The War Diary is a road movie through four countries: Armenia, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine. It confronts the traumatic history of the Second World War and the situation today in these former Soviet republics. Check it out here 👉 ruclips.net/video/9u1efQVT5P4/видео.html
The Turkish savages have expatriated millions of innocent indegenous people from their ancestral lands. By committing genocides, attrocities and torturing forcing them to convert into islam. Out of the millions of Christians today, there is only a handful of them left.
why not you make documentary muslims genocide in iraq by westerns? we knew it. you will never expose guilty about your father. why not you make documentary about india muslims. because, indian and you are same. you have no difference. you are a hypocrisy media.
@@MainMan7012 , Armenians claims to the territories of neighboring countries have no religious component. They claim to the territories of christian Georgia relying on muslim Iran.
The Russians are never there to protect the Armenians. They are simply there to try gamble whatever’s left of Armenia for their own interests. That’s what they have always done. Thank you, ARTE.
Western propaganda! Russia and Iran have been protecting Armenia's Southern border for many years. Russia has also been standing at 3 million Armenian border with 85 million Turkey for 34 years.
@@adorno_gang37- That is not true what he is saying. Russians were protecting Artsakh, Karabagh, since the independence of Armenia. It was Armenia that asked Russians leave Artsakh. EU promised them bed of Roses and Pashinyan took them to last war with Azerbaijan. EU sat a nd watched for the duration of war. Armenia lost a whole generation of young men. They won't have children, they won't have grandchildren, they won't have great-grand children, a kind of hidden genocide. Russia and Iran were protecting Armenia's southern border for many years, Azerbaijan wants to take over that border. Russian soldiers have been at 3 million Armenian border with 85 million Turkey for 34 years. Unfortunately, be ause of Western propaganda, some Armenians do not even know who is protecting their borders. Meanwhile Pashinyan was/is running them to join EU, enemies of Iran and Russia. Some do not want to be with Russia when they are happy, but they expect Russia to run and help them when they are in trouble, they want to eat their cake and have it. Russia has become their scapegoat. Why they are not talking about EU betraying them? 3-4 months after the war some EU member countries went and celebrated Pres Erdogan for recapturing their historic lands - Azerbaijan celebrated its 104th Anniversary in May 2022. It. Was, the land, part of Persian Empire till 1828. They last a war to Russia and surrendered the land to Russia. Later Joseph Stalin made it a country in 1930s.
100 years since the Armenian genocide and still the governments of Turkey and Azerbaijan demand more from Armenia, while they wipe out and neglect any traces of Armenian culture and history within their own borders. The lengths people will go to hurt others for their own benefit, because of their own greed or pride, is sad
Armenians were brutally deported it wasn't a genocide. Genocide was done on Turks by the Armenians whenever Russians invaded the Ottoman Empire. Read it by Pushkin's memoirs, or Armenia's first president Kaçaznuni. Christian West thinks that it's OK if it's the Muslims who are killed. Xenophobia and racism is in your bones. If you want to see genocide, go to Hodjali. Try to study history without a Turkish butthurt.
Armenia should recognize the killings of muslims by armenian gangs first. The armenian gangs backed by the russian empire started this whole thing by killing muslims in anatolia to fullfil their dreams of great armenia supported by the russian empire to destabilize the ottoman empire.

Really? Who attacked Azerbaijan, kept 20% of its lands under occupation before 2020 while not complying with the four UN resolutions, displaced one million people, conducted massacres (just like Khojaly, Malibeyli, Mesheli, etc.) of innocent civilians, left tens of thousands of mines, and vandalized mosques and cemetries?
They tried to leave legally. They voted multiple times to join Armenia during the Soviet Union. They wanted self-determination and independence. By the time the war started there were mobs targeting attacking and killing Armenians in the cities of Azerbaijan. If Armenia didn’t go into Nagorno-Karabakh they would’ve been massacred there too
Turkey excavating Ani, Armenia's old capital, is a crime against humanity under UN Declaration on Universal Human Rights and UN Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Armenians are indigenous to the region. Armenia has a right to their cultural heritage sites. It should be in Armenia. Turkey committed genocide against Armenians on that same land and stole it through settler colonialism -Turks only arrived in the 1200s from far east. This is like the British Museum stealing other nation's heritage for display.
I am from kars .ı very well know that armaniens first started to kill Turks and by puttig fear in their minds and hearts thus forcing them to to be expelled.

Irredentism will destroy Armenia. Armenians should be thankful for the lands they have today. Irredentism means you like to see a war. A war that nobody can afford against Turkey. Don't be a fool.
You can wipe out the name, wipe out our history but you will not able to wipe the name off the map. You will never enjoy that land that never belonged to you.
12:30 - The Karabakh region is 90% Armenian in population, so it should be part of Armenia by rights, and taking Armenians over means there should be no corridor. "NOrmalization" cannot take place while Armenian culture and people are being erased on both sides.
False, Arenians are outsiders to all of Caucasia, including Karabag, Revan and entire Armenia of today. Revan Khanate is a Turk state in todays Yerevan beginning 19th century. Russian collected Armenians from Iran and Türkiye by ethnic cleansing Turks.
Karabakh is %90 Armenian because they have ethnically cleansed all the 500.000 Azerbaijanis (which made majority of the region) from the region in first Karabakh war, it is exactly the same situation with kicking someone out of somewhere and declaring yourself the majority.
@@ayhankaracaoglu6845 You need to stop smoking potent Turkish hashish. It is rotting your brain. Forget who says what. Check out Encyclopedia Britanica and see what belongs to whom! If you consider yourselves Turkish then you are from Central Asia. If you consider yourselves Turkish converts from the Caucasus then you can only be from the Caspian coast and not from Iran-Armenia border region. The history of the region was written long before artificial Azerbaijan was invented by Lenin and Stalin 106 years ago in 1918 on occupied Armenian and Persian lands!
Karabakh is an entirely different issue. Only recently lived, 90% of the people were Armenian. If you look at the territory's history however, you can easily see that Armenians are not indigenous to Karabakh. That's because a lot of people from different ethnicities lived and built their own cultural structures on it, as they lived on it. Persians, Mongols, Albanians, Turks, all lived on that land, everybody can claim that they belong that land.
@@ayhankaracaoglu6845 That's hilarious coming from someone whose ancestors are from Central Asia! All Turkic people are native to Central Asia and nowhere else. If you find Turkic people west of the Caspian Sea rest-assured those are territories they seized from the indigenous populations. Artsakh, falsely called "Karabakh", has always been Armenian. No one can claim this Armenian land as their own just because their criminal ancestors invaded and occupied it. How can a territory inhabited almost exclusively by native Armenians be part of an enemy state invented 106 years ago when everywhere else they have desecrated and destroyed anything and everything that could bear witness to Armenian existence. Armenians have lived here since time immemorial. In 2005, Azerbaijani sadistic army destroyed a 1,300 year old Armenian cemetery in neighboring Julfa-Nakhijevan and build a military training camp in its place. How can Armenian have a cemetery in the South Caucasus dating back to 7th century but not be native to it? Stop lying, you are embarrassing yourself!
Gradually Turkey and Europe changed its historical name and called it Eastern Anatolia in order to erase Armenian history. Turkey changed the names of mountains, rivers, historic sites, cities etc.
"They want everyone to forget what happened to the Armenians, but it’s not ancient history-it happened in 1915. As long as Armenians live, it will be remembered." and you TURK try and tryyyyy good luck with it !!!!
As a Turk, I hope that this hatred between the two nations will end in the future. I don't think hating each other will benefit anyone, gathering every year and burning the Turkish flag will only increase this hatred. No one is guilty of their father's crimes. I know that most Armenians see us as monsters, please research and you will see that there have been many massacres where many Turks were killed. They killed mostly civilian Turks in the Balkans, but I don't hate anyone living in the Balkans right now because of this, and neither should you. I have many Armenian neighbors in Turkey, I have never seen anything bad from any of them, on the contrary, they are very good people. (Never forget this detail, no one chose their race before being spawned :) but no matter what your race is, be proud of it and don't hide it) I hope that one day all this hatred and resentment will end and we will make peace. With love from Turkey.
Hello my friend I am from Armenia and love Turkish people, and there are many of us, we just don't like the government and Erdogan for not simply recognising the historical fact Genocide which has happened, but it is never your fault, the reason that things from past should be recognised it is to prevent the same things from happening to others in future. Once recognised Armenians can heal and by healing Turkish people will feel that we actually Love Turkish people and are very similar... Anyway there are no dark nations neither good ones, there are only conscious or unconscious individuals that can have either love in their heart or fear/hate, we choose. I wish you true love, and all that your heart desires. God bless You 💜🪐🙏 Greetings from Yerevan!
@@harmony5807 If the Armenians want to show that their intention is only "acceptance of the facts and justice", they should also acknowledge the massacres and genocides they have committed in their own history and apologize for it. Maybe there can be friendship between the two countries despite the genocide lie you made up.
@@someonewho288 there were no massacres or genocides committed by Armeniens. As long as turks spreading lies about Armenians and other minorities lived and living in territory called turkey, there will be no peace and moreover friendship. One can't be in peace and friendship with felons.
First people in turkey must understand what the identity of turk means, then one can talk about what means burning the red flag of mustafa kemal called himself ataturk, who colored the flag into red for "joining communist revolution" but really just to get money from bolshevik ruzzians at his fight agains western countries. Because of own ignorance of own colonial history especially 1900-1929, that most of turks do not like to accept, there can't be peace between turks and other minorities. Turkey is a state made on bons of minorities it is a Cemetery of civilisation that why neither Greeks nor Armenians and even Kurds as well Ezidis do not stopp burning turkish flag. We will continue burn turkish flag as long as turks are trying to destroy our culture our history and assimilate us as ethnical Aborigen groups
3:45 the restoration architect Yavuz Ozkaya is brutally honest about the origine of the historical artefacts which is fully Armenian including the mosque.
Ani l'ancienne capitale de l'Arménie du royaume des Bagratides de l'an mille (Xe siècle) est aujourd'hui occupée par la Turquie à quelques kilomètres seulement de la frontière de l'actuelle République d'Arménie. Ani dont toutes les inscriptions liées à son origine arménienne sont soigneusement effacées par les autorités turques. Les guides turcs ayant également l'instruction de ne pas évoquer Ani comme capitale de l'Arménie.

