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.
