Silence in most of western media on this story
- Reuters, AP, Fox, and PBS all did pieces on it tbf
  
  Now do the places where it wasn't even mentioned at all
- Armenia is a historical Russian ally
  
  Israel is our greatest ally?
  
  Remember USS Liberty folks?!
  
  Historical, yes. They have recently realized that Russia does not have their back and the relationship has changed.
  
  Russia is withdrawing troops from Armenia
  
  Armenia doesn't support the war in Ukraine
  
  Armenia had a war with Azerbaijan which was supplied with weapons by Belarus, which is closely integrated with Russia
  
  Study a little bit of the history of great power alliances and the group of "historically allied with Russia" becomes pretty large.
  
  Russia is siding with Azerbaijan currently because EU was replacing Russian gas with theirs
  
  Armenia isn’t impressed with their protector siding with the country killing them
Meanwhile, Turkey still does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, while playing pretend champion of human rights in the ICJ.
I first misread this as "America" and immediately clicked the link, I am disappointed.
Cool, I too recognize made up sates.
Armenia is shitting bricks since their entire geopolitical posture collapsed when Russia bailed on them.

Azeris might do a similar thing to them now. And jack shit anyone can do about it...

Shoulda never get into bed with Russia like that over a war of territorial conquest

Their "leaders" really done fucked up in 1990s and there is nothing that can be done now.
- Or they are also a country that has experienced genocide and also has countrymen facing religious persecution in Jerusalem just for being Christian on a daily basis
  
  Then why not recognize Palestine in early 1990s once they got their independence instead of you know ...
- Azeris might do a similar thing to them now
  
  Now? You mean like they've been trying on and off for a long ass time now?
  
  So much genocide out there nowadays... Gonna have to get inline on the victim hiarchy!