In the Balkans and Greece, hundreds of mosques have become churches, and in Spain, the mosques of Al-Andalus have turned into cathedrals. Therefore, Turks and Arabs are nostalgic for their ancient homelands. Please create an emotional documentary on this topic to demonstrate your impartiality. Europe is two-faced.
Those mosques converted to churches, were originally churches converted to mosques after ottoman conquest. Those ancient lands in Greece you refer to, were our ancient lands not yours. Perhaps you should ask yourself why are there of 200,000 muslim Turks living in Greece today, and hardly any Greeks in Istanbul.
@@Agamemnon1002 Hittites, Phrygians, and dozens of other peoples lived in Anatolia before you came. Now, just because there are a few artifacts there, it doesn't make the land yours. Currently, these lands belong to the Turks because they have been ruling Anatolia more than 1000 years. They have lived here longer than you. Don't forget that you were subjects of the Turks for 400 years.
@@umittek6573 So what if we were subjects of the Ottomans for 400 years? You did not give us freedom, we fought for it. Besides, you talked about the balkans not anatolia, and how mosques were converted to churces, when they were built as chuches to begin with, and simply reverted to their original purpose. Also, you avoided the question as to what happened to your Turkish citizens of Greek origin in 1955, compared to the Turkish Greek citizens. I don't care much about anatolia, and I am happy with the way things are now. But, we left more than just artifacts there. We left cities, great architecture, culture and thousands of years of history.
@@Agamemnon1002 The Ottoman Empire never interfered with the language, religion, or culture of Greece during its rule. It governed Greece like a province and appointed Greeks as administrators. The greatest legacy you left behind are the massacres you committed during the independence war in the Morea peninsula, Navarino, and Tripoliçe. Eugène Delacroix's painting 'The Massacre at Chios' is one of your legacies. That’s why I say, two-faced Europe.
@@umittek6573 What??? Eugène Delacroix's painting of 'The Massacre at Chios' ..... was portraying the massacre of Chios Greeks by Turks, not the other way round!! In this massacre, the Ottomans slaughtered 120,000 of the Greek inhabitants and sent many more into slavery. I could mention many other massacres, but I cannot be bothered because it will be futile. The Ottomans were not stupid, and they knew that stopping minorities from speaking their language and practice their religion would cause unrest. It was bad enough that the sultan used the orthodox church, christian dragoamns and kocabasis to tax the ordinary Greeks into poverty. Yes, there were the Greek elites (merchants, ambassadors, ship owners) who became rich, because they brought wealth to the Ottoman empire. Apart from these, non-muslims in the Ottoman empire were second class citizens.
Turkey and Azerbaijan need to become democracies. Their people deserve better than the dictators that are ruling over them for decades now. Armenia made a lot of mistakes but we are a democracy and democracy and other freedoms is in our culture and ancient culture. It will do the Turks and Azeris good to come and visit Armenia and learn about our history because their histories, their traditions are connected to ours. They are part of this region and they have enriched the region with their Central Asian influences.
You are proud that Armenia's Ani a city of a thousand churches is on the Turkish side of the border? What else is new! You never had anything of your own!
We are proud that we fight for our flag , Turkish nation that lives in Türkiye 🇹🇷 , our religion , and fucked up your gypsy nation thats origins from India Rajasthan Like how we are pride too usa brother country ❤️🇦🇿 that take there occupied lands with a war in 44 days And about the churches we are not Barbars like armenians that destroys 141historical mosques inside Armenia thats the difference between your nation and my nation
Any conversion, be it mosque or church is wrong. Only in Spain this happened after 700 years of Muslim occupation. Arab-Muslims invaded the Christian country and conquered the big part of it. Some mosques were converted after the liberation of Spain, when the Muslims were pushed out of the country, back to Africa.
Hmm.. is there any "special" rule that forbid Armenian citizens to visit the ruins of Ani? I might be wrong but.. I don't think so, it's unlikely. In general, as a matter of fact, Armenian citizens can visit Turkiye (if I remember correctly even without visa), and they do it in the thousands. Also Turkish citizens are allowed to visit Armenia; not many of them do, but some of them yes
they both have to take a long detour through Georgia due to direct border crossings between the two countries not being allowed, which was mentioned in the video.
I was just there in July...on the Turkish side... looking at Armenia ....it was 💔💔💔 and the cultural whitewashing is everywhere in Turkey and occupied Cyprus
While Armenia and Greece accuse Turkey of irredentism they are the ones who push the borders and see Turkish regions as their own. As you can watch here, "Western Armenia", "I see no mosque there", "My grandmother would get angry if I mentioned Ani/Kars is Turkish today". They fail to accept the present and live in a dream world that was thousands of years ago, all due to the way they are raised in their educational institutions. Look at whose expense Greece grew since they became independent. They even forced their luck to their limits and tried to capture Ankara which turned out to be their ultimate doom in their "Asia Minor catastrophe". The Armenian ASALA terror organisation which assassinated Turkish politicians, diplomats and even civillians had the ideal to do that until Eastern Anatolia becomes Armenian, an ideal that is very alive between Armenians even today. Reason? Because they were once (1000 years ago) part of a Middle Age Armenian state. By that logic Turkey should drive their tanks until the Altai mountains to the East and the Danube river to the West - it's just silly. Now this all goes without saying, that the current Turkish regime is pushing for their own islamist-centric propaganda that they spread in their schools and news, which half the population doesn't even take seriously and is a hot debated topic in the country. But as an Armenian or a Greek, if you want the world - or even better the Turkish population - to agree with you and have an understanding with your sovereign rights, you have to learn to stay consistent. You can't accuse Turkey of irredentism while seeing Eastern Anatolia as Western Armenia, or the Agean Region as Greek Asia Minor - that is inconsistent. You can't condemn Turkey for converting churches into mosques while doing the same in the once muslim majority city of Yerevan, or in Greek Thrace/Macedonia/Thessaly/Attica. If something which is happening in Turkey bothers you, you have to be bothered by your own country's actions as well that go in the same direction. Only then people will take you seriously. I really hope for a rather soon agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, so that both the Turkic and Armenian people can prosper from open borders, trade, cultural interactivity and most importantly permanent regional stability. It is my dream to visit Armenia one day and host friends that I make there in Turkey as well. We deserve nothing less as two neighboring people for millenia.
@@HorvardPasha In Greece the Muslim population is alive and well protected under Greek Law. There are numerous Mosques in Greek Thrace and most importantly the 120.000 Muslim of Greece of 1923 are now in 2024 around 130.000. Unfortunately the opposite happened to the 200.000 Greeks of Turkey. They were subjected to harassments and pogroms(1942, 1955, 1978 eritme programisi etc ) and they finally were forced to flee the country during 1955-1962.
Your reasoning is like Swiss cheese, its just silly. Turks left by themselves, they were not chased out of the altai under threat of genocide, rape and enslavement. In fact, they went to chase away, rape and enslave others because they failed to make a living by themselves, so they did the only thing they could steal and enslave, let the slaves build the economy. When Armenians left their homeland, they had no choice, most of them died anyway- Those who survived did not go on to conquer weaker people, they found a place where they could integrate and become a vital part of society, hence why Armenia has one of the if not the most successful diaspora on the planet while turkey is globally despised. When the Ottomans confiscated all Armenian wealth in the Empire and even in places like Germany, they had an incredible amount of money for the newly founded republic of turkey, everybody thought they would become a world power within 50 years. Now over 100 years later we once again saw you waste the wealth that others have built over generations and now you have nothing to show for it. so called "easter turkey" is a underdeveloped shithole that has been neglected since its occupation. Just for the region itself it would be so much better historically and just based on data if the Armenians would regain control it. That is an undeniable fact. You don't get peace by exercising violence and then lying about it for 100 years. If you truly want peace as a nation you should finally return Ani and Ararat to the Armenians and admit to the genocide. Get rid of those embarrassing statues of the Pashas that have literally run your empire into the ground. Show some good will. But anyone suggesting that in Turkey would get lynched on the street or, if lucky, end up in prison, so I do not have much hope. And Armenians and turks are not "neighboring for millennia", your invasion only began in the 11th century, you do not get the right to call those you invaded and mistreated your neighbors for millennia.
@@CaptainHarlock-kv4ztdon't talk with a turk about facts and history, it doesn't make sense. They are fascist brainwashed since born. What happened to the 35% Christian Population of modern day Turkey after the fall of the Ottoman Empire? Explain if you have a bit of honour proud turk who's dna is mainly greek, armenian and Kurdish 😂
These armenians look so peaceful when they speak to a crew from a western country. But they try not to mention occupation of Azerbaijan's 20% of internationally recongnized territories and keeping those territories under occupation for 30 years. They, of course, would also not speak about the atrocities they committed during the first Karabakh war, when Russia supported them against Azerbaijan with all the means.
Also, stop with the joke 'Ahh, we can’t go there because it’s Turkish land.' There are at least 100,000 illegal Armenian immigrants in Turkey. Don’t make me laugh.
Bullshit made up by Erdogan a decade ago. There are no illegal Armenians in turkey. There are 100.000 Armenians in Constantinople, and they have been there since the early Byzantine times.
7:01 what about the Cordoba mosque , she is not talking the full truth unfortunately, what about the pantheons in Roman pagan temple and they are using as a church 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Cordoba Mosque was build on a former Christian Church after Muslim Berber/Arabs invaded Spain. Stop lying. Muslims were/are invaders and colonizers in Europe.
Great documentary! Thank you ARTE! I hope the borders between Armenia and Turkey reopen someday so Armenians can easily access to the lost city of Ani.
Also many mosques were converted to churches in Greece and other parts of the Balkans, in Athens it was too hard to build a mosque, until lately the Greek government approved to build a mosque though Greece is a member of the EU!
ARMENIA WENT ON THE OFFENSIVE... Stop trying to hide your hypocrisy, Arty! Hahahaha. Armenia occupied that region of Azerbaijan because there were more ethnic Armenians than ethnic Turks, and they carried out ethnic cleansing against the Turks. Why can't you say that?"
No ethnic cleansing of Turks. Stop drinking your shitty government's propaganda kool-aid. Turks aren't even from Anatolia. They are welcome to migrate back to the mountains of Central Asia they sing about in songs whenever they like.
It is Azerbaijan who went on a Offensive after An Autonomous Armenian Oblast Voted legally to be part of Armenia. They just defended themselves🤷🏻♂️ Dont forget about the Pogroms and etnic cleansing in Azerbaijan ( Kirovabad, Ganja, Baku) against Armenians.
The world because of their geopolitical interests instead of forcing Turkey ,and they have the power to do so,to stop the terrorist practices against Armenia and other countries and peoples in the region they are by their inactions encourage the Turks to continue their criminal acts .Russia did not support Armenia against Azerbaijan and Turkey and they were obligated to do so because they had signed to protect them .The same happened on Cyprus in 1974 where they allowed the Turks to invade and committed crimes such as rapes and killings of hundreds of civilians and expelled all the Greek people from their rightful country .England was one of the signers of the Zurich agreement to safeguard the Republic o Cyprus and they did nothing even though they had and steel have a very strong military force on the Island .
Yes, nowadays. Turkey is about 100 years old, that's it. A new country based on an artificial ethnic claim implemented by violence on people who don't even have 20% of Turkic people. Study history and biology, if you're allowed of course.
You know little about armenia.They tell you about the German European crusaders , but nowhere do they write that they were neither Germans nor Armenians. Еxample have you heard about the Livonian Order, so know that these were Armenians. The order is named after the king of Cilicia Levon Rubenidas , and no Livonia existed - this is a distorted name for the toponym of the Levant. Тhe first crusaders in Europe came from the Armenian highlands of Cilician Armenia and Ani
As a Brit who has been there with the family via eastern express and stayed a long time, I can say the depiction is quite biased with some ill-intent, probably politically motivated I would say. Firstly, that mosque in Kars downtown which is converted from church is not open to religious practice unlike a traditional mosque, when we were there we couldn’t even enter as it was under renovation and they said it’s like a museum to visit rather than pray. If left unattended, I’m sure it would be just ruins. We witnessed Turks spent so much funds renovating old heritage in the region, smth that they should definitely be praised in my view. Finally locals told us there’s been huge massacres committed by Armenian gangs during WWI with the support of Russians who previously invaded Kars city, a trace of which can be seen in the Caucasus War Museum in Kars. Again no mention of that side of story or no visits there. Despite all these, we found Turks being quite friendly and open to dialogue with unmissable hospitality. I wish there would be an objective coverage but when we saw the ending credits in this documentary we understood what’s happening. It’s very pity because one should always maintain objectivity, otherwise this would turn into political propaganda..
Wow! You’re the biased one. First of all Armenians are the indigenous people. Turks invaded our lands even affirmed in this video. And finally by 1915 the Turkic leaders organized the genocide of the Armenian race. Do you understand that Armenians were around 2-3 million and Turks over 50 million? Millions of Armenians were massacred and we were exiled from our own lands as you see in this video! Yet you seem to not get it? Why? Armenians only fought in self defense if Turks were killed. They were trying to exterminate an entire RACE! We lived on our own lands! My own grandfather’s entire family was murdered as well. Left orphaned with NO identity!
@@HopefulInterventions I’m not sure if you have ever been there personally or not but we were there so I wrote what we observed from our own experience, which highly suggest that the broadcast was heavily biased toward one side. I would really recommend you to pay a visit one day to Caucasus War Museum and see how some Armenian gangs massacred civilians in Kars with Russian troops, a memory that was still felt to this day in Kars. Maybe then you would calibrate your hatred with some nuances. What I know Turks and Armenians used to live together for about thousand years hence the indigenousness is quite irrelevant but you do have a point which I concur that Armenians have a great legacy in those lands. Anyway, I don’t think there’s only one side in any conflict in the world regardless of how much funds are spent to portray the otherwise. I really hope the borders would be open soon so both nations come closer and mend the ties. All the best!
@@andreqasparian1008 you can believe in whatever you want my friend, I don’t think I need to prove you who I am with my passport enclosed, but if that would satisfy you I would consider that perhaps.

