Update on this terrible war that has raged on for a month now. 🙁 At last there is peace. Thank you for praying for Armenia and the Armenian people. Azerbaijan has seized a significant amount of territory. They had to stop after shooting down a Russian helicopter in Armrnian territory and killing two pilots. Russia would likely have entered the war and Azerbaijan would have been in big trouble. Russian peacekeepers are being deployed immediately. Apparently Turkish ones, as well. (Talk about the fox in the chicken co-op.) It's a bitter peace for Armenians as they have lost an area that they have lived in for thousands of years. Please continue to pray for them as there will be a tremendous spirit of bitterness at the loss in this war. Thousands are dead. Many people's homes are destroyed. Armenia is such a poor nation economically and this will just add to that burden. My heart is so grieved. 🙁 Azerbaijan is threatening Armenia again and claiming territory that would essentially wipe Armenia off the map. Exactly what Turkey and Azerbaijan want. This has been historically Armenian land for thousands of years. If Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked, there would literally be a second Armenian genocide. Today, on December 10, during a military event taking place in the capital of Azerbaijan, the president of that country announced that Zangezur, Lake Sevan, and Yerevan are historical lands of Azerbaijan. Following that, the president of Turkey glorified the organizers and perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide during the times of the Ottoman Empire and the mass atrocities against Armenians committed in Baku in September 1918. In addition to the aforementioned, the speeches of both Azerbaijani and Turkish presidents were full of hatred against the Armenian people, threatening the life and health of the whole population of Armenia, contained expressions of insults and instigating hatred. Now it appears that Azerbaijan and Turkey are trying to extort Armenia out of its southern territory. Armenia is very poor and does not have $50 billion dollars. This would create a contiguous border between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Frankly, this is outrageous greed and aggression. “Yesterday, Turkey’s TGRT Haber (TGRT News) showcased a map of Armenia & Azerbaijan with a large part of the territory of Armenia as Azerbaijan. The map included the headline: “Armenia has no money. Let it give Zangezur.” The TV host claims that Azerbaijan is demanding $50 billion in damages for the Armenians living in Artsakh. He asks, “Who’s going to pay?…Not even Kim Kardashian can pay that. The reporter continues saying that a since Armenia has no money, they can just give up Zangezur instead as a form of compensation. While only a report, it is no secret that Turkey and Azerbaijan are attempting to realize their Pan-Turkic goals in creating a Turkic confederation. Artsakh for them is only the first step. Today reports emerged that Azerbaijan is starting to inch towards Armenia proper attempting to seize as much land as possible. The region of Syunik could be the next target for the joint Turk-Azeri manifest destiny. Zangezur Mountains is the mountain range that defines the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan. “Turkish TGRT News TV channel has reported that Armenia must pay a $50 billion compensation to Azerbaijan, if not, then Syunik (Zangezur), must be annexed to Azerbaijan, said Yeghia Tashjian, a regional analyst and researcher on Twitter.” Heavenly Father, please confound the plans of the wicked and may their bows be broken and their swords shattered! May their greed and aggression be their undoing! :prayer-hands: Amen, amen! TR
so upsetting, please come soon Lord! :prayer-hands:
