Armenia has many green regions. You were simply not in the correct region. The region where the capital city Yerevan is located is rather dry and rocky. But any 45 minute drive towards the right direction can take you to areas which are as green as Switzerland.

Karabakh is not "disputed territory," as you deliberately misrepresented it. Karabakh has been under illegal - says UN - armenian occupation since 1991. Now Azerbaijan is getting its land back. The same way Ukraine is recovering its land from illegal russian occupation.

You are right. It’s not disputed. It’s pure Armenian land. What is occupied by illegal Azerbaijani aggression will be liberated again. It’s a matter of time. Bad news for you. You will run out of oil in 15 years. We will meet again. Believe me, this time we will really give you a khojaly.

raffi art It is good that you wrote about Khojaly. Which 30 years ago in the middle of the civilized world, Armenians killed unarmed Azerbaijanis (predominantly women and children) with torture (skinning them alive, gouging out their eyes with a spoon, pulling out their nails). And in 2022, in the same civilized world, the same Armenians threaten the same Azerbaijanis to do this again.

The history of animosity between Turkey and Armenia is legendary (and not in a good way) Right after WWI, Turkey tried to destroy Armenia, and committed genocide against the Armenians. The world ignored it. Oh wait, one person didn't. In fashioning the Holocaust, a certain German dictator noted he could get away with exterminating the Jews because, "No one did anything when Turkey killed the Armenians." See "40 Days of Musa Deigh."

[@Osigot]

I see that a number of pro-military bots and activists have appeared here. Therefore, for those who have never heard of this conflict, I will point out the common false claims that they (these activists) spread: *1. "The UN resolution says that Armenia is the aggressor and occupied Karabakh" - fake.* Nothing of the kind is written in the said resolution. The content of the resolution is something like this: "please, both of you, do not quarrel and live together, do not violate internationally recognized borders" (in fact, the UN simply stepped back from the conflict, not wanting to sort it out). But I think none of these activists have ever read the resolution itself (it's easier to believe the words of Azerbaijani propaganda). *2. "Karabakh illegally declared independence" - fake.* If we forget about the right of nations to self-determination, then in any case, secession from the USSR was carried out in full accordance with the law of 1991 (allowing all republics and autonomies to secede from the USSR). Also, speaking about the independence of Azerbaijan: the same law states that the republics leave the USSR in the form in which they got there, and Azerbaijan joined the USSR without Karabakh, which means it should leave without it. *3. "Armenians were settled in Karabakh in Soviet times" - obvious fake.* It will be enough to study the history of the region (not the one written by dictatorial propaganda, with real scientific articles by world scientists). *4. "Several million Azerbaijanis lived in Karabakh, who had to flee" - another fake.* There are statistics (censuses) of the Soviet period, this territory was historically populated mainly by Armenians, there were very few Azerbaijanis there (a couple of percent). Actually, for the same reason, during the referendum on secession from the Soviet Union, the majority voted in favor. This information can be verified by googling official documents and sources (actually, as I did). I understand that the author of the channel may not be interested in this, but this comment is in case someone is interested.
