The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict

This is a conflict that could have global ramifications.  Turkey is siding  with Azerbaijan and making trouble by supplying mercenaries from Syria, the same as it did when stirring up trouble in Libya.   Our last Middle East blog featured Steve R.Pieczenik where he commented on the widely held view that Ataturk was Jewish. The Dönmeh (Turkish: Dönme, Ottoman Turkish: دونمه‎) were a group of Sabbatean crypto-Jews in the Ottoman Empire who converted publicly to Islam, but retained their beliefs in secret. The movement was centered in Thessaloniki.  That probably explains the Turkish genocide against the Armenian Christians. Nearly 1.5 million Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, during World War I.   Below are two rather good videos explaining the situation and some articles.

With the outbreak of the war between Azerbaijan and Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), Syriana Analysis addresses the main factors of the conflict and presents a historical background that is crucial in understanding the ongoing war.

The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is the never-ending forgotten war after the collapse of the Soviet Union. A warlike crisis has broken out over the disputed area of Nagorno-Karabakh. In episode 580 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta explains where the South Caucasus crisis stems from and the many factors fueling it.

When bad guys become good guys

When bad guys become good guys

Southfront is using a new technique to avoid censorship. It employs satire and humor and turns the “bad guys” (in this case ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorists) and their supporters (Turkey) into the “good guys”.  Southfront had an article explaining why they do this. That’s why they are still surviving in Facebook…For now!!! Veterans Today and Infowars etc chose the direct method and were banned everywhere from Facebook,Twitter, Youtube and so forth. SF is taking precautions knowing well that Uncle Sam is watching. Satire can survive a lot longer as News only for the smart ones! Enjoy what you have now because there is talk of banning these sites from Google altogether.  They begin one of their articles with the words…..“The PR department of the Turkish Defense Ministry dealt a crushing blow to forces of the Assad regime…”

Now watch the following video and remember this – Turkey has invaded Syrian territory and is helping the terrorists. Russia is present in Syria at the invitation of the Syrian government.  Neither Syria nor Iraq want the presence of the US (or the ISIS/al-Qaeda terrorists). 

 

Please Support SouthFront and other alternative media.  In the above video they mentioned the M5 motorway that was liberated by the Syrians.  Now have a look at the reaction of these Syrian men dancing beside a sign that says that music is forbidden (HARAM).  They are Syrians liberated from ISIS/al-Qaeda terrorists by the Syrian army. They would rather have Assad in charge then terrorist nutters supported by Turkey (and the West).

 

 Now read the article Syrians Give Warm Welcome To Erdogan Troops Attacking Saraqib. Now read the most recent article and watch the video Turkey Fights Back Against ‘Assad Aggression’ In Idlib (Remember to reverse the sentiments -Turkey is the aggressor)

 

 

 

Now read the following articles to get the full story:

Questions

What the heck is Turkey doing?   It seems that Turkey is playing both sides against the middle.  Turkey turned towards Russia after Erdogan was almost removed in a coup. Turkey dropped Saudi Arabia (the US and Israel’s ally) in the do-dah when it released the recordings of Jamal’s murder in the SA embassy.  Then Turkey invaded the northern part of Syria (against US wishes) in order to remove Kurds and protect ISIS.  Turkey is also involved in Libya and  stirring up trouble about  Mediterranean gas fields. Turkey and its (terrorist) allies are now being pushed out of Syria. This can (and has) led to direct confrontations with Russia (as well as the Syrian army). What Turkey is now doing benefits the US and Israel.  Where does that leave us?   It leaves us with the fact that Erdogan cannot be trusted at all. He plays both sides in the hope of becoming a regional power -the new Ottoman Empire.  Neither Russia nor the USA (and by extension Israel) will allow that to happen. Erdogan better pull in his Turkey neck, before someone chops of his head.
