    STRATEGYPAGE: AZERBAIJANIS ARE GREATER IN THERE NUMBER AND BAKU HAS MORE MONEY, BUT ARMENIANS ARE BETTER FIGHTERS

    14:38 11/07/2013 " SOCIETY

    Between 1991 and 1994, there was a nasty war between the two countries
    over Nagorno-Karabakh, which Armenia won. Over a million people
    became refugees 400,000 Armenians in that number. The situation was
    humiliating for Azerbaijan, who saw it as yet another example of more
    powerful and wealthier (via oil fields) Moslems being defeated by a
    smaller number of armed and more capable non-Moslems, the portal on
    military news StrategyPage reports.

    The article says that some 20,000 people died. The portal notes
    that over 400,000 Armenians fled their homes. There has been a truce
    between Armenia and Azerbaijan since 1994. But it has been a hot truce.

    "The situation was humiliating for Azerbaijan, who saw it as yet
    another example of more powerful and wealthier (via oil fields)
    Moslems being defeated by a smaller number of armed and more capable
    non-Moslems," the article says.

    Although Azerbaijan has three times more people and much more money
    because of oil, the Armenians are better soldiers and the dispute
    has been stalemated.

    "Azerbaijan has a population of nine million and a GPD of $72 billion,
    compared to 3.2 million Armenians who have a GDP of $10 billion.

    Azerbaijan is determined to reverse this string of defeats, no matter
    the cost. But the Azeris are not stupid and have to deal with the
    fact that the Armenians are still better fighters and have Russia as
    an ally," the article says.

    The article also notes that two years ago Armenia signed a pact with
    Russia that, in effect, puts it under the protection of Russia. The
    deal extends the lease on a Russian military base in Armenia from
    2020 to 2044.

    "In the last few years Azerbaijan has purchased over $5 billion worth
    of new weapons from Israel and Russia. Officially, all of this is
    for potential use against Armenia. But the billions spent on naval
    and air defense weapons seem more suited for defense against Iran,"
    the article reads.