Armenia occupied a quarter of the territory of Azerbaijan for 30 years. More than 1 million Azerbaijani citizens were forced to leave their homes. Why do you never mention this?
Because Azeris only occupied that land in recent history when they committed ethnic purging against Armenians, who have lived there for thousands of years.
Anatolia was the birthplace of Indo-European people and the most developed civilization in the world before the nomad’s invasion. Modern-day Turkey has nothing to do with the rich historical and cultural heritage of this region. Primitive Turkic tribes ruined the great achievements of human civilization, pushing back the region for centuries behind.
I find it quite lacking that this "French/German" media refuses to disclose the reason for Armenia's exclusion from neighbourly relations. Was it because they occupied, expelled 700 thousand civilians and despite many UN decisions/Madrid principles refused to compromise with their neighbour for about 30 years?
They knew their hostile neighbors intentions. So they kept their land to secure their people as much as possible. Who expelled Baku and Sumgait Armenians first?
@@aramebandari2259 Well, if we start who did it first we need to go hundreds of years. The problem is since 90s Armenians were acting in bad faith. They had the opportunity to secure a lasting peace and good neighbourly relations instead they followed their Russian masters directives and kept the surrounding territories as a "buffer zone". Now they don't have peace, karabakh or the 4000+ young Armenians who unfortunately died.
@@SoghomonTehlirian1915 Same Pashinyan before 2020 was dancing around in Shusha? Knowing the city meant a lot to Azerbaijanis. All it tooks for Armenians to beg for peace was getting absolutely humiliated in battlefield. Before 2020, everyone in Armenia was fine with status quo, now nobody in Azerbaijan or Armenia is fine with status quo.
More than 450 villages, tens of Mosques were destroyed by Armenian terrorists just only within 30 years of unlawful occupation of Karabakh. Shame on you Arte for false reporting and siding yourself on Armenian irredentism, occupation and terrorism...
No such thing as an Armenian terrorist dummy. You're not from the area, you're literally a mongolian turk who's a spawm of Genghis Khans conquest. You have no history.
“It is hard to be Armenian because you are always on defensive” Seriously? Please stop playing the victim! Who attacked and occupied the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan, displaced one million Azerbaijanis, did massacre of innocent civilians, vandalized Muslim mosques and graveyards, and left hundreds of thousands of land mines behind that continue killing innocent people?
Nagorno-Karabakh was the last Armenian-majority region outside of Armenia because they had been killed or fled violence everywhere else. The people there tried to legally join Armenia multiple times back in the Soviet Union, but it was never accepted. Now they're forced out of their homes there too, with no reasonable guarantee that they can ever safely return. The region will be stripped of its Armenian identity just like all the other nearby regions in Turkey and Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan. So where you see an occupation, I see a last ditch attempt to protect a people from further extermination.
@@Zeta4 If you can’t join “legally” that doesn’t mean you have to use force, do ethnic cleansing, displace innocent civilians, and establish a fake statehood that no single country took seriously. Isn’t it what Spain’s Catalonia tried? Did they switch to a different tactic, say, violence? No.
@@SoghomonTehlirian1915 fake, Stalin never gave anything to Azerbaijan. It is enough to look at old Soviet archives. Instead, Soviets deprived Azerbaijan of Zangezur to weaken the ties between Turkiye and the rest of the Turkic world all the way from the Caucasus to Central Asia. (Luckily this is no longer an issue.)
This is a conflict of civilizations: Armenians represent a remaining island of ancient Indo-European civilization that once existed in the vast area of Anatolia and the Middle East. Turks/Azeris are nomads, - they came from Central Asia and imposed their dominance by exterminating and/or assimilating the local settled population. Turks continue extermination of Armenians because they know they live on Armenian land.
Your video is pretty biased. When Armenia declared independence in 1991, Armenians had free travel to all the sites on this video. Once Armenia started the war with Azerbaijan and started to demand to re-negotiate border with Turkey, Armenians lost free access to these sites. As a new republic Armenia could have said we respect all internationally recognized borders and try to build good relationship with its neighbors. Had Armenia chosen peace and negotiations, its likely these areas would have been available for them to visit now and most likely Karabakh would be mostly Armenian heritage. No one would have been pushed out of their homes. Also Armenia has to develop economic ties with Turkey in the region. They can not grow their economy depending on Russia and their original strategy of building strong ties with Iran is not going to happen. The West and USA wont help Armenia to build economic relationships with Iran. Videos like yours only push a narrow view point and they dont help Turks and Armenians to live together peacefully.
Let's talk about some facts ... Fact: Those who encourage Armenia to follow a more "Hardcore" policy; For example, the The Diaspora and Big Friend! France are actually doing harm to the Armenians. Fact: Armenia urgently needs to find energy resources. Metsamor, the world's most dangerous nuclear power plant, is the main source of energy today. If something were to happen to it, neither Armenia nor the Armenian race would be left behind. Big bada bumm and no more Armenia ...! Fact: If the risk of War arises again, neither the diaspora 15,000 km away nor the Westerners who know nothing but shouting empty can help. .. because geography. If a regional conflict breaks out, how can you deliver weapons - soldiers - ammunition and beyond that civilian aid to Yerevan? North pole route? Dig tunnels from Paris to Yerevan? ... I can list many more things, but when you look at the bottom of the page, the result is always the same. Make peace with your neighbors, keep trade - energy and transportation routes open, and achieve prosperity and peace.
Fact is Armenia is surrounded by two hostile turkish nations under dictatorships, Alievs (40+years) Erdogan (almost 20 years), fact is until Turkey and AZ dont become a democracy, Armenia cant risk anything since it is on the brink of extintion. Also fact is fuck russia. They are weak and unreliable. PD also if war breaks out and Armenia is invaded we dont need the diaspora, it is gona be a guerilla warfare where turks losses will be so high that you may consider that option rather its worth or not to invade armenia, there is a reason armenia exists for over 2000 years and still is on the map. Come and see.
Yes, Turks are devils and Armenians are angels. It is funny how french television points out every detail of "genocides" of other people, when themselves have a bunch of dirty underpants. Algeria....Afro-Francs.. Never ever I have seen an objektive documentation. Turks never claimed that Ani is turkish. What a misinformation. And if every nation would get their own historical architectural sites, then the half of the world would belong to the Turks.

