Thanks for the explanations...
This is "elle" but with my previous nick name, since I forgot my recent log in title....so I used the old one, which I thought I forgot about, but seems like I didn’t!
Anyways........I understand that legally we can claim back our lost territories. Thanks for the link...I can read Armenian and I will definitely check out that website. I'm still wondering if any of our politicians are doing anything on this matter? Are there any plans in the near future (let's say within 10 years) to bring this matter to the attention of the international community? Are there any active talks going on in Armenia about this? What are they waiting for now? The final settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh situation?
I really hope that the present administration in Armenia have considered this. As I understand, this isn't something that might be concentrated on in the near future right? Maybe I sound naive in saying this, but I hope that Kocharyan and the rest of his people do consider shedding light on Treaty of Sevres and territorial claims in front of others.
Another thing that crossed my mind and maybe you can enlighten me on this......I'm thinking that given the fact that Russia is seen so much antagonistic from its "satellite" countries.....isn't it in Russia's interest to have Armenia expanded? Let's face it...it's not like once we expand we will slide away from being another "satellite" country of Russia and there is a chance that Russia might feel threatened that the expansion of Armenia might pose a threat to itself. Whether Armenia expands or shrinks (god forbid!), it will always need Russia due to the fact that it's surrounded with hostile countries all around.
So...since Armenia is almost what is left of the Caucasus for Russia, why not have the Russian help in our territorial claims...indirectly of course?
Having Turkey with it's US military bases...almost under it's nose is sure not making the Russians happy! Another thing...by looking at the world map one thing I found interesting is how the US/EU/Jews have put Russia in check so to speak!
Consider this.......
Russia has been "surrounded" by the Western alliance (Jews in charge!) all around.
Central and Eastern European countries are part of the NATO now, they're also part of the EU, the only loyal "ally" that Russia has left in Eastern Europe is Belarus and Serbia in the Balkans!
Now going to Central Asia... after so called "9/11" US managed to occupy Afghanistan, it has close ties with Pakistan, and few other Central Asian countries also have US military bases in their territories if I remember correctly! So....some part of Central Asia has shifted to the US military control already!
Now the Caucasus region.......You all know the situation in Georgia and the NATO membership aspirations of the Georgians and the Azeris! The Western oil corporations are already deep rooted in Azerbaijan. The only ally that Russia has is Armenia in the Caucasus! I'm not counting South Ossetia and Abkhazia, since they're not sovereign countries. YET!
Seems like the NATO/EU/Jew/US have surrounded Russia to make sure that Russia won't be able to expand again like it did right before the Soviet Union! It's very interesting I think....Seems like this 'expansion" of 9/11 might deal with the fact that the West doesn't want to see Russia any bigger than what it is now, so it has surrounded it through different means. It's also interesting how the West is expanding through NATO and the EU, but they managed to keep Russia within it's borders, by making sure that no other Warsaw Pact might be the result of current independent Russia! No wonder why the Russian responded so harshly to the US plans of having missiles in the Czech Republic!

I think with what's happening in the world right now...a leader like Putin couldn't come at any better time for Russia! Although the Russians have an antagonistic attitude when it comes to the West, I can't say that you can blame them after the way the West is expanding towards the Russian borders whether it's through EU or NATO.
The reason why I mentioned Russia......since Armenia is one of the few countries that truly is an "ally" of Russia, then why not have Russian help in this....help in bringing forth the territorial claims? I really don't see a reason why Russia will not want to see a smaller Turkey and a bigger Armenia when it's Armenia that's the ally. After all, they recently moved the Georgian military base to Armenia...further expanding their military bases in our country. I would assume that it does show that Russia definitely has interest in Armenia...as one of the few post-Soviet countries that it's still hanging on to.
Another good move by Putin...going to Tehran amidst all the talks about the Iranian "threat!" I think the West is more of a threat to the Iranians with it's constant threat of attacks, than the Iranians themselves!
I think that the only way that Armenia should take back Naxichevan is if Azerbaijan makes the first move on us! That way we will point our finger at them for starting it first.
Another question I have that relates to Russia. Anything will change since Russia transferred it military base from Georgia to Armenia? Of course, that benefits us from any threat, but will these Russian bases play a significant role in a future Armenia-Azeri war? After all, I highly doubt that Russia will sit back and watch (in our own country!) how the Armenians and Azeris are fighting? I mean having all this military base in Armenia is not only there against the Turkish threats right?
Also, isn't there an agreement signed between both countries on supporting each other in times of war?
I think that Armenia can use itself in a beneficial way, if it chooses the right steps and avenues so to speak.
I think that the US attack on Iran is given...sometime this year maybe, unless Iran announces that it has a nuclear weapon already, but that won't be the case. I remember how the US stopped talking about N. Korea right after it announced that it has nuclear weapons! Funny!
