Russian 102nd Military Base in Armenia

[@jamesraphael8075]

Nice video nice to see modern history of Armenia that's not globalized. Keep the work up!!!

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you very much, will do!

[@oganovdavid]

Glad to see a new video from you! Cheers!

[@AkravHistory]

Glad to have you around to watch it, cheers to you!

Always informational and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all you do 🙏

[@AkravHistory]

It's a pleasure, thanks for watching!

Armenian here, I loved this video. The vibe just hits different in a good way. Thanks for bringing this topic out to the light.

[@AkravHistory]

It's a pleasure, thank you so much, it means a lot!

[@yiayiosmalakas9076]

Never knew that Russians did such atrocities

[@AkravHistory]

I was shocked when I first read it myself

[@cardsofkoi]

Amazing video! Loved the editing!

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks so much!!

[@GiorgioRMN]

If Armenians have so called Russians as"allies" they don't have to fear Azeris and Turks . Thanks 🙏 for your good work. //Offtopic//...to change the mood in a positive direction, near this Russian Base is one of Armenias best Fish Restaurants Cerkezi Tzor 🐟.

[@AkravHistory]

Amen. Thank you so much! I actually noticed the restaurant during my research, it looked good. Have to check it out on my next visit, but now I'm semi-seriously worried about getting near that base, hehe!

The edition, history and music were AWESOME. I like how this channel is getting better!

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you so much, really glad you're enjoying it!

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

This is why i am happy Armenia is ending its relationship with Russia, but i dont view the West as any better. To me, the Russians and the West are all the same!

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks, I agree with the first part!

[@armen4ok280]

I agree, we’re kinda stuck as it doesnt matter which “ally” we choose, they will betray us either way

[@ArthurSimonian]

Great video, I like how you've changed the style and editing of the video to match a more dark atmosphere. Very gruesome stories. Well done!!

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I thought the pixel art would be a bit too playful for something like this. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@karinegregorian937]

Russia, get out of Armenia!

[@AkravHistory]

🤞

[@AnatolianArmenian]

Wow so we’ve never really been an independent country we’ve always been occupied even after the ussr ended

[@AkravHistory]

That's right, sadly. But we're working on it,

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

Yes. Step 1 is to leave russia, however moving towards the West is another detriment option for Armenia. The West is exactly like Russia, just a different geopolitical identity. Armenia should make region allies, and allies somewhat nearby, like the Iranians and Indians

[@AkravHistory]

@juangabrielmg2467 except they invaded without the Russians leaving.

[@eriksargis1998]

Nice vid

[@AkravHistory]

Cheers!

[@Artyom05-z1h]

Some azeri said that armenians are phrygians who colonised anatolia lol

[@AkravHistory]

You should see the comments I get on the prehistory videos. Pure comedy.

[@Artyom05-z1h]

@@AkravHistory azeriz are braindead bro they call us colonisers and they claim that they were here before the armenians

[@blackleaf600blackleaf60-m]

That claim has been debunked by a number of linguists that have rejected a close relationship between Armenian and Phrygian, despite saying that the two languages do share some features. Armenian and non-Armenian linguists. Phrygian is now classified as a centum language more closely related to Greek than Armenian, whereas Armenian is mostly satem Recent research suggests that there is lack of archaeological and genetic evidence for a group from the Balkans entering eastern Asia Minor or the Armenian Highlands during or after the Bronze Age Collapse (as was suggested by Diakonoff). Some scholars have suggested that the Mushki (whether they were speakers of Armenian or another language) originated in the Caucasus region and moved westward. Dont listen to anyone of what they are saying.

glad they left the base russia is a horrible ally ,the shift to the west will be great for the country

0:04 Wrоng map. Actually Russian 102nd Military Base is located further south in historical "Alexandropol fortress" (wich was built on the site in 1837).

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks for the feedback! It seems like they have multiple compounds around Gyumri. I found the one you're referring to as well now. latitude.to/articles-by-country/am/armenia/29626/russian-102nd-military-base

[@AlexIsoyan]

@@AkravHistory There are 8 or more Russian bases in Gyumri. But the main bаsе is in historical fortress.

Wow you have done a big video...I don't like Pashinyan but I dislike Putin even more.....

[@AkravHistory]

It would be pretty shocking if somebody liked Putin more than Pashinyan :D

@@m_r_menian Hah. I want you to prove your point

[@blackleaf600blackleaf60-m]

Akrav Akrav i have an idea for you. Can you make a video on Sari Gellin Sari aghjik who owns the song. And make sure to put every source that Sari Aghjik is Armenian and dont forget to put an old source that claims that this is the first song by Sari gellin sang by an Armenian in 1966 for example. Will u take my idea?

[@AkravHistory]

I have no idea what that is but I will look it up!

[@Trdat]

Well, its not a coincidence that the Avedissyan murders occured directly after Serg Sarksyan denied Russia larger tracts of territory for the 102nd Military base and for an enlargement of the general dominion of Russian troops in and around Gyumri.

[@AkravHistory]

I don't know man. The guy was deranged and they knew about his mental state and still transferred him from Siberia to Gyumri.

[@Trdat]

I know its hard, we shouldn't be believing in conspiracy theories, only facts. However, this is to fishy for it to be a mental issue. @@AkravHistory

[@flappley]

Well jesus Akrav this is a sad one. Is this true for a lot of other Russian military bases? Why so ruthless?

[@AkravHistory]

Sorry to be a downer today, I thought it was important to shed some light on the base that's there to "protect us".

[@ArmenKhlghatyan]

Flappley what's up?

[@flappley]

@@AkravHistory I'm glad u took a deep dive into this though, no matter how sad everyone should hear about this

How can they let him free after causing that event. Do the lives of Armenians not count? No they do, and so does the lives of every single human on this planet.

Unfortunately, I think it's gonna be a process. Airport guards already announced a date of departure. Let's see...

[@Xardas131]

@@AkravHistory Yes, at least. Do you think most Armenians are understanding now that there is no help from Russia and that they need to find new allies?

Akrav why are you speaking so softly in this video? It is quite annoying.

I'm sorry to hear that! I suppose it's party to be respectful towards the victims and not sound overly "KZbinr"-y. It's not for every video, appreciate your feedback!

​@@AkravHistoryyour speech tone sounds fine, but it is less clear than your regular voice. I use headphones, but maybe someone on speakers might have a harder time hearing it clearly. This is feedback, not calling the different tone a bad decision.

Who is to really blame? The government of Armenia are in charge to protect Armenia. At least the Fedayees protected and implemented justice to all those who harms Armenians. Nice informative video but this shows that the government of Armenia failed many times over since 1990.
