In the history of mankind there are tragic events that no one has a moral right forget. One of these dramatic pages is the 1915 genocide of the Armenian people.

This tragedy brings people together, fills their hearts with grief and sorrow.

The Armenians who survived and found shelter in other countries and their descendants are more insistently demanding recognition of genocide, restoration of historical justice, compensation for moral damage and material damage.

The world should know about the atrocities committed by the government of the Young Turks in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey denies the fact of genocide, urging the world community to believe that it was a time of “common pain”. By falsifying historical facts, Turkey is trying to equate innocent victims with the Turkish military killed in the First World War.

These events should not be repeated. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that Turkey still has a direct interest in the potential aggravation of the conflict in Karabakh.



The attack on Karabakh in April 2016 was recognized by Ankara’s revenge for Russia’s support of the Kurdish political agenda.

The balance of military forces in the region was an important fact in the failure of foreign aggression against Armenia. The Karabakh armed forces are the best in the South Caucasus, its units have recently received combat experience in Syria during the liberation of Kessab from the Islamists. On top of that, Armenia is constantly striving to maintain its armed forces at the proper level, spending a substantial part of its budget on this.



However, after the April battles, it became clear to the Armenian society that Russia is the only guarantor of Armenia’s security. Despite the combat readiness of their own forces, Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic are not able to withstand the coordinated attack of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Possible plan of their offense is being often worked out during joint exercises.