And Azerbaijan is a region of Iran that never existed in its current area just over a hundred years ago on any map. And Turks did not live anywhere in this area prior to their movement westward into the region in the 1500s. Ararat, not what you call it, was celebrated by native Armenians before any Turks ever arrived in that area. So there you go
You’re more likely to find a map to the lost city of Atlantis rather than of Azerbaijan that existed before the 1920s. Because the problem is… it doesn’t exist.
Interesting that nothing is said about the decades-long renaming efforts of different Turkish governemnts, mount Ararat is not to be called that way in the Turkish view, as well as the 'Armenian Highland' placename. Ani and Kars are highly rare examples of old Armenian placenames which have not been renamed or linguistically reshaped. Anyway, thanks for the good work!
Armenia was not supported by Russia during 1990s war with azerbaijan. Armenians were using hunting rifles and leftover weapons from ww2 along with soviet weapons. Russia did not help armenia with troops or weapons so what king of "support" are you talking about?
Yeah right, you received very large number of Russian weapons and ammunition from corrupt Russian generals and commanders who stationed in Gyumri and Karabakh. Plus you received tens of millions worts "aid" from your diaspora that were used in purchasing some of these arms. Plus Armenians from Lebanon and Syria arrived to join in combat. For example, the Khojaly massacre was carried out by "Arabo" units consisting of Arab Armenians.
@@zahirruh everybody knew? lmao. You can't provide a single credible source. Russians never fought during Karabagh 90s war and they never supplied Armenians with weapons. How do I know? I was there.

