India Sells Rockets and Missiles to Armenia

Tweet

Everybody's attention is riveted to Ukraine but there is another hotspot in Central Asia and that is the cauldron created by Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Armenia was for tens of years, a part of the Ottoman empire and they treated the Christians of Armenia in a despicable manner. It is also reported that a massacre or genocide of the Christians in Armenia took place and the Vatican has confirmed and condemned it, including the USA. An estimated 1 million were killed, but figures were never verified. Azerbaijan is a Muslim country that is part of the Soviet Union along with Armenia and is its enemy. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently fought two wars and Turkey is an ally of Azerbaijan. Turkish President Erdogan is also highly critical of India and has been raising the Kashmir issue on behalf of Pakistan in the United Nations. There was going to be a reaction to all this, as India is no longer having a supine leadership. The Indian government under Modi has now supplied arms and missiles to Armenia as part of its geopolitical role. Thousands of Indian tourists are also going to Armenia for a holiday, which is a lovely place. I visited Armenia and realized what a wonderful and tranquil place it is. It is a pity that it is being dragged into a game of power politics by its two Muslim neighbors Turkey and Azerbaijan.
