      @@lenini056 Those wars stem from borders the soviets purposely drew to complicate ethnic enclaves. Azeris would not allow Armenians to exist in Artsakh post USSR. Just like in Nakhchivan. So Yes the soviets allowed for an Armenian republic to form. As they did with almost every other ASSR. Also Lenin, in hopes of swaying Turks to communism, sent vast amounts of military aid to the them while they were advancing upon Armenia with the aim of finishing the genocide. The situation was complicated to put it lightly.

      @comrade doggo "ussr times were very good" said the ignorant guy sitting in a warm chair in a democratic country 30 years later. You forgot how Stalin slaughtered Armenians after IIWW, Armenia's national heroes who fought against Turks, which thanks to them Armenia exists, were targeted by soviets. The Armenian Genocide issue was a forbidden topic, and there was a huge pressure from Moscow to not let Yerevan develop. Also like Russian Tsarist times, they were opressed and attempted to be russified.. which.. they didn't. Not to mention the most important thing, how "ussr" gave territories as a toy gift to Azerbaijan (Najichevan, Karabakh) and Turkey (Kars, and part of western Armenia).. which practically made a conflict after ussr disolved and sided with Azerbaijan... all of this injustice after we gave Russians our best marshalls, scientifics, manufacturers, military warfare (MIG "Mikoyan") and politicians, they spitted on Armenians face many times. Still do you have the guts to say "ussr times were very good".. just shut up and don't talk crap until you are better informed.

      Armenia is in a very vulnerable position geographically. Back then before the formation of the USSR, Armenia was sandwiched between the Ottoman and Russian empire. Two big and powerful empires. While many Turks will say that Armenia never had a state, they did make up the majority in certain areas of the eastern Ottoman Empire and south Western Russian empire ( East Anatolia and south Caucasus ). After the extermination of Armenians, there were no Armenian officials or party leaders to claim those lands as they were either all dead or exiled into another country. Matter of the fact is, Turkey won in the end. They did Armenians dirty. Fast forward into time, so many laws have passed to the point where Armenia's modern borders are recognized from their Soviet borders. Think of the Armenian nation being imprisoned for so long and now that they're free, they can no longer claim their rightful former territories.