Why Arte Chanel does not visit the liberated territories of Azerbaijan to show us what Armenians turned this territories into by leaving all the looted houses by them in ruins and mines with cut trees and destroyed mosques. Can you also explain why Macron supplies Armenia with weapons now to ruin and occupy Azerbaijani territories again? Arte is very politicised channel.
Political lies ,and theft of Armenian lands ,if turkey wants Palestine back for Muslim Arabs ,we want back Ani back as our most beautiful city long ago ,turkey have to think if they want palestine for Muslim Arabs than also turkey should give Ani back to Christian’s Armenian ,if not ,the UN should do something just like taking karabakh from Armenia and gave it to Azerbaijan ,what’s right for them it’s right for Armenia.

@@Hayklass I can't say I follow Turkish news very closely, but from my perspective, I don't think Turkey will ever willingly choose to leave NATO because they have much more influence and leverage being in it, rather than out of it. From your comment alone my assumption is Erdogan's doing the same thing authoritarian politicians are doing around the world; He complains about his country's international agreements to his domestic audience to look strong and nationalist. But he knows they benefit him and the country, so he toes the line, seeing how far he can get without being reprimanded. Like the Georgian Dream party in Georgia or Viktor Orbán in Hungary.
Turkey should invite Christians back. When Israelis convert mosques into temples, people cry foul. Why the double standard? And yes, there are Christians there, but they are too afraid to practice openly.
1.Armenians didn't buy this land directly from Adam and Eve. 2. The Armenian kingdom ruled over that region only for 130 years. And they were under the protection of the Abbasids. They were vassals of the greater powers. The Armenian kingdom known as the Bagradit kingdom, founded by Gagik I. were conquered by the Byzantines in 1045. There were many other civilizations prior and after them in the region. Even the Russians were there for a short while. 3. The population of Armenia is around 4 million. The population of Turkey is almost around 90 million. A country with a population of 4 million and not claim a land which stretches from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. This is nonsense. 4. Armenians and Kurds are of Persian decent. They were Zoroastrians and Armenians adopted Christianity in the 4. CE., the Kurds predominantly adopted Islam.

Russia and Iran were protecting Armenia's southern border for many years, Azerbaijan wants to take over that border. Russian soldiers have been at 3 million Armenian border with 85 million Turkey for 34 years. Unfortunately, be ause of Western propaganda, some Armenians do not even know who is protecting their borders. Meanwhile Pashinyan was/is running them to join EU, enemies of Iran and Russia. Some do not want to be with Russia when they are happy, but they expect Russia to run and help them when they are in trouble, they want to eat their cake and have it. Russia has become their scapegoat. Why they are not talking about EU betraying them? 3-4 months after the war some EU member countries went and celebrated Pres Erdogan for recapturing their historic lands - Azerbaijan celebrated its 104th Anniversary in May 2022. It. Was, the land, part of Persian Empire till 1828. They last a war to Russia and surrendered the land to Russia. Later Joseph Stalin made it a country in 1930s.
Mr. Ismail Yavuz deserves all the respect in this world to admit against turkish fascist propaganda that the whole site is build by Armenians.
100 years since the Armenian genocide and still the governments of Turkey and Azerbaijan demand more from Armenia, while they wipe out and neglect any traces of Armenian culture and history within their own borders. The lengths people will go to hurt others for their own benefit, because of their own greed or pride, is sad
Armenians were brutally deported it wasn't a genocide. Genocide was done on Turks by the Armenians whenever Russians invaded the Ottoman Empire. Read it by Pushkin's memoirs, or Armenia's first president Kaçaznuni. Christian West thinks that it's OK if it's the Muslims who are killed. Xenophobia and racism is in your bones. If you want to see genocide, go to Hodjali. Try to study history without a Turkish butthurt.
Armenia should recognize the killings of muslims by armenian gangs first. The armenian gangs backed by the russian empire started this whole thing by killing muslims in anatolia to fullfil their dreams of great armenia supported by the russian empire to destabilize the ottoman empire.

Really? Who attacked Azerbaijan, kept 20% of its lands under occupation before 2020 while not complying with the four UN resolutions, displaced one million people, conducted massacres (just like Khojaly, Malibeyli, Mesheli, etc.) of innocent civilians, left tens of thousands of mines, and vandalized mosques and cemetries?
They tried to leave legally. They voted multiple times to join Armenia during the Soviet Union. They wanted self-determination and independence. By the time the war started there were mobs targeting attacking and killing Armenians in the cities of Azerbaijan. If Armenia didn’t go into Nagorno-Karabakh they would’ve been massacred there too
How dishonorable to stand in someone else's home.
Even though i am not Christian,
But seeing occupation of Armenian and greek land by Turkey deeply hurts me,
Turkey excavating Ani, Armenia's old capital, is a crime against humanity under UN Declaration on Universal Human Rights and UN Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Armenians are indigenous to the region. Armenia has a right to their cultural heritage sites. It should be in Armenia. Turkey committed genocide against Armenians on that same land and stole it through settler colonialism -Turks only arrived in the 1200s from far east. This is like the British Museum stealing other nation's heritage for display.

12:30 - The Karabakh region is 90% Armenian in population, so it should be part of Armenia by rights, and taking Armenians over means there should be no corridor. "NOrmalization" cannot take place while Armenian culture and people are being erased on both sides.
False, Arenians are outsiders to all of Caucasia, including Karabag, Revan and entire Armenia of today. Revan Khanate is a Turk state in todays Yerevan beginning 19th century. Russian collected Armenians from Iran and Türkiye by ethnic cleansing Turks.
Karabakh is %90 Armenian because they have ethnically cleansed all the 500.000 Azerbaijanis (which made majority of the region) from the region in first Karabakh war, it is exactly the same situation with kicking someone out of somewhere and declaring yourself the majority.
@@ayhankaracaoglu6845
You need to stop smoking potent Turkish hashish. It is rotting your brain. Forget who says what. Check out Encyclopedia Britanica and see what belongs to whom! If you consider yourselves Turkish then you are from Central Asia. If you consider yourselves Turkish converts from the Caucasus then you can only be from the Caspian coast and not from Iran-Armenia border region. The history of the region was written long before artificial Azerbaijan was invented by Lenin and Stalin 106 years ago in 1918 on occupied Armenian and Persian lands!
Karabakh is an entirely different issue. Only recently lived, 90% of the people were Armenian. If you look at the territory's history however, you can easily see that Armenians are not indigenous to Karabakh. That's because a lot of people from different ethnicities lived and built their own cultural structures on it, as they lived on it.
Persians, Mongols, Albanians, Turks, all lived on that land, everybody can claim that they belong that land.
@@ayhankaracaoglu6845
That's hilarious coming from someone whose ancestors are from Central Asia! All Turkic people are native to Central Asia and nowhere else. If you find Turkic people west of the Caspian Sea rest-assured those are territories they seized from the indigenous populations. Artsakh, falsely called "Karabakh", has always been Armenian. No one can claim this Armenian land as their own just because their criminal ancestors invaded and occupied it. How can a territory inhabited almost exclusively by native Armenians be part of an enemy state invented 106 years ago when everywhere else they have desecrated and destroyed anything and everything that could bear witness to Armenian existence. Armenians have lived here since time immemorial. In 2005, Azerbaijani sadistic army destroyed a 1,300 year old Armenian cemetery in neighboring Julfa-Nakhijevan and build a military training camp in its place. How can Armenian have a cemetery in the South Caucasus dating back to 7th century but not be native to it? Stop lying, you are embarrassing yourself!

