians leave the region another superpower will just fill the vacuum. Who is to say the next power who controls the region will not be worse than the Russians currently are. Think with your head and not your heart.
Which regional conflict in Bosnia escalated to WW1? The Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne was killed there by a Serb back organization called the black hand, thats how ww1 started, Stratfor could get its history right.
And yea USA a major player in the region? Wee see how major it was when Russia rolled trough Georgia.
@Teranex Forget my previous response. I'm with you on what started WW1. I just don't get why you think Papic is wrong when he says that "minor local regional issues in the Balkans" escalated into WW1.
@01296501923654 Let me put it this way: If an assassination does qalify as a minor regional conflict, then he is right. The real background of WW1 was not formed in the Balkans (The Balkans had a really minor part in it).
The United States at this point has been rendered impotent in the region. One because of the military adventures and subsequent failures in the middle east and two the breakdown of the American political system where petty local election calculations visa vis small ethnic groups actually affect American foreign policy. Thus hurting American interests.
A region this important yet America still does not have an ambassador to Azerbajian.
@yeniceri1015 Nonsense pure nonsense. The US has destroyed the greatest threat to civilization in our lifetime and that is Islamic extremists. The US doesn't have to win any war it just has to disrupt the enemy. What failures are you talking about? Afghanistan will end up with Taliban control in the Pakistan border areas and the rest will be broken up into different fractions with Al Quaida being out in the cold. Just what the US wants. What ethnic groups are you talking about in local politics?
@yeniceri1015 In Afghanistan there are less than 100 Al Q members. AQ has been unable to make a single attack on the US terrority since 9/11. Even in Yemen AQ has been on a serious retreat. Remember AQ wanted the rest of the Islamic world to join forces against the US. Well that simply did not happen and today AQ is begging for money in their videos. Across the Islamic world extremists are in serious retreat like in Malasia where recently leaders of the local groups were arrested.
Oh yes that is exactly why the Taliban has grown in such strength that the idea of negotiating with them and bringing them to the table as a "diplomatic" party in afghanistan is still on the table. Quick google search in the media pertaining to this will do wonders.
Less than 100 AQ members, I'd love for you to back that figure up with a reputable article. The state department would disagree with your analysis.
@yeniceri1015 Mother Jones newsletter, Kevin Drum in a article written July 6, 2010. In this article the author states that there are about 50 to 100 AQ members in Afghanistan. Also the CIA estimates close to the same numbers according to Joseph Panetta. The Pakistani ISI also confirms the same numbers and they certainly are closer to the situation than others. George Friedman, a well know political reseacher of the Stratfor group, estimates less than 100 during an interview with "Russia Today".

As much as I wish your statement were true, facts on the ground show otherwise. Look around, Islamic extremists are spreading not collapsing.
