Christ, the situation in Armenia / Azerbaijan
I was just there with the girls in March, scary thinking about it. The situation with Azerbaijan has never been good, but this is the first real fighting I remember since I was really little. I'm really glad none of my family is near the Tavush.
And God, I hate hate HATE the insane anti-Turkish feelings in Armenia, but seriously, fuck you Tayyip Erdoğan, you're making it worse. It JUST fucking happened, and it's impossible to know whether Armenia or Azerbaijan is to blame, but using common sense: BOTH. BOTH COUNTRIES ARE TO BLAME. They're saying we did it, we're saying they did it; OH MY GOD, with the fucking talk about martyrs and shit, it's war not religion. Everyone on the Tavush on both sides is ready to kill everyone else, Armenian or Azerbaijani, there's so much anger and paranoia there, it's impossible for either side to have acted without provocation. So I hate everyone basically. Everyone is terrible and no one is a martyr.
Sorry for the pointless angry ramble. I can't even today. This hasn't been a thing since the 90s and now it's pretty much definitely going to be a thing again, and I'm anticipating with horror dealing with my family in Armenia AGAIN starting in with the bullshit about how horrible I am for marrying a Muslim and I just really really really am dreading everything right now.