Exactly!
As a Turk, I hope that this hatred between the two nations will end in the future. I don't think hating each other will benefit anyone, gathering every year and burning the Turkish flag will only increase this hatred. No one is guilty of their father's crimes. I know that most Armenians see us as monsters, please research and you will see that there have been many massacres where many Turks were killed. They killed mostly civilian Turks in the Balkans, but I don't hate anyone living in the Balkans right now because of this, and neither should you. I have many Armenian neighbors in Turkey, I have never seen anything bad from any of them, on the contrary, they are very good people. (Never forget this detail, no one chose their race before being spawned :) but no matter what your race is, be proud of it and don't hide it) I hope that one day all this hatred and resentment will end and we will make peace.

Ani l'ancienne capitale de l'Arménie du royaume des Bagratides de l'an mille (Xe siècle) est aujourd'hui occupée par la Turquie à quelques kilomètres seulement de la frontière de l'actuelle République d'Arménie. Ani dont toutes les inscriptions liées à son origine arménienne sont soigneusement effacées par les autorités turques. Les guides turcs ayant également l'instruction de ne pas évoquer Ani comme capitale de l'Arménie. Un révisionnisme d'Etat organisé par Ankara visant -après le génocide des Arméniens de 1915- à efface toute trace du passé des Arméniens sur ces terres où ils vivaient depuis des millénaires. Krikor Amirzayan
Ani is Armenian city of 1001 churches.
In the Balkans and Greece, hundreds of mosques have become churches, and in Spain, the mosques of Al-Andalus have turned into cathedrals. Therefore, Turks and Arabs are nostalgic for their ancient homelands. Please create an emotional documentary on this topic to demonstrate your impartiality. Europe is two-faced.
Those mosques converted to churches, were originally churches converted to mosques after ottoman conquest.
Those ancient lands in Greece you refer to, were our ancient lands not yours.
Perhaps you should ask yourself why are there of 200,000 muslim Turks living in Greece today, and hardly any Greeks in Istanbul.
@@Agamemnon1002 Hittites, Phrygians, and dozens of other peoples lived in Anatolia before you came. Now, just because there are a few artifacts there, it doesn't make the land yours. Currently, these lands belong to the Turks because they have been ruling Anatolia more than 1000 years. They have lived here longer than you. Don't forget that you were subjects of the Turks for 400 years.
@@umittek6573 So what if we were subjects of the Ottomans for 400 years?
You did not give us freedom, we fought for it.
Besides, you talked about the balkans not anatolia, and how mosques were converted to churces, when they were built as chuches to begin with, and simply reverted to their original purpose.
Also, you avoided the question as to what happened to your Turkish citizens of Greek origin in 1955, compared to the Turkish Greek citizens.
I don't care much about anatolia, and I am happy with the way things are now.
But, we left more than just artifacts there. We left cities, great architecture, culture and thousands of years of history.
@@Agamemnon1002 The Ottoman Empire never interfered with the language, religion, or culture of Greece during its rule. It governed Greece like a province and appointed Greeks as administrators. The greatest legacy you left behind are the massacres you committed during the independence war in the Morea peninsula, Navarino, and Tripoliçe. Eugène Delacroix's painting 'The Massacre at Chios' is one of your legacies. That’s why I say, two-faced Europe.
@@umittek6573 What???
Eugène Delacroix's painting of 'The Massacre at Chios' ..... was portraying the massacre of Chios Greeks by Turks, not the other way round!!
In this massacre, the Ottomans slaughtered 120,000 of the Greek inhabitants and sent many more into slavery.
I could mention many other massacres, but I cannot be bothered because it will be futile.
The Ottomans were not stupid, and they knew that stopping minorities from speaking their language and practice their religion would cause unrest.
It was bad enough that the sultan used the orthodox church, christian dragoamns and kocabasis to tax the ordinary Greeks into poverty.
Yes, there were the Greek elites (merchants, ambassadors, ship owners) who became rich, because they brought wealth to the Ottoman empire. Apart from these, non-muslims in the Ottoman empire were second class citizens.
Turkey and Azerbaijan need to become democracies. Their people deserve better than the dictators that are ruling over them for decades now. Armenia made a lot of mistakes but we are a democracy and democracy and other freedoms is in our culture and ancient culture. It will do the Turks and Azeris good to come and visit Armenia and learn about our history because their histories, their traditions are connected to ours. They are part of this region and they have enriched the region with their Central Asian influences.

In general, as a matter of fact, Armenian citizens can visit Turkiye (if I remember correctly even without visa), and they do it in the thousands. Also Turkish citizens are allowed to visit Armenia; not many of them do, but some of them yes
Yes we can travel to armenia without Visa and also they can travel without Visa it is not forbidden to visit
they both have to take a long detour through Georgia due to direct border crossings between the two countries not being allowed, which was mentioned in the video.

