Tragicomic situation of Armenia about occupied region of Karabakh

[Onur]

This is so funny but yet a tragic event which describes the desperate and laughable situation of Armenia;

Just a week ago, Armenian state established diplomatic relations with a country called Tuvalu. I didn't even know where this country is but it looks like Tuvalu is a Polynesian island located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia.

Apparently, this joke state of Tuvalu took about 3 million dollars from Russia last year, in exchange of recognizing Russian occupied Georgian territories of Abkhazia&South Ossetia as an independent country.

And now, a week later of establishing Armenia-Tuvalu diplomatic relations, Tuvalu will recognize Armenian occupied (with Russia`s support) Azerbaijani territory of Karabakh.

From Armenian web sites;

Armenia, Tuvalu establish diplomatic ties
On March 16, Permanent representatives of Armenia and Tuvalu to UN Karen Nazaryan and Afelee F. Pita signed a joint statement on establishment of diplomatic relations at United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

Following the signing ceremony, a decision was taken to develop bilateral relations and foster deepening of cooperation in the framework of the UN and other organizations, RA MFA press service reported.

Tuvalu is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. Tuvalu became fully independent within the Commonwealth on October 1, 1978. On September 5, 2000, it became the 189th member of the United Nations.

Tuvalu to recognize NKR independence?
"Armenia has established diplomatic relations with the state of Tuvalu of the Pacific Ocean in order to reach international recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," writes the Hurriyet.

We remind that on March 16, UN Permanent Representatives of Armenia and Tuvalu Karen Nazaryan and Falema Pitan signed a Joint Declaration on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Republic of Armenia and Tuvalu.

According to the author of the article, Armenia, on the one hand, is taking steps to include Armenian Genocide recognition on the political agenda of several countries ahead of April 24th, and on the other hand, to reach international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh. The author of the article writes that Ankara is "closely following up on the strengthening of relations between Armenia and Tuvalu" because last year, Tuvalu recognized the independence of the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in exchange for Russia's $3.4 million.

"To not hurt relations with the West, Armenia, which itself doesn't recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, can follow Russia's example and offer money to the Pacific Ocean state; otherwise, what is the meaning of establishing relations with a country that is located at a 15,000 kilometer distance from Yerevan?" notes the author of the article. According to the author, what's also interesting is the fact that a day after that, on March 17, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan left for Georgia "to clarify the situation with his Georgian counterpart".

The author also doesn't exclude that Russia is aware of this step. Russia is "discontent with NATO placing anti-missile systems in the territory of Turkey and Ankara's position on Syria".

But where is the recognition of the so-called "Armenian genocide"? Tuvalu government asked for 3 million dollars more for recognizing the genocide and Armenian state don't have enough money to convince these Aborigines?

I can't help but chuckle about the cheeky sods. It's not a matter of principle for them at all. It's a matter of money and they would probably sell whatever principles they might have for 3 million dollars. The Turks should play this game too: and give Tuvalu 5 million to break relations with Armenia and not recognise the Armenian Genocide therefore forcing Armenia to make a better offer.

That would be the way for Tuvalu to get rich. Politics and diplomatic relations: politicians would even sell their own mothers lol.

No one is going to recognise NKR now since there are negotiations going on. Even Armenia doesn't recognise for this reason. However, recognition will come if NKR is attacked by Azerbaijan or through successful negotiation process.

So Onur what you think of Northern Cyprus?

What is tragicomic is that there is a post in NEWS, which starts with personal opinion, and a personalized title.

Tuvalu is pathetic, but Armenia probably thought they should recognise it by principle instead of having to be bribed.

Yeah, lets's just rewrite the wrongs of history with money...

Tuvalu and many of the Pacific Island states are ridiculously hopeless. They should federate into larger nations - Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.
Tuvalu, Kiribati and Nauru are perhaps the worst countries in the region.

They'd probably have done better to stay under British / Australian or New Zealand protection. If the Cook Islands run out of money New Zealand just gives them some more.
The islands of the Pacific aren't suitable for European civilisation which they keep trying to emulate (like Africa). They need to become self-supporting in food and import technology to generate renewable energy and capture rainwater.

Soviet and Russian armies actually helped Azeris at the initial stage of the Karabakh conflict. Loss of that war by Azerbaidjan has little to do with Russia.
Once again Onur is just engaging in lame panturkist propaganda.

Since Turkey is the best nation in the world and you idolize Turks so much, would you accept Turkey into the EU? Why not give citizenship to the many Turks in Netherlands for that matter? Finally, please google Sibel Edmonds. You may learn something.

Wrong. I don't care for neither. I just pointed out that it was all a money game and there are no principles involved. Armenia is using money to bribe people so others should do the same. Maybe it will teach them a lesson.

Are you serious? Again, google Sibel Edmonds. You keep talking out of your ass. It is the exact opposite. You have everyone being bribed by Turkey and Azerbaijan. Just this past summer Azerbaijan was caught bribing boxing officials.

Who cares about a whistle-blower that just wants some attention ?
