Is Nagorno-Karabakh Armenian or Azerbaijani land?

[SILNI]

You should watch that video I posted. It was Azerbaijani, before Armenians migrated there in the 19th century and later.

here:

The ancient population of the region consisted of various autochthonous local and migrant tribes who were mostly non-Indo-Europeans.[13] According to the prevailing western theory, these natives intermarried with Armenians who came to the region after its inclusion into Armenia in the 2nd or, possibly earlier, in 4th century BC.[14] Other scholars suggest that the Armenians settled in the region as early as in the 7th century BC.[15]

Yup because the armenians where deported from yerevan by the safavid rule. So its logical the azeri's where the majority than for a while. Then when the russians came into power armenians came back to yerevan. I think its still funny you think that Yerevan is historical azeri land. We had this conversation 3 times.

And I think its still funny that you repeat the same argument which I replied back several times.

The more numerous part of Armenians came from Ottoman Empire, not those that were supposedly "deported by Safavids".

Heritage of Caucasian Albania (like the so-called "Armenian churches" in Karabakh and many parts of Armenia itself), thank you.

lol its not about churches.It's about ancient armenian city that was built by armenian King Tigran the great.

You did not even watch the video.

It's something turks dont understand, We have suffered enough and seen how armenian ground is reduced little by little due to the turks.

I gave churches as an additional example. Churches, artifacts etc...there are many examples. This city is also the same, Albanian in reality, but made "Armenian".

I really don't understand Armenians. They keep holding on occupied territory that is not worth anything. No oil or something. Almost all borders are closest because of this. GDP per capita is 3000 dollar per year. Average Armenian lives in abject poverty, population is declining because of no hope in the future and immigration and still Armenia gives higher priority to land than their own people. The only thing Azerbaijan has to do is the waiting game. Eventually they will get it back. They already have much stronger army but time in on their side but sooner or later something will happen and Karabakh history will be set straight.

because they was never any significant minority in first place the least there is one now. It would be pure turkic colonialism to give it up.

You are wrong
It is not armenians from armenia which insist on this but mainly armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The same as serbs from kosovo will never accept muslim rule , and they will fight against it even more than me , a serb who is not from kosovo.

So? what does it matter, Being a majority doesnt mean you are the right owner of the land. What is important is that the armenians were deported by the safavids and then the azeris where the majority. end of deal. When the the safavid rule was broken the land was ginvin back to the armenians , doesnt matter if the armenians where the majority or not.

Demographics only changed during stalin's time and his demographic games. That doesn't justify anything.

The people can still live there but the territory remains to tHIS day Azeri land and everybody sees Karabakh as occupied land by international LAW.

When Karabakh issue gets resolved. The people can stay if they want, but the Azeri that were driven out will move back in.