Turkey must ban you from entering the country.
While Armenia and Greece accuse Turkey of irredentism they are the ones who push the borders and see Turkish regions as their own. As you can watch here, "Western Armenia", "I see no mosque there", "My grandmother would get angry if I mentioned Ani/Kars is Turkish today". They fail to accept the present and live in a dream world that was thousands of years ago, all due to the way they are raised in their educational institutions. Look at whose expense Greece grew since they became independent. They even forced their luck to their limits and tried to capture Ankara which turned out to be their ultimate doom in their "Asia Minor catastrophe". The Armenian ASALA terror organisation which assassinated Turkish politicians, diplomats and even civillians had the ideal to do that until Eastern Anatolia becomes Armenian, an ideal that is very alive between Armenians even today. Reason? Because they were once (1000 years ago) part of a Middle Age Armenian state. By that logic Turkey should drive their tanks until the Altai mountains to the East and the Danube river to the West - it's just silly.
Now this all goes without saying, that the current Turkish regime is pushing for their own islamist-centric propaganda that they spread in their schools and news, which half the population doesn't even take seriously and is a hot debated topic in the country. But as an Armenian or a Greek, if you want the world - or even better the Turkish population - to agree with you and have an understanding with your sovereign rights, you have to learn to stay consistent. You can't accuse Turkey of irredentism while seeing Eastern Anatolia as Western Armenia, or the Agean Region as Greek Asia Minor - that is inconsistent. You can't condemn Turkey for converting churches into mosques while doing the same in the once muslim majority city of Yerevan, or in Greek Thrace/Macedonia/Thessaly/Attica. If something which is happening in Turkey bothers you, you have to be bothered by your own country's actions as well that go in the same direction. Only then people will take you seriously.
I really hope for a rather soon agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, so that both the Turkic and Armenian people can prosper from open borders, trade, cultural interactivity and most importantly permanent regional stability. It is my dream to visit Armenia one day and host friends that I make there in Turkey as well. We deserve nothing less as two neighboring people for millenia.
@@HorvardPasha In Greece the Muslim population is alive and well protected under Greek Law. There are numerous Mosques in Greek Thrace and most importantly the 120.000 Muslim of Greece of 1923 are now in 2024 around 130.000.
Unfortunately the opposite happened to the 200.000 Greeks of Turkey. They were subjected to harassments and pogroms(1942, 1955, 1978 eritme programisi etc ) and they finally were forced to flee the country during 1955-1962.
Your reasoning is like Swiss cheese, its just silly. Turks left by themselves, they were not chased out of the altai under threat of genocide, rape and enslavement. In fact, they went to chase away, rape and enslave others because they failed to make a living by themselves, so they did the only thing they could steal and enslave, let the slaves build the economy. When Armenians left their homeland, they had no choice, most of them died anyway- Those who survived did not go on to conquer weaker people, they found a place where they could integrate and become a vital part of society, hence why Armenia has one of the if not the most successful diaspora on the planet while turkey is globally despised.
When the Ottomans confiscated all Armenian wealth in the Empire and even in places like Germany, they had an incredible amount of money for the newly founded republic of turkey, everybody thought they would become a world power within 50 years. Now over 100 years later we once again saw you waste the wealth that others have built over generations and now you have nothing to show for it. so called "easter turkey" is a underdeveloped shithole that has been neglected since its occupation. Just for the region itself it would be so much better historically and just based on data if the Armenians would regain control it. That is an undeniable fact.
You don't get peace by exercising violence and then lying about it for 100 years. If you truly want peace as a nation you should finally return Ani and Ararat to the Armenians and admit to the genocide. Get rid of those embarrassing statues of the Pashas that have literally run your empire into the ground. Show some good will. But anyone suggesting that in Turkey would get lynched on the street or, if lucky, end up in prison, so I do not have much hope. And Armenians and turks are not "neighboring for millennia", your invasion only began in the 11th century, you do not get the right to call those you invaded and mistreated your neighbors for millennia.
@@CaptainHarlock-kv4ztdon't talk with a turk about facts and history, it doesn't make sense. They are fascist brainwashed since born. What happened to the 35% Christian Population of modern day Turkey after the fall of the Ottoman Empire? Explain if you have a bit of honour proud turk who's dna is mainly greek, armenian and Kurdish 😂
I visited Ani just before the pandemic hit. "Yes, political lies." Support a secular Turkey.
A historical site and Osman Kavala in the same videos😂😂😂
Yeah you know it is a bullshit propaganda video marketed as a history video that try to throw dirt on Turkish goverment at any given chance
These armenians look so peaceful when they speak to a crew from a western country. But they try not to mention occupation of Azerbaijan's 20% of internationally recongnized territories and keeping those territories under occupation for 30 years. They, of course, would also not speak about the atrocities they committed during the first Karabakh war, when Russia supported them against Azerbaijan with all the means.
Talk about slaughter you committed in Baku and Sumgayit that forced Armenians to protect themselves.
The real reason Arte makes videos about Türkiye is to say something bad about it. The subject is always secondary.
Turkey is a hated country, leave EU we dont want you in Germany
So what ? Turkey is Pakistan of Europe, and ArTe is justifying why it is so.
Also, stop with the joke 'Ahh, we can’t go there because it’s Turkish land.' There are at least 100,000 illegal Armenian immigrants in Turkey. Don’t make me laugh.
Bullshit made up by Erdogan a decade ago. There are no illegal Armenians in turkey.
There are 100.000 Armenians in Constantinople, and they have been there since the early Byzantine times.
Good program, good job - thank you
7:01 what about the Cordoba mosque , she is not talking the full truth unfortunately, what about the pantheons in Roman pagan temple and they are using as a church 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Cordoba Mosque was build on a former Christian Church after Muslim Berber/Arabs invaded Spain. Stop lying. Muslims were/are invaders and colonizers in Europe.
Never Forget 1915 Armenia
evet, unutmamak faydanıza olur.
Yep who killed kurdish Muslims?
Great documentary! Thank you ARTE! I hope the borders between Armenia and Turkey reopen someday so Armenians can easily access to the lost city of Ani.
Also many mosques were converted to churches in Greece and other parts of the Balkans, in Athens it was too hard to build a mosque, until lately the Greek government approved to build a mosque though Greece is a member of the EU!
ARMENIA WENT ON THE OFFENSIVE... Stop trying to hide your hypocrisy, Arty! Hahahaha. Armenia occupied that region of Azerbaijan because there were more ethnic Armenians than ethnic Turks, and they carried out ethnic cleansing against the Turks. Why can't you say that?"
No ethnic cleansing of Turks. Stop drinking your shitty government's propaganda kool-aid. Turks aren't even from Anatolia. They are welcome to migrate back to the mountains of Central Asia they sing about in songs whenever they like.
It is Azerbaijan who went on a Offensive after An Autonomous Armenian Oblast Voted legally to be part of Armenia. They just defended themselves🤷🏻♂️
Dont forget about the Pogroms and etnic cleansing in Azerbaijan ( Kirovabad, Ganja, Baku) against Armenians.
cry me a river azergöt
The world because of their geopolitical interests instead of forcing Turkey ,and they have the power to do so,to stop the terrorist practices against Armenia and other countries and peoples in the region they are by their inactions encourage the Turks to continue their criminal acts .Russia did not support Armenia against Azerbaijan and Turkey and they were obligated to do so because they had signed to protect them .The same happened on Cyprus in 1974 where they allowed the Turks to invade and committed crimes such as rapes and killings of hundreds of civilians and expelled all the Greek people from their rightful country .England was one of the signers of the Zurich agreement to safeguard the Republic o Cyprus and they did nothing even though they had and steel have a very strong military force on the Island .
It’s called Kars
Yes, nowadays. Turkey is about 100 years old, that's it. A new country based on an artificial ethnic claim implemented by violence on people who don't even have 20% of Turkic people. Study history and biology, if you're allowed of course.
You know little about armenia.They tell you about the German European crusaders , but nowhere do they write that they were neither Germans nor Armenians. Еxample have you heard about the Livonian Order,
so know that these were Armenians. The order is named after the king of Cilicia Levon Rubenidas , and no Livonia existed - this is a distorted name for the toponym of the Levant. Тhe first crusaders in Europe came from the Armenian highlands of Cilician Armenia and Ani
As a Brit who has been there with the family via eastern express and stayed a long time, I can say the depiction is quite biased with some ill-intent, probably politically motivated I would say.
Firstly, that mosque in Kars downtown which is converted from church is not open to religious practice unlike a traditional mosque, when we were there we couldn’t even enter as it was under renovation and they said it’s like a museum to visit rather than pray. If left unattended, I’m sure it would be just ruins. We witnessed Turks spent so much funds renovating old heritage in the region, smth that they should definitely be praised in my view. Finally locals told us there’s been huge massacres committed by Armenian gangs during WWI with the support of Russians who previously invaded Kars city, a trace of which can be seen in the Caucasus War Museum in Kars. Again no mention of that side of story or no visits there. Despite all these, we found Turks being quite friendly and open to dialogue with unmissable hospitality. I wish there would be an objective coverage but when we saw the ending credits in this documentary we understood what’s happening. It’s very pity because one should always maintain objectivity, otherwise this would turn into political propaganda..
Wow! You’re the biased one. First of all Armenians are the indigenous people. Turks invaded our lands even affirmed in this video. And finally by 1915 the Turkic leaders organized the genocide of the Armenian race. Do you understand that Armenians were around 2-3 million and Turks over 50 million? Millions of Armenians were massacred and we were exiled from our own lands as you see in this video! Yet you seem to not get it? Why? Armenians only fought in self defense if Turks were killed. They were trying to exterminate an entire RACE! We lived on our own lands! My own grandfather’s entire family was murdered as well. Left orphaned with NO identity!
@@HopefulInterventions I’m not sure if you have ever been there personally or not but we were there so I wrote what we observed from our own experience, which highly suggest that the broadcast was heavily biased toward one side. I would really recommend you to pay a visit one day to Caucasus War Museum and see how some Armenian gangs massacred civilians in Kars with Russian troops, a memory that was still felt to this day in Kars. Maybe then you would calibrate your hatred with some nuances. What I know Turks and Armenians used to live together for about thousand years hence the indigenousness is quite irrelevant but you do have a point which I concur that Armenians have a great legacy in those lands. Anyway, I don’t think there’s only one side in any conflict in the world regardless of how much funds are spent to portray the otherwise. I really hope the borders would be open soon so both nations come closer and mend the ties. All the best!

Armenia occupied a quarter of the territory of Azerbaijan for 30 years. More than 1 million Azerbaijani citizens were forced to leave their homes. Why do you never mention this?

More than 1 million? Really?
Talk about Baku and Sumgait! What happened to Armenians in late 80s? You forget the hostility by Azeri's.
Because Azeris only occupied that land in recent history when they committed ethnic purging against Armenians, who have lived there for thousands of years.
Anatolia was the birthplace of Indo-European people and the most developed civilization in the world before the nomad’s invasion. Modern-day Turkey has nothing to do with the rich historical and cultural heritage of this region. Primitive Turkic tribes ruined the great achievements of human civilization, pushing back the region for centuries behind.

