There isn't a war anyway, despite the name of this thread. It's only a ramp up in tensions, some artillery being shot back and forth, some skirmishes. Hopefully cooler heads prevail in the end and things go back to normal, as strained as they are.

[QUOTE=Sinbues;43665597]wow man you seem really snippy today[/QUOTE] Its just embarrassing that all it takes is a few pictures of an old military parade, a nondescript video of a live firing exercise, and a government talk from 2011 to convince facepunch that full blow war has broken out between two states.

Very helpful OP. Keep us updated on the Pakistan-India border skirmishes as well please.

One of those summoned, Rovshan Nasirli, said that he was told by his interrogators that they had the names and addresses of all 43 Azerbaijanis who had voted for Armenia.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Vilusia;43665707]Except it's from last night not a couple years ago.[/QUOTE] got anything more than an upload date to verify it?
Nope
[QUOTE=Vilusia;43665749]Nope[/QUOTE] Well then I'm sorry for not automatically assuming everything someone tells me on the internet is correct for the sake of knee-jerk sensationalism and bleeding heart ratings.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;43665484]Got anything official on this?[/QUOTE] You mean the ceasefire? There's[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia%E2%80%93Azerbaijan_relations#Soviet_period_.281922.E2.80.9391.29"] this [/URL]but it doesn't have sources so I don't know. [editline]25th January 2014[/editline] Also if you're gonna argue you at least could make it not look like shitposting.

Well, even if there isn't actually a war going on, at least now I know about a big conflict in that area.
the IOC should consider postponing the games on account of Ukraine burning, Russia swimming in terrorists, and now this... course that would really piss Russia off [editline]25th January 2014[/editline] but the whole region is filled with boarder clashes so this isn't really new
i have a friend in armenia, i hope he doesn't get drafted or anything. even if it's just a skirmish, i hear the armenian military is really really tough
WW3 calling it now :v:
OP I noticed you just copy and pasted this thread from the same thread from /k/ last night. Too bad you couldn't take the time to read 20 posts into the thread and find that its all bullshit, there are zero news sources except for one day old article on a azeri site(which you linked), and there is no "war". Just the usual border tensions.
the concept of "historic territory" is possibly the dumbest thing ever tbh, no matter who it is. causes so much bullshit.

If conquest is used you'd also gain an agressive expansion malus with the surrounding countries, which will form a coalition against you.
