Armenia and Azerbaijan
“a decades-old conflict between majority Christian Armenia and mainly Muslim Azerbaijan, with Russia calling for an immediate ceasefire and another regional power, Turkey, saying it would support Azerbaijan.”
#Putin and #Erdogan, not #Russia and #Turkey:
“Mr. Erdogan, promising support for traditional ally Azerbaijan, said Armenia was “the biggest threat to peace in the region”
which confirms the end of Ataturk’s secular policy; Erdogan fights to keep his autocratic rule choosing religious fundamentalists as the most loyal from his shrinking base of supporters, no different than Trump.
Erdogan counts on people’s short memory, since the 90s conflict on the Balkan clearly showed that there are no innocent Muslims as they were no innocent Christians for his #propaganda
While dictators and politicians follow their own agenda, innocent people will die.
#patriotism is NOT #nationalism, LESS #chauvinism