I find it quite lacking that this "French/German" media refuses to disclose the reason for Armenia's exclusion from neighbourly relations. Was it because they occupied, expelled 700 thousand civilians and despite many UN decisions/Madrid principles refused to compromise with their neighbour for about 30 years?
They knew their hostile neighbors intentions. So they kept their land to secure their people as much as possible. Who expelled Baku and Sumgait Armenians first?
@@aramebandari2259Don’t play the stupid game Turkey and Azerbaijan are acting in bad faith. Pashinyan is pushing the crossroads of peace.
@@aramebandari2259 Well, if we start who did it first we need to go hundreds of years.
The problem is since 90s Armenians were acting in bad faith. They had the opportunity to secure a lasting peace and good neighbourly relations instead they followed their Russian masters directives and kept the surrounding territories as a "buffer zone".
Now they don't have peace, karabakh or the 4000+ young Armenians who unfortunately died.
@@SoghomonTehlirian1915 Same Pashinyan before 2020 was dancing around in Shusha? Knowing the city meant a lot to Azerbaijanis.

Very biased documentary😅
“It is hard to be Armenian because you are always on defensive” Seriously? Please stop playing the victim! Who attacked and occupied the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan, displaced one million Azerbaijanis, did massacre of innocent civilians, vandalized Muslim mosques and graveyards, and left hundreds of thousands of land mines behind that continue killing innocent people?
Nagorno-Karabakh was the last Armenian-majority region outside of Armenia because they had been killed or fled violence everywhere else. The people there tried to legally join Armenia multiple times back in the Soviet Union, but it was never accepted. Now they're forced out of their homes there too, with no reasonable guarantee that they can ever safely return. The region will be stripped of its Armenian identity just like all the other nearby regions in Turkey and Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan. So where you see an occupation, I see a last ditch attempt to protect a people from further extermination.
bro Armenia existed before turkey and azer. It was all our land from sea to sea.
Artsakh is historically Armenian. Stalin gave a majority Armenian region to the dictatorship of Azerbaijan.
@@Zeta4 If you can’t join “legally” that doesn’t mean you have to use force, do ethnic cleansing, displace innocent civilians, and establish a fake statehood that no single country took seriously. Isn’t it what Spain’s Catalonia tried? Did they switch to a different tactic, say, violence? No.
@@SoghomonTehlirian1915 fake, Stalin never gave anything to Azerbaijan. It is enough to look at old Soviet archives. Instead, Soviets deprived Azerbaijan of Zangezur to weaken the ties between Turkiye and the rest of the Turkic world all the way from the Caucasus to Central Asia. (Luckily this is no longer an issue.)
This region once belonged to the Republic of Georgia

This is a conflict of civilizations: Armenians represent a remaining island of ancient Indo-European civilization that once existed in the vast area of Anatolia and the Middle East. Turks/Azeris are nomads, - they came from Central Asia and imposed their dominance by exterminating and/or assimilating the local settled population. Turks continue extermination of Armenians because they know they live on Armenian land.
Your video is pretty biased. When Armenia declared independence in 1991, Armenians had free travel to all the sites on this video. Once Armenia started the war with Azerbaijan and started to demand to re-negotiate border with Turkey, Armenians lost free access to these sites. As a new republic Armenia could have said we respect all internationally recognized borders and try to build good relationship with its neighbors. Had Armenia chosen peace and negotiations, its likely these areas would have been available for them to visit now and most likely Karabakh would be mostly Armenian heritage. No one would have been pushed out of their homes. Also Armenia has to develop economic ties with Turkey in the region. They can not grow their economy depending on Russia and their original strategy of building strong ties with Iran is not going to happen. The West and USA wont help Armenia to build economic relationships with Iran. Videos like yours only push a narrow view point and they dont help Turks and Armenians to live together peacefully.
Let's talk about some facts ...
Fact: Those who encourage Armenia to follow a more "Hardcore" policy; For example, the The Diaspora and Big Friend! France are actually doing harm to the Armenians.
Fact: Armenia urgently needs to find energy resources. Metsamor, the world's most dangerous nuclear power plant, is the main source of energy today. If something were to happen to it, neither Armenia nor the Armenian race would be left behind.
Big bada bumm and no more Armenia ...!
Fact: If the risk of War arises again, neither the diaspora 15,000 km away nor the Westerners who know nothing but shouting empty can help. .. because geography. If a regional conflict breaks out, how can you deliver weapons - soldiers - ammunition and beyond that civilian aid to Yerevan? North pole route? Dig tunnels from Paris to Yerevan?
... I can list many more things, but when you look at the bottom of the page, the result is always the same.
Make peace with your neighbors, keep trade - energy and transportation routes open, and achieve prosperity and peace.
Fact is Armenia is surrounded by two hostile turkish nations under dictatorships, Alievs (40+years) Erdogan (almost 20 years), fact is until Turkey and AZ dont become a democracy, Armenia cant risk anything since it is on the brink of extintion. Also fact is fuck russia. They are weak and unreliable. PD also if war breaks out and Armenia is invaded we dont need the diaspora, it is gona be a guerilla warfare where turks losses will be so high that you may consider that option rather its worth or not to invade armenia, there is a reason armenia exists for over 2000 years and still is on the map. Come and see.

Justifiable and _factual_. Turks aren't from Anatolia. They are welcome to migrate back to Central Asia whenever they want.

And you’re a piece of garbage. Thanks for making that obvious
Providing a great example of someone whose IQ is at least so low to disregard actual discourse and immediately pull some sort of sick fascist nationalistic rhetoric. Hats off to your ignorance
And Azerbaijan is a region of Iran that never existed in its current area just over a hundred years ago on any map. And Turks did not live anywhere in this area prior to their movement westward into the region in the 1500s. Ararat, not what you call it, was celebrated by native Armenians before any Turks ever arrived in that area. So there you go
But then again, what do I know, I just enjoy talking about facts rather than fascist nonsense like you do.
You’re more likely to find a map to the lost city of Atlantis rather than of Azerbaijan that existed before the 1920s. Because the problem is… it doesn’t exist.

Interesting that nothing is said about the decades-long renaming efforts of different Turkish governemnts, mount Ararat is not to be called that way in the Turkish view, as well as the 'Armenian Highland' placename. Ani and Kars are highly rare examples of old Armenian placenames which have not been renamed or linguistically reshaped. Anyway, thanks for the good work!
Armenia was not supported by Russia during 1990s war with azerbaijan. Armenians were using hunting rifles and leftover weapons from ww2 along with soviet weapons. Russia did not help armenia with troops or weapons so what king of "support" are you talking about?
Yeah right, you received very large number of Russian weapons and ammunition from corrupt Russian generals and commanders who stationed in Gyumri and Karabakh. Plus you received tens of millions worts "aid" from your diaspora that were used in purchasing some of these arms. Plus Armenians from Lebanon and Syria arrived to join in combat. For example, the Khojaly massacre was carried out by "Arabo" units consisting of Arab Armenians.
@@Optimist_Insan any proof? Or just propaganda? I have proof you had support from turkey. Please send me a valid source. Thanx

But he knows they benefit him and the country, so he toes the line, seeing how far he can get without being reprimanded. Like the Georgian Dream party in Georgia or Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

1.Armenians didn't buy this land directly from Adam and Eve. 2. The Armenian kingdom ruled over that region only for 130 years. And they were under the protection of the Abbasids. They were vassals of the greater powers. The Armenian kingdom known as the Bagradit kingdom, founded by Gagik I. were conquered by the Byzantines in 1045. There were many other civilizations prior and after them in the region. Even the Russians were there for a short while. 3. The population of Armenia is around 4 million. The population of Turkey is almost around 90 million. A country with a population of 4 million and not claim a land which stretches from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. This is nonsense. 4. Armenians and Kurds are of Persian decent. They were Zoroastrians and Armenians adopted Christianity in the 4. CE., the Kurds predominantly adopted Islam.
