And yet in the 2014 census of Crimea 67% of the people have been russians. So if this is Ukraine, why should a region with 99% Armenians that has been in facto independent since a quick war 1991 after the fall of the ussr be part of Azerbaijan?
Our western international politics is hypocritical. My foreign minister wants to have moral bases politics. That’s why we have a lot of sanctions against Russia - makes sense. But then why do we choose to import more fossils from Azerbaijan instead and ignore their war crimes?
That is a very common tactic with Russia. Annex land, then forcibly remove the local population and move a bunch of Russians in. Then it becomes easier to claim the “new territory” as filled with Russians.
Again, I think the major distinction is the recognized borders of the territories. Artsakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, not Armenia.
Are you confusing something? The 2014 census showed a higher number of Ukrainians than the 2001 one, the Russian part of the population made up a higher percentage because the overall population shrank.
As for the recognition in artsakh: a lot of us states regoznised the territory. I know that the EU did not do it, but - as I have said before- they do not want to anger Azerbaijan as we get a lot of fossils from there. This is why it is hypocritical to ditch Russian gas in favor of Azerbaijan one.
