I agree it is not fair to make accusations at this point. The world is a complex place. I don't think any regular person who sees the reality will support starting war.

I think another interesting dilemma is that the Armenian diaspora is living in large numbers in two world powers. I feel like they can get more powerful economically and politically than the regular Armenian folks living in Armenia. Thus there is a foreign(?) influence in their democracy. (I'm not an expert...)

Lastly, maybe I'm optimistic, but I think there is an opportunity for peace in the region. I support recent forward-thinking and peaceful messages from Turkey and Azerbaijan. As a Turk, I want to see peace, friendship, and economy flourish between the nations. This will only give more options and prosperity to all of us who live here, and take options from others.

Definitely. Unfortunately that meant that an ethnic Armenian became head of RT, Russian's premier state propaganda vehicle, who is currently supporting the war on Ukraine.
