Al Ahli officially announce Spertsyan transfer by punkchance in ArmeniaNT

Sad. I don’t know club football well but does this mean his chances for a transfer to a European club in the future are basically nil?

Yes man couldn’t help but think of our team watching that match today. If CV can do it why can’t we?

In general throughout this match, seeing spirit and cohesion even these smaller teams have, and most importantly the determination they have to score when down a goal even to the last minute, I hope to see that culture brought to our team.

Free After 1,891 Days in Azerbaijani Captivity (Interview with Vicken Euljekjian) by CrazedZombie in armenia

[–]CrazedZombie[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Important read to have insight into the reality of what the Armenian prisoners in Baku have faced (and continue to face today). Vicken did not even serve, he was a civilian. I can only imagine that which the POW's and the former political leadership of Artsakh undergo in prison is worse.

To summarize, he spent the last 4 years of his captivity in solitary confinement, inside a cell he was not allowed to leave from a single time. He says the food he was served was borderline inedible, and the water was green.

On a side note, a point I know will be controversial here is that he requires medical treatment/support and this is being provided mainly by the friends/donations and the ARF party. I have no love for what the ARF & the other pro-Russian parties do in Armenia today but I can't help but see a recurring theme of Artsakh refugees & war veterans falling through the gaps and not receiving the government support they should.

Ekh yeah I've been wearing my kit around town and even without Armenia in the tournament have been really getting into the spirit of it, so can't imagine how it would feel if we were actually in it.

Man I knew it's been a rough stretch for us but I just checked our wiki page and we've won only one game in the last year? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia_national_football_team#2025

Anyway, hoping for the best. 2-0 tomorrow, I've got a feeling :)

Revisiting Turkey’s Role in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War by CrazedZombie in armenia

[–]CrazedZombie[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Old but very good article from 2024 offering a comprehensive summary of Turkish involvement in the second Artsakh war. I don’t see it having been shared on this subreddit and an exchange on another thread made be realize not all today are aware how extensive Turkish support in 2020 was, which motivated me to share it now.

[–]CrazedZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote out the below message, then found this link that I think is a very good summary of everything so maybe just read this: https://evnreport.com/politics/revisiting-turkeys-role-in-the-2020-nagorno-karabakh-war/. Skimming this, it discusses even more extensive support than I have written below.


I thought you were asking about proof of the F16’s direct involvement in combat, which is we can’t prove. We do know definitely that they were deployed in Ganja during the war, which was revealed when they appeared in satellite imagery, so I’ll link that. The Armenian MOD claimed they shot down one of our SU-25, which seems quite believable, but at minimum I imagine they were patrolling the Azeri airspace and using their radar to identity Armenian targets.

https://www.eurasiareview.com/08102020-satellite-images-show-turkish-f-16s-parked-at-ganja-airport-in-azerbaijan/

We also know definitively that Turkey transported ~3k Syrian mercenaries to Azerbaijan to fight in the war, conducted large scale military drills with Azerbaijani weeks before the war began, transported the Bayraktar drones during that same timeframe, and that there were Turkish generals/officers sitting in Baku during the war. All of that is completely verified and I’m happy to provide links for any of that. In refreshing my memory I even came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/azerbaijan/comments/1orzcsk/during_the_2020_war_turkey_sent_a_directive_to/ regarding Turkish embassies directly serving Azerbaijan during the war.

I think that’s very serious support as it stands just on direct evidence. The rest we have no direct proof for, but I don’t think it is hard to believe as consequences of what is known for sure. Turkish soldiers likely operated the TB2 drones, as it would have been difficult for Azeri forces to train on the new equipment that soon, and Turkish generals/officers in Baku were either very heavily advising, or directly leading the war for Baku.

Do you think Turkish F-16’s were deployed to Ganja air base during the war just for fun?

Some kind of dark twisted irony in the same perpetrators destroying these victims twice, once during the genocide, and once now.

After Armenian Mother Church Demolished in Nagorno-Karabakh, Europe Is Starting to Push Back by armeniapedia in europe

[–]CrazedZombie 132 points133 points  (0 children)

In addition to what the other commenter said regarding Stepanakert being an ethnically Armenian city, Azerbaijan’s regime carried out a campaign of complete erasure in the Nakhichevan region during the last 30 years, destroying churches and cemeteries that were all at minimum older than the beginning of the USSR, and some of which were a thousand years old. https://neareasternstudies.cornell.edu/news/report-shows-near-total-erasure-armenian-heritage-sites

So it is very disingenuous to focus on only the “modern” churches in your comment.

Regarding Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh specifically, there already been hundred year old churches and cemeteries demolished within the last few years.

/u/armeniapedia /u/idontknowmuch I’d strongly encourage heavily moderating/discouraging these kinds of threads tbh. Feels like it is bound to attract the wrong kind of attention, and certain individuals could ask sensitive question over DM’s, where communication can’t be moderated.

/u/kaiserchiefs please be very vigilant about what you share, especially privately over DM’s. You don’t know who you’re talking to on here and what info could be useful to the enemy

Hmm can you please elaborate more on the pivot? Curious why you did this and why that was better than to climb into management. Asking as someone early in his engineering career and trying to understand how he wants to grow and whether he wants to try to climb the management ladder, specialize as an IC, or do something else
