Hasn't it been about 100 years since the last genocide? That seems to be about the cycle over there....

What sparked the latest violence was not clear,
No, it's clear. Armed Azerbaijanis crossed the border.
Turkish pro-government media have been quick to accuse Moscow of encouraging Armenia to attack Azerbaijan, albeit without substantiating the allegation.
Show me the Armenians who have invaded Azerbaijan.
The Azeri-Turkish partnership could deepen further as a new opportunity arises in 2021, when a major gas deal between Turkey and Russia is up for renewal.
*The 25-year-old deal has obliged Turkey to buy a set amount of Russian gas annually, ensuring Russia's dominance of the Turkish energy market. *That's closer, I think.

I know someone well who’s great great grandparents were taken to a church in Gaziantep, locked in and burned alive. No question from that person’s perspective of a Turkey-Russia proxy war but also the painful genocide memories.
It all gets very complicated very quickly of course, imagine Russia being your benefactor.

My FIL is Armenian. His dad wrote a book about the genocide, which the family somehow lived through. It's interesting stuff, especially from the American policy perspective. It's weird we just never acknowledged that it happened until W of all people. Horrifying history on their end, strange on ours.
